This is an unusual time in American politics, and this is an unusual paper assignment. Your task is to use the readings for the course–especially those by Max Weber and by Karl Marx–to analyze the bases of support for Donald Trump’s election.
To get your “data,” you should assemble five or more articles from the sources specified below that provide evidence about the bases of support for (and perhaps opposition to) Trump. Since some of you know a lot about American politics and others know relatively little, you should rely on the specific evidence in the articles you collect, and not on your opinions or what you think you know. The goal is dispassionate sociological analysis, not advocacy or opinion.
The only sources you may use are:
The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/  (their series “The Upshot” sometimes has valuable data analysis)
The Washington Post : https://www.washingtonpost.com/ Pew Research Center: http://www.pewresearch.org/ You should search all of these web sites to select 5-10 articles or reports that give you a picture of
Trump’s base of support, his appeal, or the issues that were important to his election. If sources suggest conflicting arguments, that’s OK, as long as you make clear that there is debate about the evidence. Look at many articles to find good ones that really give you information about why Trump had enough support to win 46% of the vote and a majority of the Electoral College. You are looking for “objective” data and analysis, not just someone’s opinion.

You must analyze how Marx’s arguments might explain Trump’s support: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, “Manifesto of the Communist Party”; Marx, “The
Coming Upheaval”; and selections from The German Ideology
and how Weber’s arguments might explain Trump’s support:
Max Weber, “The Distribution of Power Within the Political Community: Class, Status, Party.”

Paper instructions:

Sociologically speaking, individuals and groups live within the constrains of social structures and practices that may open and close opportunities and distribute rations of power unevenly.  People, however, are not impotent. People have "agency" - that is, power to negotiate, challenge and change those very same social structures and practices that may be oppressive. Historically, one of the most significant means by which people have exercised their agency is by organizing collectively and forming social movements.  Write a page-long journal entry reflecting on the fundamental role that social movements have played in the identification of family violence as a social problem and in shaping policies and programs to prevent and address it.  

* To write this journal entry, you must have watched the video, read the lecture notes and completed the readings. I suggest that while you are reading, you take notes, and then select three or four main ideas or concepts that can lead your reflection.  For example, when you are reading Schechter's excerpt, there may be a phrase that catches your attention. You can quote that and write your thoughts as they relate to the guidelines of this journal entry.

Choose one of the special programs that interests you.  Please write a 5-6 page paper that analyzes the programs: history (any policies, issues or laws that pre-empted the program), current state (what is its purpose in schools today), utilization (who is intended for and why?  Is it being used that way or abused) and the future of the program (Where does it go from here?  How can it be improved?
