Should People Be Able To Vote Online?
- Write a 2 to 3 page, APA style paper, explaining why you believe people should or should not be allowed to vote (either local or national elections) using the Internet.
- In your paper include a discussion of the opposing position along with your rebuttal (of that opposing position).
- For instance, if you decided to write a paper explaining that people should be allowed to vote using the internet (and why)–then your rebuttal would be that people should not be allowed to vote using the internet (and why).
- Note: Explaining means to give details about something: to give an account of something with enough clarity and detail to be understood by somebody else.
- Include a title page and 3-5 references. Only one of your references may be found online (not Wikipedia). The other references must be found in the Grantham University online library. Please see the rubric below.
Midterm Exam
Unlike talk show hosts or political bloggers, students in college are asked to exercise “critical thinking,” which means they must clearly and objectively see both sides of an issue in order to effectively argue a position.
Today we often hear of the populist position that size of government must be reduced. Yet we never hear from anyone arguing that government should be larger. For this examination, write an essay of no less than 600 words meeting standard APA requirements, making a case for larger government. Use at least three sources from EBSCO to support your position.
(Hint #1: Think about the problems our nation’s leaders experienced with the Articles of Confederation.)
(Hint #2: Consider the powers shared by the federal government and states.)
Bureaucracy
Is the bureaucracy as powerful as the other three branches of our government?
- Note: a bureaucracy is an administrative system, especially in a government, that divides work into specific categories carried out by special departments of nonelected officials.
- Write a 2 to 3 page, APA style paper, explaining why you think it is or is not possible for the “Fourth Branch” of our government (the bureaucracy) to be equal with the other three branches.
- Include the opposing position along with your rebuttal of that opposing position.
- For example, if you believe that the “Fourth Branch of the US government should be equal to the other three branches (and why), your rebuttal would be to people that do not believe the “Fourth Branch” of the US government should be equal to the other three branches (and why).
- Include a title page and 3-5 references. Only one of your references may be found online (not Wikipedia). The other references must be found in the Grantham University online library. Please see the rubric below.
