Assignment Prompt
.

PROMPT:

Imagine you are an American diplomat in 1970. You are part of a team sent to a strategic Third World country in hopes of making an alliance. Soviet diplomats have been there before you and have suggested to the leaders of this Third World country that the United States should not be trusted as a partner because of how Americans treat their own minority populations. You have been asked to provide a formal, written rebuttal to the Soviet claims.

After giving the matter some thought, you have decided to base your rebuttal on key changes in both foreign and domestic policy over the past 50 years to convince this Third World country to join with the Americans as allies in the Cold War. You realize that you cannot simply “sugarcoat” things and be believable, therefore you plan to provide a thoughtful response that does admit inequities in American society in addition to discussing ongoing changes and positive policies.

Note 1: Successful responses will consider a broad range of evidence in support of arguments. Take a few moments to consider how you would respond by making a list of both “good” and “bad” aspects of American society and policy. When looking at the “good,” ask yourself why they are good for the purposes of this rebuttal, how would non-Americans perceive things? When looking at the “bad” (which is what the Soviets used against us in the Cold War, as well as the Nazis in WWII, as propaganda), consider change over time. Are there groups working toward ameliorating the bad? Are public policy changes taking place, even if at a slow pace? Or is nothing being done? Admitting injustices while discussing efforts at reform may be enough to sway someone to your side.

One way to organize would be along the lines of first discussing domestic socio-economic issues, followed by domestic political issues, and finally foreign policies in the era under discussion. Remember that each of these elements of the overall argument would have its own paragraph and thesis (the rule of three)

Note 2: This is a real-life situation, there was a fight for the hearts and minds of the world. The Cold War is an ideological (and sometimes hot) battle over two socio-economic/political systems and 1970 is in the heart of the Cold War. Who will be the victor was not yet clear. Most of the Third World nations courted by the United States were not European, therefore how the US treated minorities would be a cause for concern. But these nations would also have very real geopolitical considerations beyond American domestic policy to consider. The Soviet propaganda was meant as a wedge. Also remember that no nation or society is perfect, that is not what you are arguing here. In your persona as a diplomat from 1970, you are giving an honest assessment of the US, warts and all, in hopes of gaining an ally.

THE “RULE OF THREE”
.

You will need to use an analytical writing style in this class. The basic form of analytical writing utilizes the “Rule of Three.” Simply, there should be at least three key points/pieces of evidence in a piece of writing introduced by a strong clear thesis.

This is a 2-3 page essay length assignment. Your paper should begin with an Introduction which sets the prompt in the historical context, the LAST sentence of the intro paragraph is the thesis statement which lists the (minimum of) three points (X,Y,Z) that will be more fully developed in the paper. The first paragraph of the body (paragraph 2) would discuss key point X (this paragraph would have its own thesis as the first sentence, followed by three pieces of evidence/analysis in support), then a paragraph on Y, and finally one on Z. An essay ends with a conclusion paragraph – which sums up the argument you made and ties X, Y, and Z together. The conclusion is NOT the place to introduce new arguments or evidence.

Another way of thinking about it is that an essay is comprised of three paragraphs in the body of similar composition to the one paragraph you wrote in the Reaction 1 exercise.

So Rule of Three means three key points in a thesis, a body with three paragraphs (one for each of your key points), each paragraph has a thesis supported by three key pieces of evidence. Followed by a conclusion.

Cold War
explanatory essay
The idea behind this essay is that it be thesis-driven. This is to say, the paper will be advancing an argument, a way of explaining an issue or dynamic relating to international relations. Our first step is to walk through the process of arriving at a topic, narrowing it down to a central theme and then fashioning a thesis. Broadly speaking, the thesis bit involves two critical steps: (a) the development of an interesting research question and (b) the deployment of a thesis meant to address that puzzlement.
I. Structural Considerations Title
Include two dimensions to your title. The first should be descriptive language (the paper’s subject-matter). And, the second, should refer more specifically to your main point, your thesis, your argument.
Introduction
Right at the start, we should have a statement of the topic’s importance, its relevance. You are trying here to establish the salience of the subject-matter, why it matters. In this section you can also provide a brief overview of the paper’s scope and purpose. That is to say, state the puzzle, or the question under review, and then state your thesis, your argument. (This could take place at the end of your introduction). To give emphasis to your thesis (your argument) you might put it in italics.
I. Background
Here you can provide a sense of the historical context of your subject-matter. This would be the place to introduce the main players and central issues involved. Try to be efficient with this and not allow the story- telling to dominate the paper.
II. The Puzzle
At this point, you can present the puzzle (the question) under examination. It would also be appropriate to mention some of the existing theories or approaches on this subject-matter. You are then acknowledging the literature that exists on the topic and giving brief description of the leading ways of thinking about the problem. Then, you are trying to identify “gaps” in the existing explanations and assert the need for greater clarification, which is meant to be your contribution.

III. Argument
Now we come to the case you are trying to make. At this point in the paper, three things will have already happened: (a) you’ve established the importance of the topic; (b) you’ve also provided the historical context; and (c) stated the puzzle and why a better explanation is needed. So, at this point, your thesis can be stated and elaborated upon. The burden of your paper should be devoted to the defense of your thesis, your argument. You might, in this connection, choose three themes that related to your argument and allow them to structure this section of the essay. Remember, you are not trying to tell the “story” of your topic as much as you are seeking to elaborate upon your thesis.
Conclusion
This is a place to refer back to your basic theme, the overall purpose of the paper. You might also take this opportunity to restate your thesis and its value. A few words regarding its future relevance would also be appropriate here.
II. Technical Considerations A. Sources
Your sources should be lavish. Think of them in terms of three domains of source-material (1) academic books and journal articles, (2) popular publications such as news magazines and (3) newspaper reports. The JSTOR site will be important here, as will Project Muse and a number of other aggregates available from your library service. Look also into the back issues of the New York Times, the Times of London and other publications available in your library system.
B. Style
About the style of the composition, three quick points should suffice. First, you will not need a title page, just get right to it (name, course number in upper left or right). Second, use a conventional typeface (times new roman) and standard margins. Third, in addition to your paper title, use section-headings to announce points of transition in the essay. (a single word or a short phrase that captures the essence of what is coming in the section).
C. Citations
Please use footnotes after the fashion of the Chicago Manual of Style. With regard to the footnotes, remember to put them in times new roman and bring them down to ten point font. Also, provide a bibliography.
