During a group therapy session, a group is talking about the pressures of being “perfect” in society (ex. perfect mother) when the counselor/facilitator is confronted by a group member about something they said.

 

Here is the dialogue:

 

Counselor: I think that’s an interesting perspective. Thank you for sharing that. I’m curious to know if anyone else in the group feels that way or can maybe talk about times when they don’t want to be perfect, and they want the support of others.

Group member A: Why are you looking at me?

Counselor: Excuse me?

Group member A: Why are you looking at me when you say that?

Counselor: I’m sorry. 

 

After this interaction, the rest of the group is now visually uncomfortable, looking at each other, looking down, unsure of what to say, fidgeting, and withdrawing from the group. 

 

*Question: What would you have said to the group member in that catalytic moment to intervene and bring the group back to a whole but still keep the “group member A” connected to the group?

The separation of powers and checks and balances in both theory and practice

Describe the separation of powers and checks and balances in both theory and practice by choosing the correct description. Choose one or more of the items below.

In the federal government, Article ____(1) of the United States Constitution establishes the Legislative Branch, which consists of Congress. Congress, in addition to other enumerated responsibilities, is responsible for creating laws. As a general rule, the nondelegation doctrine prohibits the Legislative Branch from delegating its lawmaking responsibilities. Congress can, however, provide agencies with regulatory guidelines if it provides them with an “intelligible principle” to base their regulations on. For more information on the Legislative Branch, refer to “Congress.”

Article ___(2) of the United States Constitution establishes the Executive Branch, which consists of the President. The President approves and carries out the laws created by the Legislative Branch. For more information on the Executive Branch, refer to “Executive Branch.”

Article ___(3)of the United States Constitution establishes the Judicial Branch, which consists of the United States Supreme Court. The Judicial Branch interprets the laws passed by the Legislative Branch. For more information on the Judicial Branch, refer to “Judiciary.”

________________(Separation of Powers) in the United States is associated with the Checks and Balances system. The Checks and Balances system provides each branch of government with individual powers to check the other branches and prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. For example, Congress has the power to create laws, the President has the power to veto them, and the Supreme Court may declare laws unconstitutional. Congress consists of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives, and can override a Presidential veto with a 2/3 vote in both houses.

The _________________ (Checks and Balances) also provides the branches with some power to appoint or remove members from the other branches. Congress can impeach and convict the president for high crimes, like treason or bribery. The House of Representatives has the power to bring impeachment charges against the President; the Senate has the power to convict and remove the President from office. In addition, Supreme Court candidates are appointed by the President and are confirmed by the Senate. Judges can be removed from office by impeachment in the House of Representatives and conviction in the Senate. In this way, the system provides a measure, in addition to invalidating laws, for each branch to check the others.

This week’s discussion question asks you to weigh in on the comparison between U.S. and European imperialism. What are the parallels between U.S. and European imperialism in the Americas, and how were these strategies different? What explains the differences, and what are the implications?
