You are required to write a short research paper evaluating and analyzing chapter 1 of the comparative approach introduced in your textbook readings. Your readings this week addressed various ways of approaching comparing and analyzing aspects of political systems. For this assignment, assume that you are preparing to begin a project that attempts to explain the success of democracy in the United States. Please write a 5–7-page research paper explaining how you might approach this project. Specifically, your paper should: 1) Describe in detail how the comparative approach described in the Dickovick and Eastwood textbooks might apply to this question; 2) Explain which prominent questions might be addressed, what kinds of facts and evidence might be useful and which kind(s) of comparison(s) would be beneficial; and 3) Explain what role prevailing worldviews might play in the presumptions of a comparative approach and what role a Judeo-Christian worldview might play in one’s approach to this project.Political Science
