Middle east-Essay

Order Description

In addition to writing your own piece, you need to comment on at least two other students’ assignments. I am hoping that this way we will generate an intelligent discussion by which you will have an opportunity to share your concerns and views with your fellow students. Please post your assignment before the assigned deadline. After posting your own assignments you have a week to respond to other students’ postings. In addition to your textbook you need to utilize at least two other outside sources to conduct research for this assignment. Make sure to cite your sources at the bottom of your essay.

Your Critical Thinking Essay (CTE) should be analytical and relevant to the topic, a minimum of 500 words. (15 points for your own posting, and 5 points for your comments on at least two other postings by your fellow students.) Your comments on other essays should be around 100 words long. (See your syllabus for more detail.) Please post your answer under Critical Thinking Essay 3 on our Discussion Board. Any sign of plagiarism will result in zero grades.

Note: in addition to your textbook you need to utilize at least two outside sources as well. You are not allowed to use the Wikipedia as your main two sources. At the bottom of your essay cite at least two outside sources that you have used to complete your assignment. Give the author (s)’ names, publication date, name of article, and the source where you found the article (i.e. printed books, journals or Internet web site) respectively. Read Your Syllabus for further instructions.

Select one of the following questions and after watching assigned documentaries and conducting necessary research answer to the best of your acquired knowledge. Before writing your essay, please read the assigned readings from your textbooks, watch assigned documentaries, and do some preliminary research utilizing relevant academic outside sources (i.e. books, articles, Internet sites.) You need to make references to your textbooks, assigned documentaries, and outside sources within the body of your essay.

Question 2. What role does the United States play on the Arab/Israeli conflict? Is the US government an honest mediator that can deliver peace or is part of the problem? Elaborate on your answer and give specific examples.

Assigned Documentaries
Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land: the documentary carefully analyzes and explains how–through the use of language, framing and context–the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza remains hidden in the news media, and Israeli colonization of the occupied terrorities appears to be a defensive move rather than an offensive one.
