Apply George Lakoff’s theory to one political issue and explain why both liberals and conservatives would be for or against a policy preference. Be sure to list and define at least four metaphors from each model (Strict Father & Nurturant Parent) that apply to the issue, then apply each model and metaphor to the issue. For example, if you chose single-payer healthcare or Medicare-For-All as your issue you would need to explain why a conservative would be opposed to or in favor of such a policy and then explain a liberal’s opposition or preference for such a policy. If you can apply the models and metaphors effectively you can also argue that both liberals and conservatives would be in favor or opposed to the same policy preference, but this requires more effort and you may wish to consult me during office hours. You do not need an introduction but be sure explain the models briefly before you discuss and apply the metaphors. Your paper will be assessed through Turnitin.com and should be at least 800 words and submitted in one of the following formats: Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx), OpenOffice (.odt), WordPerfect (.wpd), or PostScript (.ps) . Papers in the following conditions will receive a zero: not submitted in a required format or a corrupted file (it can’t be read and Turnitin.com can’t assess plagiarism), incomplete papers, high similarity ratings by Turnitin.com, or emailed to me. Late papers may be accepted at the discretion of the instructor for half credit.
