9.    Drawing on the readings by Heywood and Graeber, provide a detailed summary of fascism and anarchism. Define the key themes of each ideology, explain when they each emerged, and what their evolution has been over time. Then bring them into conversation and describe the relationship between the two political ideologies and why they clash so profoundly.  Finally, think about the YouTube video we watched, The Black Bloc, and make an argument about the relationship between what we learned about these political ideologies in the readings, and the people who clashed at Charlottesvillewhat were the many different arguments about Anti-Fa in the documentary, both for and against it? 

10.  Drawing on the Heywood chapter and lecture, summarize feminism as a political ideology.  In three sentences, summarize the history of the evolution of feminism as a political ideology using specific examples.  In one sentence each, summarize the following traditions that Heywood discusses: liberal feminism, socialist feminism, third-wave feminism, and transfeminism.  What does Heywood say about each of them, and why are they important to feminism? Finally, in three sentences, identify the concrete ties you see between feminism as a political ideology discussed by Heywood, and the contemporary feminist movement we watched a video about, Ni Una Menos, who also organized massive protests recently on international Womens Day throughout Latin America and elsewhere.  How does the vision of the current feminists that are a part of Ni Una Menos protests overlap or break with the arguments Heywood makes about feminism?  Be specific.

11.  What is neoliberalism? Summarize it in five sentences.  Be specific, and draw from the many arguments and examples used by Heywood, the videos we watched, and what was explained in lecture.  When and in what context did it first begin to successfully change government policy?  How exactly does neoliberalism relate to classical and modern liberalism?  Who were neoliberalisms biggest supporters, and what were the different ways it managed to become dominant throughout the world?  Finally, what might be the relationship between the rise of authoritarianism today and neoliberalismwhat exactly is the relationship between these two trends in political ideology?  Be detailed and specific.  Finally, do you think neoliberal democracy is really in crisis today?  Why or why not?  Be specific.

12.  The global age (1980s-present) has dramatically shifted the trajectory and content of political ideologies. First, drawing from Heywood, define globalization in two specific sentences. Then, in two sentences each, and using specific examples, summarize how the global age has shaped and changed each of the following political ideologies we have studied in class: liberalism, fascism, anarchism, nationalism, and feminism.  Your argument can build on the points you make about each political ideology, but try not to be too repetitive.  In other words, make a unique argument about the specific changes facing each political ideology as a result of globalization.

13.  Imagine you could design your own political ideology.  What would it look like?  What would the key ideas for it be?  Develop your own unique political ideology by combining some of the ideas of at least three different political ideologies we have studied in class.  Make an argument for why you hold your new political ideology would be best. Then, make an argument about how your political ideology would be different from other existing political ideologies.  What aspects of existing political ideologies are you not including and why?  Why did you pick specific aspects of each existing political ideology and not other aspects (for example: I like the notion of individualism from liberalism, but I dont like the notion of rationality because…).  Be as specific as possible by drawing on information from Heywood, the videos, and the lectures. (You will be graded not on the basis of what your beliefs are but rather on the depth of understanding you demonstrate of Heywoods book as you craft your own argument)
