Use the results from the first two homework assignments, what you have learned in class and from reading the textbook for the course to answer the following questions. Did assigning a person to get an encouraging phone call to increase their probability of voting? Can we get an estimate of the causal effect of getting a call encouraging you to vote on your probability of voting with nonexperimental data by using regression to adjust for differences between people who got a call and those that didn’t (why or why not)? Be clear on what is going wrong.  Structure of Paper You can use the papers in the complementary reading list folder as a guide for what a paper should look like. Put your tables at the end of the paper in order of when they were referenced in the body. Your paper should be 10 pages long without counting tables and you may want to include the following sections: Abstract: One paragraph that sums the paper up. Write this first. Intro: One page that sums the paper up with more detail than the abstract. Should tell the reader why the questions the paper answers are important(Motivation) and cover data, econometric methods, results, and conclusion. Data: Describe the data you use in the analysis and how it was generated. You may need to do some research online. Methods: Describe the statistical methods used. Include the equations for the regressions you will run. Results: Describe and interpret your statistical findings. Conclusion: Interpret your findings. Remember: This paper is more about comparing and contrasting two methods of inference (RCT-random control trial vs. regression adjustment), not about evaluating whether receiving a phone-call encourages you to vote

1) On a piece of paper, make two columns. Label one column “boys” and the other column “girls.” 2) Watch the “Blue-Eyed/Brown-Eyed Experiment” which can be accessed at PBS.   This video clip is about 25 minutes long; you only need to watch the first 17 minutes for this assignment.   If you prefer, you can read the transcript of the video. Please be advised that there are racial slurs in this video. While offensive, the video still has merit. That said, if you find the video too offensive, you may contact me, no later than 24 hours in advance of the first post, and I will give you a different assignment for this activity. 3) While watching the first 17 minutes, mark the number of times Mrs. Elliott interacts with boys in the “boy” column and the number of times Mrs. Elliott interacts with girls in the “girl” column.  Count up the total number of interactions for boys and girls. 4) Include the following two things in your initial post:  First, how many times Mrs. Elliott interacted with boys and how many times Mrs. Elliott interacted with girls.  Second, tell me if this an example of a manifest or latent function and explain why. To do this, click on the little grey box at the bottom that says “Add a New Discussion Topic.” Print your title in the box that says “subject” and your comments in the box under “message.” When you are finished, click on the grey box that says “post to the forum.”

The article I have read deals with Austin’s city council voting to defund their police department by moving funds to other places rather than training and adding men and women to their police department. I have never been to Austin and have wanted to go until they did this. Safety should be #1 for anyone. Whether it is the city you live in or cities you visit no one should have to worry about becoming a victim because the city buckled to pressure to take much-needed funds from their police department rather than add more officers to the streets. There are bad cops as there is bad fireman, bad accountants, bad lawyers, teachers, etc, etc. Those individuals must be dealt with individuals such as those that are rioting and destroying property. Cities across America continue to grow. With that said, basic city services should grow to keep up with the growth. Some of those include police protection, fire protection, and trash pickup. Politics aside, whether you are democrat or republican, everyone should want to first live in a city that is safe and in the case of Houston somewhere that does not flood with low taxes and good school districts. Family is the most important things in the world to me and so is their safety. I completely disagree with this vote and am surprised that the city of Houston has not done the same. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/08/24/austin-police-texas-republicans/

Read Chapter 6 and Chapter 8? – Answer at least two of the following questions: (Minimum total of 300 words) 1. According to Sternheimer, in what ways has sex been a controversial issue in American popular culture for nearly 100 years? When did politicians first begin calling for government censorship of Hollywood, and for what reasons, including those having nothing to do with sex? Do you believe that Hollywood films still represent sexuality in distorted ways, especially when compared to films from other countries? How so? 2. Discuss the recent controversy over teen “sexting.” What are some of the key underlying fears, and what actual evidence supports or undermines these concerns? How does present teen sexual activity compare to decades past, and what demographic patterns seem to exist? 3. What arguments are presented linking popular culture to obesity, particularly advertising and television, and why does Sternheimer find these connections more complicated than they appear? What other socioeconomic factors may play a greater role? 4. What are some of the possible links between the fashion industry and eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia? What other factors does the author propose as greater indicators in girls’ lives? In your own experience, to what degree do you believe media and popular culture influence our perceptions of our bodies and beauty as a whole? Do you think that advertisers and the fashion industry bear a responsibility to promote a greater diversity of each?
