This document discusses political campaigns and how they can be structured to increase education and economic opportunities. It argues that developing accountability tests that use reflective essay prompts would best assess students' cognitive abilities and predict their success. A political campaign could increase support for this approach and help develop students' skills while rewarding schools. Political parties, interest groups, and other organizations would be important actors in such a campaign to influence education policy.

1. POL 550 POLITICAL PARTIES AND INTEREST GROUPS
Economic and Student Utility
Structuring a national political campaign that increases education and economic features within a
political system

This final project provides ways in which student utility and economic success can be achieved
by developing accountability tests that generate greater economic benefits inside a political
system to reward an educational workforce to produce increase electoral outcomes.

2. Political campaigns are defined by political attitudes, issues, preferences, and other
identities that help determine how political parties and other groups illustrate particular policy
positions inside a political system. In addition, this means that political campaigns are
educational experiences that increase voter awareness, engagement, and political mobilization to
help shape political objectives and other political cultures in defining a narrative for a campaign.
Moreover, effective campaigns or public policy agendas help create support for political attitudes
and ideas to help increase policy dialogue and development to help form legislative products and
other political forces to produce greater political satisfaction among different communities and
interests to shape policy formation and other defined interests. In sum, this means that political
campaigns are one of the most effective and efficient tools for distributing policy changes and
political attitudes within different policy contexts to help create a more nurturing policy
environment.
For example, educational learning is a major campaign issue focused on within a political
system to help structure educational institutions that administer equitable tests across all schools
to increase literacy skills within a political system. Furthermore, increased literacy scores
determine how well students perform in schools to determine how test standards are applied
inside a political system to accurately measure student achievement. Moreover, student
achievement is the goal of all educational learning activities to help improve the overall civic life
of a political system to help produce a strong representative democracy that illustrates political
attitudes, cultures, and identities to help shape political realignment (party competition) among
political parties to structure policy ideas and goals that increase the political life of the campaign
(Burbank, M.J., Hrebenar, R.J., & Benedict, R.C., 2008, p. 238). In sum, increasing political life
of campaigns produces effective messaging tools in the form of public policy platforms to

3. generate political support and other traction inside a campaign to help meet political attitude
needs and better define political culture and identities within a political system (Burbank, M.J.,
Hrebenar, R.J., & Benedict, R.C., 2008, p. 238).
For example, educational learning is a key function for how schools administer learning
objectives, subject material, intelligence tests, academic performance, and other testing functions
to determine how students learn and retain information taught to them to measure analytical
skills and other cognitive abilities. Cognitive abilities produce academic indicators for assessing
how grades and other educational-incentives are distributed to create academic success in
secondary and post-secondary institutions. Educational learning assesses student cognitive
abilities and mental competencies to produce strong academic indicators such as academic
performance in terms of defined GPA earned, intelligence prediction, academic achievement,
and other impulsivity assessments that create statistical evidence and data in determining the best
students who achieve academic success and other desired educational goals inside secondary and
post-secondary institutions (Lozano, J.H., et al 2014, p. 63-68). Strong mental competencies and
cognitive tests help produce stronger academic standards and performance in terms of figuring
out stronger students to allow test developers, educators, and administrators create potential
alternative tests to accommodate weaker students to figure out potential cognitive abilities such
as analytical skills that are holding weaker students back; creating a disproportioned
disadvantage to weak students who are already bite by parents with low intelligence scores and
other socio-economic factors which affects the academic success of weaker students with
cognitive ability struggles (Lozano, J.H, et al, 2014, p. 63-68).
Administrative tests create accountability standards for assessing academic performance
and achievement to determine how test scores are developed to determine cognitive frameworks

