I have attached below the reading that this paper should be reflecting on. I have also attached all the requirements and the criteria of this paper. I would highly appreciate it if you could review the instructions to understand how the paper should be written. No additional resources are required. Only the reading I have attached in the files.

I need to come up with a research question about human traffic .for my order I need for Monday morning my draft of 5 pages .

Read two chapters 15 and 17 of the classic book on power “Prince” by Niccolo Machiavelli. It can be found at:
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/1232/1232-h/1232-h.htm
Machiavelli wrote the Prince (published in 1532) to advise princes about how to get, keep, and use political power. The book is still regarded as one of the most influential books on politics, especially on issues relating to political power.
In light of our class readings on power, write a 3 page essay comparing the textbook definitions of power (see especially week 1) with the notions expressed/implicit in the excerpts from Machiavelli. How can you relate these notions to prevailing norms in contemporary society and politics? Do you think that any of any of the advice offered by Machiavelli can apply to modern day politicians? Why and how? Can you provide some examples? Why not? Please be sure to cite sources in APA citation format as you make comparisons between the different definitions. (Don’t forget to view the rubric for specific expectations.)

Answer each question 1-4 separately.
(Question 1.) When running a linear regression model the dependent variable must be continuous but the independent variables can be either continuous or categorical.
Group of answer choices
True
False
(Question 2.) Use the data set below to answer the remaining questions. As before, you will need to download the excel sheet and load it into SPSS

For this question run a bivariate regression between levels of depression CESD (dependent variable) and emotional balance (EB in the dataset). Looking at the output EB is significant at the .05 level and for every one unit increase in EB, CESD decreases by approximately .66 units.
Group of answer choices
True
False
(Question 3.) For this question run a bivariate regression between levels of depression CESD (dependent variable) and cognitive status (CS in the dataset). Looking at the output CS is not significant at the .05 level and for every one unit increase in CS, CESD decreases by approximately .77 units.
Group of answer choices
True
False
(Question 4.) For this question run a multivariate regression between levels of depression CESD (dependent variable) and cognitive status (CS), emotional balance (EB), physical health (PH), and age. Select ALL of the answers below that are true about the regression output.
Group of answer choices
EB is significant at the .05 level
CS is significant at the .05 level
PH is significant at the .05 level
Age is significant at the .10 level
On average, holding all other variables constant, a one unit increase in EB leads to a .496 increase in CESD.
On average, holding all other variables constant, a one unit increase in CS leads to a .473 decrease in CESD.

This final exam is designed to assess your ability to apply your research design and data analysis skills toward real world problems. For the exam you will review the attached case studies (Part A and Part B located in the final exam folder) and produce an essay addressing the 4 parts below.
Research Question/Theory of Change/Evidenced Based Review/Logic Model:
This section will start with a clearly specified research question that meets the criteria of a “good question”. Next, you will clearly state the program’s theory of change based on the information from the case study. It is expected that you also include a logic model that aligns with the research question and theory of change.
Methods Section:
As you will read in the case study, the Program Director is concerned with 1) knowing if her program has been successful and 2) to prepare a formal program evaluation. To these ends, in the methods section you have two tasks. First, you will discuss the strengths and weaknesses related to the organization’s current data collection efforts. Second, you will then provide suggestions to improve the organization’s data collection moving forward as they prepare to formally evaluate their program in the future. This section will focus on all aspects of the data generating process (sampling procedures, measurements, instruments, data collection process, etc.).
Data Analysis:
In this section you will use the organization’s existing data to evaluate the success of the program to date. Note, even if the current data is not ideal, you will use what you know as a researcher to provide some insights toward if the program is effective. You will find a data set located in the final exam folder.
Conclusion:
Your conclusion should include an overview of the project and the main findings/suggestions for the program. In this section you should also discuss any limitations related to the data analyzed and the reported findings.

DO NOT USE THE NOTE SECTION. NOTES CANNOT BE SEEN!!!
Proposed Policy: All citizens and permanent residents (Green Card holders) will be required to participate in an 18-month National Service program. Service can be started any time between an individual’s 18th [and] 22nd birthday. Service shall include healthcare assistance, infrastructure/environmental repair, early childhood education programs, eldercare assistance, or military service. Participation in the military option shall be voluntary. National service participants shall receive free communal room, board, and a subsistence allowance. Participants shall receive $10,000 upon successful completion of their service. People who fail to successfully complete their National Service obligation shall not be eligible for any Federal student loan or mortgage guarantee program.
For this assignment, assume you are a U.S. ambassador and are preparing to pursue a policy that would be beneficial to the United States.
You have been asked to guest lecture at your child’s high school Political Science class. You must create a PowerPoint in which you explain how you will pursue implementation of your policy and the challenges and pressures you will face in the process.
Your PowerPoint must address at least the following:
In a brief introduction, explain why even young citizens should understand the policy implementation process. Why should they care?
Explain the policy, it may be foreign or domestic, and why you are championing it.
What is the role of political parties in the process?
What is the role and influence of interest groups and citizens?
What involvement and function does the federal government have in the process?
How will the media (traditional and social) be used to influence the development and implementation of your policy?
Your presentation must be at least 12 slides in length, not counting the title and references slides. You must use at least four images, graphics, or photos in your presentation. Ensure your presentation is geared toward this unique audience.
I have attached sample presentations from the class.Choose a similar, but unique format.

Answer one question from each of the following three sections.
These are not short-answer exams. Essays should be made up of multiple paragraphs and two pages for each answer.

I’ve graded all reading responses that were submitted on time. Please take a look at my feedback and let me know if you have any questions.
Here’s what we’re up to this week:
This week’s readings
We the People, pp. 96-104
*Texas v. Johnson (1989) (excerpt)

This week we’re discussing civil liberties, focusing on the First Amendment to the Constitution, which provides for religion and speech protections.

As you’ll read in We the People, it took a while for the Supreme Court to finally incorporate the speech protections outlined in the First Amendment — meaning, bar the individual states from restricting citizen speech. But even with incorporation, the Supreme Court was initially willing to allow the federal government to silence citizen speech that it deemed dangerous to national security.
After completing the readings in our textbook, you should also be ready to discuss the following questions:
Broadly, how would you define civil liberties? Where do they appear in the Constitution?
What is incorporation, and why is it important? How does the Fourteenth Amendment play a pivotal role in the process of incorporation
Where in the Bill of Rights does the establishment clause appear? What does it mean? What does it prohibit government from doing? Has it always been easy for the Supreme Court to interpret the establishment clause? Why or why not?
Where in the Bill of Rights does the free exercise clause appear? What does it mean? What does it prohibit government from doing? Has it always been easy for the Supreme Court to interpret the free exercise clause? Why or why not?
Where in the Bill of Rights does freedom of speech appear? What does it mean, and why, why is it an important democratic value? How does government suppression of speech harm a democracy?
In the Supreme Court’s 1989 Texas v. Johnson opinion, Justice Brennan wrote:
“The Government may not prohibit the verbal or nonverbal expression of an idea merely because society finds the idea offensive or disagreeable, even where our flag is involved.” Using evidence from the excerpt, explain the Court’s reasoning in siding with the speaker in this case, Johnson.
What was the case about? What was the Supreme Court saying about the meaning of the First Amendment and the limits its places on government regulation of speech?
