Chapter 2 Legislative Advocacy: Fill & Download for Free

Note: Last edited on 9 Jan. 2020.I dedicate this answer to my parents, wife, and current dispatch company.ContentsIntroductionChapter 1-These answers and videos show the struggle.Chapter 2-These answers are about teaching active learning and/or critical thinking to the Japanese.Chapter 3-Answers for organizing my thoughts.Chapter 4-How do I learn actively in a passive environment?ConclusionBibliographyIntroductionI can only speak for myself. Unless one has a spouse visa or permanent residency (as I do), frequently changing jobs isn’t an option. This answer applies to a very, very small population of non-Japanese in Japan. On the other hand, my message, which I’ve been using Quora to spread is this. . . A non-Japanese can be an advocate for a just cause that benefits the Japanese.●　For myself, the ability to change jobs every couple of years and still make a living is advantageous as an advocate. I’ve been advocating for the introduction of active learning in English classes after writing a paper in grad school about teaching it to the Japanese. Since graduating in 2014, I’ve worked as a corporate English teacher, high school English teacher, assistant language teacher (ALT) in an elementary and jr. high school, and at-home English teacher where I’ve been sharing my knowledge of active learning in discussions, lectures, lessons, workshop development, parties; in other words, advocacy is a 24/7 activity. I see advocating as my life destiny. One other thing. I would’ve never been able to write an answer like this by staying in the same job.●　But then, changing jobs frequently much less living in Japan isn’t for everyone as explained in Chapter 1.Chapter 1-These answers and videos show the struggle.Chuck Reindle's answer to What are some mistakes made by Japanese companies when hiring foreigners?●　As for the next answer, this was reported for not following Quora’s “Be nice, be respectful” policy and was deleted temporarily. I appealed and got it reinstated.Chuck Reindle's answer to What tips has your Japanese wife or husband given you in order to understand the Japanese?Chuck Reindle's answer to What hacks do you use for making yourself feel like you’re a part of the Japanese community?●　Here’s a YouTube video. Needless to say, one must find another part-time job to supplement their income. Even today, I’ve always been sure to have 2–3 sources of income. I wouldn’t depend on the union although the video provides good info. Lots of good paying part-time jobs for English speakers. Besides Japan has become a part-time job nation due to the economic ice-age of the last 3 decades.Here’s my answer about part-time job nation and Ice Age economic decades.Chuck Reindle's answer to Is changing a job considered bad in Japan?● Staying at one job for a long time and then suddenly getting fired may lead to the inability to find another job. So I am grateful to all of the Japanese companies who have fired me thus forcing me to resort to American-style critical thinking skills. In particular, the “Economic Ice Age” and decreasing population are severely limiting the available jobs for not only Japanese but non-foreigners.Hidesato Sakakibara's answer to What’s the biggest mistake of long-term expatriates working in universities in Japan?●　The discovery of my passion helps tremendously in overcoming these struggles. And my passion is teaching active learning/critical thinking to the Japanese as explained in Chapter 2.Chapter 2-These answers are about teaching active learning and/or critical thinking to the Japanese.Chuck Reindle's answer to Do you teach critical thinking to Japanese? If yes, what interesting phenomenon have you become aware of?●　Here’s one of my YouTube videos.●　And another one. 260 views with eight “Dislikes” as of 5 January 2020. Zero “Likes”. Although 2016 was only three years ago, a lot of public legislation in the field of psychology has been passed.●　At this point, I want to use Chapter 3 to organize my thoughts.Chapter 3-Answers for organizing my thoughts.Chuck Reindle's answer to As a specialist in analyzing U.S. and Japanese psychological behavior, what phenomenon have you become aware of with the American population?● I need to find someplace to put the following because I see myself using a lot of the stuff he’s talking about.●　The following article from Asian Review is relevant.Young Japanese must prepare for an end to jobs for life●. I’m devoting one chapter to rganizing my thoughts as an example of engaging using active learning in a culture based on passive learning as explained in Chapter 4.Chapter 4-How do I learn actively in a passive environment?●　Malpass, O'Neil, & Hocevar. (1999) posit that one must develop an implicit learning goal then put all effort into meta-cognitive skills in order to reach it. This strategy prevents loneliness even in a passive environment as explained in the following YouTube video.① The following YouTube video could be titled, “Why I’m not afraid to be lonely in Japan”. Fulfilling one’s personal life destiny is a solitary endeavor. I see advocating as my life destiny.② If there’s anything I fear, it’s becoming a hollow shell of my true self.Chuck Reindle's answer to What do you fear of becoming in Japan?