4. for how test administrators, educators, teachers, and school officials produce literacy tests and
other amplitude tests that assess writing abilities of students, cognitive skills, mental
competencies, and analytical skills to determine how academic modules are developed. Upon
determining academic modules, academic indicators are created to assess strong academic
achievement while increasing ways to improve test scores and other test values to increase
material learned among students (Rambiritch, A., 2015, p. 26-41). Finally, producing
accountability standards for testing students creates a way to measure how information is learned
among students to define academic success and student achievement among individual students
to produce efficient ways to measure cognitive abilities and analytical skills to assess academic
achievement and other avenues of success inside secondary and post-secondary skills.
Measuring and assessing test standards are keys for illustrating how well administrative
tests structure mental competencies. This means that while no individual state has developed an
accurate way to develop effective ways to measure academic success, it has been shown that
reflective essay prompts and other writing-based tests create the best predictor of academic
success. For example, writing-based tests and reflective essay prompts creates stronger
impulsivity and academic connection to help students structure analytical skills to express
cognitive ideas on paper to create ways in which academic performance, success, and
achievement can be measured in the form of reflective-writing tests to create successful
academic indicators to generate and predict student achievement and other student success inside
academia and professional settings (Lozano, J.H., et al 2014, p. 63-68). Moreover, reflective
essay prompts create better scholarly apparatus for measuring social disciplines and other
theoretical disciplines that require intensive writing and analytical skills to create effective
success in determining how accountable reflective essay prompts can be in producing the skills

5. in measuring students abilities to produce academic and professional results in strong-writing
based professions such as lawyers, doctors, political scientists, and other social-science
disciplines which use academic literacy tests to help increase student achievement (Rambiritch,
A., 2015, p. 26-41). Finally, strong reflective essay prompts and literacy tests in the form of
analytical tests and amplitude tests allow students the most opportunity to create an efficient way
of expressing ideas which can lead to analytical skills being assessed by placing numerical
values on how students can express their ideas and create ways in which academic performance
and success can be achieved to structure test programs that reflect students strong cognitive
abilities and analytical writing skills to produce academic success inside academic settings and
professional environments for young adults.
A more equitable way of increasing educational achievement is to develop an effective
political campaign that focuses on increasing support for reflective essay prompts, and other
essay tests are the best ways to predict student success because students with strong cognitive
abilities and competencies will score higher on analytical skills tests and other amplitude tests. In
addition, this higher test results campaign will help assess educational gifts while increasing
educational knowledge and influence of children with exceptional learning capacity to generate
academic rewards to reward cognitive abilities within the political system. Moreover, cognitive
frameworks help establish policy goals within a political campaign to help develop political
goals and other predictive measures of performance to assess campaign attitudes and interests
inside political systems to produce effective results. In essence, political attitudes within political
parties can help structure competency knowledge and other realignment support for developing
policy evaluation, development, and implementation measures to create the best opportunity
possible to help achieve increased student success inside a political system.

6. Established political attitudes help generate successful political campaigns. Successful
political attitudes serve as effective party machines (party organizations) to increase electoral and
policy outcomes to increase tangible political benefits inside a political system. These policy
outcomes help create effective partisan identification (PID) or individual affective attachment in
terms of defining political attitudes and other voter interest initiatives within a campaign (desired
cause) to generate a winning platform (Burbank, M.J., Hrebenar, R.J., & Benedict, R.C., 2008, p.
237). Strong political attitudes and ballot initiatives produce the best results for assessing public
policies in determining their effectiveness in pursuing defined
Political parties and interest groups are important instruments of policy influential tools
that generate support for different socio-economic and political campaigns and views inside
political systems to help create better policy discourse and policy implantation of how an issue
can be addressed to fulfill a political preference or campaign promise crafted by small factions
and other organizational actors inside a political system to generate political capital for a policy.
For example, socio-economic campaigns include major political players, agents, surrogates,
academia professionals, and political scientists who influence policy dialogue and change by
providing normative conclusions on how issues can be framed inside a political system to
increase the support and influence of political parties and advocacy groups inside a political
system. Issues such as education and learning development are keys in producing a functional
political system that is active and civically involved. In sum, different organizational factions in
the form of interest groups (i.e. labor unions, teachers, and nonprofit organizations), political
parties (i.e. Democrats and Republicans), and state-governments (state legislators), policy-
makers (political committees, education committees, educational forums, discussions, and
community events such as PVA meetings), and other policy agents help construct education

