Minimum 1200 words • 20 points • Give your paper a title

This homework is a three-part assignment. It requires you to think and reflect. It asks for your position on several prominent political players. Having now seen two films on two US wars: “Fair Game” (Iraq) and “The Most Dangerous Man in America” (Vietnam), both of which featured whistleblowers at the highest levels, fully address the following three sections:

I – First: give a summary of each film. These are separate entries. Do not mix these. Fully summarize ‘Fair Game,’ then fully summarize ‘The Most Dangerous Man in America.’

II – Second: answer the following terms.

1. What is social justice? (Do not give me a dictionary definition, give me YOUR considered definition.)

1. What is a patriot? (Do not give me a dictionary definition, give me YOUR considered definition. Avoid such things as ‘a person who supports his/her country’ – what is the meaning here??)

1. What is a traitor? (Do not give me a dictionary definition, give me YOUR considered definition.)

The terms above were used by many of the people who were interviewed in the films. Opinions here varied widely. Make the definitions your own.

III – Third: comparing the list of names below to the definitions you’ve given above, categorize the listed individuals as patriots or traitors to the United States (some of them might fall into more than one category). Indicate whether or not any of them contributed to social justice as you have defined it and explain why or why not. There is no right or wrong answer. You can despise or love some or all of them – but you need to JUSTIFY your position on each of them.
