Instruction: Compare and contrast Du Bois and Arendt on the means deployed to control a population. What would be a good example of such a control today? Be specific about the processes that may be involved (for instance, you may focus on the law, the media, science, and/or the police etc…). You do not need to write about all of these domains (one or two may be enough) but you should illustrate your analysis with references both to the texts we read and to concrete contemporary situations. Refer to this prompt and fill it out according to each of the following paragraphs.
Here are the real prompts you should follow and write.
Paragraph 1:
Describe the empirical case(s) you will be exploring in the Paper. What population is being controlled, how, and why? What else do we need to know in terms of context? 150-250 words. You must include a citation to a news article/book/documentary referencing your phenomenon.
Paragraph 2:
Outline your theoretical argument, connecting the empirical example you described with the theories of Dubois and Arendt. 150-250 words.
