(TCO 2) As we have been
discussing, throughout history, many people were not fans of pure
democracy. One of the reasons for this was the idea of factions, as
addressed in Madison’s Federalist No. 10. So what is the definition of a
faction?

threat to a democratic government?

nature that causes factions to form?

argument. Do you find that a republican form of government is the best way
to control factions, in contrast to pure democracy? And how do you think
this system has worked in controlling the factions over time?

POLI 330 Week 5 TCO Assessment
(TCO 4) What are your initial,
nonlegal, thoughts on this case? How would you decide it based on your own
belief structures? For example, if you were the judge in this case, would
you would allow Mr. Trident to leave the hospital, thus bringing about his
death? Or would you feel for Mr. Trident but side with the hospital because
he clearly is not in the right mind to make such decisions for himself? Or
would you perhaps side with the hospital because people should not be
allowed to refuse medical treatment or go to the extreme of ordering the
hospital to aid in the shortening of his life so that he did not have to
suffer a painful death? What would you do? Please put some thought into
your answer and provide at least 4–5 sentences as you explain it.
|
|
(TCO 4) What is the difference
between moral and legal reasoning?

POLI 330 Week 7 TCO Assessment
(TCO 9) As the simulation shows,
Muhammed’s father was killed by the Israelis in their war of independence,
as they attempted to defend their state and enforce the boundaries
established by the UN. Although this was an international decree, all
Muhammed witnessed was his father’s death and the loss of his family home
as the land of his forefathers was taken to make room for what many
Palestinians viewed as the “occupiers.” If you were him, how would you
react? For example, would you blame the Israelis for hurting your father
and taking your land, and then pass on this hatred to your children so they
would know never to trust the Israelis? Would you seek revenge for your
family and people? Or is there a chance that you would accept the new
conditions of the UN resolution because it was in the best interest of the
people of the world? What about simply seeking strength in your religion
and guiding your children away from the hatreds of the past in an effort to
protect them? Please put some thought into your answer and provide at least
4–5 sentences as you explain it.
|
|
(TCO 9) Within the Israeli home,
Ben knows from the horrors faced by his parents what can happen when there
is not a state of Israel in the world. He thus supports his state and will
do anything to defend its claim to this region. How does this differ from
Muhammed’s stance?
|
|
(TCO 9) What do Muhammed and Ben
have in common?
|
|
(TCO 9) Serapin and Sarah _____.
|
|
(TCO 9) Judith and Ahmed are the
youngest members of their respective families. What do they have in common?
|
|
(TCO 9) Given what you have read
and what you know about the conflicts between Israel and Palestine, what is
the likelihood that the children will continue the cycle of violence in
this land if nothing radically changes?
|
|
(TCO 9) What impact has the
violence in this land had on the legitimacy of the Israeli government?
|
|
(TCO 9) Abdullah has admittedly
committed terrorist acts against Israel. According to your text, does
