Assignment task:
Question 1) The authors say political myths simplify a complex world. Choose a political myth (from the book or from your life) and using sources to support your statements, explain how it simplifies the world.
Question 2) The authors say there is a growing tendency for people to move away from the use of myths and instead to use "reasoned analysis" (Textbook, bottom page 22, top of 23) to make sense of our political world? Using sources to support your statement, discuss whether or not you think this is happening.
