select and discuss three of the following interrelated issues, separately. Be sure to select one issue from each of the three subject areas. A final section of the paper, of at least one page (at least 300 words), should be devoted to exploring the connections between the three issues you have chosen, thus dividing the paper into four discrete parts. No special “paper” format is required; for the first three sections, it is best to just state and then answer the questions/prompts, as if the paper were an examination. Each answer must discuss at least one course reading substantially. If appropriate to a given question, your argument may be strengthened by including commentary on a second course reading. Although the reading discussions are primary, you are also encouraged to enrich your discussions by including lecture, video, or other relevant material from lecture. It is essential, though, to offer personal insight and creativity beyond what was discussed in class. Papers should be at least 3000 words in length (please indicate the word-count on your paper), and 2-sided printing is recommended. Late papers will be penalized ½ grade point per day late, and must be emailed to your section leader.
