Based on these statistics and the central arguments made in the textbook, write a thoughtful essay (200-300 words) in which (1) you summarize the significant facts you have learned from comparing and contrasting these statistics and (2) you explain why predominantly Christian America has supported and continues to support the Jewish Israelis who do not believe in Jesus against the Muslim and Christian Palestinians who do believe in Jesus, and who are clearly the underdog (“In fact, a good case can be made that current U.S. policy conflicts with basic American values and that if the United States were to choose sides on the basis of moral considerations alone, it would back the Palestinians, not Israel”, Mearsheimer and Walt, page 80).
•Set forth why your chosen policy pathway is important
•Compare it to and contrast it with the policy it replaces
•Articulate your ideas on how to remedy the issue of corporate malfeasance
•Proffer some recommendations to the decision-maker about how to improve overall corporate governance
Please note that your prescription for change is not nearly as important as your ability to forecast potential challenges to the corporate boardroom and to predict possible ways the government could intervene to assist not only solid corporate governance, but also the interests of individual shareholders. It is recommended that you suggest at least two methods and/or policy proposals that critically address the public policy concern. Bring in facts and other data to support the policy issue addressed and make sure each fact is cited to the relevant authority. Demonstrate critical thinking by analyzing, evaluating and interpreting appropriate policy to provide original perspectives to enhance corporate legal and ethical environs.
