Describe the changes that have occurred in the sports news market which have led the industry to become both more politically relevant and more ideologically liberal. Since sports fans are not all liberal, how might selective exposure fit into this paradigm shift? And, considering this, should we expect the liberal trend to continue?

How quart address or respect our civil rights

In Part I this week, choose a case from your state that involves civil rights or civil liberties that was decided by the United States Supreme Court. If your state does not have a case that was decided by the United States Supreme Court, choose a civil rights case from another state for which the United States Supreme Court issued a decision.

Here is a brief description of civil rights and civil liberties: Civil rights refers to equal social opportunities under the law. It gives you these freedoms such as the right to vote, the right to public education, or a fair trial, among other things, regardless of your wealth or race. Civil liberties mean freedom of religion, equal treatment and due process under the law, and the right to privacy.

You should be able to go online and look up your state and famous cases decided by the Supreme Court. For example, Brown v Board of Education (1951) started in Topeka, Kansas and ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States. Another example would be Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v Steve Sisolak, Governor of Nevada (2020) that started in Nevada and ended up the United States Supreme Court. A good source of information about cases decided by the United States Supreme Court is www.scotusblog.com. Other sources can be researched online using search terms for “civil rights cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.” Be sure to use a case actually decided by the United States Supreme Court, and not a case decided by your state’s supreme court or a different court. A case that is still pending before the United States Supreme Court should not be used. If you are unsure, please contact your Professor BEFORE you pick your case and submit the assignment as this is a significant part of your overall grade.

Research your court case and write an outline of the case that you will be using to prepare a presentation, which will either be a narrated PowerPoint, a Kaltura Video, or some other format as approved by your instructor. If you are unsure, then verify the presentation format with your instructor before starting work on this assignment.

This week’s assignment should include (a) summary of the case; (b) a case outline; and a summary.

A. Summary of the Case

In one or two paragraphs, provide a general overview of the case that serves as a snapshot of what the case is about and how it ended up in your state high court. A summary is using your words to write a brief history of the case. Do not give your opinion or your interpretation but stick to the facts only.

B: Case Outline

Your court case outline should include:

Title: Name of the case
Facts of the case: Provide key facts involving the case.
History of the case: What legal action was taken based on what your state laws say about this case?
Legal questions: What were the legal issues the court had to decide?
Decision or holdings: Did the court decide for the plaintiff or the defendant? Explain the reason behind the decision?
Verdict and opinion (judgement): What were the concurring and dissenting opinions? How many judges decided for the defendant and how many justices decided against the defendant? What was the final verdict from the judge or the jury, if it was a jury trial?

C. Conclusion

What was the resulting impact of the ruling? How did the citizens of your state benefit from it? Was this a good decision?

Examine whether power imbalance and ethnicity have an impact on the strategic behaviour of an alliance partner witin an alliance, namely: whether the fighting effort that the partner makes in the alliance increases or decreases when taking into account these variables.

Alliances: power imbalances and ethnicity

1) The power imbalance between allies within an alliance. This part should show, based on literature, that when the power imbalance between the participants in an alliance is high (for ex: one participant is much lager and has more power), the alliance works better: a leader-follower structure. It concerns alliances in a war or political context (between states, rebel groups, war partners…). This means, for example, that when one of the partners has a lot more power than the other partners, the alliance works better. On the other hand; when power is more equally distributed in the alliance, more problems arise and the alliance works less well. This first part should be approx. 1500 words long.

2) The second part is about ethnicity whitin an alliance. This part should show that when alliance partners have the same ethnicity, the level of trust is higher and the alliance works better. When alliance partners don’t have the same ethnicity the alliance works less well. This part should (if possible) be more focused on African ethnicities of rebel groups for example in the Congo War. The second part should also be approx. 1500 words long.

Examine whether power imbalance and ethnicity have an impact on the strategic behaviour of an alliance partner witin an alliance, namely: whether the fighting effort that the partner makes in the alliance increases or decreases when taking into account these variables.
