Research what has been happening in the case of either: a) Israel since last month; or b) the recent spate of book banning in United States K-12 schools.

Provide a brief description of events (and show your sources). Second, in light of the case you have chosen, show your understanding:

1-of how concepts of power and authority are exercised in society, relating to the case chosen;

2-by illustrating how rules and institutional structures (e.g., political, economic, and social) allocate power and authority and whether these dynamics have changed over time in your case;

3-of how authority is distributed at multiple governmental levels (e.g., local, state, national and international) in reflecting on the case you have chosen to explore; and

4-of how citizens can influence public policy in the case you are examining and whether you believe we have a responsibility, as engaged citizens, to do so.

Keep this brief reflection paper to 3 – 4 typed, double-spaced pages
