Choose a political conflict which involves a third party as a mediator/arbitrator.

In the 1940s two political theorists, Carl J. Friedrich and Herman Finer, debated a critical question of accountability in American public administration: whether professional norms or external controls were necessary to keep administrators accountable. In other words, how much can we rely on the laws to keep administrators in check and how much can we rely on the uniform training of our administrators? Reenact this historic debate. Which do you think is a better accountability measure, external or internal controls and/or the personal character of the administrator? How do you support your choice? As you know, the text deconstructs both of these ideas, saying that in the current policy environment neither is effective. Why is it so? What do you think is the solution to keeping administrators accountable in the twenty-first century?For more information on Political Theorists read this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_theorists

Select a topic that interests you and that affects your community directly(RGV, STC, or some other Community you consider yourself a part of).  For this essay, you will identify a problem that is affecting this community. Part of your essay will be devoted to establishing why or how this issue is a problem. Also, in a subsequent part of the essay, you will also propose a solution to the problem. Part of your essay will be devoted to discussing why the solution you have proposed is a good one. Because your essay should address both of the above purposes, your thesis should mention both parts of the essay topic in some way.Write an argumentative essay using the Classical Model that advocates a course of action to improve a problem related to your topic.  The classical model utilizes the rhetorical appeals (logos, ethos, pathos) and refutes opposing arguments (concession/refutation).Further, this is a formal, academic essay, so follow the essay conventions for academic writing–title, introduction that ends with a thesis. (Thesis may be at the end of the introductory paragraph or may be presented in a separate paragraph immediately after the introduction.) Essay must also contain well-organized, separate body paragraphs (with suitable topic sentences) that contain support for the thesis (evidence, logical argument, rhetorical appeals, etc.), transitions (at the beginning and inside body paragraphs), and a conclusion. Your essay should be at least four full pages using the MLA format (double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font, 1 inch margins, left-justified, etc.).  The tone should be formal and respectable.  The approach should view the topic honestly, fairly, and objectively.  Become aware of your own assumptions and biases, so that you can temper them or relate them in a manner that does not turn off a reader.  The goal, after all, is to PERSUADE someone who differs in opinion.Your reasons (developed in your body paragraphs) must be logically arranged.  They should be well thought-out and well-constructed.  If they are weak or flawed, they will be easily dismissed.  Your paragraphs should flow naturally, from one to the other, aided by transitional words and phrases that make it easy for the reader to keep up and avoid becoming confused.  Finally, be sure that the mechanics of your paper are strong.  Punctuation, spelling, and grammar will count.You are required to use three sources of information (evaluate the sources–the publication, the author, etc.)  When you add information from a source, you must cite correctly in the MLA format, when you quote, summarize, or paraphrase.  If you do not, you could end up Plagiarizing, which will mean a ZERO on the assignment.This paper is an ARGUMENT.  You may need to inform, but make the details part of the persuasive approach.SampleTopics (Before writing on any other topic, make sure you obtain instructor permission):Several students and/or members of their family are impacted by the current changes and potential threats to the DACA program.

Examples of this include Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Plants or the practice of “Fracking”.  While alternative and renewable energy is growing in Texas, experts argue that it may not be enough to meet the energy needs of our region or state. Is it worth the potential dangers of using these fuel extraction practices? What is the best solution to meet the economic and employment needs in our area?There is widespread distrust of the news media, and political polarization makes it difficult for opposing sides to find room to compromise.  For instance, local TV channel, KGBT, was purchased by Sinclair Broadcast Group in 2013, which has faced scrutiny for promoting a conservative and biased political agenda, Likewise, the Monitor, the Valley’s newspaper, has been criticized for it’s liberal-slanting views.  Are local news outlets biased? Is it necessary to do something to correct this problem, and if so, what should be done to address this problem?Payday loan companies are often located in poorer areas.  In the Rio Grande Valley, these companies are found in almost every city.  What services do these companies provide?  Are they helping valley residents or taking advantage of people in dire economic situations?  What solutions might be given to make sure these services operate ethically and in the best interest of citizens in the community.In the recent Covid 19 Pandemic, the RGV experienced a severe outbreak of the virus.
