I don’t know how to handle this Policy question and need guidance.

please respond to the following post:

         I chose to analyze what I found to be a rather interesting case study entitled “Transparency and Trust in Government: Evidence From a Survey Experiment.”  The authors utilized an online randomized survey to determine if increased transparency would improve the Argentinian citizens trust in the government.  They believed that this question required an immediate answer because according to Alessandro et al (2021), if citizens do not believe the government will fulfill its promises, or that their fellow citizens will join them in voting against governments that default on their promises, they will not demand policies that expand the provision of public good (p. 108).  This online survey was completed by a total of 1999 participants, all of whom resided in the city of Buenos Aires.  And Argentina as a nation was chosen because the authors believed that the data would be more beneficial coming from citizens already having overall low levels of trust.  Alessandro et al (2021) note that in Argentina, less than 20 percent of the population trust other people, and only 24 percent trust the government (p. 110).

           In this particular experiment, participants randomly received information detailing commitments the Argentinian government made to the citizens of Buenos Aires.  Secondly, they were randomly assigned either an efficiency-based pledge from the government or an empathy-based pledge to improve citizen life.  And lastly, the randomly assigned information received showed that the Argentinian government was either over-performing or under-performing on its commitments.  Unsurprisingly, “the group that received information that the government was over-performing on its goals showed significantly higher trust than those who received information that the government was under-performing on its goals” (Alessandro et al, 2021, p. 111).  When it comes to improving trust in the government, performance matters.  This is furthered by the fact that the authors found no difference in levels of government trust between the efficiency based and empathy-based approaches.

            From an ethical standpoint, regarding the moral principles that govern conduct, the government does have a moral obligation to provide its citizenry with both timely and accurate information with respect to its performance, regardless of the outlook.  Rampant “fake news” and a growing distrust of the media is certainly not a phenomenon singular to the United States.  This only contributes to government distrust and according to Alessandro et al (2021), if citizens believe that only the best results are shown or that there may be “fake news,” the value of the signal falls and the information is dismissed as nothing more than cheap talk (p. 131).  A government that consistently displays responsible stewardship should have no issues providing accurate data to its citizens, allowing them to adequately gauge government integrity, openness, and fairness.  “Providing factual knowledge about government performance outcomes and the intentions of the government could be an important way of increasing citizen trust in government” (Alessandro et al, 2021, p. 109).  

              From a statesmanship standpoint, when it comes to managing public affairs, the results of this survey make it readily apparent that a governments main focus should be on achieving its intended goals.  In actually achieving what they notified the citizens they intended to do, the government is rewarded with increased citizen trust and approval.  This in turn makes it much easier for the government to achieve its other goals moving forward.  Argentina is similar to many other Latin American countries in that government corruption, numerous scandals, and an overall lack of performance has eroded the publics trust in government.  Yet, show them some information displaying that the government is currently over-performing its intended goals and public trust improves immediately.  As Mike Huckabee stated in his November 16, 2019 episode of Huckabee on TBN, “politics is a full contact sport, played without pads, that is not for the faint of heart” (Huckabee, 2019).  That being said, it is still very important that those in government realize that the majority of citizens do not follow government action closely.  In order to both instill and maintain public trust, the government must provide its citizens with accurate information allowing them to adequately shape their perceptions of government performance.  Obtaining the trust of its citizenry is a priority of any successful administration.  And according to Shafritz & Hyde (2017), the history of the world can be viewed as the rise and fall of public administrative institutions (p. 3).

           And lastly, from a governance standpoint, the results of the survey display that the manner of governing is of importance, but in the end results are what really matter to citizens.  The fact of the matter is that citizens of all nations truly want to trust their governments.  “And numerous studies have identified that trust in the institution of government is a key factor in social and economic progress as well as democratic stability” (Alessandro et al, 2021, p. 108).  Governments are not expected to be perfect, but they must prove that they are not inept, free of any scandals, and at least working towards the achievement of their intended goals.  The Lord believed in responsible stewardship and in following through on previous commitments.  In Corinthians 9:6 Paul urged his followers “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously” (The Holy Bible, NIV, 2011).

