Write an essay that demonstrates the ways the material discussed over the course of this semester informs how we should interpret your chosen current event.

Specific Requirements:

The paper should draw on at least five of the course materials.
Your essay should be coherent and have a clear sense of purpose that connects the particular pieces you decide to discuss. Why have you identified these particular readings to discuss? What do they demonstrate? How are they relevant?
