Choose one question set and respond to it. In your response, I am looking to see if you can do the following: (1) articulate a clear response/opinion/claim; (2) show an understanding of the issue by explaining/defining the topic/problem; (3) engage the topic through discussions that incorporate sources (using properly cited quotes); and (4) display a writing style that is articulate and college level with regard to grammar and mechanics.
Remember: research your position and try to use as-academic-as-possible sources. In other words, you can argue any arguable position. However, in academic writing, our positions must be supported with facts and credible sources. Also, first person is okay, but try to remain academic in your tone and style.
1)Is our nation currently in a state of civil war? If so, what are we fighting about? What are the sides that you observe and what are the issues? If the war is currently rhetorical, will it escalate toward violence, not just protests but actual battles? Are we repeating our own history of the nineteenth century? If you dont see a civil war (if that label is hyperbole), then how do you understand and frame the current division (and violence) in our nation? You can answer this question set by either taking a side or by viewing things as a journalist/historian and report on things as objectively as you can.
2)In the aftermath of George Floyds death, our nation faced a social reckoning with the issue of racism. Given the BLM movement, Critical Race Theory, and the 1619 Project, how is our nation still dealing with the issue of race? Are our social systems, whether by design or practice, inherently racist? If so, how do we change them? If not, why does racism remain a problem? How do we solve the problems associated with racism? Or, if possible, how do we solve racism itself?
3)Our government recently released a report on UFOs and the report was unable to determine the cause or origin of more than one hundred and forty UFO sightings. Thus, the question remains as to how we can explain the appearance of UFOs. Accordingly, in recent years scientists have discovered many habitable worlds and more information about the realities of space, which by current estimates, is 13.8 billion years old and measures about 46.1 billion light years in all directions (which is almost incomprehensible, given that it takes us about nine months just to reach Mars). So, is humanity ready for such knowledge? Are we ready for first contact with alien life? Are we ready to not just learn more about space, but to travel through it? Are we ready to exist beyond what we think we know about our existence?
