Aristocratic Leader

We have been reading through Lao-Tzu’s Thoughts from the Tao Te-Ching and we have been trying together to figure out what it all means. And we have been trying to find modern value in the advice given to an Aristocratic Leader even though we live in an era of elected political representatives.

Keep looking to find quotes you like. See which one’s make the most sense. Read a few of them out loud to see if any of them click with you, kind of like the way that one quote relating to a Futurama episode clicked with me.

You Tasks:

Find two meaningful statements with different intentions from Lao-Tzu’s Thoughts from the Tao Te-Ching:

Explain the meaning of each statement.
Draw multiple modern contextual connections to each statement.

Discuss the connection between both of Lao-Tzu’s statements.

Conclude with an assessment of these two statements

U.S. Foreign Policy Decision-Making

explore the process of a U.S. foreign policy decision, e.g. How did the Bush Administration make the decision to attack Iraq in 2003?

The format of the paper should be as follows:

Part one introduces the research question, provides the argument/thesis/hypothesis, and lays out the logic of the model of foreign policy analysis used in the paper.

What is the main question that you would like to examine? I would like to know if the students know and can convey clearly what it is that they are trying to explain.
The hypothesis should be a concise, clear, and effective summary of the main argument of the paper. Since your paper is designed to respond to a specific question, your hypothesis should contain the succinct but complete answer to that question. If I have to wonder what the thesis is, or where the thesis is, then the thesis is not strong and clear.
Finally, the assumptions and claims of the model of foreign policy decision-making used in the paper should be laid down clearly and concisely (refer to Decision Point for a summary of each model of foreign policy analysis).

Political freedom and cultural diversity

New York City has played an oversized role in Puerto Rican affairs. As the major U.S. port on the East Coast for the Caribbean, the City and the Island were intimately linked since the early part of the 19th Century. Since the latter part of the 19th Century New York became home for a large Puerto Rican population who migrated here looking for better opportunities, political freedom and cultural diversity. In 800-words answer the following question: What has been the impact of New York in the development of early twentieth century Puerto Rican music?

In your answer evaluate and explain the impact. The question is open and you may take it anywhere, however, be sure that your answer is based on the three required readings (Acosta, plus the two chapters from Glasser’s book).