③ My true self is helping the weak in particular those who are discriminated against. But it’s not so straightforward with the Japanese because Tanabe (2002) posits that the Japanese ingroup/outgroup linguistic bias develops negative stereotypes of outsiders which non-Japanese mistake as discrimination.Chuck Reindle's answer to What’s the best way to talk about discrimination to the Japanese?ConclusionLittle did I realize how much effort I’d put into this answer. And I’m the one who asked it. Also, I found a need to start citing research studies.I’ve been on Quora for a couple of years and have a pretty good grasp of the rules. But as recent as December 2019 I got reported for not following the “Be nice, be respectful” rule. Here’s the answer that was reported.Chuck Reindle's answer to What tips has your Japanese wife or husband given you in order to understand the Japanese?I appealed and not surprisingly got reinstated. Nevertheless, that broke the camel’s back. It’s mind boggling that I still can’t get the point across that I am a specialist in the Japanese mindset. What do I need to do to convince these skeptics? Well, this is what I’ve decided to do. I do feel like I’m pushing the envelope, but this will be my first time to cite the research. Look at it this way. Without research, an answer is just an opinion. However, hearing so many scientific Psychology facts at one time may be overwhelming to some.So I woke up this morning and thought of this question. “What would you do if overnight you suddenly became fluent in reading and speaking Japanese?”My answer would be learning to love my job as a part-time worker. Also, I would write everything in Japanese.Once again, I woke up the following morning and thought of this question. “Why do I work for so many young non-Japanese married people on the HR staff?” Quite obviously it’s related to one’s visa. On this very same day, I thought of the following while doing my daily nine kilometer inspirational walk in the rain.At the very beginning of this answer I mentioned that I can only speak for myself because I have permanent residency which the majority of non-Japanese do not have. So I want to provide another viewpoint that will provide helpful information to those of you without permanent residency. The following video touches upon that.In conclusion, I love my job as a part-time worker in Japan. Finally, I have deep appreciation to all the companies who have fired me. I am not condemning or trying to be sarcastic about Japanese companies. Instead, I see it as my mission to save people regardless of nationality who will be finding themselves without a job. Last but not the least, I am appreciative to the Quora administrators who have supported me over the past several years in my effort to spread my message to all people living in Japan and Quorans around the world.BibliographyTanabe, Y., Oka, T.

My optional subject is Public Administration.I have written four mains with Public Administration as an optional. I got 228 marks in 2015, 297 in 2016, 290 in 2017 and 307 in 2018. Public Administration has always been special to me and this is one subject which never ditched me in Mains exam.My journey with public administration began in the end years of college when I got Laxmikanth public administration book. Over the years I read a number of books, many research papers and have really grown fond of this subject.One thing I would like to state in advance is that I have done very little answer writing as far as optional paper is considered. But I have focused more on approach and analysis, linkage and relevance. I will share all these experiences in this write up and hope that you will benefit from it somehow.To start with, I learnt much of my pub ad from a thread run by @doodlbean maa’m on ForumIAS. I scanned through all 260+ pages on that thread and observed, read, ingrained the right approach towards public administration.In the next few years I built on this foundation, going into details by reading from various sources.Based on my personal journey I would recommend following approach. Aspirants should see if it suits their studying style, time availability and interests. This is only indicative in nature. There is absolutely no need to read some of the books I mentioned if you don’t have time.The essential books: The must read booksAribam-Paper 1 & Paper-2 (One should start with these two books)Administrative Thinkers: Prasad & Prasad (This can go parallel with Aribam if you are new to the subject, otherwise P&P can always be referred to for more in-depth understanding of a thinker)Mohit Bhattacharya: New Horizons of Public Administration (The language of this book is tough, so it should be read after Aribam. 