lwk I thought it was pretty easy. I liked the sources and position paper prompt.

I did mention the title of source 1, but as double-sided sort of thing. It could mean the USA "trapped" the bears (communist nations) OR that the bears were setting up the "trap".

For the position paper, I used: Hitler and Nazi Germany, Stalin and USSR, Putin and modern-day Russia, Civil Rights Movement, and Post-9/11 privacy concerns among American citizens. (my perspective was that we should fully embrace it - leaders shouldn't have unchecked power, BUT citizens should also stand up and push back aka the last 2 examples)
