World History Assignment 03: Will there be a revolution November 5th?

We’ve been talking a lot about the idea of the Social Contract theory and how it was applied during the enlightenment. Locke and ”Monty” had one view, and Hobbes had very different view of it.

Now we’ll time travel forward several weeks to November 5th– the day after the Presidential Election. The papers, news programs and internet will be abuzz with information about the winner (and loser) and  Republicans and Democrats alike are going to try to use the results of the election to justify one thing or the other.

World History Assignment 01: Detecting Bias, Propaganda….

This assignment is due by Tuesday September 16th, 2:30 PM.
