Examples of selective incorporation in the following topics:

  • Nationalizing the Bill of Rights

    • The Bill of Rights were included into state laws through selective incorporation, rather than through full incorporation or nationalization.
    • On the other hand, some believed that incorporation should be selective, in that only the rights deemed fundamental (like the rights protected under the First Amendment) should be applied to the states, and it should be a gradual process.
    • The Supreme Court eventually pursued selective incorporation.
    • Even though the Supreme Court decided on selective incorporation, there were some who advocated for a total incorporation or nationalization of the Bill of Rights.
    • Compare and contrast the difference between nationalization and selective incorporation of the Bill of Rights.

  • Incorporation Doctrine

    • More commonly, it is argued that incorporation began in the case Gitlow v.
    • Despite his opinion, in the following twenty-five years, the Supreme Court employed a doctrine of selective incorporation that succeeded in extending to the States almost of all of the protections in the Bill of Rights, as well as other, unenumerated rights.
    • Amendment VIII, the right to jury trial in civil cases has been held not to be incorporated against the states, but protection against "cruel and unusual punishments" has been incorporated against the states.
    • Here, this right is exercised as an attorney asks questions during jury selection.
    • Amendment V, the right to due process, has been incorporated against the states.

  • Theories of Life History

    • Modern theories of life history incorporate life and survivorship factors with ecological concepts associated with r- and K-selection theories.
    • The regulation of population growth by these factors can be used to introduce a classical concept in population biology: that of K-selected versus r-selected species.
    • Populations of K-selected species tend to exist close to their carrying capacity (hence the term K-selected) where intraspecific competition is high.
    • In contrast to K-selected species, r-selected species have a large number of small offspring (hence their r designation).
    • New demographic-based models of life history evolution have been developed which incorporate many ecological concepts included in r- and K-selection theory, as well as population age structure and mortality factors.

  • Formatting Tips

    • PowerPoint incorporates elements of written, oral, and visual communication.
    • Templates: You may either select an existing template or design your own.
    • Select fonts that are good for projecting, not ones that are just good for printing.
    • You can also combine two different shapes by selecting one and then selecting and dragging another into it for a custom image.
    • Video and Audio: You can search and select video in different media formats.

  • The Elements of a Slide

    • PowerPoint is a multi-media platform that incorporates elements of written, audio, video, and graphical communication.
    • Titles and sub-titles: After first opening PowerPoint to start a new presentation using the Blank Presentation Template, the user can select a title and sub-title for the presentation, using one of a variety of fonts and colors.
    • They can also select the font style, size, and content to support their message.
    • After locating the desired supporting media, incorporate it into the slide.

  • Business Ethics in B2B

    • Marketers need to incorporate good ethics in their marketing campaigns as they are responsible for the image that a product portrays.
    • Examples of unethical market exclusion or selective marketing are past industry attitudes to the gay, ethnic minority and obese ("plus-size") markets.
    • Another example is the selective marketing of health care, so that unprofitable sectors, such as the elderly, will not attempt to take benefits to which they are entitled.
    • With that said, marketers need to understand what constitutes good ethics and how to incorporate such practices into various marketing campaigns to better reach a targeted audience and gain trust from customers.
    • List the pitfalls B2B companies face when ignoring ethics in market research and target marketing, and the advantages to incorporating ethics

  • Hosting Conventions

    • The major political parties in the U.S. host the Democratic and Republican National Conventions to select candidates and rally supporters.
    • The formal purpose of the conventions is to select the party's candidates for president and vice president.
    • Subsequently, the more modern focus of the Democratic and Republican National Conventions has been to unify each respective party by having delegates vote on issues that the nominee can incorporate into their presidential campaign.
    • Some minor political parties in the U.S. also utilize conventions to select their presidential candidates.

  • Enantioselective Aldol Reactions

    • The oxazolidinone auxiliary is usually incorporated as an imide derivative, shown for propionic acid in the equation at the bottom of the illustration.
    • Other procedures for removing the auxiliary have also been developed, with lithium hydroperoxide being particularly selective thanks to the alpha effect.
    • Steric hindrance of the Lewis acid with the Z-methyl group changes the facial selectivity of the aldehyde from re to si.
    • In order to reverse this selectivity, a bulkier silyl substituent is introduced and the magnesium is exchanged with a triisopropoxidetitanium moiety.
    • Once again, chelation is prevented, and dipole opposition causes a reversal in facial selectivities, leading to the enantiomeric anti-aldol product.

  • Vectors for Genomic Cloning and Sequencing

    • Common to all engineered vectors are an origin of replication, a multicloning site, and a selectable marker.
    • Viral vectors are often designed for permanent incorporation of the insert into the host genome, and thus leave distinct genetic markers in the host genome after incorporating the transgene.
    • For example, retroviruses leave a characteristic retroviral integration pattern after insertion that is detectable and indicates that the viral vector has incorporated into the host genome.

  • Interaction in Public Speaking

    • During the annual State of the Union address, the President of the United States will often incorporate anecdotes of "everyday" Americans into his or her address.
    • By incorporating these compelling stories into the State of the Union address, the President makes it a more interactive experience for the everyday American watching from home.
    • You want to make sure that these questions relate to the subject matter of your speech and then incorporate those answers into the rest of your speech.
    • You may also choose to call out select members of the audience by name, if appropriate -- for example, when sharing an anecdote.
