Statement of Rights Order Description Please review the thesis and outline you provided for order 81518534. I think there was a bit of misunderstanding on that order. Below are the instructions for the paper, and please the references from order 8158534 and more if need be. The major project here is based on the development of a statement of rights for the fictional island of Tagg. Here are the basic facts concerning Tagg. It will be important throughout this course: The Island Nation of Tagg is composed of five separate islands in the Pacific Ocean. The islands are located in a circular pattern. All of the islands are within 200 miles of each other. The largest island has a population of 350,000 people. The other four islands have a population of 100,000 people each. Tagg is more than 500 miles from land in all directions. In your Final Project, be sure to address how this Island Nation will organize and govern itself. The government organized under the Constitution of Tagg must provide for the representation and government of all people residing on any of the islands within Tagg. About three months ago, the islands were visited for the first time by a geological survey ship blown off course by the winds of the Pacific. While at anchorage and while meeting the indigenous population (their language was similar although not as well evolved as other Pacific Islanders), some of the scientists on the ship conducted some preliminary surveys and found the beginnings of oil. The ship’s team convinced the island leader and the Council that it was a good thing to have an official team visit to check for oil deposits. A month later, the next ship arrived with a drill and discovered oil. That discovery brought a wave of folks to the island. The leader is very distraught about how to benefit from the discovery while not changing the wonderful aspects of their society. You were on the first boat as a guest of the captain. You are a graduate student in a Legal Studies program at Kaplan University. The leader and the Council got to know you and believe that you had a good heart. That was always the guiding principle of decisions of the leader and the Council and the village chiefs who made decisions. You decided to come back on the second boat because you were interested in seeing what happens and you have some concerns about the indigenous people of Tagg. Throughout this course, you will continue to interact with the people of Tagg and will work to develop a Statement of Rights for the citizens of Tagg. As you begin your work in this course, you should start thinking about which rights are most important. The Statement of rights will be your cumulative project for the course. Final Project: Statement of Individual Rights Your Final Project, the Statement of Individual Rights for the Island Nation of Tagg, is due at the end of this unit. The Final Project is to be organized into two parts and must be a comprehensive discussion of political philosophy and individual rights for the citizens of the Island Nation of Tagg. This final submission should incorporate and respond to comments received on the previously submitted draft. Part One: The Island Nation of Tagg has a very strong patriarchal tradition of "top-down" management. The Council of Elders and the Leader have been very prescriptive in determining the philosophy of the nation and what values it considers important. The Elders and the Leader nevertheless realize that, given Tagg's increasingly diverse population, patriarchal control will come to an end and a more pluralistic and democratic society will emerge. However, the Elders and the Leader are concerned about the influence of values from the outside with the arrival of outside people in connection with the discovery of oil. Given the material you have studied in the course and your own understanding, you need to provide an analysis and Statement of Individual Rights to guide the Island Nation in establishing its legal philosophy for the future. Write an introductory supporting analysis that discusses the legal and political philosophical principles that should be adhered to by the Nation of Tagg and its political establishment, which reflect a very open process where the values and legal thinking are set through popular determination. The analysis should cover some of the principles you have covered in class like the natural law, and legal positivism, and draw on some of the historical events you have discussed as well. Additionally, examine how one’s perspective toward multiculturalism and diversity impacts might impact the Island Nation of Tagg senario. Remember that the analysis needs to be consistent with the Statement of Individual Rights that you will have identified in the second part of the Final Project. Part Two: Revisit the Statement of Individual Rights you created in Unit 2. Consider revising your list based on what you have learned this term. You should include a minimum of five individual rights and no more than ten individual rights. Please make the rights specific. Consider various texts: (U.S. Constitution, EU Constitution, and FDR’s proposed rights.)You should clearly state each right, followed by at least two paragraphs that describe the right and the understanding you have attached to the right. The aim of the Final Project is designed to bring together the concepts of the historical and philosophical evolution of individual liberties and of justice. Your analytical section should include references to historical and philosophical material that you have read as to individual rights and liberties. The analysis (Part One) should be 3-5 pages in length. The length of the body of your Statement of Individual Rights (Part Two) will vary based on the number of rights you identify and the support you offer for each, but should probably be an additional 2-3 pages in length. The entire Final Project should be between 5-8 pages, if you identify a minimum of five individual rights.

