1.Describe the issue (the underlying problem) the article discusses and describe the proposed solution.

Throughout the semester, we have covered multiple facets of Middle Eastern politics, from historical legacies of colonialism, religion, security apparatuses, natural resources, identities and rivalries, gender relations, and the causes and consequences of the Arab Spring. To a large extent, these topics have all touched on the push and pull of authoritarianism and democracy, as well as the possible barriers to democratization. In 8-10 pages, write a response to the following prompt:

Scholars often surmise that there is something "unique" about the resilience of authoritarian regimes in the Middle East that has prevented democracy from taking hold. What are the primary causes of this authoritarian resilience in the region and how exactly do they hinder democratization? What if any practical solutions exist to better facilitate democratization in the region?

In your response, you must do the following:

1. Use supporting evidence from at least 3 weeks of readings. You

Robert Putnam, in his book Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, uses the example of the decline of bowling leagues across the country to suggest the passing of community and associations in the United States. Traditionally these associations provided the social capital* upon which society was built.

Has social media exacerbated this loss of community and neighborhood associations or has it enhanced community building? Many argue that electronic communication lacks the tactile and personal nature of face to face contact necessary for true communities. Others respond that online communication permits a much broader understanding of community, with connection across a heretofore impossible expanse of culture and geography.

Using real-world examples, please compose an essay discussing the impact of the new world of digital communication on community-building in America.

Your essay should use MLA formatting and demonstrate college-level grammar

It appears we have a new President and VP.

If you were Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, how would you apply your project management tool box in the first 90 days of the presidency? What projects would you add to the project management office (PMO) for the first year?  How would you use communication to help to bridge the gap in the USA so lasting good progress can be made.

You are asked to use the article youve chosen to analyze a current Israeli event. It would be best if you began by quickly summarize the main idea of the article (its main arguments) and how it relates to earlier readings. Then, analyze the case study event by the articles arguments and results,   (perhaps they are intriguing, contradict or support earlier readings, relate to overarching themes of violence, etc.) by the excerpts (i.e., quotes) or data from the text that support these points. if the case study doesnt fit perfectly to the article arguments you should suggest other factors that werent examined in the article and might affect these differences.
