These argument concern two different political perspectives from or abut two prominent historical political figures. What faults do they find with the arguments put forward by Jad Adams and Stalin? What types of evidence do they use to support their analysis? Do you think their observations are fair? Reflect on these questions in your personal journal and consider how you intend to approach the arguments you have been asked to analyse for your next piece of assessment which focuses on de-construction of an argument..

NEXT WEEK: Before the next session watch Roger Spalding's video about liberalism. Be prepared to contribute to a new discussion board on ideologies. Think about the issues raised in the video, in particular can you identify the changes in liberal thought over time?
