Compose a research paper (3 - 5 pages) on the following topic:Outline Aristotle’s definition of rhetoric, and identify the role rhetoric plays in our present-day political process. You might compare and contrast with political practice in Aristotle’s time, and may want to incorporate a brief discussion of Aristotle’s three species of rhetoric. Your paper should not include a lengthy analysis of a court case, political debate or proceeding. Instead, it should be an analysis of our political process as it has evolved from its foundations in ancient Greece. To support your observations, you should include at least three references. You can use the required texts for the course, the supplemental articles and speeches, or any other source that supports your analysis.

If you are providing a definition or belief unique to an individual (here, Aristotle), you must cite the source of that info. If you supply substantive dates, theories, data, definition, situational narrative, etc., specific to and gleaned from an outside source, you must cite the source of that info. Please keep in mind that even if you find a copy of "Protagoras" online, you should cite from the assigned class text whenever possible, not from an online source. In short, any time you make an assertion or provide specifics on behalf of, or credited to another individual, you must cite where you obtained that information, even when you paraphrase.
