Section 4: Case Studies for the Advocate-Decision Making Activity Section 4 is based around an advocate/decision-making activity, or "controlled debate." Instructions and worksheets are included, along with a series of case studies designed to be used in this activity. Each case study includes two pages of essential reading, along with supplemental materials that can be used, if time allows, or can be assigned as homework. We have made a conscious effort to use as many primary document sources as possible in order to help build critical reading and interpretation skills. The worksheets for Section 4 are included with each case study. Case Study: Should Russia continue to allow migration from the post-Soviet "successor states," regardless of the migrants' ethnicities? The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is a loose confederation of 12 former Soviet countries or "successor states," including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. When the Soviet Union dissolved in 1992, more than 25 million ethnic Russians living in the non-Russian republics suddenly found themselves part of a large diaspora community. Over the following years, both ethnic Russians and non-Russians migrated to Russia, for a variety of reasons, causing various problems in post-Soviet Russia.

This paper aims to provide a brief overview and review of the research conducted by Onovughe (2012) under the title Sociolinguistic Input and English as Second Language Classrooms published by the Canadian Center for Science and Education. This article also intended to provide a brief review of the sociolinguistic influences of the use of the second most significant language in the class. Using qualitative descriptive analysis, this study managed to see that OGO's research used survey within a population of all middle school students in the Akure Ondo Regional Government, Nigeria (n = 240 students). Of the five existing hypotheses, the findings revealed that parents' occupation is a significant sociolinguistic influence on the use of English among middle school students, followed by gender, age, religion, and classes. This current paper evaluated how Onovughe's research is represented in his article. Results reveal the strengeths, weaknesses, and the flaws of the article.

Flood prevention, food safety, the transport of hazardous substances, infectious diseases, the risk of new technologies and many other threats to public health and the environment call for ongoing public alertness. However, the ways in which these safety risks are currently assessed and managed fall short in addressing the uncertainties of future threats. The Scientific Council for Government Policy, the official think-tank for the Dutch government, argues that in order to ensure future-proof safety policies, a new paradigm should be adopted. This paradigm is based on the precautionary principle, i.e. the notion that the vulnerability of humans, society and the natural environment requires a proactive approach to uncertainties. In this report, the Council suggests ways to embody this principle in both private and public law and in various institutional arrangements

Around the world, there are increasing concerns about the accuracy of media coverage. It is vital in representative democracies that citizens have access to reliable information about what is happening in government policy, so that they can form meaningful preferences and hold politicians accountable. Yet much research and conventional wisdom questions whether the necessary information is available, consumed, and understood. This study is the first large-scale empirical investigation into the frequency and reliability of media coverage in five policy domains, and it provides tools that can be exported to other areas, in the US and elsewhere. Examining decades of government spending, media coverage, and public opinion in the US, this book assesses the accuracy of media coverage, and measures its direct impact on citizens' preferences for policy. This innovative study has far-reaching implications for those studying and teaching politics as well as for reporters and citizens.

The middle class is generally regarded as the most pro-democratic social stratum in society. Most countries with a history of successful democratisation have in general also reported a significant enlargement of the middle class. It is, consequently, argued that increases in the middle class may affect democratisation positively. Employing survey data from 1994 and 2000 this article attempts to identify and describe the South African middle class from 1994 onwards and also to describe the link between this social grouping and democratisation. The analysis indicated that the middle class has increased during the nineties and that the African population is being bisected into a middle-high and a lower class. (Politeia/DÜI)

This study uses spatial modeling to determine the potential location of a rubber processing factory in East Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU), South Sumatra, Indonesia. This descriptive study used the map overlay method. Besides, this study also used six parameters, namely number of population, rubber plantation area, land slope, land suitability, river flow availability, and road network availability. Those six parameters were overlaid and scored to generate a map of the potential location for the rubber processing factory in East OKU, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Our analysis results suggest that the most potential location was 27.412 ha (9 percent), while the area with medium and low potential was 267.952 ha (86 percent) and 15.155 ha (5 percent), respectively. Generally, the pattern of the most potential area followed the road network pattern and river network in East OKU because both road and river facilitate the provision of water resources, as well as distribution of raw materials and produced products. These results can be used as a reference for the government of East OKU Regency in constructing the factory. Besides, this study can also be used as a Geography learning material in the course of map and mapping, as well as Geography Information System.

Tourism policy attempts to provide certainty to tourists and the community related to tourism development, so as to maximize the benefits of tourism to stakeholders and minimize the negative effects, costs, and other related impacts.This research was conducted with the aim of examining marine tourism community development for sustainable growth in East Java Province, Indonesia. It is qualitative research utilizing semi-structured interviews, nonparticipant observation and document analysis. In particular, this study adopts data analysis techniques in the form of an interactive model in which each stage of the research was adjusted as a result of the outcome from the previous stage. This research shows that the sustainable tourism development in East Java Province is a policy in development that has economic, socio-cultural, and environmental dimensions with a foundation of justice not only for the current generation but also for future generations.
