Trace the historical development of law, the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Court system, legal terminology, and legal procedures.

Final Project – Civic Engagement Through the Political Process

This portion of the final project is a written paper that focuses on the processes involved in making the laws that we study as part of the GBS 205 course.  It meets the following course competency:

• Trace the historical development of law, the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Court system, legal terminology, and legal procedures.

The written paper should be divided into three distinct sections.  It should be written as a paper and not a question and answer worksheet.  

SECTION 1 – Civic Engagement Through Contact with Representatives

This section should include the following:

1. A list of the names of the people that represent the area you live in each of the following offices:

• Two U.S. Senators – (These are the people that represent Arizona in Washington DC.)• 

One U.S. Congressman – (Also serves in Washington D.C., determined by your Congressional district)• 

 The governor of Arizona• 

Two state representatives – (represent the district where you live; they meet in Phoenix Arizona.)• 

One state senator – (represent the district where you live; they meet in Phoenix Arizona.)• 

The mayor of the city where you live.• 

A city council member that represents the area of the city where you live.

2. A copy of a letter (or an email) written to one of the above representatives discussing an issue that is important to you and suggesting to them an appropriate way of dealing with it.  You should actually send this letter (or email) to the person to whom it is addressed.

3. A discussion of why you chose this issue, why you chose this representative for dealing with this issue and the importance of communicating with representatives in this manner.  Do you think they read communications such as this and respond to them or are they simply ignored?

SECTION 2 – Understanding the State Legislative Process

For this section of the paper you will need to watch a video archive of a meeting of the state legislature.  To find a meeting go to the Arizona State Legislature webpage.  Select either the Senate or House drop down menu.  Select “Archived Meetings” and you will get a list of previously held meetings that you can watch online.  Choose a meeting that is at least 30 minutes long on a topic that interests you and watch it in its entirety. (Hint: The most interesting topics are discussed early in the year so go back to a meeting in February or March). Write about it in this section and include the following:

1. The name of the group holding the meeting (“Joint Legislative Budget Committee” or “Senate Judiciary” etc.), the date and the length of the meeting.

2. A detailed summary of what happened in the meeting including an identification of any bills that were discussed.

3. Your own evaluation of the importance of the topics discussed in the meeting to both Arizona residents and the Arizona business community.

4. Your understanding and evaluation of the state legislative process.  Are the needs and effects on business adequately presented and discussed at these meetings?  How can businesses influence policy and legislation in the state?  Can you think of anything that might be done to improve this process from a businessperson’s perspective?  

SECTION 3 – Understanding Local Government

For this section of the paper you need to watch a video archive of both a city council meeting and a city council study session.  (If you can demonstrate with pictures or video that you actually attended these meetings you can receive up to 50 extra credit points.). Go to the city’s website and find a link to archived meetings (all cities sites are different – you should be able to navigate through this fairly simply) and watch both meetings in their entirety.

Write about the following in this section of your paper:

1. The city, date and time of both meetings.

2. A detailed description of what happened in each meeting – including prayers, awards, pledge of allegiance, contracts and ordinances discussed, contents of consent agendas etc. 

3. Your evaluation of the importance and relevance of the what happened in the meetings to the residents of the city or town.

 4. Your opinion on the city council process overall.  Is it accessible, valuable, important for residents to attend these meetings?  Do citizens have an adequate say in what takes place in a meeting such as this?  

5. Do the mayor and councilmembers seem to have a good understanding of the issues?  Are they considering the interests of local businesses and citizens when they make their decisions?  Are local businesses represented at the meetings?  Do businesses have good opportunity to express their positions on the issues?  Do you have any suggestions for improving the process?

The length of the paper is not as important as its completeness.  You will be graded on having included a thoughtful discussion on all of the topics presented in this prompt.  Simple “yes” or “no” type answers will not receive credit without further explanation of the reasoning behind the answer.

Cognitive Development Activity for Infant Room: Peekaboo.

Cognitive Development Activities

[WLOs: 1, 3, 4] [CLOs: 1, 4, 5, 6]

Prior to completing this assignment, read Chapters 7 and 8 in your textbook and read the Piaget’s Enduring Contribution to Developmental Psychology, On Major Developments in Preschoolers’ Imagination, and The Timing and Quality of Early Experiences Combine to Shape Brain Architecture: Working Paper No. 5 (Links to an external site.) articles. Also, review the Week 5 Final Project instructions for creating the proposal, and review the videos: Play: A Vygotskian approach and Piaget’s Stages of Development (Links to an external site.).

The purpose of this assignment is for you to continue working on  elements that will become part of your Community Center Proposal Final  Project. This week you will be creating three activities that address  cognitive development in the age groups assigned. These will become part  of the infant room, early childhood room, and adolescent room of your  center.

