Overview
I'm working on a political science writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
Take a look around the State Department's website (https://www.state.gov/ ). Click on "Policy Issues" and consider the list of topics there. What does the list of issues indicate to you concerning the scope of foreign policy issues that State covers? Are there any major issues you see missing? Does anything else stand out?
View the videos and read the mission and value statements of the State Department https://www.state.gov/we-are-the-u-s-department-of-state/ Do you think that this is targeted more toward Americans, non-Americans, or a mix? How can you tell?
Take a look at the characteristics the State Department says they are looking for in Foreign Service Officers https://web.archive.org/web/20220609211854/https://careers.state.gov/work/foreign-service/officer/who-we-look-for/ What are they doing to attract potential FSOs? What ethos/image are they trying to present?
