Essay Instructions: Hi, I am Nicky Goundas from Berlin. I am a student at university at the compartment of North-Americanism. I attended a seminar on the political field. The seminar was called "Readings in American Politics and Government".
We have read excerpts from books (99% of a liberal view), for example:
1. Frances F. Piven "Why Americans still don't vote, and why politicians want it that way."
2. Seymour Martin Lipset "American Exceptionalism- A double edged sword."
3. Wright C. Mills "The Power Elite".
4. Michael Parenti "Democracy for the few".
5. George W. Domhoff "Who rules America now?"
6. E.J.Dionne "Why Americans hate politics."
7. Eric Alterman "What Liberal Media? The truth about bias and the news."
8. Barbara Ehrenreich "Nickel and Dimed. On (not) getting by in America."

These were a few examples- not all the books. After reading them we have discussed about each book in class and have written a few summaries and book reviews at home.

Now we have to write an essay of ten pages on the topic we like, as long as it has something to do with the content of the seminar.

So I guess it could to be something about federal democracy and in which extend democracy is part of our everyday life.
It would be useful to have a thesis/question on top of the essay. For instance: "In what extend did the event of 9/11 and the measures taken after it (laws etc.) effect the democratic state of the United States of America?" Following this thesis/question the essay should be argumentative. In the beginning an introduction, followed by a main part/body and ending with a conclusion. This I think should be the structure of the essay. The question on top was just an example. The author can choose the topic he prefers the most, as long as it stays in the framework of the seminar. It should be a current topic though.

About the writing style I don't really know the differences between MLA, APA etc. Here in Europe we don't really have these differences. I think MLA comes close to how we write.

Further I would like the author uses 6-7 sources (maximum 1 of the 6-7 can be an internet source) and footnotes.

Before the author begins writing the essay I would appreciate it, if he could contact me to tell me what he is going to write about.

For any more information or question I will contact you. Please inform me if there is a special mail-address I should write to.

Thanks alot for helping me out!!

Best regards
Nicky Goundas from a cold Berlin

Essay Instructions: Different cultures have different values and reconciling these values is one of the most frustrating elements of foreign policy. Understanding and evaluating values is extremely important when it comes to influencing the conduct of a nation’s affairs. Even amongst cultures that share the majority of their values, such as the United States and the countries of Western Europe, there may be differences of opinion regarding the relative importance of particular values. In November, 2011, the Pew Research Center conducted a poll based on American and Western European values.

After reading American Exceptionalism Subsides: The American-Western European Values Gap (http://www.pewglobal.org/2011/11/17/the-american-western-european-values-gap/), appraise the values of Europe and the U.S. when it comes to the following components:

the utilization of military
whether they should be engaged with and provide assistance to other countries or be isolated from other countries
their beliefs about being a superior culture
political beliefs, individualism, or the role of the state
the role of religion
beliefs about homosexuality

The paper must be three pages in length and formatted according to APA style.

You must use at least five scholarly resources (at least two of which can be found in the Ashford Online Library) other than the textbook to support your claims and subclaims.


Cite your resources in text and on the reference page. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
