In what ways are Webers views relevant today, nearly a century after they were delivered?
First, explain to your reader the principles Antigone and Creon stand for. That is, find places in the play where Antigone upholds the rights of the individual to live by her own personal, religious, and family values. Then show how these values are opposed by the public, civic, and social concerns voiced by Creon, who holds that a government has a right to assert its authority and demand loyalty from its citizens. Next, show how this conflict of ideals is further complicated by personal feelings, not the least of which is each one’s pride. Identify places in the play where we see, for example, Creon stating his belief that Antigone’s actions and words make her an ungovernable young woman. Show us things he says and does
that let us know Creon thinks Antigone is disobedient and rebellious, and if he does not control her, not only she will become a threat to (what Creon believes is) a man’s rightful authority over family and society, but he, Creon, will lose face. Also show your reader Antigones personal stake in the argument – how as a woman
who has just entered into adulthood and has become the moral anchor of her family, she refuses to be dictated to (among other possible reasons because of her royal status). You must use examples from the text, but keep these brief and concentrate on your explanations. To cite the text, just place the line numbers in parentheses at the end of your quotation. Example: Your quotation here (771)
For this assignment, I’d like you to review the section in Chapter 5 that discusses “political socialization”. Political socialization is the fancy schmancy term we political scientists use to refer to the factors that influence the development of our individual political ideology. Babies aren’t born Democratic or Republican, liberal or conservative! Lots of things, from family to gender to race to religion to what part of the country you grow up in can influence you. After you read the material, think about your own political ideology, then write a short paper (2-3 pages) in which you:Make sure you explain WHY and HOW these “agents of socialization” impacted you.
Indicate whether or not your experience is in alignment with what the textbook says what does the textbook say, and does your experience fit with what is in the book? If not, why not?

First, you will analyze the background of your congressional district and your U.S. Representative. Second, you will analyze the political background of your state and 1 of your U.S. Senators. You may choose which senator to study; however, if one senator is newly elected and does not have interest group ratings, study the other one. Note that these are United States Representatives and Senators. Do not use members of your state legislature.Begin by reviewing the presentation on Becoming an Informed Voter. The example of Congressman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia is used. If you live in the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia, you will have to adopt another Virginia congressional district as your temporary home and write about that one, since you have already been given some of the information on Bob Goodlatte. If you have a newly elected representative who has not yet received interest group ratings, get the interest group ratings of a representative from a neighboring district.After reviewing the presentation, the first part will deal with your congressional district and congressman; the second part will deal with your state and senator. As explained in the presentation, interest group scores may be found at Vote Smart.A helpful source to find information for this paper is The Almanac of American Politics by Richard E. Cohen and James A. Barnes.

How has your state and congressional district voted in recent presidential and congressional elections?
Can your district or state be considered to be leaning Republican or Democrat?
Are the political parties relatively even, or does one party dominate the elections?
How did your representative and senator come to power? (Thoroughly describe their backgrounds.)
How do the interest groups (ADA, ACLU, ACU, CC or FRC) rate your representative and senator? (Note: If the Christian Coalition score is not available, you may substitute the Family Research Council score. Include the exact scores from each of these groups. The rationale for this is explained in the presentation.)
Based on these ratings, would you classify your representative and senator as conservative or liberal? Justify your answer.Do not submit your paper in the form of a series of questions and answers. Organize this information into a standard research paper (paragraph form with level headings) utilizing the specified Course Style Guidelines format. Consult the grading rubric to make sure that all the necessary information has been included.
If you wish, you may use the headings suggested in the Week 2 worksheet (available on moodle) i.e. What is the proposed research idea; your research question The main subareas/sub-questions that the research will explore Proposed outcomes from the project (e.g. an overview of policy in the area; assessment of how effective the policy is; recommendations for changes to the policy etc).
