Comparative Politics Second Term Essay Assignment (Worth 20 of Fi.docx

Comparative Politics Second Term Essay Assignment (Worth
20% of Final Grade):
Due Date: March 8
Assignment: Answer one of the questions in essay format
complete with a separate cover page and list of references. The
essay must be typed, with normal margins, size-12 font, double-
spaced, and stapled (please no paper clips). Be sure to include
all the necessary information on your cover page (name, class
number, essay title if desired, essay question number, student
number, and date). The essay must be at least 8 pages long and
no longer than 10 pages.
You are expected to do your own research and provide
references for any factual information used to support your
arguments. You are also expected to use no less than 5 peer-
reviewed sources in your essay. You can certainly use more
sources to supplement your work (and I would heavily suggest
that you do so). These sources must come from scholarly
journals, published books, or anything of an equivalent
legitimacy (NO WIKIPEDIA!!). Hint: use the likes of online
databases like JSTOR to find relevant journal articles and
books. You may use your textbooks or lecture notes if desired;
however they will not count towards your 5 required sources.
You can use any writing and citation style, so long as it is
concise and includes the necessary information. Be as accurate
as you can with your citations, and make sure you cite you work
properly. Regardless of your style, I want page numbers (and
even paragraph numbers if page numbers aren’t available) for
relevant citations. Less-leniency will be provided for a lack of
sources for claims in this assignment.
Your own unique contribution to the essay is essential. Do not
simply quote passages from the reading material or provide a
descriptive summary of the literature. Be skillful in how you
decide to approach the issue; what research you aim to use, and
how you aim to utilize it; and make sure you argue your claims

in an effort to persuade your reader (don’t assume your reader is
naturally on your side).
Questions:
1. The United States has such high levels of political
polarization that it arguably hinders its role as an example for
other liberal democracies to follow. Do you agree with this
sentiment? Examine and compare another country’s experience
with political polarization, and its effect on its democratic
measures, society, and the ability to serve as an example for
other democracies to follow.
2. Germany and Japan have unique defensive-minded mandates
for their militaries following their actions in World War II.
What role should the German and Japanese military have in the
contemporary international realm? Is it time each pursued the
ability to exercise their military-force akin to that of other
sovereign, developed democracies? Does their history forfeit
this right? Have they moved passed the need to operate an
offensive military presence in the world?
3. France and the United States have been allies for a very long
time. Despite the common economic ties and democratic ideals
shared between both countries, there resides a great deal of
negative sentiment towards one another. What are the sources
for these perceptions? Is it likely that these feelings will have
an impact on these countries continuing their alliance into the
future?
4. Germany’s electoral system is often touted as being one of
the most effective models in incorporating proportional
representation. Do you agree with this statement? Explore
Germany’s system in relation to another country of your choice,

and make a claim as to whether or not you feel that a Germany-
style system is perhaps one of the best models to export to other
countries looking to establish PR measures.
5. Japan’s mercantilist economy provided an economic boom for
many years. However it also resulted in recent levels of
stagnation that Japan has yet to emerge out of. Compare Japan’s
economic approach to that of France, and whether there is merit
to having such levels of government intervention in a capitalist
economy in the contemporary era, or if this design is a
hindrance to one or both of these countries.
6. Russia’s recent actions in Ukraine, the military response in
Georgia, and the annexation of Crimea suggest that Russia is
striving to reassert control over former areas of its influence, or
is perhaps just taking measures to protect its sovereignty
(depending on your prerogative). What do you make of this
behaviour by Russia? Compare this case with a relevant one
from the contemporary era or recent history, and explore the
rationale and legitimacy in this behaviour.
7. The United Kingdom has an interesting relationship with
many of its former colonies; some retain a positive and strong
connection to the UK to this day. Explore the UK’s colonial
experience in relation to another colonial power, and touch on
what factors stand out with both cases (namely how the UK has
managed to maintain not only this sort of relationship with
many of its former colonies, but how it has also retained
influence). Use one specific colony for each in your study; more
than one can technically be used but it might diffuse your focus
too much.
8. The United States’ role as the single global-superpower is
arguably diminishing. Other countries like China, Russia, and
India, as well as the EU are challenging the position of the
United States in the international arena. Do you agree with this
sentiment? Explore this phenomenon and provide an assessment

