Presentation feedback questions

Provide anwers to this feed back questions from the provided presentation attached to the file.

Note that if you find the answers are quite convincing in shoter words no issues you dont have to stick to 550 words

1.As you have highlighted, South Africa seems to have appropriate legislation in place to combat modern slavery, including provisions in the Constitution. However, and almost unsurprisingly, enforcement seems to be the problem. Are there any significant barriers to ensuring adequate enforcement?

Also, is South Africa a part of any regional organisations? If so, maybe this can be a good way to foster collaborative responses to addressing modern slavery in the region. Just a thought :

2.You mentioned political leverage in your presentation, is government corruption one of the challenges facing South Africa in its work against modern slavery?

See good legislation but a gap between what the law is and how it’s carried out. What’s the labour union situation like there, and is there a framework for effective labour inspection?

Lastly, have there been any sort of consequences or sanctions against South Africa by international institutions or other governments? Considering they’re an emerging power (for lack of better term) they might prove susceptible to international pressure.

How does the history of a state’s formation impact its character?

How does the history of a state’s formation impact its character?

Define the state characteristics that you think deserves to be the focus of your paper. A state character can potentially be its regime type, sovereignty, territoriality, governance institutions, economic structure, security structure, its relationship with the population, etc.

As such, we leave it up to you to define which characteristic you wish to focus on in answering how the history of state formation impacts that characteristic or characteristics you chose. Our recommendation is that you should spend a little time in your assignment justifying why the character you chose is an important/defining feature of the state, before you delve into a substantive discussion on the impact of history on it. Due to the length of this assignment, we further recommend that you focus on one or two characteristics and draw from various examples and cases that support your overall argument.

What do you know about them? How would you rate their candidacies in terms of ability and communication?  What does the knowledge of voter behavior in your district mean for their chances?

What was the resulting impact of the ruling?How did the citizens of your state benefit from it?Was this a good decision?

How the Court Address or Respect Our Right as Citizens

Choose a case from your state(FLORIDA) that involves civil rights or civil liberties that was decided by the United States Supreme Court. If your (Florida) state does not have a case that was decided by the United States Supreme Court, choose a civil rights case from another state for which the United States Supreme Court issued a decision.

Here is a brief description of civil rights and civil liberties: Civil rights refers to equal social opportunities under the law. It gives you these freedoms such as the right to vote, the right to public education, or a fair trial, among other things, regardless of your wealth or race. Civil liberties mean freedom of religion, equal treatment and due process under the law, and the right to privacy.

You should be able to go online and look up your state and famous cases decided by the Supreme Court. For example, Brown v Board of Education (1951) started in Topeka, Kansas and ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States. Another example would be Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v Steve Sisolak, Governor of Nevada (2020) that started in Nevada and ended up the United States Supreme Court. A good source of information about cases decided by the United States Supreme Court is www.scotusblog.com. Other sources can be researched online using search terms for “civil rights cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.” Be sure to use a case actually decided by the United States Supreme Court, and not a case decided by your state’s supreme court or a different court. A case that is still pending before the United States Supreme Court should not be used. If you are unsure, please contact your Professor BEFORE you pick your case and submit the assignment as this is a significant part of your overall grade.

Research your court case and write an outline of the case that you will be using to prepare a presentation, which will either be a narrated PowerPoint, a Kaltura Video, or some other format as approved by your instructor. If you are unsure, then verify the presentation format with your instructor before starting work on this assignment.

This week’s assignment should include: summary of the case; and a case outline; and a summary.

Summary of the Case

In one or two paragraphs, provide a general overview of the case that serves as a snapshot of what the case is about and how it ended up in your state high court. A summary is using your words to write a brief history of the case. Do not give your opinion or your interpretation but stick to the facts only.

Case Outline

Your court case outline should include:

Title: Name of the case

Facts of the case: Provide key facts involving the case.

History of the case: What legal action was taken based on what your state laws say about this case?

Legal questions: What were the legal issues the court had to decide?

Decision or holdings: Did the court decide for the plaintiff or the defendant? Explain the reason behind the decision?

Conclusion

Writing Requirements (APA format)
The length of your outline will vary. Usually an outline is anywhere from 1-3 pages long. Make sure to write full sentences to explain your case. It is a concise list to be used as a reference for you during the presentation.

Using the outline, you will be describing the court case in your presentation and the scenario around the court case. The use of Wikipedia as a primary source of information is to be avoided – it is not a reliable source of information.
Search for an example of a case outline in the Internet. Without going into much detail at this state, each of the items listed above has a subject sentence with 3-6 bullet points that can help you expand on the topic.

For Week 7, you will be creating a narrated PowerPoint, or a video as approved by your instructor, from this week’s outline.
