Assignment
Write
a
persuasive
essay
that
presents
your
argument
for
your
solution
to
the problem of a national
government (or leaders of a national government) that some groups of the nation
s people do not
feel represents them
.
Your
essay
may
use
personal
experiences
for
support,
bu
t
at
least
PART
of
the
support
or
elaboration
in
this
essay
must
be
drawn
from
one
of
the
essays
we
have
read
on
the
subject
of
protest and democracy
.
(Either
America Wasnt a Democracy, Until Black Americans
Made It One
or
Twitter and Tear Gas
: How Social Media Changed Protest Forever
)
Focus your efforts by choosing one of the following more specific prompts:
1.
How should people
protest against a non
–
representative government? Why might this work?
(Alternative:
A
re there forms of protest that should not b
e used? What is one? Why should it
not be used?
)
2.
When people work for change, sometimes they are only a small
subset of the group who
need change. Other times the workers are a large majority of the group who need change. Is
it better to work in small groups or to coordinate large groups? Why?
Do not simply repeat or report solution(s) suggested in your source. And do
not
do additional
research to pad your argument out as a report on other peoples solutions. The goal here is for you
to develop
your own
idea and explore it persuasively
