With a strong foundation, babies move easily through more and more complex learning stages. And “although it’s never too late to learn new skills since the brain never stops developing, it’s just harder and less effective to build on a weak foundation than it is to get development right the first time”. This speaks to the growing trend and continuation of a national and international effort to restructure our orphanages and homes to better suit the proper developmental needs of children. In conjunction with these changes, the United States government has also increased its focus on improving early childhood education and interactions for those in communities usually bereft of these opportunities. One such program, Head Start, was created in 1965 to prepare low-income students for elementary school. It has evolved and changed over the last five decades and now faces a key juncture that will determine its future.  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/61 10.5195/ppr.2015.61 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/61/57 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright (c) 2017 Sai Polineni 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); 51-56 2160-5807 Title A name given to the resource Vouching for a Head Start Reformation 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 Al-Soulaiman, Laila 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 Publicly, the United States positions itself as the world’s protector and enforcer of democracy. This role, however, is more preferential than universal — especially in the case of the developing conflict in Syria. As the policy has evolved along with the ever-changing dynamics on the ground, it is clear that there are inherent contradictions between the moralistic rhetoric of policy and the amoral empirical realities of policy implementation. U.S. government officials have publicly pledged their support of the Syrian people, called for the abdication of Assad, and stated that the use of chemical weapons is a red line that, if crossed, would provoke military intervention. The U.S., however, has delivered on none of these commitments. In fact, the administration’s foreign policy response to Syria has left many questions unanswered. On one hand, the lack of impactful initiatives to deter the bloodshed over the past five years makes it clear that the U.S. policy did not aim to do so in the first place. If the U.S.’s response to this crisis continues in its current form, and Assad’s regime continues, violence and repression will persist. To this end, democracy will be impossible in Syria, and those who will truly bear the burden of such inaction will be the people of Syria. What exact proposals in need of reversing this conflict are uncertain, but what remains clear is that the U.S. faces an impasse due to its irrevocable decisions, and whatever is to occur in the future will ultimately be decided by the will of the Syrian 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/56 10.5195/ppr.2015.56 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/56/52 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright (c) 2017 Laila Al-Soulaiman 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); 20-26 2160-5807 Title A name given to the resource When Elephants Fight, It’s the Grass That Suffers 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.

With near- celebrity status, unmatched qualifications and a brand name to boot, many believe that she’s the best candidate for the nation’s highest office and the key to the Democratic Party’s success in 2016. While Clinton is undoubtedly the most talked-about potential female candidate, she’s far from the sole woman in the Democratic Party that could launch a formidable campaign for the Oval Office. Though no female candidate has confirmed a 2016 presidential bid, a remarkable number of women are considered some of the most viable potential candidates for the Democratic nomination. These women are worth discussing not simply because of their gender, but because they happen to be some of the most legitimate candidates other than Clinton.  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/51 10.5195/ppr.2014.51 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/51/47 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 1 (2014); 68-74 2160-5807 Title A name given to the resource Fighting For a Seat at the Table: Why Women Can Be Formidable in 2016 Elections 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 Dryer, Mary Kathleen 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 Despite their widespread use, many rightfully question the prudence of using popular elections to fill state courts. A key difference between federal and state courts is that while federal judges are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate, the majority of jurists at the state level are elected. The reason federal judges, at least judges on the Article III courts, are made by executive selection is the same reason that Supreme Court justices are given life tenure: to insulate them from the whims of public opinion. In this passage, Hamilton articulates the fundamental paradox of democracy, a question that genuine republics have always grappled with: how can we control for the “tyranny of the majority?” In other words, how can we entrust people with the power to govern themselves but also prevent them from stripping away the rights of minority groups or from posing a danger to others?

Established in the 1930s, the kafala system came from the Bedouin custom of providing foreigners protection, or in some cases, affiliation with a tribe when passing through controlled territory. It was described by Azfar Khan of the International Labour Organization in The Guardian as “the best tradition of Arab hospitality,” a high compliment in a culture characterized by generous people and traditions. However, the current incarnation of the kafala system is a bastardization of previous forms, replacing generosity with greed, and honesty with deceit.

Shelling out thousands of dollars for some knowledge and a receipt claiming you paid is, in a few words, the modern American college system. Perhaps unsurprisingly, policies have been proposed to reduce the cost of college, even making it free in some instances. On Jan. 9, 2015 President Obama unveiled a plan to make “two years of community college free for responsible students across America.” Given the Republican control of Congress, the idea stands little chance of being passed, but it is still interesting to consider. Under the President’s plan, all Americans, regardless of income, would have access to two years of free community college education provided the student maintains a 2.5 GPA and part-time status. Though the benefits would be numerous, so would the costs.  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/62 10.5195/ppr.2015.62 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/62/58 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Copyright (c) 2017 Andrew Johnson 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); 57-65 2160-5807 Title A name given to the resource Is Free Education Really Free?

Handpicked by his ailing predecessor, Boris Yeltsin, Putin came to power following a decade of economic turmoil and political instability. His decisiveness, especially in regard to civic uprisings in Chechnya, garnered early support among the Russian people. In fact, Putin’s approval ratings remained high even as his actions became increasingly authoritarian. Given Russia’s position of power and its recent invasion of Crimea, there is reasonable concern among the international community over Putin’s ongoing obstructions to democracy both within and outside the country’s borders. Over the past few years, however, opposition groups have emerged with hopes of limiting Putin’s power. While widespread reform has yet to occur, movements to mobilize the Russian public are beginning to take place.  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/57 10.5195/ppr.2015.57 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/57/53 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 2 (2015); 27-34 2160-5807 Title A name given to the resource Defying Putin: Leaders of the Opposition Movement Against Russian Authoritarianism Type The nature or genre of the resource info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
