American Government Essay
The Political issue essays are expected to highlight both sides of a political issue. Students are allowed to take a political standpoint as long as both sides of the political issue are explored. For example, a student may want to explore the political issue of abortion. A student should provide a very brief historical perspective of abortion and explore both the pro-life and pro-choice political perspectives. Finally, students can argue whether they feel that abortion is appropriate or under which conditions and circumstances that abortion is acceptable or unacceptable.
