This assignment is a research paper of 8-10 pages including research and analysis designed to test knowledge and assimilation of the course objectives. It focuses on the effectiveness of various intelligence collection disciplines applicable to the U.S. counter-narcotics mission. The exclusive use of required texts and readings from this course is preferred, but you can use properly vetted outside resources to supplement your analysis. In this assignment, you will show that you understand and are able to evaluate the coursework.
A reading response should accomplish two primary things: first, it should summarize the text and second, it should evaluate that text. All supplemental readings take some sort of stance on a particular political issue or topic. More specifically, they try to explain some sort of political phenomenon. The authors may be right, they may be wrong, they may do a poor job of shedding light on or explaining a political phenomenon, etc. In these reading responses, you will take a position and judge these authors their interpretations the political world.

Please choose one of the topics and write a piece discussing whether you think that the policy in question is a good public policy. You are welcome to use sources to argue your point.
Question:
One of the major themes of the course this semester is focused on the ecological contradictions of American capitalism. For this essay assignment, please develop an argument as to whether or not capitalism is compatible or incompatible with the protection and preservation of the natural world. Utilizing class lectures and the required readings around externality theory and theories of technology, etc., present a clear and concise discussion of political-economic and/or sociological forces at work that are resulting in the preservation or destruction of nature. This theoretical argument should be presented in the form of a thesis. You should use examples from the class or additional materials.
It is recommended that you describe and explain a particular argument utilizing externality theory, a theory of technology, or greenwashing, etc. (or a combination of one or more). Please make your theoretical argument come alive by utilizing at least 3 real-world events provided by the lectures, readings, and/or films. In other words, what do these examples say about the larger global capitalist system? Please offer something in the way of a solution in your conclusion.
You can separate the paper into these two sections, or fully integrate the thesis, theoretical arguments, and description throughout the paper.
I will be grading you on six components:
(1) Thesis statement: The thesis is clearly stated and easily understood, and grounded in the course materials and subject matter. The thesis should not be simplistic.
(2) Theoretical Analysis and Development of Ideas: The thesis should be grounded in a theoretical argument and draw upon at least 2-3 readings from the class.
(3) Description, Details and Evidence: A rich description of the dynamics of capitalism are provided, along with relevant examples that are fully explained. At least 2-3 sources are required. All evidence and examples help to illustrate the thesis (and sub-theses) in the paper.
(4) Organization and Clarity: The paper contains a logical structure (an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion), and transitions smoothly between topics.
(5) Spelling and Grammar: There are no spelling, grammatical, or formatting efforts. Your writing should exhibit mastery of proper English mechanics through sentence variety.
(6) Citation of Sources: All data, information, and ideas are properly cited. You can use footnotes/endnotes and/or a bibliography in any standard social science format (ex: Chicago style). You can use the citation method in my book as a model, if you wish. IF YOU PLAGIARIZE THE PAPER, YOU WILL FAIL THE CLASS.
You may mix and match theoretical explanations and/or bring in additional theoretical perspectives if you wish (but this is not required). You should draw directly upon the readings assigned in the class to help build your theoretical argument. It should be a profound (or significant) argument. Be sure to offer examples to support your theoretical presentation. You may also use outside readings.
Format:
I strongly suggest that you make an outline. You are also required to cite your sources (especially quotations), and to include either a bibliography or footnotes page. The footnotes and/or bib are not counted in the minimal page requirements. PROOFREAD YOUR WORK! HARD COPIES of the papers will be due in class no later than Monday, February 24th. Late papers might not be accepted without prior approval.
