Increasingly prevalent is the notion that America is in the grips of what some despairing analysts (and gleeful news anchors) have labeled a “Culture War”- the ultimate expression of our increasingly polarized political life, in which the two competing viewpoints stay in their own yards, only seeking out media sources that validate their existing ideals, and lobbing attacks across the fence at the enemy camp.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Tingley, Megan Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-10-13 Description An account of the resource ince its beginnings in 1971, the war on drugs has been largely unsuccessful in reducing drug use. Instead, it has had many unintended consequences, one of which is a huge increase in the federal prison population over the past 40 years. Despite making up only five percent of the world population, the U.S. is home to 25 percent of its prisoners. Since the 1970s, the prison population in the U.S. has skyrocketed due to the implementation of War on Drugs policies. The main reason for the failure of the War on Drugs can be attributed in part to mandatory minimum sentencing laws. Implemented as a part of the Anti- Drug Abuse Act of 1986, these one-size-fits-all policies require a certain punishment based on the amount and type of drug in possession without allowing for flexibility based on context.  Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource application/pdf Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context https://ppr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ppr/article/view/44 10.5195/ppr.2014.44 Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available University Library System, University of Pittsburgh Relation A related resource https://ppr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ppr/article/view/44/40 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright (c) 2017 Megan Tingley https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Pitt Political Review; Vol 11, No 1 (2014); 28-32 2160-5807 Title A name given to the resource Land of the Free: Prison Reform Following the War on Drugs Type The nature or genre of the resource info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lieberman, Alyssa Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-10-13 Description An account of the resource Finding a place for objective science within the realm of American politics has become increasingly difficult because the effective use of rhetoric can often obscure facts. Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of pushing scientific recommendations to the wayside when it suits their political needs. But, to fulfill their obligation to protect the American people and further American progress, politicians must stop interpreting hard scientific facts as it suits their political needs. They must begin to thoughtfully translate scientific data into legislation and policies so that pertinent topics can be addressed and the true needs of the American people can be met. The honest evaluation of this data is a formidable and seemingly unrealistic goal but, if nothing else, a moral standard must be enforced for publicly elected officials to serve in the best interest of the American people.  Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource application/pdf Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context https://ppr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ppr/article/view/60 10.5195/ppr.2015.60 Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available University Library System, University of Pittsburgh Relation A related resource https://ppr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ppr/article/view/60/56 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright (c) 2017 Alyssa Lieberman https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Pitt Political Review; Vol 11, No 2 (2015); 45-50 2160-5807 Title A name given to the resource Unscientific Methods: Reinvigorating Objectivity in Politics Type The nature or genre of the resource info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Moret, Matthew Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-10-13 Description An account of the resource The U.S.’s stance towards Cuba has historically used rhetoric about the lack of civil liberties, dictatorship, and security to defend the embargo put in place during the 1960s. Politicians of the era viewed communism in Cuba as an immediate threat that had to be snuffed out before it could infect the entire hemisphere. Their hope was that by isolating the island, Cuba’s citizens would be compelled to fight for reform and institute their own democracy. That approach, however, has backfired entirely. Neither government is innocent — Cuba’s human rights record remains as poor as ever and the U.S. has almost singlehandedly destroyed the country’s economy and health system. Though guilt is shared, the U.S. alone controls the relationship’s future. Reforms are in their infancy, but in light of the turbulent past, there has been progress.  Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource application/pdf Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context https://ppr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ppr/article/view/55 10.5195/ppr.2015.55 Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available University Library System, University of Pittsburgh Relation A related resource https://ppr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ppr/article/view/55/51 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright (c) 2017 Matthew Moret https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Pitt Political Review; Vol 11, No 2 (2015); 10-19 2160-5807 Title A name given to the resource Isle of Misfit Ploys: The Cuban Embargo Type The nature or genre of the resource info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2012-04-06 Description An account of the resource The 2012 primary season has been one of the most volatile in recent memory, with the Republican Party struggling to settle on a candidate. The campaign has also vaulted some previously obscure politicians to national prominence, only to relegate them again to obscurity. Ron Paul has demonstrated perhaps the most dramatic transformation, from a lone voice who was once largely ignored to one of the last four candidates for the nomination, who has performed quite creditably in several primaries. In this article, I examine how much influence Paul is going to have in the short term, up to and including the Republican National Convention. I also examine how lasting his influence will be over the long term, and whether or not he will mount a third-party bid in 2012.