Memo: The Creation of your Emerging Political Ideology
From: cpf
To: Farrow’s class of radically conservative politically motivated liberally minded students—December 17, 2006
Due date: January 17, 2007
Introduction: Basically you are being afforded the opportunity to create your own political manifesto [note: for some of you, perhaps the majority of you guys, this may very well be the only time in your life where you will be given this kind of opportunity, carpe diem!]. There are many famous (and infamous) political manifestos, like Thomas Aquinas’ classic work on Just War Doctrine, John Locke's work on Civil Rights and Hitler’s ominously sick, albeit prophetic Mein Kampf, that have been written throughout history. May be your work will one day join this elite group…Basically the work should include three segments, plus introductory and concluding paragraphs. The idea is to start with a review of one’s basic core-values, then transition into how these core-values have influenced ones fundamental notions about the role of government regarding four basic areas—War, Education, Civil Liberties, and Equality. In your writing make sure and use the political lexicon that you have developed over the last few months.
In the first segment, you will comment on your three basic core values and how the 4 E’s have influenced the development and refinement of those core values. In the second segment, you build or extend the breadth of your work by addressing how these three core-values have influenced your broad political attitudes towards 1.)WAR, under what circumstances should we commit to war; 2.) EDUCATION & the role government should play in our formalized education; 3.) Civil Liberties versus homeland Security; and 4.) Equality of Outcome versus Equality of Opportunity and the role government should play in equality. Finally in the third segment, having built up a core political ideology or guidepost in second segment, apply this “emerging political ideology” to the following four Top political news stories: 1.) The War in Iraq; 2.) Government’s role in dealing with Global Warming; 3.) US Government’s role in providing affordable health care; 4.) Our roles and responsibilities as the world leader.
Note: We will go over this visionary opportunity next week on Monday and Tuesday
