Your final draft must be submitted by April 17th at 7:00 p.m. You will need to write a reaction paper and submit it by Sunday, April 17th at 7:00 p.m.
The point of a reaction paper is to give you a chance to develop your own views on the readings and, at the same time, demonstrate your command of what we have read thus far. The format is simple. The best papers will be those that:
Aptly capture in words the selected point;
Clearly state and sustain an argument about the selected point;
Situate the argument within the relevant literature we have read in the course thus far;
Where appropriate, provide good evidence for the case being made.
The guidelines for this paper are:
(Minimum of 3-4 paragraphs): What are the advantages and disadvantages of urban renewal ? In general, do you think urban renewal programs have a positive or negative effect on cities ?
(Minimum of 3-4 paragraphs): How do you think the world will change over the course of the next 50 years as a result of globalization ? Do you believe that the United States will continue to be the most powerful economic influence, or will this position belong to a United States of Europe or another superpower ?
