First, pick a current political issue and explain whether you are taking an economic or social liberal stance, or an economic or social conservative stance. Why do you think your viewpoint puts you in that group? You want to use the information that you have found in both the book and your other sources here. Take a look at Figure 1.4 in the textbook — it will really help you answer this.
Next, think about another ideological perspective on this same issue. What would someone arguing for the other side of this debate have to say about it? Is that position liberal or conservative? Refer to the information in Section 1.5 book to explain why.
Then, discuss what sort of solution can you see to the problem you have identified. You should cite or quote your articles again here, and maybe the book too. Conclude your paper by discussing the pros and cons of the liberal and conservative ways of approaching the issue you’ve chosen.
