Short Paper #3: 500 (min)-600 (max) words; 12.5 points.
Prompt: Write a short paper on Machiavelli’s thesis and its relevance today.
Critically evaluate Machiavelli’s thesis that the on-going struggle between elites (patricians) and common people (plebians) and the periodic tumult of the people are indispensable for preserving republican liberties, institutions, and solidarities against the predations and transgressions of the elites. This thesis is primarily based on Machiavelli’s reading (via Livy) of the history of the Roman Republic and is drawn from practical experience with the Italian city-republics of his time (review Skinner’s essay).
On the other hand, it is conceivable, as attested by the history of the Roman Republic (review the slide on the Lessons of the Roman Republic), that the constant struggle between elites and masses paves the way for the emergence of an authoritarian figure (often popular), who promises to end civil strife and to ensure peace and stability, leading to a weakening, if not the end, of republican liberties and self-rule. (Please note that Machiavelli was aware of this danger, but it is not discussed in the reading assigned to you)
What do you make of these two contradictory propositions and possibilities (outcomes)? Is there any way of managing the conflict between elites and common people that can avoid the emergence of an authoritarian figure or solution? Does this problem/challenge resonate with and relate to our experience of democratic crisis today?
Descriiptive Part of Assignment: Please give a descriiptive/analytic summary of the two propositions (paragraph 1 and 2 of the prompt). To complete this part of the assignment, draw on the assigned readings by Machiavelli and essay by Skinner, on The Italian City-Republics.
Interpretive Part of Assignment: Here, you should address the questions posed in paragraph 3 in the prompt and answer them to the best of your ability drawing on class lectures in which those questions have been a recurrent theme since the beginning of the course.

For the purpose of this assignment, you need to do two things. First, watch the movie Lion. You may either watch it here, in the Canvas learning environment, or you may find it, check it out, rent it (digitally), etc, on a device or platform of your choosing.
After watching the film, go back to chapter 9 of our text and respond to each prompt below.
1. First, identify at least 5 concepts presented in chapter 9 that you believe were “at play” in the film.
a. Name the concept and explain it using your own words do not cut and paste the text definition.
b. After defining the concept, explain how it “works” in real life.
c. Explain how you believe the concept “worked” in the film by identifying specific scenes the concept was “at play” – what happened, who was involved, what were they doing, and how it demonstrates the concept. Be clear – discuss the specific scene, how far it was into the film, and how this concept impacted the story and your understanding of it.
2. Share at least three connections from three different chapters between chapters 2 through 8 at play in the movie (using the same criteria as above).
3. Proof-read your paper for errors, etc.
Choose any media artifact that interests you – this could be a movie, a TV show
Choose any media artifact that interests you – this could be a movie, a TV show episode, a viral social media post, an advertisement, a song, a meme, and so on. Analyze this artifact informally using one of the theoretical concepts we’ve discussed in class. Your goal is to connect the media piece to the theory in a way that feels personal and insightful, without the need for formal academic sources.
After World War II, The United States never stepped down from its military mobil
After World War II, The United States never stepped down from its military mobilization, leading President Eisenhower, a war
hero General himself, to warn the public about the hegemony and entrenchment of the military industrial complex. It is little wonder,
then, that the methods of propaganda have continued to inform politics and support political candidates, in the United States and
beyond. From the perspective of people who considers themselves sophisticated consumers of discourse, the propaganda of authoritarian
states can seem almost comic, despite the rhetorical violence, because it is often so obvious and crude. However, even the most
sophisticated campaigns for candidates and issues in the United States uses elements of propaganda, including, of course, a grab bag of
American commonplaces! It is Morning in America, for the Man from Hope, or it is time to Make America Great Again?
For the second Image Analysis, select three related examples of political propaganda with a strong visual aspect. One way to
proceed is to gather three examples from the same campaign or supporting the same candidate, issue or regime. However, you may find
other patterns of connection: for instance, President Reagan is not alone from using the “morning” motif to suggest a new beginning;
tracing this strand in American politics would be intriguing. You may also find different examples from a single person or issue over a
span of time: for instance, how has “pro-gun-rights” political propaganda changed in recent years? As you develop your analysis, this is a
good opportunity to consider a question without an easy answer: when does advertising or public relations seep over into propaganda?
Are their lines that can be drawn, or is this more of a continuum? Are their qualities that establish certain motifs or ways of arguing as
propaganda that are beyond the usual political campaigns? The prompt for this paper is the same as in the first analysis paper, but for
political propaganda, rather than war. Build your critical acumen and refine your concept of propaganda. Enjoy and impress.

Next, draft an unprofessional email to your English professor for this class. The subject is up to you. Assignment extension. Grade change? Clarity on a concept? Rant? It’s your choice. Have fun.
Use at least three of the unprofessional email habits from the article, but extra props will go to those who include more. Feel free to replicate the “To:” “CC:” “BC:” and “Subject” headings typical in email correspondence.
Although your email should be unprofessional, it should stop short of violating Nightingale’s Learner Code of Conduct.
In your responses, identify the most unprofessional aspects of your peers’ emails and make specific suggestions for revision.
