Requirements:
Choose one of the following essay questions. Answers can use examples from any country to illustrate a concept or argument, provided the examples are relevant.
US President Donald Trump has vowed ‘to make America great again'. He promises to end the perceived unfairness of economic outcomes, particularly by restoring working class jobs across the US that have shifted to developing countries. Can these types of policies stem the forces of Globalisation and restore national economic autonomy?
'Modern liberal-democratic governments must act favourably towards business interests'. Evaluate this claim.
Donald Trump based his US presidential bid on the claim that he was a businessman who understood the nature of business and how to resolve difficult issues by negotiating successful deals. Would you agree that governments would benefit by having more business-people in power rather than professional politicians?
In the structure of the essay, it is very important that you have a clear introduction that sets out what argument you are making and how you intend to make and support it. The body will consist of points in support of your position. The conclusion restates the arguments and offers some observations based on your research.
A minimum of 8 references is required, which should include academic sources. All material drawn from these references must be appropriately cited. Use SafeAssign (see Assessment: General Information above) if unsure.
