Assignments.
. Read Chapter 13 in Porter-O’Grady & Malloch Quantum Leadership.
prepare to write the author’s ‘essential qualities of will’: courage, passion, energy, discipline, and trust. As described on page 442 in the text “reflect on a situation in which you were at your wits’ end and finally reacted [in your work]. At what moment and for what reason did you respond’? Please focus on which (if not all) of the five qualities were most present for you and use resources from the text and other literature to illustrate your analysis of your response. In other words, this is a self-reflection ,applying new concepts we are learning.

Content: Article from The Verge

Has to be a persuasive essay about some aspect of the book

Main Sources:
Aristotle – The Politics
and/or
Augustine – City of God

1.    What is justice to Aristotle?  If justice is so important, why does Aristotle treat justice so indifferently or ambiguously?

2.    How does Aristotle’s political science contend with the reality of human freedom?

3.    What does Aristotle believe that political science can teach us?  What is it that political can’t teach us?

4.    Aristotle argued that politics must be governed by the virtue of prudence.  What is prudence, exactly, and what role does it play in politics?

5.    A twentieth century student of politics has written that politics must be evaluated in the light of two considerations:  (1) Do they do justice to the latent moral resources of human nature and provide for the exploitation of ‘every latent moral capacity of human nature”? (2) Do they take into account the limitations of human nature?  Using these criteria, evaluate the work of either Aristotle or Augustine.

6.    It is often argued that there is a connection between the type of knowledge we value and the type of politics that we practice.  How is this manifested in either Augustine or Aristotle?

7.    In what ways might Augustine argue that a Christian philosophy provides for a better theoretical foundation for politics than does a classical Greek one?

Your paper should be typed, double-spaced, with 1″ margins all around.  Length of the paper is limited to 5 pages.  Your paper should properly cite sources and materials used.  Further, the paper should reference, where appropriate, course materials (what you have learned from readings/class).

Your thesis MUST make a connection between the past and the present in terms of the aspect(s) of Jim Crow that you are going to be discussing.  What conclusions can you come to about the progress (or lack of progress) that has been made since the official end of Jim Crow in 1964 in the area you are choosing to examine? What REFLECTIONS of Jim Crow do you see today or what evidence is there that the issues have been eliminated since the Jim Crow era?
•    The ANALYSIS in this paper occurs when you make connections between the past and the present by analyzing the present (give examples and explain how the examples prove that progress has or has not been made (or maybe both!)) in comparison or in contrast to the past.