As you have seen in your studies throughout the course, terrorism has played a key role in the life of Americans both here and abroad. Prior to beginning this written assignment, review the Congressional Research Report: Domestic Terrorism: An Overview (Links to an external site.)(Summary, Introduction, and section on Lone Wolves pages 53-56). Many of these same concerns dealing with Lone Wolf terrorism apply to the international terrorist connection. Finally, read the Congressional Research Report: The Islamic State’s Acolytes and the Challenges They Pose to U.S. Law Enforcement (Links to an external site.).

Clearly the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon changed the way America looks and responds to terrorism.  These attacks led to the largest reorganization of the Federal Government, changed the way we interact with foreign governments, and resulted in policy changes that affect our security and civil liberties.  As the video points out there are various perspectives when it comes to the terrorism.  You may examine this topic from a federal, state, local government, or first responder or emergency management perspective.

For this written assignment you are to write a three- to five-page position paper on The Changing Face of Terrorism. This paper must

• Examine the current state of the threat of terrorism within America.
• Analyze the tools law enforcement is using to counter the threat.
• Determine if law enforcement has the necessary tools to counter the threat.
• Formulate your position on whether we are winning the war on terrorists, holding our own, or setting ourselves up for another 9/11.

Prior to posting your initial post go to the UAGC Library to conduct your initial research. Identify a credible source (this is a step down from a scholarly source, and includes editorials from reputable news sources and TV documentaries), using the Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) document for guidance. Identify issues that are applicable to the Department of Homeland Security’s challenges with immigration control.

Summarize two of the Homeland Security issues found in the article, journal article, or TV documentary and advocate for or against the position of the author of the article or documentary.

Read the AFP article assigned in this module, Bloodiest Campaign on Record, with 48 Mexican Politicians Murdered this Election Season, and write a short paper responding to the following prompt:

please respond to this discussion post:

The debate on whether or not to get a Covid-19 vaccine is at the forefront of many debates. There are apparent philosophical differences pertinent to the vaccine. The writer is in a pro-vaccine camp. This discussion will be the effects of the Moderna vaccine by the COVE Study Group in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The vaccines are used to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease and protect people at high risk for complications. The Moderna vaccine is lipid-based cell that attaches to the virus protein that causes the disease which makes everyone sick. The authors used the vaccine on a trial basis at 99 centers across the country in an “observer-blinded, placebo-controlled trial” (COVE Study Group, 2021). The trial enrolled 30,420 volunteers randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either vaccine or placebo. The 1:1 ratio means that vaccine and placebo were measured in the same proportion. There were positive and negative effects, but the study found that the Moderna vaccine is 94.1% at effectively preventing Covid-19

Dr. Barton Haynes supports the success of the Moderna Vaccine. Haynes suggests that the vaccine is a “medical triumph” because the scientific community is ready from years of technology development for other vaccines, such as those against HIV, influenza. He also credits the rapidly established clinical trials (Haynes, 2021).

Yale Medicine reports that Pfizer has a 91.3% success rate compared to Johnson and Johnson, with 72% efficiency (Katella, 2021). Two other vaccines are being distributed yet in the United States. Oxford-AstraZeneca is currently being used in European countries, and Novavex expects to hit the market at the end of 2021

Other than the effectiveness of taking the vaccine, there are multiple reasons. The shot is free is and has been made available at pharmacies, CVS, and Wal-Mart. A person being vaccinated means they are less likely to spread the disease to others. The biggest reason is that vaccines help get things back to normal—no more masks or zoom meetings. You can sit down in a restaurant instead of taking it to go. More importantly, we can have human interaction again.

The CDC has recently focused on debugging the myths of the vaccines. Receiving the vaccine will not you magnetic. There is currently no evidence support that the vaccine causes any problems with pregnancy. Vaccines do not change or morph a person’s DNA. Lastly, the writer’s favorite myth is the vaccine will not cause you to grow a tail (CDC, 2021). Proverbs 14:15 says, “The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going”(KJV, 2021).  The writer encourages the reader to be smart and do what is best for their family. No, the vaccine is not a 100% guarantee, but neither is a seatbelt but we all use them every day.
