- Can democracy produce detrimental results? Would it be worth scrapping the democratic process in favor of something else if it could guarantee social progress?
In your essay, consider the following: Can we expect our fellow citizens to vote and act in rational and intelligent ways? Or, is a system of massive political participation a danger to the human species and the world? Conversely, does a small ruling elite pose many of the same dangers? Do we need inequalities (natural or economic) to ensure the flourishing of humankind? Or, is some kind of inequality a social necessity? Consider also how inequality can be corrosive to democracies.

These papers are supposed to be analytic papers and NOT opinion pieces or book reviews. You are not simply to summarize readings or give your opinion about the readings but rather to provide an argument and take a position. The student should be sure to provide a clear, concise, and coherent argument for the position they take and not engage in demagoguery or political activist grandstanding. The reader will not care about the student’s political views or which positions s/he takes, but rather how well that position is argued. Finally, all papers should cite properly. APA or Chicago style is usually appropriate for the humanities and social sciences but any recognized style will do.
papers should be 7 pages.
