GOVT 2306

This past spring the Texas Legislature met for the 85th time since statehood. 

The last two months have been spent evaluating what it accomplished, along with what it didn’t. 

I want you to weigh in on this. Using your searching skills, I want you to gather information evaluating what it, and detail what it was able to accomplish – specifically whose interests were served – and what it left for the next session in 2019. 

This is largely an open ended assignment, with the one requirement that it be objective. I’m not interested in your personal opinions about it – you don’t learn anything from that. Rather, look at analysis offered by news sources, and others that seem worthwhile. I’ll bug you about this periodically this semester, so start looking for sources right away. 

The final product should be at least 1000 words long, documented by at least three sources, follow a standard writing convention such as MLA – or whatever you are comfortable with. It helps if it is written well.

Does immigration have negative effects on the United States Economy?

Does immigration have negative effects on the United States Economy? (MLA Format) Immigration has been the topic of discussion since the era of President Bush’s administration. Different groups of people have had their differing views on the topic and have led to a decade long debate. Politicians and media houses have been the main catalysts of highlighting the negativity of immigration while on the other hand, researchers and advocacy groups have shone the light on the merits of the same.

Or is it just a plot by the ill-intentioned politicians to phase out a chunk of the population that does not have voting rights? Or simply a plan by the media houses to churn out controversy in order to have more attention which translates to a better bottom line? Although at first impression it might seem that the illegal status of immigrants might cause a negative o...

Christian Controversies during 1st and 5th Century

During the 1st Century, Judaism was the predominant Gentile religion which the Christian restorationists proposed that it represented the purest church that should exist today. Nevertheless, major controversies dated back to the 2nd Century such as the Quartodeciman disagreement. The controversy involved the celebration of the Passover between the western churches and the Asia minor.   The Asia minor celebrated Easter on the 14th day of the month of Nisan, depending the day of the week it fell on. They argued the Passover fell on that day since according to the Apostles of John; it was Jesus crucifixion and the day before the Passover. Conversely, the Quartodeciman celebrated Easter on a Sunday after the 14th Jewish day of Nisan. The First Council of Nicaea proposed the celebration of Easter to be on Sunday. However, there is still disagreement about the appropriate date for Easter: the west adopted Gregorian Calender while the East-Julian Calender. (Bauckham 440). After Con...
