Q:Can someone please help me with my DQ's one and two for week 6 in His 135 at Axia?
Discussion Question 1
Post your response to the following: If you had been a voter at the time of Nixon's impeachment and resignation, how would the Watergate scandal have affected your perception of government power? Do you think the Watergate scandal has had an enduring effect on the public's perception of government power today or not? Explain your answer. Respond by considering how later politicians had to respond to reactions similar to those of your classmates in order to restore public confidence in government figures.
Discussion Question 2
Post your response to the following: Investigative reporters are bolder today than they were 30 or 40 years ago. How do you think the impact of Watergate has contributed to this boldness? Do you think investigative reporters are justified in being bold to get information for the public, or do you think they are too aggressive? Respond to your classmates answers by playing devils advocate. This means when a response posts asserting that investigators are too aggressive, ask how it is that the American public can get at the truth. When a response posts asserting that investigators are justified in being bold to get information, ask how it is that people can preserve their privacy and not be tried by public opinion. Remember that this point/counter-point type of discussion must be conducted with mature courtesy.
The help is greatly appreciated.
