In order to understand where public policy comes from, we must first understand how the government is set up. When Congress was first set up, it had limited powers: wage war, make peace, enter into treaties and alliances, appoint and receive ambassadors, regulate Indian affairs and create a postal system (Bowman & Kearney, 2014, p. 29) . This, however, set up the opportunities for states to disagree. Shortly after, the states got together to create a first of its kind system of government in an attempt to keep each other accountable and named it Federalism. It created a dual federalism system of government where there were very distinct and separate responsibilities between the national and state governments (Bowman & Kearney, 2014, p. 39). After the Great Depression, however, it evolved into a cooperative federalism system. Yet, even while under this system, the federal government understood there were concerns intertwined between states and the federal government and since 1964, the system evolved again and formed a…

The dual coding processing theory was first described by Allan Paivio. According to him, “verbal and visual stimuli are processed separately but simultaneously in working memory” (Paivio and Clark, 1991). Paivio notes that, the visual and verbal processes are connected and with both, one is able to be sure of what they imagine or talk about. For instance, one can hear of the word an airplane, it is one thing hearing and the other seeing the airplane. Therefore, it is one thing hearing the word…

They believe that if a child speaks two languages that their education should reflect that. When it comes to me helping the students we do not…

This is a great way to help you understand community relationships. Activity system is a good system because it “sees all aspects of activity as shaped over time by people’s social interactions with each other and the tools they use” (1).
