The Populist and Progressive reformers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries brought about widespread changes to American politics, economics, and society. In this essay, we want you to consider the ethics and civics of the reformers. Who were these reformers? What methods did they use to further their goals through civic engagement? What ethical considerations did they take into account in pushing reforms? Note 1: Successful responses will consider a broad range of evidence in support of arguments. Take a few moments to consider how you would respond by making a list of both “ethics” and “civics” related to these reformers and reforms. Be sure to have a mixture of big/broad ideas and specific/detailed evidence in your argument. Note 2: We DO NOT want summaries. Summaries will not earn a high grade. “A papers” utilize rule of three analysis (including strong rule of three thesis statements in the introduction and each paragraph of the body), specific and detailed historical facts as evidence, analysis instead of summary, consider change over time and historical geography (as necessary in response to the prompt), and properly cite both primary and secondary sources. Note 3: Required length is 2-3 pages (introduction, 3 paragraphs of the body, conclusion). Must be in Rule of Three format with a introduction and strong thesis statement, 3 paragraphs of the body (each with their own thesis statement – one for each of the three key points of your overall thesis), and conclusion. So a minimum of 5 paragraphs. (2-3 pages) This is a fact based essay, you must provide specific and detailed evidence for your hypotheses. You must utilize a minimum of three primary sources from the assigned materials (primary sources posted in the Blackboard course module OR found under the primary source section of each chapter in American Yawp only; you may not utilize sources linked to in the reference section of American Yawp) as evidence in your essay You must utilize a minimum of three secondary sources from the assigned materials as evidence in your essay You may only use materials assigned in this course for your essay (we have vetted all the materials utilized in this course, other materials may not be appropriate or accurate). If you use outside sources your grade will be docked. DO NOT QUOTE sources, paraphrase in your own words and cite You must consider ethics/ethical decision making in this essay Don’t forget about historical geography, where something takes place matters and it may be important to your argument. You must use Turabian citation style in this essay; all citations must be footnote style citations (no parenthetical cites allowed, no endnotes/works cited at the end, you need footnotes). Be sure to review how to properly cite a primary source that may be contained in another work and be sure to use page numbers where possible. 12 pt type, 1 inch margins, double-spaced

There is a debate about the proper age at which to start regular mammogram screenings to detect breast cancer in women who do not have specific risk factors for the disease. As of 2009, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends waiting until age 50 years to begin mammogram screening for breast cancer and further recommends that screening should occur every 2 years. It also stated, however, that the final decision about the initial timing and frequency of breast cancer screening should be made by the patient and her physician. In making its recommendations, the Task Force found that physicians would need to screen 1,000 women to save 1 woman’s life and concluded that earlier and/or more frequent screening was not worth the harm associated with false positives (anxiety, unnecessary biopsies, overtreatment). Other organizations disagree with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and conclude that the lifesaving effects of more routine mammogram screening outweigh the potential harm. Thus, the American Cancer Society recommends having routine annual mammograms from age 45 to 54 years (or 40 if the patient so chooses) and then every 2 years thereafter. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends starting annual mammograms at age 40 years. The idea of comparative effectiveness research is to provide information about the value of different tools. Once that information is available, however, who should make the decisions about whether to provide coverage and reimbursement for a particular good or service? Can one objectively assess the potential harms and benefits associated with mammograms or other services or medications? Should decisions be made solely by the patient and treating provider? Does it matter if decisions affect taxpayers (for example, if a patient is covered by a government program such as Medicare or the Veterans Administration)?

Please construct a two page research outline (see the sample outline) on one subject of your choice. Say you want to do a research on “racial tensions since 2017 in the United States” and you want to find out if there were any connections between racial violence against Asian Americans (in 2017, 2018, 2019 and the first half of 2020) and Donald Trump in the White House. How are you going to conduct this research? What theories or theoretical approaches are you going to use to guide your research? What data are you going to collect? How are you going to interpret the data? How to connect what you have observed or collected as data with Donald Trump in the White House? Are these connections credible and sound? How do we know if these connections or associations are credible or sound? One way to look into is the number of racial violence cases since 2016 compared with the number under President Obama, Bush and Clinton? Who are the gunmen in the last four years? Who are the victims? What did the gunmen try to accomplish? What groups are the targets of the gunmen? Are these gunmen identifying with Bush, Obama, Clinton and Trump? What rhetoric of Presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton could have encouraged violence? What rhetoric of Donald Trump discourages or encourages violence against a particular group or groups? What’s your conclusion?

· Political Science 1119 Term Paper Topics—Summer 2020 Choose one of the topics listed below for your paper. Note that the topics indicate broadly acceptable subjects for your paper. It is up to you to address a particular aspect of the subject and to formulate your own thesis statement. Accordingly, you have wide latitude to modify the topic to suit your interest. If in doubt, contact the instructor.Due date:  MONDAY, JULY 6th. Late penalty:  Late papers will be subject to a penalty of 5 percentage points a day. Information on the format of the paper, and other matters, can be found in the document entitled “Term Paper Guidelines.”1) Much has been written about the decline of the House of Commons.   What factors have contributed to its decline?  What steps can be taken to enhance its effectiveness? 2) Why did the constitutional reform proposals of the late 1980s and early 1990s ultimately fail?  3)  Has Canada’s federal system of government become too decentralized? Discuss.  4) Provide a critical analysis of the Liberal Party of Canada or the modern (post-2003) Conservative Party of Canada. 5) Discuss the relationship between organized labour and the federal New Democratic Party. 6) Describe the new process for the selection of Senators that was introduced in 2016 by the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau.