Using Piaget’s, Vygotsy’s, and/or Information processing theories of  cognitive development, you will continue to build your Community Center  Proposal by identifying activities for the assigned rooms that promotes  cognitive development for children and adolescents. The activity must be  focused on the cognitive milestones of the age group and must be  clearly tied to specific theory. You must use at least one credible  source.  Your activities might be focused on object permanence for  infants, conservation, egocentrism, or conservation for early childhood,  or deductive reasoning for adolescence. Table 7.1 in your textbook will  be useful in completing this activity.

Focus on the primary developmental tasks of each age period. For each  of the three activities, write a paragraph that addresses the  following:

  • Describe the activity in some detail (provide more than just the name of the activity).
  • Identify the specific concept from cognitive development theory that supports the use of this activity.
  • Identify how the activity enhances cognitive development in the specific age group.

Here are two examples providing you a model of how to approach this  assignment and how to build the elements of the rooms in your community  center.

Examples of Activities:

Example 1: Cognitive Development Activity for Infant Room: Peekaboo. 

One of the activities we will incorporate into the infant room is  peekaboo. This is a game where the caregiver hides himself from the  child (covering the child’s eyes or hiding behind a chair, etc.) and  then appears again by uncovering the child’s eyes or coming out from  behind the chair. Another variation of this would be hiding a treasured  object under a scarf and then revealing it again. One of the milestones  of the first year of life is the development of object permanence.  Object permanence occurs when an infant grasps that something (an  object, a person) still exists even when the infant cannot see it. This  is a concept from Piaget’s theory of cognitive development and is one of  the developmental tasks of the sensorimotor stage. Newborns do not have  a sense of permanence. When they cannot see you, you do not exist for  them. During the first year of life, they slowing learn that objects and  people continue to exist even with they cannot be seen (Mossler, 2014).  Playing peekaboo is one way to foster the development of object  permanence. Infants usually delight in seeing someone appear and then  hide, only to reappear. This activity will support the cognitive  development domain and also the psychosocial domain because of its  interactive nature.

Mossler, R. A. (2014). Child and adolescent development (2nd ed.). Retrieved from https://content.ashford.edu/

Example 2: Cognitive Development Activity for Adolescent Room: Board Games Involving Strategy and Problem Solving. 

In the adolescent room, we propose having a collection of board games  that require logical thinking and problem solving. Adolescence is the  beginning of more sophisticated thinking. Children in this age group  move from concrete operations to what Piaget calls formal operations.  They are becoming capable of deductive and hypothetical reasoning  (Mossler, 2014). Games like chess, Battleship, and checkers all require  players to engage in this kind of thinking. Another game that can be  used is the game of Clue. This game supports the development of  prepositional logic and requires players to think hypothetically  (Neller, Markov, and Russell, 2006). These games will not only promote  cognitive development but will further support psychosocial development  because of the required interactions.

Effective financial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior.

Effective financial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior. Financial scandals in accounting and the businesses world have resulted in legislation to ensure adequate disclosures and honesty and integrity in financial reporting. A sound economy is contingent on truthful and reliable financial reporting.

Instructions:

  • Read the following scenario.
  • Answer the questions that follow. This will be a 2-3 page submission in a question and answer format (also in paragraph form). An introduction and conclusion is not required.
  • Refer back to your textbook for guidance on how to think through the scenario.

You have been recently hired as an assistant controller for XYZ Industries, a large, publically held manufacturing company. Your immediate supervisor is the controller who also reports directly to the VP of Finance. The controller has assigned you the task of preparing the year-end adjusting entries.  In the receivables area, you have prepared an aging accounts receivable and have applied historical percentages to the balances of each of the age categories.  The analysis indicates that an appropriate estimated balance for the allowance for uncollectible accounts is $180,000.  The existing balance in the allowance account prior to any adjusting entry is a $20,000 credit balance.

After showing your analysis to the controller, he tells you to change the aging category of a large account from over 120 days to current status and to prepare a new invoice to the customer with a revised date that agrees with the new category.  This will change the required allowance for uncollectible accounts from $180,000 to $135,000. Tactfully, you ask the controller for an explanation for the change and he tells you “We need the extra income, the bottom line is too low.”

Required:

In a 2-3 page paper, discuss the following:

  1. Consider what you have learned relative to ethics and financial reporting. What is the rationale for the calculations/process used to estimate the $180,000 uncollectible allowance?
  2. How do you think the misstatement of funds will impact the income statement and balance sheet?
  3. What is the ethical dilemma you face? What are the ethical considerations? Consider your options and responsibilities as assistant controller.
  4. Identify the key internal and external stakeholders. What are the negative impacts that can happen if you do not follow the instructions of your supervisor?
  5. What are the potential consequences if you do comply with your supervisor’s instructions? Who will be negatively impacted?

Additional Requirements:

  • Use at least one (1) quality academic resource (in addition to your textbook) for this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources. You have access to Strayer University’s Online Library at https://research.strayer.edu and the iCampus University Library Research page at https://icampus.strayer.edu/library/research.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Your paper should be double spaced (Arial or Times Roman 12 pt font) and follow general Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) as they relate to references and citations. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details (more information and an example is included in the Strayer Writing Standards menu link located in your Blackboard).
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
