A longstanding debate over Machiavelli rests on his place as a major intellectual of the Renaissance. With that in mind, answer one of these questions in the form of a short paper:1) What are the characteristics of a “Good Prince” according the Machiavelli?2) Is Machiavelli a Humanist?Create a typed response between 300 and 400 words, which answers one of these particular questions fully. Include the word count on the last line of your paper. Be sure to use specific examples from the readings. You must include specific quotes from Machiavelli.If you do not include specific examples or do not reach the word limit, you will not receive full points on the assignment. Do not repeat the question, but instead incorporate it into your answer. Avoid being overly vague with your examples and be sure, again, to make use of the readings. For quotations, note the page number and author (when available).You will be submitting your paper through Canvas, through the assignment link. You must upload your paper to this link before the end of the day Saturday (11:59 pm). I will grade your papers through the link, and you should be able to see my comments within a few days of submission.

Discussion 3: The Statue of LibertyNo unread replies. No replies.The Statue of Liberty has a plaque that says: “Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to be free.  The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.  Send them, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.  I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”Is this welcoming attitude still appropriate in today’s America?

After selecting a historical topic to research further, the next step in the research process is to create a research plan that compiles primary and secondary sources.(The topic is South African Apartheid)First, applying what you just learned about narrowing research questions, revise your research questions from your Topic Exploration Worksheet.(see attached, and please revise everything for improvements)Explain how you approached revising your research questions to assist your instructor in understanding your approach. This will help you draft an introduction to a hypothetical research paper with a strong thesis statement.Finally, applying what you have learned about comparing primary sources and analyzing secondary sources, do a deeper dive into the primary sources you listed in Part 3 of your Topic Exploration Worksheet to help you start your research plan. Describe what these sources add to your understanding of your selected topic.The feedback you receive from this assignment should be implemented as you work towards your Research Plan and Introduction for Project 3. (see attached for feedbacks)To complete this assignment, complete the Research Plan Preparation Worksheet Word Document. (see attached)

forum “2” – David Grossman: Individual Language and Mass LanguageIn Grossman’s essay “Individual Language and Mass Language” in Writing in the Dark it is important to think on such citations:“And perhaps, then, this is the great question that people living in this age must relentlessly ask themselves: In what state, at which moment, do I become part of the faceless crowd, ‘the masses’ ?” (79)“A good book – and there are not many, because literature too, of course, is subject to the seductions and obstacles of mass media – individualizes and extracts the single reader out of the masses. It gives him an opportunity to feel how spiritual contents, memories, and existential possibilities can float up and rise from within him, from unfamiliar places, and they are his alone. The fruits of his personality alone. The result of his most intimate refinements. And in the mass culture of daily life, in the overall pollution of our consciousness, it is so difficult for these soulful contents to emerge from the inner depths and be animated.” (83)“At its best, literature can be kind to us: it can slightly allay our sense of insult at the dehumanization that results from living in large, anonymous global societies. The insult of describing ourselves in coarse language, in clichés, in generalizations, and stereotypes. The result of our becoming – as Herbert Marcuse said – ‘one-dimensional man’.” (83-4)In light of these citations, what is of utmost importance in how Grossman is distinguishing between individual and mass language? Analyze and interpret this further in regard to at least one of the following ideas or issues: intimacy, consciousness, imagination, and nationalism.  In the context of your post, refer us to at least one citation from Grossman’s essay that further embellishes or illuminates your analysis and briefly interpret the connection and importance of your chosen citation. Finally, how is this problem of language entwined in the Middle East conflict?

For the following questions 1-3, choose two of them and write 5 pages for each of the two questions you choose. That is total of 10 pages.Question #1:Choose TWO legal cases from the following list. Discuss the role of “race” in how these specific legal cases were argued, defended, and concretized into law.  How did the legal frameworks and court systems define, incorporate, and actualize “race” as it affected APAs?  Do you see how this history (from these two specific cases) still have an effect on APAs today (in 2020)?People v. Hall*Yick Wo v. Hopkins*Chae Chan Ping v. United States*Fong Yue Ting v. United States*United States v. Wong Kim Ark*Wong Wing v. United States*United States v. Ju Toy*Yamataya v. Fisher*Tape v. Hurley*Oyama v. California*Sei Fujii v. California*Gong Lum v. Rice*Ozawa v. United States*United States v. Thind*Hirabayashi v. United States*Korematsu v. United StatesQuestion #2Terms have layers of social meaning, historical contexts, and political orientation.  It’s not a matter of just being “politically correct” or “politically incorrect.”  It’s about conveying a worldview and theoretical framework, whether you were aware of it or not. . .What does the term “Oriental” sociohistorically signify?  How has it been employed and applied to Asian Americans?  How have Pacific Islanders figured into this label and social reality? What role has “race” and the “racialization process” played in contributing to the proliferation of this label and all of the layers of social meanings attached to this term.Question #3Professor Sucheng Chan of UC Santa Barbara (historian and political scientist) has argued that Asian Americans are perhaps “the most legally discriminated against group in the U.S.”    On the surface and simply understood, it might just mean that Asian Americans have been the “most mistreated.”  This statement is much deeper.  After having read the history of AAPIs, seen the legal cases and laws constructed against AAPIs, develop an essay that either supports or rejects Professor Chan’s thesis.  Before you can do this, however, you must deconstruct and explain what “the most legally discriminated against” group means.  (It doesn’t have to be what Dr. Chan means, but how you would offer an analysis of what this might mean.)
