- Write a memo as if you were the advisor to President Biden. What social problem would you tell him to focus on as he begins his first year of the term? What is the cause of that problem, and what are some solutions he might consider?
- Keep it straightforward and clear, explaining your issue, cause, and solution. You might, perhaps, explain a theoretical point of view or all of them (functionalist, conflict, or interactionist) on the specific problem, and tell him why you are choosing that point of view.
- Keep in mind the cost/benefit practical side of politics, and how hard it is to get a consensus! It is also important to find an issue that will make the electorate listen and be willing to spend time or money to solve it. You may give him data that supports your solution or defines the problem.
- You must be persuasive and clear! Remember, he has many issues to juggle, and you are trying to convince him that YOUR problem is the one that either most people want to solve, or that will benefit the nation in the short or long-run, and get the attention of the public to get the Congress behind him.
- You must show evidence and data to help you persuade him
- Please, double-space your writing, put it in the form of a memo to your “boss”,
- 3-5 pages typed, double spaced, Times New Roman 1” margins
