Final Paper: 35% of your grade
Due SUNDAY MAY 5th (by 11:59pm)
Revisit Fukuyama’s “End of History” essay and argue in favor or against its main theses. In developing your argument, make use of the semester’s readings to support your points (discuss at least 3 other authors in addition to Fukuyama).
Instructions
9-10 pgs double-space, Times New Roman 12-point font, and 1-inch margins.
Develop the answer in detail, unpacking the concepts in a nuanced manner, including the theories the authors are arguing against (when applicable), and the evidence or examples used by the authors to substantiate the claims.
Cite readings (both in the form of direct quotes and paraphrasing). Use parenthetical citations pointing to specific pages. When discussing authors, aim for at least every-other paragraph to have a citation. Citing lectures is not an acceptable replacement for citing the readings. You can use lecture notes only to guide you through the readings and in outlining the structure of your essays.
Include a works cited page. Any format is acceptable.
Your grade will be based on: the accurate reproduction of the authors’ points, the clarity of your writing (avoid vague statements!), the organization and structure of the essay, and originality.
