Question: Choose one of the following prompts and compose a full paper (three types of analysis)

• compare and contrast Fukuyama and Clausewitz

• compare and contrast Fukuyama and Ferris

• compare and contrast Clausewitz and Ferris

Three types of analysis might look like:

1. analyze each article internally (discuss what the author was attempting to communicate and if you agree or not, support)

2. compare and contrast each article.

3. with the similarities, apply the articles to an external topic (Constitution, Economy, Current events, etc)

Tools of Analysis

• Compare and contrast (two or three sections of a piece)

• Compare and contrast (with outside information/experts such as academic experts, politicians, textbooks, and other professional sources)

• Apply to something you know (pop culture, other text, experience, historical examples, other material)

• Reinterpret (put the author's ideas into your own words, communicate their point in a new way)

• Relevance (do the author's ideas apply to something going on today?)

• Argue for (provide several examples why the author is correct)

• Argue against (provide at least one example why the author is incorrect)

• Proscribe (criticize the author or the piece)

• Prescribe a solution to a problem the author raises, or propose a better solution than the author gives

• Identify if author has a bias and explain with examples
