504: Final Statesmanship Paper Instructions 01

 

A significant portion of your grade for this course is earned by writing a 7-FULL page paper on statesmanship.

 

This paper takes the statesmanship definition and framework you created in your literature review and applies it to the decisions, actions, context, character, and overall leadership of a particular political leader of your choice. Per the final paper topic choice, not only must you chose just one political leader, you must also just chose one particular situation in that political leader's career. Rather than trying to prove whether that political leader was a statesman at all times and at all places (something almost impossible to prove) you will instead just look at one incident/challenge while that political leader was in office. You will answer the question of whether or not the leader was a statesman or a pseudo-statesman. Be persuasive. This website will help explain what persuasive writing is: http://sydney(dot)edu(dot)au/stuserv/learning_centre/help/analysing/an_distinguishTypes.shtml. Make your arguments strong.

 

Part 1: Statesmanship Model

  • This section must be 1-FULL page.
  • Part 1 must include a brief and focused restatement of the framework you articulated in your literature review assignment.
  • This section must incorporate recommendations and comments from your professor as well as citations from your literature review.

 

Part 2: Research Question

  • This section must be 6-FULL pages.
  • In this section 12 new sources are required, in addition to any relevant sources from the course or literature review.
  • This section must include new research and analysis.
  • It must demonstrate a clear connection to the ideas discussed in the literature review paper.
  • It must provide evidence of specific actions, decisions, and motivations of the chosen political leader in just one particular political situation/challenge as a means of determining whether or not that leader was in fact a statesman.

 

The grading rubric provides more specifics for the paper and each required section – VERY CRUCIAL THAT YOU ALSO REVIEW THE GRADING RUBRIC.

Role That Lincoln Played In Abolishing Slave Trade
Introduction
Statesmen are leaders who positively impact the community through their actions, and Lincoln did not fall short of this description. When he first campaigned for his bid for the presidency in 1861, slavery was widely practiced and many people who were pro slavery saw him as a threat to their way of life. Lincoln assured them that he will not abolish it. After his election, he started his long fight by declaring slavery illegal in places where it was not practiced. He had courage to rebuke the act by saying it is immoral and against human dignity. His partner said that Lincoln despised slavery, especially when he saw blacks being auctioned. His moral courage helped him fight slavery when he got a chance as he had earlier stated to his law partner William Herdon. In addition, Lincoln was able to unite the fragile country after the civil war by being forgiving and tough. He showed a great act of statecraft by pardoning people and army who asked forgiveness through their relatives. Moreover, the president had a great respect for the constitution and this acted as a guide in helping him liberate the blacks from slavery and this cemented his statesmanship character. Finally Lincoln humbleness also acted as a pillar in his fight for slavery. He grew under hardship and this made him to be sympathetic to people and is the attribute that guided him through his presidency term. He won the admiration and haters almost in the same measure, but he proved to be a great statesman.This study tries to show how Lincoln used his statesmanship and statecraft to liberate the blacks from slavery and how his idea has been used by other minority like gays to demand for their rights.[LR, "Literature review"]
Literature review
Leadership may be viewed by many as same as statesmanship, but they are entirely different. Although they share most of the attributes, but the statesman is always guided by the moral character. Statesman action is always guided urge to provide action that serves the best interest of the nation, but not on the basis of selfish motives. It is evident that statesmen are courageous and they always urge the fellow citizens to adopt what is worth living for. For example, Lincoln once stated that, "…. Malice toward none; with clarity for all". He was encouraging the nation to adopt what is right and abandon what is morally wrong. In addition, for statesmen be successful in the political field, they must possess wisdom that cannot be merely taught in class, but rather be gained through experience and a long apprenticeship.The impact of the statesmen should be long lived and appreciated by the generation to come. Lincoln contribution in fighting slavery is still celebrated and appreciated by the entire world. In addition, leaders like Anthony played a crucial role in liberating women to participate in the politics and social reform.[LR] [LR]
