Four Kinds of Perspectives ( Copied from the textbook – Perspectives on International Relations, power-institutions-ideas, Fifth edition, by Henry R. Nau )
*Realist perspective – Emphasizing the struggle for relative power, which in turn limits the universality of what is right. It sees the world largely in terms of strong actors seeking to dominate weak ones and weak actors resisting strong ones to preserve their interests and independence. Realist scholars writing about the past do not tell the whole story.
*Liberal perspective – Emphasizing relationships and interdependence among actors in international affairs, how a group interacts communicate, negotiate, and trade with one another.
*Identity perspective – Emphasizing the importance of ideas that define the identities of actors and motivate (cause) their use of power and negotiations in international affairs.
*Critical theory perspective – Such as Marxism, emphasizing the deeper material forces propelling history toward its predetermined end. In the case of Marxism, the predetermined end is communism. In other instances of critical theory, it might be the emancipation of marginalized voices of simply deconstruction of all power relationships. Critical theories remind us that attempts to understand history through perspectives are always selective and, therefore, biased. Social forces are holistic. They drive social science researchers no less than do the political, economic, and military events that researchers try selectively to understand. These materials make people skeptical of all effects to select and emphasize specific factors to understand international relations, whether power or identity factors. Critical theories, on the other hand, face a comparable limitation. Even though they insist on studying history as a whole, not by selecting and focusing on specific hypotheses, they have to concede that they can ever tell us the whole story of history. Critical theory can tell us the story of history only from the social vantage point of a particular critical theory scholar.

Drama Paper

Read Death of a Salesman by Miller (1199) and 0ne of the other plays in the textbook: The Emperor Jones by O’Neill (786), Trifles (775), The Sandbox (1372), or Portrait of a Madonna (1125). The Emperor Jones has the most in common with Death of a Salesman, but one of the characters uses a lot of objectionable language. You may choose one of the other plays, if you prefer.

Write a paper comparing and contrasting the two plays on the following elements: central idea, character, conflict, setting, and tone. Write one paragraph on each element. Paragraphs 1 and 6 should be approximately 75-100 words each. Paragraphs 2, 3, 4, and 5 should be about 200 words each. The specified content should be clearly and carefully covered.

AVOIDING PLAGIARISM: USE IN-TEXT CITATIONS (MLA STYLE) FOR QUOTATIONS FROM THE TEXTBOOK (THE PLAY AND THE INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION). (PAGE NUMBER ONLY GOES IN PARENTHESES AFTER THE QUOTATION AND BEFORE THE PERIOD FOR SENTENCE.) USE QUOTATION MARKS EVEN IF YOU JUST BORROW 3-4 WORDS. THIS IS SUFFICIENT FOR THIS PAPER UNLESS YOU ALSO USE A SECONDARY SOURCE. CONSULT A HANDBOOK IF YOU USE A SOURCE OTHER THAN THE TEXTBOOK.

The ACC library website has the MLA forms and information:
http://library.austincc.edu/help/MLA

YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE SECONDARY SOURCES ON THIS PAPER. IT IS BEST NOT TO USE OUTSIDE SOURCES SINCE IT IS EASY TO MAKE MISTAKES IN DOCUMENTING THEM. IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THEM, YOU MUST CORRECTLY DOCUMENT ALL BORROWED INFORMATION (BOTH DIRECT QUOTATIONS, using quotation marks even if the quotations are only 3-4 words long, AND PARAPHRASES). CONSULT A HANDBOOK FOR CORRECT DOCUMENTATION (MLA STYLE).

IF YOU READ ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLAYS, YOU NEED TO LIST THAT SOURCE ON A WORKS CITED PAGE AND CORRECTLY GIVE CREDIT FOR ANY BORROWED INFORMATION WITH IN-TEXT CITATIONS.

1. In the introduction, mention the titles of the plays and the names of the author(s). For each play, state the central idea in a complete statement. Also include a few comments about the plays that will get the reader’s attention. Do not summarize the plays since two summaries would make this introduction too long. The paragraph should be no more than 150 words long.

2. Using alternation of detail (going back and forth between the two stories throughout each paragraph), compare and contrast the two plays on each of the elements listed below. Do not just discuss one play in the first half of the paragraph and the other story in the second half. Interweave your discussion of the two plays. Develop separate paragraphs on each of the following elements, emphasizing similarities and differences. Your discussion must include, but not be limited to the aspects mentioned.

a. Character: Identify the central character of each play.

b. Conflict: Identify the two opposing forces in the central conflict of each play and state whether each conflict is internal or external.

c. Setting: Indicate the time (year) and the place (geography) of the play.

d. Tone: Indicate how the author seems to feel about the subject matter of the play.

3. Have a brief concluding paragraph.

4. Write 1000 words or more. At 1east 700 of these should be in the body paragraphs.

5. Proofread your paper. It must be free of major mechanical errors (run-ons, incomplete sentences, verb errors) and have no more than a few minor errors.

Part I: How do jails and prisons differ? What are the purposes/roles/functions of jail and prison? Using the chapter PowerPoints and the internet, compare and contrast the Auburn (New York) and Pennsylvania prison systems. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each in detail. Which prison system do you agree with the most and why?

Part II Discuss the challenges of a steadily growing elderly inmate population. Determine the causes of the sharp rise of incarcerated people in this age group. Discuss some reasonable solutions to this problem.

Part III: What educational programs should be offered to inmates while they are awaiting their release? Many institutions are eliminating programs due to budgetary restrictions. Will this impact the day to day operations of the prison? Will it impact the inmate once they are released? What is the maximum amount of education that an inmate should be able to receive? Do those outside of the prison walls understand the role education programs have on society?