2nd or 3rd reading of the book gives some good conceptual clarity)Shubhra Saxena: Public Administration Super 50 (25-25 topics from Paper 1 & Paper 2 have been dealt in a nice manner, more of a revision and content enrichment book, will help in marks augmentation. This used to be my go to book during the interval between paper 1 and paper 2 on the optional exam day)Vikram Singh: Public Administration Dictionary (Some of the complex concepts have been explained beautifully and a simple manner, quite effective for using them in your answers)Frederickson, Smith & Others: The Public Administration Theory Primer [Some selected chapters of Primer can be done like Postmodern theory (ch 6), Governance (ch 9), future of pub ad (ch 10) etc]Website: https://publicadministrationtheone.blogspot.com(The website is a rich source of various pub ad concepts and is also helpful in quick revision of an entire topic in a 360 degree manner)The non-essential books: Recommended, but they are not necessarily must-read books.Mohit Bhattacharya: Restructuring Public Administration: A New Look (should be read after New horizons, deals with NPM and Post NPM development; concepts like Neo-weberian state (NWS) has been explained beautifully.Mohit Bhattacharya: Social Theory and Development administrationRamesh K. Arora: Comparative Public AdministrationHidden Syllabus :This is what we often hear in pub ad circle that there is a hidden syllabus. Irrespective of whether it is there or not, following things/names need to be studied, mainly through internet or other books.Following should be looked into :·Public Administration in other countries - the French and American version, Thatcherism and Reaganism and how New Zealand successfully adopted concepts of Thatcher·Minnowbrook 3 and latest advances in the field of Public Administration (You can refer to public administration review (PAR) website)·Thinkers like Marx and his views on Bureaucracy, Hegel, Hayek, Nozick, Friedman, Talcott parsons, Aaron Wildavsky and Budgeting, Waldo,Warren Bennis, Foucalt and his Governmentality concept, Edward Weidner and his contribution to Development Administration, Gunnar Myrdal, Sabatier’s Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), Harrold Lasswell and his idea on Policy Science, Estonian Black Box of Policy Making·Gender and Administration, Gender in Administration and Gender and Budgeting etc. (Very well covered in Mohit Bhattacharya: Social Theory and Development administration)·Ferrel heady and his contribution to Comparative Public Administration·Concepts like Neo Classical Theorists, Neo Marxism, Post Structuralism, Post Modernism, Pareto Optimality, Critical Theory, Habermas, Contingency vs Strategic Contingency , Neo Taylorism and Gramsci’s criticism of Taylor, Taylorism and recent best practices like Toyota Production System, Kaizen, Gemba etc, Phenomenological approach: Heidegger And Husserl work. asked in 2018 mains)·Amartya Sen & Jean Dreaze vs Bhagwati Sen Debate·Techniques of Administrative improvement - CPM, PERT and how to draw the charts, Gantt Chart, Enterprise Resource Management, SAP, Management Information SystemRoad to good score:1.Use simple language which doesn’t require an examiner to read a particular sentence twice. Simplicity is the function of your understanding and conceptual clarity. Build upon it.2.Introduction should be sharp and focused. Don’t beat around the bush. Also, for 10 marker try to come to the main body in the very next paragraph as time and space is limited. In 15/20 markers, one can elaborate the same point in little bit more details compared to a 10 marker.3.It often happens that we approach question tangentially, meaning that we use the concepts but somehow it is not answering what has been asked. So using the keywords of a question in your answer would help in ensuring that diversion doesn’t happen in the answer.4.For paper 1, contemporary examples, especially from Indian Administration will surely boost your marks. Hence keep an eye on happenings in Indian administration and link it with Paper 1 thinkers and theories. Example: Use of MIS in district administration is an example of New Public management (NPM), Social audit is a tool to take feedback from environment (People, civil society) and make administration more transparent (moving from a closed system to an open system) etc. Similar linkages can be thought of.5.For paper 2, try to link with paper 1 concepts and thinkers as far as possible. For example for 2016 Pub ad paper-2: defense ministry/home ministry question..Likert’s linking pin mechanism can be used to improve policy making process in India, officials from two overlapping ministry can work jointly on a policy like border management in remote areas (defense ministry and home ministry).6.Use of constitutional articles: If there is a question on governor, the starting line can be : Article 153 states that there shall be a governor for each state. Similarly, article 163 for Council of minister, article 169 for state legislative council, article 279A for GST council etc should be used.7.Use of 2nd ARC recommendations, Punchhi commission recommendations, Sarkaria commission recommendations would augment marks. Aribam covers selected chapters of 2nd ARC in the end of both books. Those must be done thoroughly. Also, it is recommended that you read original chapters and make some concrete notes. This will improve your understanding.8.Use Flow charts and Diagrams wherever possible. They will help you to present your answer in a better way and you can save lots of time. For example, Barnard’s contribution-satisfaction equilibrium can be shown using a balance (remember that justice lady using that tarajoo..balance). Write Contribution on one end and satisfaction on another end. Similarly, PRIs