“Animals in Vaccine Development” position paper

What is it?

You will write and submit a position paper on the topic of the usage of animals in the context of vaccine development. A position paper presents an arguable opinion that is held by the writer (you), and should include data-driven facts cited by scientific sources. For this paper, you can write in first person, since portions of it are opinions you hold.

Am I “pro” or “con”?

Most of us already have some pre-conceived notions regarding this topic that may or may not include some mixed opinions (likely a majority!). I would encourage you to have an open mind throughout this assignment and research
both sides of the issue. This is an opportunity to research and justify any and all of your opinions, so it is completely acceptable (and encouraged) to include arguments for both sides in your paper.

Assignment:

You will submit a typed paper (12 pt font, double-spaced, 1 in. margins) of your research representing your stance to the D2L Assignment folder titled “Animals in Vaccine Development”. The paper should be 2-3 pages long (no cover page necessary) and it should contain in-text documentation of your sources. You should also submit a Works Cited page (see below) with no fewer than 3 scientific resources (feel free to include more). Your Works Cited page will not count towards the page limit of your paper.

Scientific resources:

Scientific resources traditionally refer to peer-reviewed journals, but I will also accept published national policies (NIH, USDA, etc). Please do not use online sources such as Wikipedia, PETA, Humane Society, etc as one of your 3 minimum sources as these websites are not peer-reviewed and typically not seen as credible by the scientific community. Any “blog post” found online, even from a credible source, is not peer-reviewed and will not count as a “scientific source”. Feel free to peruse those websites during your research, but please find more scientific sources to cite during your arguments.
In-text documentation is required. Your citations should be of scientific format as indicated by APA or MLA guidelines. You may visit the following website for documentation guidelines:
Purdue Online Writing Lab

Please note: it is NOT customary in a scientific paper to use direct quotes. You should paraphrase any information you use in your paper that you learned from any outside source, but that information should still be cited in-text!

Three APA examples are seen below:

What are the core beliefs and objectives of the CI movement and Antifa as representative examples of right-wing and left-wing extremist groups in the U.S.?

Right-Wing Christian Identity and Left-Wing Antifa Extremist Groups in the U.S

Purpose Statement

The goal of this research is to perform a thorough examination of two unique domestic extremist groups in the United States, notably the Christian Identity (CI) movement, which represents the right-wing perspective, and Antifa, which represents the left-wing perspective. This study will dive into these groups’ ideologies, ambitions, political acts, propaganda techniques, violent activities, recruitment processes, and radicalization methods. The study compares and contrasts these groups to find underlying trends and differences, providing a better understanding of domestic extremism. Also, the study will look into successful counter-violent extremism measures that can be implemented for both groups to reduce their impact on society.

Research Questions

· What are the core beliefs and objectives of the CI movement and Antifa as representative examples of right-wing and left-wing extremist groups in the U.S.?
· What are the differences and similarities in the political actions and propaganda techniques employed by these two groups?
· What are the specific instances of violent actions associated with the Christian Identity movement and Antifa, and how do these actions align with their respective ideologies?

Christian Identity Movement

The CI movement is profoundly rooted in white supremacist beliefs, and its interpretation of Christianity promotes racial purity and supremacy (Davis, 2010). It advocates for a theocratic government based on its understanding of Christian teachings and seeks to establish a white ethnostate within the United States. Notably, the movement has been linked to several disquieting political actions, including acts of domestic terrorism and hate crimes (Atkins, 2011). The Christian Identity movement uses various propaganda techniques to promote its extremist ideology through religious narratives and conspiracy theories. This has contributed to a history of violent acts, including assassinations, bombings, and attacks on minority communities (CTEC Staff, 2021). The recruitment and radicalization processes of the movement are facilitated by white supremacist networks, online forums, and ideological congruence with other hate groups.

Antifa

Antifa opposes the Christian Identity movement. Its fundamental values differ from the far right and seek to eliminate bigotry in all forms (Alizadeh et al., 2019). Antifa is a group whose members actively promote social justice and work to fight hate speech in an effort to disrupt far-right and fascist actions. Protests, demonstrations, and confrontations against far-right gatherings and hate groups are just some of the political acts taken by the movement. Antifa uses a unique mix of propaganda tools, such as social media and grassroots gatherings, to get its message out and its members to act. Some Antifa members have been guilty of vandalism, property destruction, and fights with far-right groups (Koehler, 2021). People join the movement mainly through social media, local activist groups, and a shared dislike of fascism.

Comparison and Contrast

The Christian Identity movement and Antifa represent two extremities of the political spectrum because of their opposing ideals, goals, and techniques (Jones, 2018). Despite variations, propaganda is employed by all factions to promote their interests, albeit through distinct narratives and communication platforms. Antifa is characterized by a reactive stance driven by a goal to combat hatred and injustice. At the same time, the Christian Identity movement has a history marked by violent actions based on white supremacist beliefs (Rydgren, 2018).

Counter-Violent Extremism Approaches

The threat these extremist groups pose can be addressed by implementing a multifaceted strategy for combatting violent extremism. This includes community outreach activities to increase dialogue and understanding between underrepresented groups. To fight the transmission of misleading information, educational efforts should be developed to refute extremist narratives while encouraging critical thinking and media literacy (Armaly et al., 2022). Collaboration between law enforcement and local communities must be strengthened to effectively identify and mitigate extremist risks while maintaining trust and transparency. The creation of internet platforms that provide alternative narratives can be used to fight extremist propaganda by engaging users with credible and interesting material (Baker, 2018). Lastly, for early intervention and help, it is critical to provide resources and support to persons vulnerable to radicalization due to circumstances such as social isolation or mental health concerns.

Conclusion

This research paper examines the Christian Identity movement and Antifa’s ideas, actions, and techniques of recruitment and radicalization in depth. The paper helps to better understand domestic extremism by comparing and contrasting different groups. The discussion of counter-violent extremism tactics highlights the need to take proactive steps to reduce the impact of extremist groups on society and foster a more inclusive and accepting atmosphere.
