read 2 chapters and write five paragraph paper

Instructions:

1) Everyone must do all V parts.

2) Number your responses.There must be Arabic numerals under the Roman numerals.At the beginning of each Arabic numeral, include the task you must perform as stated.

3) You will receive credit for each section – depending on whether you have addressed the task and how well you addressed it.You definitely need to cover the basic and central issues and then expand onto secondary issues.Your responses must be precise enough to address the specific tasks (of course, your response can be so general that it will cover many questions – but that will not receive credit).You must be through and exhaustive, within reason – your responses must not be so inappropriately general that you will receive “explain” in the comments from me.

4) No specified length for the sections – but I am expecting about a paragraph of well-constructed and complete sentences.

5) You must demonstrate the knowledge of the articles and the discussions we had.This paper cannot be written by someone who has not read the material and is simply supplying common-sense answers that anyone would give.

I.On Ch. 9. “… Democracy demands … imperatives…. people must be exposed to materials that they would not have chosen in advance and come across views that they would not have have previously selected or even agreed with.”

1) Explain the diversity imperative above.(Your answers must not be so general that they apply to many things and it is not clear that you are answering the specific question.Perhaps, give examples, if your more general answer could use clarification.Use the book and expand upon what you find there to show mastery of the subject matter.)Respond to each letter separately.

a) Why is it important for persons as individuals?(Do not provide generalities but explain how.)

b) Why is it important for persons as members of a democracy?(Do not provide generalities but explain how.)
