After you do that, analyze them and answer the following questions: What tone does each platform have? How would you describe the tone and the emotions each platform is trying to convey? What kinds of policies, broadly, does each platform advocate for? Find two specific issues or policies that are discussed in both platforms. Compare and contrast how the two parties discuss those issues (goals, values, policies, plans, etc.) In each platform, find one policy or goal you agree with and one thing you disagree with. What are those things? If you cannot find something in each platform, why do you think that is? Then, after analyzing the specific platforms, discuss why the parties put platforms together every 4 years. What goals does the platform serve? What audiences is the platform trying to reach? How effective do you think party platforms are at achieving these goals?Show more