for the United States, while also analyzing it alongside one of
the aforementioned actors and its prospects for becoming a
greater superpower.
Evaluation:
Your essay will be assessed on the quality, depth, and use of
your research; your ability to present a well-reasoned and
empirically valid argument; and the coherence of your writing.
A poorly written paper with multiple mistakes will not make an
intelligent and persuasive argument. Thus spelling and grammar
are essential elements to your overall grade for this assignment.
Consider the following with your essay:
1. How thoroughly did you engage the issue? Were you able to
avoid major criticisms to your work that undermined your
argument? Did you do enough research on this issue to not only
construct a meaningful discussion, but also to adequately
demonstrate to your reader your knowledge on this topic?
2. How well did you articulate your position? Did you carry
your thesis effectively and clearly throughout the entirety of
your paper?
3. Were you precise with your wording and word-choice; did
you avoid using too many words to get a point across? Did all
of your statements serve a purpose? Did any phrases or
statements not only fail to serve a key purpose, but where they
possibly detracting to your argument and/or its flow?
4. Is it cleanly written and proof-read? Is it free of spelling
mistakes, awkward sentences, and claims that are not relevant?
6. Note academic regulations on plagiarism and cheating; it is
your job to reference all of your work accurately and
effectively. Are any claims that are not general knowledge
requiring a source to substantiate them?
Late Penalty:
Late assignments will be penalized by 5% for each day they are

late (not including weekends). No extensions will be permitted
unless illness (which a doctor’s note must be provided) or
extraordinary circumstances (which must be discussed with me
in advance). All assignments must be handed in at the start of
class on the due date or earlier. Any submissions after class
will be considered late. All students are also expected to
upload their final copy to UM Learn (under the assignments
tab). This is not a submission area, as I will only be using the
UM Learn database as a backup; you MUST hand in a physical
copy on the due date or earlier. I repeat: don’t submit the
assignment to UM Learn and assume I’ll check there first for
your copy.
Tips:
1. Start early. It is to your advantage to begin work early
instead of leaving them due when you have multiple
assignments due. Rushed work shows.
2. Talk to me about your paper before you turn it in. I can help
highlight issues with your argument or sources early on, which
will allow you the time to correct your writing beforehand.
However, understand that I will NOT read rough drafts. I will
be happy to talk with you about your thesis statement, and
arguments in as much detail as you’d like, but I cannot “pre-
grade” your paper (as that would be an unfair advantage to
everyone else).
3. Understand both sides of the issue. To make a really
persuasive argument, you need to not only explain your position
but you must also effectively refute the opposite. To do that,
you’ll need to fully understand both sides of the argument in
question.
4. Structure and write your paper with purpose. Make sure your
thesis statement is clear and to the point; don’t miss anything
important out. In concluding your essay, simply restate your

thesis statement to demonstrate how you accomplished your
argument.
5. Avoid using “I” in your writing (if you must use “we”, you
should instead indicate who it is that you’re referring to), and
stating things as being “obvious”. Demonstrate your point
through clear argumentation, and not assuming things are valid
simply because they’re your opinion. You can assume that your
audience is generally versed in the material, so you do not need
to demonstrate basic concepts (unless it is somehow necessary
for your argument).
6. It sounds trivial at this point for me to mention it, but
PROOF READ your work! It is absolutely vital to not only re-
read your work to catch potential errors in writing and
argumentation, but also to find a fresh pair of eyes to do the
same. See if you can find someone in class who’ll review your
work and you can do the same for them.

A
The influence of consequential ethics as an ethical framework
(the greatest good for the greatest number) opposes the ethical
principle of deontology (i.e., the rightness of an act itself
determines what is right). Both of these impact the nursing
profession. Modern social exchange theories are based on the
principle of utility. Read the assumptions of social exchange
theory and consider how these would affect the nurse-patient
relationship, compared to how these impact the nurse within the
health care environment. To what extent are all theories ethical?
Is social exchange theory compatible with the values of the
nursing profession?
