The responsibility model : my contribution to the already glutted market of ideologies : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

The Responsibility Model is divided into two sections: a nominal and an operational definition. The nominal definition covers the history of selected political topics, and then elaborates on how the model would differ from the norm, as pertaining to those topics. Special attention is paid to Supreme Court decisions and the constitutionality of issues. The operational definition was further subdivided into two parts. The first part consisted of weekly research culminating in a newspaper column on political topics that can be related to and explained by the model. The second portion focused on replies and criticisms of readers, and the author's reactions to them. In the reactions political phenomenon are attempted to be explained, and three public policy models are presented to make determinations as to good policy.
