Political Science

Instructions

In an 8 page paper, please address these questions in their entirety. Merely answering each question in isolation from one another is insufficient for full credit. What I expect from you is for you to form a thesis that binds your thoughts together, and for you to incorporate the course material into your essay. The paper should be 8 pages, double-spaced, with 1 inch margins, 12 point font, and a widely used font (no odd fonts that either decrease or increase your paper’s length) Times New Roman, Calibiri, Arial are all appropriate. 

 Questions: Select a Biden administration policy and give a reasoned defense of that policy. What are the potential positive externalities/consequences of the policy? Why would such a policy be needed? How does the selected policy affect Nevada? Take the same policy and give a reasoned criticism of the policy. What are the potential negative externalities/consequences of the policy? What would a better alternative policy be? What would the negative externalities of your alternative policy be? 

 The following topics may NOT be written about: Gun Control, Gay Marriage, Marijuana, and Abortion. 

 You must cite all sources used for this paper, and I strongly encourage you to use relevant and vetted sources to both learn about your topic, and as sources to support your analysis. Wikipedia is an excellent starting point to learn about any topic, but it has no place in an academic paper. Any use of Wikipedia, the dictionary, or Sparknotes as a source will result in your paper being graded down. Further, any plagiarism will result in a failing grade for the course.
