REQUIREMENTS:
Limit 4, single-spaced, type-written pages, 12-pt. Times Roman font, 1 inch margins. The paper will count for 20% of your final grade. Papers must be in Word, PDF, or RTF format. Papers must include your name, student ID#, and the title of class. This is both a creative exercise and a test of what you have learned so far in the course. Use your imagination as well as apply your knowledge of relevant information in answering the questions. Papers are due in my Brightspace “Assignment” folder no later than Monday, June 4 @ 11:59 p.m. Late papers will be docked a letter grade after each day it is late (however, early papers are accepted). Feel free to use sources such as the Internet, magazine and newspaper articles, books, and any others you might come across; however, you MUST cite all sources used, as well as utilize quote marks when directly quoting a source.
QUESTIONS
Compare and contrast the movies in Section II. What kind of pressures must a president or member of Congress deal with? Must a president or members of Congress “dirty their hands” and engage in overtly political behavior in order to be successful? What role does the media and scandal play? What about lobbyists, special interests and money? Has money corrupted the American political system? Explain. Be sure to draw on all the movies in this section, the assigned readings, and any other relevant films &/or readings in answering these questions. Remember: there are no “right” or “wrong” answers to these questions—simply opinions which are either well-defended or not.
