Examine the term “Gentlemen’s History”: How has “Gentlemen’s History” affected our understanding of the key events surrounding, and our conceptions of the career of Julius Caesar, and about his allies, and his adversaries? In this vein, examine Dr.Parenti’s own treatment of Cicero as an example illustrating all aspects of Gentlemen’s History he examine

Book report on the assassination of julius ceasar by michael Parenti.

Points to Examine, and you MUST examine BOTH SETS OF POINTS:

Points to Examine

1. Examine the term “Gentlemen’s History”: How has “Gentlemen’s History” affected our understanding of the key events surrounding, and our conceptions of the career of Julius Caesar, and about his allies, and his adversaries? In this vein, examine Dr.Parenti’s own treatment of Cicero as an example illustrating all aspects of Gentlemen’s History he examines.

2. How does Dr. Parenti’s examination of “Gentlemen’s History” shed light on socio-political realities in our own day? Drawing upon your text, how has “Gentlemen’s History” been used by current ideological, economic and political elites to preserve unequal and exploitive socio-political and socio-economic arrangements through history, and how do they continue doing so today? How do these elites resort to “Gentlemen’s History” to discredit, undermine, or otherwise neutralize opposing arguments and interpretations?

How does the right to privacy protect a women’s right to have an abortion or not?Is this a constitutionally valid interpretation of the right to privacy? Why or why not?

Prepare:

Read Chapters 10 and 11 in the course text and review the following resource Moyers & Company: What’s Fueling the Modern Abortion Debate?

Reflect: The fact that the Constitution does not have a specific clause or reference to a right to privacy has become a very contentious cultural, social, and political issue in the United States. The ability of the government to enter into the private lives of American citizens has clearly been restricted by provisions in the Fourth Amendment, yet the debate over certain privacy based rights such as contraception, abortion rights, and consensual sexual activity continues today. In particular, when discussing abortion, many immediately begin to debate a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion or not. At the heart of the issue constitutionally, is not whether a woman has the right to make this decision but whether she has the right to privacy under the Fourth Amendment.

Write: In your initial post of at least 300 words, utilize the Constitution, established case law, and scholarly sources to answer the following questions:

How does the right to privacy protect a women’s right to have an abortion or not?

Is this a constitutionally valid interpretation of the right to privacy? Why or why not?

Do not rely upon personal opinion to make your argument. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
