Western theory

QUESTION

Write a brief statement of the meaning of social contract theory. This assignment can take two tracks: 

Write this statement as if you were taking a test and this was one of the short answer questions. This means that you can refer to key theorists and/or events that help to underpin your argument about social contract theory, but you are not to take this information from another source. It is to be in your own words. 

Write this statement as if you were writing your essay, had found a source related to the social contract theory and were planning on paraphrasing the information and including it in the body of your paper. This means that you are to actually paraphrase the information, rather than just changing some words around, but nevertheless keeping the structure and tone of the source you are using.

QUESTION

you make a list of all the actors and factors on the three levels provided in the Northern Ireland article. And then you evaluate what they did or did not do that contributed to the outbreak of the violence as well as the Good Friday Agreement/resolution. So you have an individual actor like George Mitchell, who did not contribute to the outbreak, and you write that down, and then you describe what it is he did that helped get the GFA signed.

You will make two separate grids I have the empty one attached as well as an example one for you to see what type of writing and how detailed it should be. One grid would be about Israel-Palestine. The second grid would be about Bosnia or Darfur. I have the reading attached which will help you find details.
