I already completed first half of the paper. The requirements for the second half is as follows:
The second half of your paper will then consist of you identifying a problem area of housing relevant to the course literature. Pick one area of study from our entire course that you have been writing towards in your syntheses, and decide on a place that you would like to study regarding that issue. This will require some research and background on your part, so do NOT procrastinate on this part of the project. Once settled, then do the following: Explain, in detail, the cause of housing issues or problems in a place of your choice within the context of the topic you are studying ( some examples include, but are not limited to, segregation, development, legal frameworks…etc.). You are free to choose an entire state, a metropolitan area, or even a specific municipality. A brief tip here, the more specific you are about your chosen problem and discussing that literature on causes of said problem, the easier the assignment will be. So, be thorough in your citations. It will make your life and your writing much easier.
Research a solution. This is really the point of the assignment, and probably the section of which you can devote most of your time. In providing your solution, you must choose something that: A) Specifically addresses a solution that may serve in your chosen place, B) Has been used before in another instance somewhere in the world or have been attempted somewhere at some time (another country is fine) C) Have literature and studies done on the solution that you can discuss to argue for your solution. Thus, your proposed solution must address your topic and also not have been created out of thin air. It must be rooted in literature and have studies and/or results that you can discuss. This section of the paper should also discuss how your solution will be tailored to fit your case.
Your thesis statement will be absolutely key to this project and you should spend a considerable amount of time on it. As in: What has the literature of this course led you to identify and why/how does YOUR proposal help solve the problem? A great thesis will give you something to write to, don’t rush it!
I have attached my synthesis and part of the second part that I started in the paper here. Please let me know if you want anything else. I have also provided an outline to follow. I do think 2 pages should be enough but, if not, I will tip you after the work has been completed. BONUS: if you can proofread this paper.

Try to make it from the perspective of a first-generation Hispanic male from Southern California whose parents are immigrants(one political value). Here are some other political values and ideas(ranked): making naturalization easier, Cost of education, climate change, Inflation and price gouging, systemic racism…
I want you to write a comparative analysis in 400-500 words that evaluates how well each candidate aligns with your political values and priorities. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate’s platform and assess their potential impact on important issues. Reflect on any discrepancies between your values and a candidate’s policies, and explore how you prioritize different issues in making your decision. Remember you are covering two different races, the Presidency, and the CA Senate Race.
Lastly, I want you to endorse a candidate in each race:  select the candidate whom you believe best represents your political values and priorities. Provide a rationale for your decision, highlighting specific policy positions or personal attributes that influenced your choice. Write a persuasive endorsement statement (300-500 words) explaining why your chosen candidate deserves the support of your classmates and the broader electorate.
Make sure to utilize the required reading: THE RISE AND RISE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE     (Gary Lawson) and any general information from Ch.11 in the attached textbook section.
Minimum total word count: 700 words.

the film ” Tickiling Giants” has to be watched and i would appreciate it if you did a short paper on this last film — just a few reflexions on the film, no citations needed, only a page or two in length, just to let me know you didn’t sleep through it and found something useful in it. 🙂

assignment will be AI tested , attached you have a screenshot of the assignment questions/requirements and the pdf of what your assignment is based on.
for question number 5 here is the link for the YouTube video :

PLEASE REACH OUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
GUTIERREZJUAN676@gmai l.com

Instructions are attached below. But also don’t write the answers to these questions to perfect or professionally, what I’m saying is my professor is aware I’m one of those students who isn’t fond on this subject. Thanks! Also please attach a turnitin check, because the document will be submitted through turnitin. I still need a good grade though. ALSO ONLY USE THE LINK PROVIDED AND REFERERENCE THAT SOURCE FROM THE LINK ONLY.

Student submissions will be 500-words of double-spaced text, 12-point, and Times New Roman font. All sources (such as class readings and lectures) must be cited using in-text citations and a “works cited” section at the end of your essay. This work is intended to be done in discussion with your group members.
First, summarize the discussion of your group. What did you find most compelling?
Second, answer the questions of the prompt in your own manner.
as provided below, I have included the chapter that we have covered this week and I have also covered some notes from my discussion for this week for my group. You can use these to complete the assignment.

“In the tumultuous central Italy of the Renaissance, Cesare Borgia and O/liverotto da Fermo contended for power with one another as well as with other captains and princes like the Orsini and Vitelli. How were the two alike, and how did they differ? Which of them might Machiavelli have esteemed more highly, and why?”
Only use The Prince as a source. 

In the work, you need to write an essay on a chosen topic. There is an explanation of the requirements in the task brief. My work should be devoted to all this+ epistemology of the word.
Types of Democratic Regimes: Representative, Parliamentary, Presidential, Direct
Main Ingredients of Democracy:
Fundamental Rights and Freedoms
Separation of Power (Montesquieu)
Elections
Rule of Law
The Parliament
Government and the Opposition
Political Pluralism
Public Opinion and Free Media
Prospects for Democracy: Is the world becoming more democratic?
Democratic Peace Theory: Are democracies more peaceful
But in the work you need also analyse an event or the process of modern life through the lenses of all points that are written above, you can do it in any way, but the topic should be covered. I would start with democracy by itself, its justifications, ingredients and then talking about the exmaple. I have written a bit, so you can use it in the work:  
Democracy is a word that appeared many years ago and can be used to describe a system of governance where power is held by people in two possible ways: either directly or through representatives elected by the citizens. It originally comes from the Greek words “demos”-people and “kratos”-rule, which can explain Athenian democracy, where citizens were allowed to engage directly in various decision-making processes, participate in assemblies, and have their “say” in the adoption of different laws and policies. This direct type of democracy became the groundwork for the establishment of modern interpretations and concepts of democratic regimes. Subsequently, philosophers and political theorists have provided a wide range of justifications for the democratic type of governance, which has influenced the modern structures of society. 
First of all, one of the main examples of justification is the social contract theory, which takes its roots from Tomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. According to them, people in their natural state set up a social contract to create a government that will ensure their security and protect their rights and freedoms together with the promotion of their well-being and prevention of crises and instabilities. John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau advocated more for democracy, as this form of governance meets the will of citizens and assists them in achieving the common good, establishing a community of free and equal people, with the consent of citizens to be governed by representatives they elected. 
Talking about the event, you can focus on Hong-Kong, and its problems with democracy or democratic movements that take place there. Or you can choose another event that is suitable and better describes the situation, but its should be something global, like taking a country and analysing the processes that take place there. 
In the beginning there should be a small sort of executive summary, where you will write what is work about and like an introduction. 
It is very nice when there citations in the work and the words of someone.