7. policy to serve as a guide for helping create produce better learning environments for children to
grow and develop in.
Supportive environments are the most effective methods for assessing campaign attitudes
and other political interests within a political system. For example, political parties are fueled by
political interests and lobbying functions within representative democracies to furnish policy
debate inside political campaigns and other political functions of organization inside
representative democracy functions and serve as direct agents of influence who lobby for certain
policy views and preferences. These organizational interests help create a greater impulse for
how power can be divided up inside a State to produce effective policy results and create the
greatest good for the greatest number in maximizing policy utility within a political system
(Holyoke, T.T., 2014). In addition, greater policy impulses among minority communities and
economically challenged factions inside political systems allow social capital to be constructed
to figure out how political power can be mobilized to maximize policy utility and policy
hegemony to create a constructive policy approach to influence how wealth and poverty, power
and influence, resources, and impotence are distributed among communities to generate increase
localism to identify social oppressions (Jacobs, G., 2013, p. 501-526). These social oppressions
allow civic engagement and public forums to be created to help illustrate spark civic influence to
help increase social support and community activity for policy changes and policy utility to help
create a more representative version of political capital to help political parties structure policy
outcomes to respond to egalitarian differences in policy (Jacobs, G., 2013, p. 501-526). For
example, Latino’s embrace community based organizations as a form of social construction to
mobilize support for change in policy utility to help more immigrants live better lives in urban
areas to create greater civic and political engagement of immigrants within a political system

8. (Jacobs, G., 2013, p. 501-526). Greater civic and political engagement creates an institution of
policy change to help influence and mobilize support among political parties, state legislatures,
policymakers, committees, and other policy autonomy forces that influence legislative functions
to help increase policy utility among immigrants to create better lives for them inside political
systems (Jacobs, G., 2013, p. 501-526).
Political systems tend to construct the welfare state as a form of policy utility. This form
of policy utility can be reformed, reconstructed, and transformed to increase greater egalitarian
attributes to help increase educational opportunities among young, poor, and intellectual disabled
students to create better educational environments and well-being environments to help increase
socio-economic status inside political systems to help empower policy derived communities to
increase their power and knowledge within the political system (Tideman, M. & Svensson, O.,
2015). These egalitarian attributes have lead to policy utility goods being increased in the form
of greater advocacy and social institutions being formed to generate more educational services
being distributed among egalitarian stricken communities who are not represented by a national
education policy to create policy discourse and increase awareness for how communities and
welfare states administer education policy (Tideman, M., & Svensson, O., 2015). Organizational
and advocacy groups such as labor unions, trade associations, and other grassroots and lobbying
efforts generate public spheres for civil society politics and discourse to take place creating
avenues for networks and organizing functions to take shape creating social integration for
policy change to take place creating better economic policy for all inside a political system
(Haarstad, H., 2009, p. 169-185). For example, greater civic influence and political power can
create greater union influence inside the political process to help create less inequality and
wealth disparity and more empowerment of indigenous populations such as the less educated to

9. create effective education policy that helps build economic success and creates ladders of
opportunity for all inside political systems to increase social upward mobility (Haarstad, H.,
2009, p. 169-185). Finally, greater empowerment comes with utilizing political party support in
the form of policy instruments such as unions, economic institutions, social movements, and
other community-based organizations to help influence legislative and political forces to increase
policy utility, educational attainment, and social mobility of different indigenous populations
inside a political system to create policy change and other organizational realignments of how
educational services are allocated to foster increased political capital among less empowered
communities within a political system.
Campaign plans are essential political capital forces within a political system. These
political campaign forces serve as empowerment features to structure key actors to help
implement my campaign plan of a more reflective-essay and writing prompt approach to testing
within all school-settings. These actors include labor unions, heads of states and governments,
economic institutions, unions, community-based organizations, political institutions (Congress,
legislative entities), and community forums are all agents and actors of a comprehensive policy
approach to creating a robust education policy that works for all students. An all-the-above
engagement strategy produces the most effective political campaign possible to help create the
most effective learning environment for children to create maximum policy utility in creating
strong reflective-essay and prompt educational standards within educational settings.
Political campaigns are avenues for political parties, interest groups, and organized
interests to form inside the primary process within a political system to structure political
attitudes to increase electoral success within electoral settings to furnish favorable political
outcomes that reward party competition and public policies that increase the political power and

