Analysis #1

For this analysis assignment, your objective is to connect the abstract concepts we covered in class with the concrete example provided in the article "The Cruel Sea".   You are limited to 3 pages typed, following the format given below, and the evaluation criteria and paper guidelines detailed in your course syllabus.

For this paper, identify three separate tenets from the theory chart for each theory (mercantilism, liberalism, Marxism) to explain the situation described in the article.  (You may discuss the same tenet for different theories.  You may not discuss the same tenet more than once for any one theory.)

The body of your paper should follow this format:

Paragraph 1:  A brief summary (i.e. about 3-4 sentences) of the article. This summary should not include any quotes.  It is a summary, therefore, it should be in your own words.

Paragraphs 2, 3, 4: Each paragraph should include a brief explanation of the tenet, followed by an analysis of how the situation described in the article relates to that tenet and how the tenet helps you to better understand the situation described in the case.  At the end of each paragraph, give a brief summary describing how each theory, overall, explains the situation. 

Paragraph 5:  Explain which theory makes the most sense to you in analyzing the situation described in the article and why.
