Assignment
Purpose: This essay will test your ability to write under a strict and often stressed time limit. You will have a limited amount of time to gather, sort, and use information in order to write a critical two to three page response to a presentation. This essay is designed to mimic the way in which writing often needs to be completed on the job, in spirit if not in format.
Like the midterm and the final, this assignment focuses on an area of writing where students are often weak, and in this case, two areas: political science and philosophy.
Instruction: In recent years, we have seen a rise in authoritarian and populist movements globally, fueled by a collective sense of individualism.
These are movements that lead, politically, towards fascism. You will be presented with the historical and current evidence for the rise of these movements and what it means globally and at home. Then, you need to respond.
Here are some questions to guide your response:
What are the dangers of these movements individually?
What are the dangers of these movements as they work together?
