House Districts lopsidedly favor the Republican or Democratic candidate, and partisan gerrymandering is among the reasons

 Most House Districts lopsidedly favor the Republican or Democratic candidate, and partisan gerrymandering is among the reasons. In redrawing election district boundaries after the census, state legislatures tend to configure them in ways designed to create safe Democratic or Republican districts. 

1. Do you think that state legislatures should do the redistricting?

2. Or do you favor the system used by a few states where an independent bipartisan commission is in charge of drawing congressional district boundaries after each census? 

3. What is the basis of your preferred method?

Address the question above in a fully developed post (at least 300 words) 

Raise at least one interesting question for your classmates to answer

      Where to Educate? If you were a parent of a child diagnosed with a behavior problem caused by a neurological disorder such as bipolar, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder, would you want your child to be educated in the general classroom with typically-developing or non-disabled peers, or in a smaller, more restrictive environment where there is a smaller teacher-to-student ratio with other children who have similar disabilities? Provide a rationale for your decision and use outside resources to support your perspective. List at least three intervention strategies you would use, as a teacher, to include this student in your classroom. Be sure to write which age/grade-level you’ve chosen, along with the appropriate behavior intervention strategies.

      Global Warming Introduction: Global warming has now been established as a fact by virtually all climate scientists worldwide. Presently, the levels of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere are at levels never seen before in the last 600,000 years, and that these gases are continuing to increase in the atmosphere at an alarming rate. Most recent scientific evidence shows that human activities are producing a significant part of this increase. Several years ago, a movie titled “An Inconvenient Truth” and staring Al Gore, focused on the global warming issue. This movie presents a comprehensive set of evidence that supports the notion that the earth’s atmosphere, land and ocean are warming up. Al Gore does an excellent job at presented the evidence, discussing the consequences, and offering solutions to the global warming issue. Opinions and interpretations are also given, based on the factual evidence presented. Note that a couple of years have gone by since the mak...

      Planet Zindau has an equal distribution of land and water between both hemispheres.

      For this assignment, you are challenged to answer a series of questions about a fictional planet, Zindau, to demonstrate your understanding of Module Two’s seasonality concepts. Prompt: Our story begins in the Andromeda Galaxy. You are an inhabitant of a planet called Zindau, which is approximately the size of Earth. It orbits a star that is about the same size as the Sun. Further, the distance between these celestial bodies is approximate to the Earth and Sun. However, there are some differences: Planet Zindau has an equal distribution of land and water between both hemispheres. Planet Zindau has an axial tilt of 35 degrees. Although the perihelion and aphelion occur at about the same time as the solstices (as it does for Earth), the eccentricity of Zindau’s orbit is 10% (as compared to about 2% for Earth). The alignment of the perihelion and aphelion relative to the year is the same as that for Earth. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:A...
