Step 1- Look over the materials on different ideologies that are posted in this module. Watch the videos and read the readings first.
Step 2-For this current events discussion, you must find a news article or editorial (from a reputable news sourceLinks to an external site.) from within the last two weeks, preferably the last week.
Step 3-Provide an APA citation for your news article from a reputable news source (find an article no more than 2 weeks old).
If you are unfamiliar with APA citation format, see this webpage: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/10/
Most likely, you will need to use the format for the “Online News Article.” Or check out the TCC Libguide on APA citationsLinks to an external site..
Step 4- Write up a short, unbiased summary of the article/current event (this will probably be about a paragraph long)

Do you see evidence of classical liberalism? Progressivism? Fascism? Why? Demonstrate that you understand these ideologies and how they relate to contemporary politics.
Step 6- Add a discussion question to your post for your classmates to consider, if they would like, in their reply to your post.