10. influence within interest groups. For example, political campaigns have added factional elements
to the political process that has contributed to greater external influence in election cycles and
other political contests which have contributed to greater homogeneity within political parties
allowing ideological factions to polarize political debate leading to primary processes and
presidential elections to be mechanisms of greater influence and political power between
political parties and other organized interests (Lewis, D.C., 2005, p. 1-32). These factional
elements have been instruments of public opinion and policy streams that have created greater
public policy struggles and preferences between political parties to structure campaign platforms
that increase political power and other party influence inside electoral outcomes attributing to
ideological boundaries being drawn creating major policy differences within political parties
(Lewis, D.C., 2005, p. 1-32). Moreover, when ideological boundaries are structured within
political campaigns, political parties tend to become more polarized meaning that policy
alignments, organization resources, advocacy interest networks, and policy outcomes tend to be
nationalized creating different solutions in promoting policy utility and campaign oriented
solutions that focus promoting legislative policies that produce strategic victories (Lewis, D.C.,
2005, p. 1-32). Finally, political campaigns increase legislative and political products as well as
political power and influence inside a political system to structure greater policy action within
political settings contributing to the influence of electoral outcomes leading to Republicans and
Democrats increasing political power within a political system leading to organized interests
being formed to generate winning political campaigns.
National party conservations are ways in which organized interests structure large diverse
policy debates on many topics such as health care, the role of government in regulating economic
activity, wealth distributions and allocation, political influence, civic engagement, and political

11. attitudes which increase party competition within political processes that focus on greater party
controls and legislative outcomes that tend to be more liberal. These party conservations are
policy outputs controlled by substantive policy debates meaning that the political party that
develops strong advocacy systems in lobbying policy ideas and party machines tend to increase
legislative and electoral victories that tilt the policy debate more liberal in favor of the
Democratic Party and less conservative (Lewis, D.C., 2005, p. 1-32). For example, individual
actors inside political parties run on party platforms aligned that helps political parties assist
candidates in structuring party labels and identification methods in which legislative outcomes
are favorable to independent political actors (Weber, R. P., 2000, p. 106). Moreover, legislative
actors such as political candidates help structure political objectives to increase political attitudes
and policy preferences within political systems to increase organizational support and political
power functions inside representative democracies to create competitive democratic processes
which political campaigns generate organized interest and external support.
Organized campaigns and public policy debates are structured around political attitudes
and policy visions for how political parties increase political power inside political systems.
These policy visions are party machines used by political parties to increase legislative
contributions and candidate support within existing party platforms to structure levers of special
interests where external equilibrium contributions to help interest groups increase electoral
competition within political campaigns (Chamon, M. & Kaplan, E., 2013, p. 1-31). In addition,
the levers of special interests structure political organization within presidential and political
campaigns meaning that interest groups mobilize political resources to help achieve favorable
legislative victories which responds to their policy objectives and needs creating greater
collaboration with political parties to structure greater electoral competition in political

12. campaigns to further increase equilibrium activities and other wealth contribution support which
expands equilibrium contributions and increase legislative rates of returns in which electoral
outcomes are more favorable for interest groups (Chamon, M. & Kaplan, E., 2013, p. 1-31).
Greater economic contributions can lead to greater political influence and voter disutility
meaning that interest groups can use political gains to make inroads within the political process
to pursue individual policy objectives and less policy agenda goals contributing to the increased
ideological boundaries within political parties allowing voters to be dissatisfied with the current
political system leading to electoral dissatisfaction and angry inside electoral processes and
political systems. Finally, national political campaigns should be structured around increased
voter utility measures and robust policy substance debates that focus on legislative and political
initiatives that help increase electoral influence and political within a political system to structure
strong political parties and attitudes within political systems.
Political campaigns serve as agents of political attitudes in which party platforms are
drafted to increase legislative and political appeal to different organized interests inside political
systems to increase political participation and relative power. For example, my national
campaign would be issue-driven meaning they focus on solutions to problems facing systems
and subunits within the political system that are not being addressed currently or need new
empirical knowledge thrown on the problem to solve the issue. In addition, an example includes
allowing increased reflective-writing aptitude tests where greater cognitive frameworks can be
used inside legislative environments to increase greater student achievement and educational
processes that focus on mental competencies and analytical writing techniques that help increase
cognitive functions of memory allowing more analytical aspects to teaching and other learning
activities to be adopted to help students learn better and teachers teach better within educational

