Explain at least two different potential solutions to the problem you are addressing in your policy memo and compare and contrast the pros and cons of the possible solutions. Advocate for the solution that you think is best.

Assignment Question

Reflect: Students are required to produce a policy memo in which they propose a solution to a domestic policy problem. In this memo, which should be five to six pages in length, students must make an argument to a relevant national political official about how best to solve this policy conundrum. Make sure to draw from the previous assignments in this course and include an analysis of how course material relates to your topic. An A paper will address four concepts in the course and analyze how they impact the outcome of the policy. For example, if discussing gun control, an A paper might discuss how public opinion, interest groups, federalism, polarization, the demographics of Congress, and/or the media impact the likelihood of passing gun control legislation. The solution will address how one can overcome the challenges posed by these groups/things, specifically drawing from lessons learned in the textbook.

Write: For this assignment prepare your final policy paper. The structure of the paper should be as follows. Provide an introduction that explains the domestic policy problem you are addressing in your policy memo and discusses why it is important. Explain at least two different potential solutions to the problem you are addressing in your policy memo and compare and contrast the pros and cons of the possible solutions. Advocate for the solution that you think is best. This is to say that you should consider the strengths and weakness of each approach, explaining why you think one is the better policy response. Provide a conclusion that restates the thesis and summaries the main points in the paper. The paper must include a bibliography that lists each source used in either APA or MLA format. The paper must draw upon a minimum of four academic/legitimate sources (e.g., The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The American Political Science Review, Journal of Politics, etc.) The paper must be 5 – 6 pages, double spaced and typed in 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Use one-inch margins and do not use four spaces between paragraphs.

Identify the number of months where neither car holds a cost of ownership advantage. What effect would the cost of gas doubling have on the cost of ownership?

Assignment Question

Suppose you want to buy a new car and are trying to choose between two models: Model A: costs $16,500 and its gas mileage is 25 miles per gallon and its insurance is $250 per year. Model B: costs $24,500 and its gas mileage is 40 miles per gallon and its insurance is $450 per year.

If you drive approximately 40,000 miles per year and the gas costs $3 per gallon:

Find a formula for the total cost of owning Model A where the number of years you own the car is represented by x. Find a formula for the total cost of owning Model B where the number of years is the independent variable. Find the total cost for each model for the first five years. If you plan to keep the car for 4 years, which model is more economical? What about if you plan to keep it for 6 years? Find the number of years in which the total cost to keep the two cars will be the same. Identify the number of months where neither car holds a cost of ownership advantage. What effect would the cost of gas doubling have on the cost of ownership? Graph or show hand calculations. If you can sell either car for 40% of its value at any time, how does the analysis change? Graph or show hand calculations.

Analyze the way each play uses the theme or character type, individually. Determine what you think each author is doing with the theme or character type; what meaning are they making with it?

Assignment Question

The two plays: Fedra by J Nicole Brooks and Phedre by Jean Racine. You’ll use close reading and analysis to make meaning out of two plays and the issues they raise. You’ll analyze the way each play uses the theme or character type, individually. Determine what you think each author is doing with the theme or character type; what meaning are they making with it? Since this is an analysis, naturally, you want to focus mainly on the how and the why of it: how does each playwright use the theme/character? Why do you think they do so? Then, you’ll compare and contrast the two plays’ treatments: how do the plays use the theme/character similarly and how differently?

You must then account for the differences and similarities: Why does one play present a theme differently than the other? Why is the presentation of a character type so similar, despite other differences between the plays? And, most importantly, how are the play and its adaptation informed and affected by the historical periods they were written in? My notes from feedback with the professor in addition to the feedback given to me (please find attached): Find something, the medium, something that happened then and now and how they’re similar, how it has something to say about the first piece and elaborate on it. make it personal.

Read phedre by jean racine and Fedra by j Nicole brooks (in the book “contemporary plays by African American women – 10 complete works by Sandra Adell) What are the values of neoclassical France?

Who is he speaking to, who is he writing about, what is he asking them if he’s asking a question? What is the conversation here? Why would Brooks choose this play to have a conversation with Racine? Given her social historical, and political content is about as far removed from Racine’s as you can get. What’s her argument?
