Newspaper Article Assignment: There are many critical international issues happening in the world today that are directly related to historical events or eras we’ve discussed in this class. For this assignment you must find a recent news article (from a credible source about an UNRELATED current event (written in 2020) and write a paper about how the 2020 event relates to an event or era discussed in this class. This is not an informative paper, but rather you must use critical thinking to discuss how the current event is related to the government as we’ve discussed in class and how it differs.

Look at sources like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, BBC, Al Jazeera, France24, etc.  • Be specific. I want you to really think about your articles and your responses to them and how they fit into our course. • Avoid replacing arguments with examples. Use examples to illustrate a general claim, not as a replacement for them. Examples by themselves tend toward selection bias and hasty generalizations.  • I am interested in content, not clever rhetorical flourish. Thus, avoid filler material… DO NOT USE BLOCK QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLES OR READINGS. Direct quotes should be no longer than 1 sentence, MAXIMUM.  • IF YOU DO NOT CITE, EVEN WHEN YOU PARAPHRASE, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED PLAGIARISM. PLAGIARIZED PAPERS WILL BE PENALIED EITHER BY AN F ON THE PAPER OR THE COURSE AND WILL BE REPORTED TO THE DEAN.  • PROOFREAD YOUR PAPER.

Not less (No cover page).  • This paper must be written specifically for THIS CLASS. Any papers submitted from previous courses will automatically receive an F.

This paper is on the book “A Man of the People” by Chinua Achebe, there’s no pdf’s online for it. The book is $12, but I’d advise instead to look up a summary and find quotes from the novel online.  1. The paper should be between 10 and 12 double spaced pages. Papers that exceed the 12 page limit (or that employ tiny fonts or narrow margins to squeeze themselves under the limit) will be marked down unless the added length clearly and substantially contributes to the quality of the paper. Note that this is a very difficult standard to meet. 2. The paper should identify four scenes or plot lines in the novel and show how they illustrate particular arguments developed in the lectures and/or readings about the character of African politics and society. For each scene or plot line that you choose to discuss, you should a) summarize the characters’ dialogue, actions and the events in which they are enmeshed; b) explain what this scene or plot line captures or exemplifies about the nature of African politics or society; and c) explain and interpret the scene in terms of the theoretical arguments developed in the lectures and/or readings.