13. systems (Yazdani, H., Amerian, M., & Hadadi, A., 2015, p. 195-207). Moreover, greater
analytical essay techniques in way of college essay tests and mental competency tests can help
increase greater educational policy evaluation tools where subject matter and cognitive abilities
help produce greater analyses to help policy makers focus on mental and analytical competencies
that help students succeed while increasing educational learning opportunities for students and
teachers to be effective tools of support and foundation for helping students achieve their
academic potential inside political systems (Yazdani, H., Amerian, M., & Hadadi, A., 2015, p.
195-207).
Political campaigns serve as agents of policy structure and change within political
systems to structure party platforms that increase party competition and legislative outcomes that
increase political party influence within political systems. Furthermore, the goal of my political
campaign would be to increase analytical assessment inside educational systems using reflective
essays and other writing assessments. These reflective essays would serve as mental cognitive
abilities could be studied to increase learning environments for young adults and children within
a political system to produce education success and greater emphasis in writing as a form of
assessment in education policy. In addition, my political campaign would include ways in which
economic equity and wealth inequality could be reduce by focusing on reform liberal policies
that promote economic opportunity, social justice, and egalitarian attributes within a political
system to help furnish avenues of wealth attribution and allocation to furnish fair labor, wealth,
and economic distributions that reward economic growth and increase labor participation within
a political system. Finally, my political campaign would focus on liberal-progressive policies
that reflect the realities of the twenty-first century by outlining ways in which progressive groups
such as labor unions, trade associations, teacher organizations, corporations, political parties, and

14. other factional groups within a political environment could be avenues of influence and agents of
social change by producing policy preferences and attitudes that reflect a redefined democratic
party that can win Southern States such as Kentucky to produce a national model for success in
electoral contests within a political system.
Political campaigns are avenues for political attitudes and preferences to be expressed by
political candidates and other political operatives who seek to change the policy debate within
American Politics. Typically, candidates develop a series of political preferences that center on
the candidates philosophy and policy goals the candidate wants to achieve inside the political
campaign. For example, inside my political campaign budget my policy goals are represented in
creating a diverse cabinet made up of political-legislative agents and actors that will help advise
me to create the right policy to create the kind of legislative-political success I want inside a
political system (2016, Campaign Budget). This type of success is rooted in campaigns by
creating a functional executive branch centered around making political institutions more
functional by focusing financial resources in experts such as Liaison officers, trade experts,
policy experts, legislative-political analysts, Supra-Institution Advisor, Czars, and other political
agents inside my administration to help create greater political-legislative relationships with
political institutions and international entities that a difference in helping shape and produce
legislative product (2016, Campaign Budget). In essence, my campaign will be reflective of how
Democrats increase legislative product and political activity by using it as a platform for the
Democratic Party to use as a policy tool to shape how public policy is structured throughout the
political system to produce increased electoral success to help structure legislative victories that
help set the policy-making agenda to make it more liberal.

15. My political campaign would be created to help increase the middle classes voice in the
policy debate by creating a political economy expert to coordinate with my economic advisors
and senior economic policy makers to help structure policies that reflect increasing purchasing
power, per capita incomes, and other GNP and Gini index features within a political system. For
example, the Middle Class Task Force Representative, political economy expert, and legislative-
political director, educational specialists, as well as other specialized offices will help serve as
statistical solutions to help reduce the level of inequality within a political system on scale of 0 to
100, which corresponds to paradigms perfect equality and perfect inequality (O’Neil, P.H., 2010,
p. 320). In addition, these specialized offices will increase perfect equality conditions within the
middle class by producing policies that generate wage growth, increase wealth distribution,
currency exchange functions, and other incentive adjustments that help structure political-
economy policy to meet middle class voter interests and help create a political culture which
centers around reducing political gridlock and divided government policy stalemates which will
increase electability of democratic candidates to office (Marx, K., 2010, p. 29-34, 35-64).
Moreover, the costs of such a campaign would be in the trillions as estimated in my budget
meaning that each specialized function within the campaign has a monetary value to produce the
utmost policy utility in structuring policy outcomes to help achieve greater legislative and
political victories to help create a more functional political system, while adhering to the political
attitudes and beliefs that are the cornerstone for the Democratic Party of using government as a
positive economic tool to increase the lives of a defined citizenry (2016, Campaign Budget). In
sum, this campaign would serve as institutional tool within a political system to help guide and
shape the policy conservation such as how educational policy, economic policy, trade policy,
legislative-political strategy, foreign policy, and other policy attitudes within the Democratic

16. party to help create a winning message that increases legislative victories within electoral
settings and environments to create a more functional political system that balances political
power and influence with all aristocracy functions inside a political system.
