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.
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.
