POLS 2000 Study Guide - Comprehensive Final Exam Guide - Kim Kardashian, Federal Government Of The United States, Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
Document Summary
We believe that this research question would be successful, based on the five key characteristics established by lisa baglione. This question serves as important most obviously because the subject matter is already being heavily investigated by political scientists, but also because foundational american ideals are currently at risk, depending on the magnitude of the effects of this war. This potential research question also meets the standard of being direct, because we are only concerned with proving the correlation, or perhaps even the causation, between the war on terrorism and a decrease of democratic surveillance and privacy practices. Additionally, this question is short, because we are not investigating whether or not the war on terrorism has been deemed successful in eradicating acts of terror. Rather, we are determining the extent to which the war"s tactics have directly affected a specific policy area. The last of the characteristics that can be applied to this question is that the research is doable.
