The post comprises of two asighnments
1: Building a Collaborative Team
Order Description
Write about the following:
• A brief explanation of your specialization and the action plan you outlined in your Module 2 Discussion 1 post.
• The members of your hypothetical, cross-specialization team you will need to collaborate with to help initiate the change process you outlined in Module 2 Discussion 1. Explain why you selected these specific individuals and how their expertise will support needed changes in your specialization.
Reminder: The members of your hypothetical team may be represented by individuals already on the Grand City task force and/or from a different specialization area in your own district or locale.
• Two evidence-based strategies for working collaboratively with your team members. Be sure to explain how the strategies will establish buy-in from your team and support meaningful change for your specialization and the Grand City community.
• How you will use on-going data to inform collaborative decision making and make continued positive changes within your specialization. Be sure to support your explanation with reference to the existing Grand City data.
For this Discussion, and all scholarly writing in this course and throughout your program, you will be required to use APA style and provide reference citations.
2: First Amendment
Order Description
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Note that this amendment is only 45 words long and the portion dealing specifically with free speech and the free press is even shorter.
We have spent the semester exploring many of the free speech and press issues that have arisen and been decided by the courts pursuant to this rather general charter of freedoms. Clearly, those few words do themselves provide much in the way of specific guidance on issues such as (1) incitement, (2) prior restraints, (3) hate speech, (4) defamation, (5) privacy, commercial and corporate speech, (6) government speech, (7) symbolic conduct, (8) copyright, (9) the regulation of protests and pickets or (10) new communication technologies (e.g., broadcasting, movies and the Internet). The First Amendment also say nothing about the difference between government regulations or law that directly target the content of speech as opposed to other matters (e.g., the time, place or manner of the speech or other governmental interests) that might have an incidental impact on the content. To say that the courts have had to reason, infer and improvise over the last 200+ years would be an understatement.
First, assume the deletion of the speech and press clauses, so it reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Second, assume you have been assigned the task of adding a second paragraph to the First Amendment – a new paragraph that will deal only with expressive freedoms (i.e., speech and the press). Your new paragraph may include up to 50 words (and not one more) setting forth or stating the expressive freedoms protected by the new First Amendment.
Propose the language that you would use in your newly revised First Amendment and then write up to an additional 750 words explaining and defending your proposal. Finally, your explanation must specifically deal with at least 4 of the above issues (numbered 1 through 10).
