11/WI POLI 1210 Essay Assignment The assignment will be to outline a political issue from two different ideological perspectives in approximately 1500 words. The assignment is 25% of your final grade. You can use perspectives that are polar opposites (Conservatism and Liberalism or Fascism and Communism) or you can compare different variants of the same ideology (e.g. classic liberalism to reform liberalism or even neo-liberalism). It is better to select a political issue that really interests you or that is quite current and topical. However I will put some topics that have been used in the recent past to provide some examples. Prayer in schools Canadian participation in the World Trade Organization Same sex marriage Logging mining or oil drilling in a National Park Free Trade National Medicare Two tier Medicare Stem cell research Luxury taxes Gun control laws Privatization of Liquor sales Education as an essential service Legalizing marijuana Again it is better to pick a topic you are interested in as it is easier to prepare. It is also easier to have a black and white comparison but sometimes you can demonstrate stronger analytical skills by comparing two variations of the same ideology.