Should Canada retain the monarchy or abolish it? 9)  Is the notwithstanding clause (Section 33) of the Charter of Rights a necessary bulwark of democracy? Discuss. TERM PAPER GUIDELINES POLITICAL SCIENCE 1119 Your paper should squarely address one of the topics set out in the list of approved term paper topics. See the document entitled “Term Paper Topics.” The paper should be 8-10 pages in length (about 1600-2000 words) using a 12-pt font size the following are some guidelines to assist you in researching and writing the paper. I. ELEMENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL PAPER Your paper will be evaluated both as a work of research and piece of composition. It will be graded (out of 30 marks) according to the following criteria: A) Organization (10/30) (1) The paper should open with an introduction which contains a concise statement of the thesis (argument) of the paper. Examples of thesis statements: “Canada’s decentralized federal system reflects the economic and cultural realities of the country. ”“The Liberal Party is a pragmatic rather than an ideological party. Its electoral success, until recently at least, can be explained primarily by its ability to adapt its policies periodically to satisfy the demands of a broad cross-section of Canadian voters.” (2) After developing the argument through a connected series of points, close the paper with a conclusion which sums up the main points and relates them to the thesis of the paper. B) Clarity (5/30) Present your points clearly and logically. Write the paper as if it were directed to a general, reasonably well-educated audience. Accordingly, be sure to define key terms (such “asymmetrical federalism” or “parliamentary sovereignty”). As the paper should be written in your own words, direct quotations should be used sparingly and only to advance or clarify your argument. C) Evidence (10/30) Support your points with research and with rational, balanced arguments. As the essay topics deal with issues that are open to a range of plausible interpretations, be sure to acknowledge important viewpoints which run contrary to your own. Briefly evaluate them before moving on to your next point. D) Style (5/30) Pay attention to grammar, spelling, and punctuation and be sure to provide references for all quotations and research sources used.  Sources must be cited with footnotes or endnotes (sometimes called “the Chicago style”) and must be listed in a separate bibliography. Do not use the MLA or APA citation format. For details on avoiding plagiarism and on the correct use of footnotes or endnotes, see Guidelines for Academic Essays (Dept. of History, Latin, and Political Science: 2004) and Library’s concise guide to the Chicago Style of citation.  For guidance on correct citation, a more comprehensive source is The Chicago Manual of Style. 17th Edition. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2017. It is available at the Reference Desk. It is also in the Reserve Book collection. II. CONDUCTING RESEARCH For those students with little or no recent experience in writing a research paper, the following is a suggested series of steps. 1) Choose a topic from the list of approved term paper topics. 2) Conduct brief research on the topic. For a preliminary list of sources, refer to the bibliographic references in the textbook and in relevant supplementary readings. Then search the library catalogue for additional materials. 3) Write a thesis statement. 4) Make an outline of the points you intend to make. 5) Start writing. You may need to conduct further research on specific points as you write your first draft. 6) Keep accurate notes of all library sources used so that you may compile a complete list of references. Avoid plagiarism! If in doubt, consult the Library tutorial entitled Avoiding Plagiarism. It explains what plagiarism is and how you can avoid committing it. See also How Not to Plagiarize, a guide produced by the Department of History, Latin, and Political Science. 7) Use at least four (4) different sources, citing appropriate passages from them through the use of footnotes or endnotes. 8) Revise and re-write your paper at least once. 9) Proof-read your final draft to avoid spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors. In addition to using the spell-check function on your computer, you may wish to ask someone to proof-read the paper. 10) Keep a back-up file of your paper in case the one on your hard drive mysteriously disappears! 11) Submit the paper through the Assignment Submission folder (under the Assessments tab) on or before MONDAY, JULY 6th. III. LIBRARY RESOURCES Library Orientation: Online Tutorials The Langara Library provides helpful tutorials on such topics as conducting research and evaluating web resources. E-Books A growing number of full-text books are now available online.  Such e-books can be accessed through the College Library site at http://site.ebrary.com/lib/langara/home.action. In the past, students had to request inter-library loans to obtain books not contained in the College’s own collection.  Inter-Library Loans This service allows students to borrow library materials from other libraries. Unfortunately, the service is not available this term for physical books owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, digital materials may be obtained by submitting an ILL request.  Web ResourcesIf your idea of online academic research is doing a Google search, or going straight to Wikipedia, think again! There are many more useful search engines and databases about which you should know.  Consult a Reference Librarian for advice—or check the College Library website.  For guidance, see the Library’s online tutorial, entitled “Can I Use This?  Evaluating Your Resources.” Please note that it is NOT acceptable to cite Wikipedia as a source!