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Helgerman, Thomas Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-10-13 Description An account of the resource Over the last five years, the field of economics has undergone a reconsideration of its role in society. With the exception of a select few (Rajan, 2005), most economists were blindsided by the housing crash in 2007 and subsequent financial meltdown. This has prompted both a rethinking of econoimc thought on the institutional and legislative curriculum, and the undergraduate economics curriculum, which has been led by Wendy Carlin at University College London and Diane Coyle of Enlightenment Economics. Additionally, students have begun to take important roles in the debate. In April, the student-run Post-Crash Economics Society (PCES) at the University of Manchester published a report titled Economics, Education and Unlearning, which provided a critique of economics education in the UK and at Manchester in particular. However, as the report points out, “the problems ... are certainly not limited to Manchester and are in fact international in scale”. While the report has its commendable strides, it falls short on two crucial aspects: the suggestion that economics cannot be a scientific discipline and the driving recommendation of the report for a move towards “pluralism” in the discipline. This essay will focus on these two issues and argue that they are fundamentally misguided.  Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource application/pdf Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context https://ppr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ppr/article/view/50 10.5195/ppr.2014.50 Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available University Library System, University of Pittsburgh Relation A related resource https://ppr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ppr/article/view/50/46 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright (c) 2017 Thomas Helgerman https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Pitt Political Review; Vol 11, No 1 (2014); 62-67 2160-5807 Title A name given to the resource Rethinking Economics Type The nature or genre of the resource info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Pavlecic, Jacob Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-10-24 Description An account of the resource According to to Yuengling: the History of America’s Oldest Brewery, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) was designed to, in the words of then-Governor Gifford Pinchot, make liquor sales “as inconvenient and expensive as possible.” The PLCB is the state agency with sole control over the distribution and sale of alcohol in Pennsylvania. State House Republicans agree with Gov. Pinchot and have been arguing that it is time to privatize the PLCB. They charge that the agency is “archaic” and losing money. Supporters of the PLCB argue that privatization would result in higher prices for consumers and the loss of well-paying Pennsylvania jobs. While the PLCB does have some inherent features making it harder to buy alcohol, the best option for the citizens of Pennsylvania is a modernized PLCB.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Thakar, Justin Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-10-13 Description An account of the resource We live in an age where stories of war, disease, hatred and celebrity wardrobe decisions spread at the speed of light. Some activists see waste and ignorance that needs to be toppled — others among us see an opportunity to widely disseminate a story that also speaks to people’s fears, indignance and boredom, but swiftly moves them to an inspiring new vision of what is possible for them to create here and now. It appears we have the raw materials for such a thing: The task of turning cynicism and apathy around has, in fact, a grounding in recent Ivy-League, Nobel Prize-winning psychological research. Tesla Motors' slick electric cars make headlines and high stock prices, with promises of bigger industrial feats to come. Better Block’s citizen activist- entrepreneurs, though without explicitly environmental aims, take over and renovate abandoned lots and storefronts with a joyful and reckless glee that's already gone viral. The idea that one could wrap these names, and the stories they represent, into a bigger and more powerful narrative — a story that reframes environmentalism as a sane, responsible, happy, energetic, and even profitable endeavor that inspires even the most apathetic to act — is less unthinkable.  Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource application/pdf Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context https://ppr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ppr/article/view/45 10.5195/ppr.2014.45 Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available University Library System, University of Pittsburgh Relation A related resource https://ppr.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/ppr/article/view/45/41 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright (c) 2017 Justin Thakar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Pitt Political Review; Vol 11, No 1 (2014); 33-40 2160-5807 Title A name given to the resource Environmentalism: Now With More Empathy for Conservatives Type The nature or genre of the resource info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
