GOVT 220 Discussion Forum 1
Topic: Applying the Concepts of Conservatism and Liberalism
Thread: First, visit the website for National Review Online. This
is a leading conservative magazine and articles are written from
various points on the conservative spectrum. Occasionally, it may
disagree with a point on the lecture outline of liberal and
conservative views. Select an article to review. If there are no
suitable articles at the National Review Magazine website, you
may select an article from Real Clear Politics. Alternatively, you
may look at copies of the magazine at a bookstore or college
library and choose an article that way. Select an article that is at
least 800 words.
Second, review the concepts in the lecture on conservatism and
liberalism. You must refer to the presentations to receive full
credit.
Third, identify the key themes of the article. Compare these with
what you have learned about conservatism and liberalism. What
conservative ideas do you find expressed in the article? Why do
you call them conservative? Are any liberal points present in the
article? If so, what are they? Why do you call them liberal?
Your thread must consist of 2 paragraphs. In the first paragraph,
you must summarize the content of the article and identify the
thesis of the author. In the second paragraph, you must give the
analysis, explaining why the article should be considered
conservative or liberal based on the presentations.

2. Remember: Do not simply summarize the article. Instead, analyze
its main ideas. Demonstrate that you can apply the conceptual
material provided in the presentation outline and your textbook to
actual writings you might encounter outside of this course.
Your thread must offer several points of analysis and demonstrate
that you have reviewed the presentation by making references to
the points from the presentation. Select an article that is long
enough to give you sufficient points upon which to write. Include
the author and title of the article you choose and cite the source.
