Is Conservatism Really Dead?

On the book “The Death of Conservatism” by Sam Tanenhaus. The book reviews are an opportunity to both demonstrate knowledge and make an original argument. Students will show their ability to quickly and accurately summarize a book and make an argument of their own. Examine a book that criticizes the conservative movement, from either the left or the right. These are books that attack the basic philosophical premises of the conservative movement, rather than focusing on specific policy issues or personalities within the Republican Party. In these reviews, students will summarize and critique the major arguments of the book. As they read, students should consider the following questions, though all of these questions do not need to be addressed in their papers: what are the book’s strengths and weaknesses? What are possible counterarguments or objections to the author’s primary argument? Are there any obvious contradictions in the author’s argument? Are the arguments made in the book still relevant? How might the claims made in the book be relevant to current debates? The best papers will provide a clear thesis, presented early in the paper, which is subsequently advanced in the following paragraph. Papers should be between six and nine pages, including a works cited page.

ESSAY TITLE

Choose one or more otoprotectant and discuss its effectiveness in protecting the auditory system.

Background – You are in your clinic and a patient hands you a snippet from a paper that claims to have found a new type of drug that can reduce the impact of noise and actively protects our auditory system! The patient asks for your thoughts, as the paper is well known for its misleading articles and hyperbole. You decide to do some research and find out for yourself.

Task – Choose an otoprotectant (drug) and discuss its effectiveness in protecting the auditory system. Some otoprotectants have been researched more than others, so feel free to evaluate the efficacy of more than one if needed.

Tips:

1 – Discuss the effect of noise on the auditory system firstly, and if a particular drug affects a certain part of the system, discuss that, so the reader has a better understanding on how the drug may or may not work.

2 – If choosing 1 otoprotectant to discuss, make sure there is enough papers, research and information out there to write your essay. Also, if discussing more than one drug then make sure you are writing enough information for each and that you include enough articles/evidence.

3 – Don’t forget that the effectiveness can be proven as effective or non-effective, so finding no links to protecting the auditory system is fine.

4 – Make sure you are looking at reliable & scientific sources! Watch out for homeopathic reviews or papers with conflicts of interest.

5 – For your introduction you could base it on the background story or simply start as if doing a normal paper. I promote academic freedom of writing, just make sure your introduction is clear in what you are looking into and why.
