1) Using Russell Dalton’s book as the basis for analysis, you will be writing a 4-6 page (approximately 1000 -1500 words) paper on what it means to be a good citizen. Your essay should be typed, double-spaced, using 12pt font. This assignment requires you to quote and/ or paraphrase material directly from Dalton’s book, including page numbers. As a general rule, you should have at least one quote per paragraph from Dalton’s book to support the points you are making. DO NOT QUOTE FOR THE SAKE OF QUOTING. Your use of quotes must tie in with the point of the paper.
2) This assignment is worth 80 points.
Part I of your paper should address the following:
3) How does Dalton define the engaged citizen and the duty-based citizen? What are the distinctions between the two types of citizens?
5) How does participation differ between the duty-based citizen and the engaged citizen?
6) How do the older generations’ and the younger generations ‘views on certain issues, such as tolerance, differ? How does this affect their views on citizenship?
7) What conclusions does Dalton come to about millennials and good citizenship?
8) What does Dalton conclude a good citizen looks like?
Part II of your paper should address the following:
9) Using Dalton’s two definitions of a good citizen as a starting point, how would you define a good citizen? What is the difference between being simply a citizen and being a good citizen? What are the characteristics that you feel a good citizen must have? Do you consider yourself to be a good citizen? Why or why not? What could you do to be a better citizen?
FOR THE MOST PART YOU ARE WRITING A RESEARCH BASED PAPER WHICH REQUIRES THAT YOU READ DALTON’S BOOK AND CITE HIM WHEN APPROPRIATE WHEN DISCUSSING HIS IDEAS. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO USE ANY OTHER SOURCES FOR THIS PAPER.
THE SECOND PART OF THE PAPER REQUIRES THAT YOU EXPRESS AN OPINION ABOUT CITIZENSHIP.