grangetown Order Description The Community Gateway project is one of the five flagship engagement projects identified in the University's The Way Forward document. The project aims to pilot initiatives and interventions through community projects linked to existing research and teaching at X University. The initial pilot is set up in Grangetown, one of the most culturally diverse and largest electoral districts in Cardiff. Context: There are a number of diverse independent shops in Grangetown that have been in the area for years. Being so close to the City Centre, and with more and more chain stores being established, there is greater risk that these shops will not stand the test of time. In light of the Council’s recent regeneration of a key shopping junction in Grangetown, in which businesses are having their shop-fronts replenished, local resident, Steve Duffy, would like to develop an online and ‘in person’ Business Forum to encourage businesses to collaborate, cross-promote and showcase the best of Grangetown. Steve is a member of local Residents’ Association, Grangetown Community Action (GCA) which has a website with the potential to feature local businesses. This already has an online directory with a list of shops and businesses and some web links. GCA can also promote local business through their Twitter account and a Facebook page/group, which has been set up but currently has no-one actively running it. Steve hopes that once a Business Forum is developed, this could lead into a ‘Shop Local’ scheme. Together the Business Forum and Shop Local Campaign will aim to: * Promote the diversity and friendliness of Grangetown as a community * Make local business owners and the wider community aware that many shop owners live locally and therefore supporting local business is supporting your local community * Showcase the broad range of shops on offer in Grangetown to new shoppers * Encourage cross promotion between local businesses * Develop new forms of promotion through the GCA website and social media Assignment Brief Challenge: Step 1: Research successful, community-led Business Forums and ‘shop local’ brands and evidence some market research on what may appeal to shoppers. Step 2: Start designing a shop local brand strategy for Grangetown to highlight the benefits to businesses of getting engaged in the forum. Step 3: Propose a marketing strategy to encourage Grangetown businesses to take part in and sign up to the Shop Local Campaign. Step 4: Propose a strategy to market the Shop Local campaign to Cardiff Shoppers. Format: Innovative professional report Length: 2,000 Comments: A very wide range of sources is expected for this essay (such as news and magazine articles, market reports, journal articles as well as text books). STEP 1 Research successful, community-led Business Forums and shop local brands and evidence some market research on what may appeal to shoppers. • What are business forums? (examples; showcase poster once in a month, set up website for a specific town to know all the businesses around, business owners meet up once a year and help each other with difficulties or bring guest speaker.) • What is a shop local scheme? • Find examples of each to help explain how each one works. STEP 2 Start designing a shop local brand for Grangetown and develop a pitch which highlights the benefits of getting engaged in the forum. • Based on your research, what do you think would work in Grangetown and explain why? • What benefits could Grangetown get from implementing your ideas? STEP 3 Propose a strategy to encourage Grangetown businesses to take part in and sign up to the Shop Local Campaign. • How would you go about persuading Grangetown businesses to take part? • What marketing techniques would you use? • Could marketing metrics help? ( how will I measure the success on my statergy). STEP 4 Propose a strategy to market the Shop Local campaign to Cardiff Shoppers. • How would you persuade shoppers to take part in the shop local scheme? • What marketing techniques could you use here? • What will be your marketing strategy? Assignment Structure • Format: Innovative professional REPORT. - 3rd person – Contains images/logos – Written for managers – Not necessarily word document? • • Length: 2,000 words (+/- 10%) • • Citing and Referencing: Strictly Harvard throughout (no footnotes) • a very wide range of sources is expected for this essay (such as news and magazine articles, market reports, journal articles as well as text books) Assignment Format • • Introduction to the problems facing retail high streets, the Community Gateway and the specific Grangetown issues you are addressing. ( further information about community can be found here: Website: http://www.grangetowncardiff.co.uk/ http://www.grangetown.wales Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GrangetownCommunityAction) • • Market research on business forums and shop local schemes in general.