and Social Audit can be linked with Sherry Arnstein’s participation ladder. Draw a ladder and show how true empowerment happens through participation.9.Try to quote one example as far as possible for all answers. This will mean you need to have a collection of examples. Keep an eye on best practices (Some best practices which I had collected are 1.Vadodara's One day governance model(ODG) 2.Gujarat CM's citizen access approach: SWAGAT Project 3.UP's grievance redressal project: Lokvani Project 4.Nagaland's community Involvement in Elementary education, health services and electricity management: Communitisation Program 5.Some e-governance programms: E-Mitra-Rajasthan, HARIS-Harayana, SARITA-Maharashtra,FRIENDS-Kerala,GYANDOOT-MP,BHOOMI-Karantaka 6.Bhagidari : Citizens participation in Governance, Delhi 7.Trichi Community Policing model, 8.PRAHARI: Community Policing Initiative in Assam ). Keep collecting similar examples and also work on their linkages: (Compassionate Kozikhode project..Can you link it with Perry’s Public service motivation model (PSM)?)10.Have a good peer group and discuss about topics and questions regularly. Confluence of various ideas will do magic on your answer. This can be done either on ForumIAS (now quest platform) or on telegram. Also, you can form a very close group of 3-4 friends apart from these platform and discuss everything with them. I have benefitted immensely from these associations and I am highly thankful to all my friends for their help and co-operation.11.Though I didn’t do much answer writing practice for optional I highly recommend that you do practice answer writing on a frequent basis. It is also good to join any test series so that someone would correct your presentation. Additionally you should go through the toppers copy, try the questions first and learn from their approach. If there is a good diagram, you can practice and internalize it. Keep collecting such flowcharts and diagrams. This is called cumulative learning from community (to use the pub ad terminology: network learning )My marksheet

Hello!I know this one for you…Unsurprisingly, Trump’s way off, again! Republicans have concocted a message of their own that they repeat endlessly: Do-nothing congressional Democrats have failed to work across the aisle or to generate any useful legislation since Trump arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.This flat-out fabrication is no surprise coming from the man of 15,000 lies and his evil, Republican toadies. And, as disinformation specialists know so well, repeat a lie often enough and a certain portion of the populace will believe it’s true. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and that obviously can be enough to achieve whatever scheme you have in mind. Saying Democrats have not done anything can act like an ad jingle, permanently engraving BS on the brain of fooled people.But as always, I’ll provide you the facts and figures. Below is a linked list of bills the House had passed as of Dec. 5, 283 of which Democrats call “bipartisan.” To get that label, a bill only requires a single vote from across the aisle, and a few of these bills only received one. But some received overwhelming Republican support in the House. This makes no difference to McConnell.Of the 383 bills that have been passed by the House, 82% are still bottled up in the Senate. This list does not include House resolutions. If you click here, you can see bills and resolutions that have passed the House and the Senate and become law, bills that have passed the House and the Senate and are awaiting action by the White House, and bills that have passed the House and are awaiting action in the Senate.LIST OF BILLS PASSED BY THE HOUSE AND AWAITING ACTION IN THE SENATESource: Search Bills in CongressExamples of Bipartisan House Bills Stalled in the Senate Include:H.R.5, Equality ActH.R.6, The American Dream and Promise ActH.R.7, Paycheck Fairness ActH.R.8, Bipartisan Background Checks ActH.R.9, Climate Action Now ActH.R.987, Protecting People With Pre-Existing Conditions/Lowering Drug CostsH.R.582, Raise The Wage ActH.R.397, Rehabilitation For Multiemployer Pensions Act (The Butch Lewis Act)H.R.1585, Violence Against Women Reauthorization ActH.R.1644, Save The Internet ActH.R 2722, Securing America’s Federal Elections (SAFE) ActH.R.2513, The Corporate Transparency ActH.R.1112, Enhanced Background ChecksH.R.1994, Secure Act/Gold Star Family Tax Relief ActH.R.205, 1146, 1941 – Banning Offshore Drilling on Atlantic, Pacific, Eastern Gulf & ANWR CoastsH.R.1423, Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal (FAIR) ActMore than 30 bills to support veteransOther Examples of Bills Stalled in the Senate that Democrats Support:H.R.1, For The People ActH.R.4617, Stopping Harmful Interference in Elections for a Lasting Democracy (SHIELD) ActH.R.1500, Consumers First ActThe first 283 are “bipartisan.” The final 32 were supported by Democrats only.H.R. 648: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (10 Republican Votes)H.R. 21: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (7 Republican Votes)H.R. 2440: Full Utilization of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund Act (79 Republican votes)H.R. 693: U.S. Senator Joseph D.
