How would you establish a truth score (beyond your own opinion) for one of the four statements about the political world on page 3? Describe your research strategy in some detail. What crucial questions would you attempt to answer? What evidence would you employ? How would you gather this evidence?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should respond to every element of the previous question. There is a lot of leeway here. For example, to address "politics is the exercise of power and influence to allocate things that are valued," the respondent would begin by clearly defining power, influence, and value. Then the response could take a case study of one country, focus on its top politicians, and assess the degree to which that country's level of influence is linked to the resources that they can distribute.
