Politics & Culture

Provide an essay-length treatment comparing the concept of (political) culture to politics. Use examples of contemporary political activity to support your analysis. Be certain to define both concepts thoroughly and carefully. Be certain to refer to course readings/textbook to support your analysis. Questions to consider: How do cultural narratives impact political beliefs/ actions? Is group identity related to state action? Does the state have an obligation to protect and promote ethnic/ religious/ gender identity? Is it important for government to regulate arts-based content (e.g. movies, books, video games)? Recommended length: 1000 words; essays may by single or double-spaced. References must be used to support your analysis; therefore, a proper bibliography and referencing format is required. Make sure that all of the key concepts are clearly defined and supported with evidence.
