On one level, the reason is obvious: accountability. There’s a lot at stake...

except somehow for Donald J. Trump and some in identity politics...

• for: carbon inequality, question - new COP - focused on elites?

• comment

  • while COP28 fights over which nations bear what responsibility, from this perspective, there is an entirely different class of people that must be held responsible, not at the nation state level, but at the individual level. Why isn't there a COP where the elites are held responsible?

• question

  • Are we making a grave category error in holding the wrong class of people responsible? Should questions of carbon equity concern both high polluting nations AND individuals?
  • At the very least, should we formally recognize a parallel set of responsibilities and elevate that recognition to the level of COP conventions to deal with the problem?

Annotation 2:

Based on the downtown parking lot that has experienced an increase in car breaks, I would include community stakeholders when identifying the problems and or solutions. Often times, based on experience when car theft is happening where parking lots or car dealerships it’s an inside job so when you hold stakeholders accountable it requires them getting involved and being responsible for the customers who experience auto theft.

The stakeholders include groups of violent crimes, elected officials who service the community where the crime is happening and the business itself. Why? because for one example, if you include city officials, they have funding to help get security, cameras and support to protect community members.

What I learned from one of the readings is that community oriented policing is important. According to the Literature Review- A product of the Model Programs Guide stats that “COP is a redefinition of the relationship between the police and the community, so that the two collaborate to identify and solve community problems.”

• Title: Climate Homicide: Prosecuting Big Oil for Climate Deaths

• Author:

  • David Arkush
  • Donald Braman

• Abstract

• Paraphrase
  • Prosecutors regularly bring homicide charges against individuals and corporations
    • whose reckless or negligent acts or omissions
    • cause unintentional deaths,
    • as well as those whose misdemeanors or felonies cause unintentional deaths.
  • Fossil fuel companies learned decades ago that
    • what they
      • produced,
      • marketed, and
      • sold
    • would generate “globally catastrophic” climate change.
  • Rather than alert the public and curtail their operations,
    • they worked to
      • deceive the public about these harms and
      • to prevent regulation of their lethal conduct.
  • They funded efforts to
    • call sound science into doubt and
    • to confuse their
      • shareholders,
      • consumers, and
      • regulators.
    • poured money into political campaigns to elect or install
      • judges,
      • legislators, and
      • executive officials hostile to any
        • litigation,
        • regulation, or
        • competition
      • that might limit their profits.
  • Today, the climate change that they forecast
    • has already killed thousands of people in the United States,
    • and it is expected to become increasingly lethal for the foreseeable future.
  • Given the
    • extreme lethality of the conduct and
    • the awareness of the catastrophic risk
      • on the part of fossil fuel companies,
      • should they be charged with homicide?
  • Could they be convicted?
  • In answering these questions,
    • this Article makes several contributions to
      • our understanding of criminal law and
      • the role it could play in combating crimes committed at a massive scale.
  • It describes
    • the doctrinal and
    • social predicates of homicide prosecutions
  • where corporate conduct endangers much or all of the public.
  • It also identifies important advantages of
    • homicide prosecutions
    • relative to
      • civil and
      • regulatory remedies,
    • and it details
      • how and
      • why
    • prosecution for homicide may be the most effective legal remedy available in cases like this.
  • Finally, it argues that,
    • if our criminal legal system cannot focus more intently on climate crimes soon
    • we may leave future generations with significantly less for the law to protect.

Inspired by Shime's Word Raft, Haikal Kushahrin has created a note raft with several people as a means of keeping them all accountable for writing at least 15 notes per week.

CSCL activities should be designed with the aim of guaranteeing a certain level of positive interdependence (Johnson & Johnson, 1998) and individual accountability (Slavin, 1989) to the students.

This wrongly assumes that

• Permanent records are always desirable
• Accountability undermines corporations

There is no accountability to people inside corporations, only to results. Which is working as intended, companies are meant to make money by serving customers, not employees.

The simple "truth" here is that these Stadia games likely wouldn't have been successful without a lot of additional investments.

Concentrating power to one individual is dangerous. Large portions of the food security of African nations should not be so vulnerable to corporatism.

The mechanisms of our compliance with the dominant system are designed into the system:

• Social: learned helplessness (individuality)
• Economic: trained incapacities (specialization)
• Political: bureaucratic intransigence (authoritarianism)

Where are the actual emissions reductions milestones? Why doesn't this page show the total emissions of the signatories at the time of signing, the targets, and the emissions reduced since signing? How is this pledge different from all the other climate pledges?

Who is checking this? Will signatories who fail to meet their climate commitments be removed from the signatory list? Are there any repercussions?

1. Key Map of Standard Operating (interlinked) Procedures, Time & Cost including Advocate/Court Fees & Miscellaneous (interlinked) charges for the Litigants much before any case is lodged
2. Citizens Driven, 3rd Party Audit Mechanism of the entire System to incorporate proper accountability
3. Court Rating System - Litigants/Civil Society asked to rate the courts.
4. Pull down menu with all interlinked Acts, Laws, Related Precedents, Judgements, etc to help Litigants File Applications on their own.
5. Online Case Tracking system for the Litigant with Time, result, cost, etc.

This is male privilege and misogyny at its best. Celia's privacy has been violated and yet Swift tasks her with keeping prying eyes away from her things. The intruder, Strephon, is pitied for what he finds and the subsequent disillusionment, but is not held accountable for his offense--snooping! Swift blames the victim similar to how every story of abuse plays out today. God forbid Strephon be responsible for his own actions and held to a higher standard than that of a snoop, intruder, etc. Those labels are reserved for women, I suppose.

This is key. The Trump donation consequence speaks to me. That'd be awful to have to do.

I need to hold my project out in front of my greatest enemy. If I finish it, my project and I live on, thrive, and enjoy watching the world enjoy the newfound sense of well-being they've gained as a result of connecting with my work.

But if I fail, my enemy wins, suddenly causing me to be a part of the problem my work was supposed to be designed to cease.

But part of perfectionism is the avoidance of shame caused by someone else negatively judging your work. Sure, while having an accountability partner would, in fact, be helpful, pulling the trigger on getting one ain't easy.

(Wow, I'm being negative with these annotations. Sorry, though. Can't help it. It's how I feel. Would love someone to help me feel differently! ;-)

Declaration of Independence

We have the right to petition the government for redress of grievances

That seems impractical these days with our government so big.

We don't even write to our representatives in Congress. Why not? Maybe most of us don't think it would do any good.

But if we don't stand up for our rights, they will gradually be taken away.

Where is our militant faith? We're afraid of it being called hate speech.

"Bigotry disguised as religious liberty is still bigotry"

Republicanism is a country without a king. Protestantism is a church without a Pope.

Pope Francis

Jesuits

Protestantism is [religious] racism Well, I don't want to be a racist. I better not speak up. Affects free speech.

Sunday sacredness is the mark of Catholic church's authority.

"Ecumenism is not optional"

The Tyranny of Structurelessness

Did he get it? Scary thought; program had very little accountability as it was.

accountability rather than decentralization

make centralization accountable

Here's a case where we ought to consider creating our bills and laws via version control, so we can see exactly who, what, and when things changed along the way. It might mean much less gets done, but there'd be a lot more transparency and accountability.

This article goes along well with the class reading on "Connected Learning"- using digital accountability and support to reach goals (example: fitness)

Can annotation portfolios/profile be leveraged to this end? Students have an activity page that represents their engagement with reading and with each other. Maybe ask students to reflect on their contributions.
