writing assignment, please write two short essays answering the following prompts.

1. Discuss the ethical problems with the Kramer, et al article, "Experimental evidence of massive-scale emotional contagion through social networks,” in light of what you’ve learned this semester about research ethics.

2. Return to one of the political science journal articles you read this semester (either in this class or another one) and discuss how the research could be enhanced with the use of big data (considering the “Five Vs” may help). Be specific. Discuss what kind of data would be needed and how it might be acquired. Analyze how this might or might not enhance hypothesis generation in this particular area of research. Put on your scientist hats and be creative!
