Question.3324 - Part of human nature is to compare, contrast, and rank people, places, and things. From the simplest ranking of your favorite restaurants to the more complex of determining successful presidents of the United States. Historians and Political Scientists are constantly reworking their rankings of best and worst presidents. As time progresses, it is interesting to see how some presidential terms have become more and less respected among scholars. Your discussion question is simple but will take some time to analyze:Which president of the United States is the most underrated and which is the most overrated?One helpful suggestion would be to simply search presidential rankings and analyze their listsand their criteria. For example, I had a college assignment where I had to rank presidents based on their similarity to a Roman Emperor (which by the way was super fun and I had Andrew Jackson as the most "emperor like"). Get an idea of where presidents are generally ranked and that will help you argue as to why one needs to be higher or lower. Ultimately, we are not saying that someone needs to jump all the way up to the top 5 or drop to the bottom 5; but the more "defend-able movement" allows for greater discussion.As part of your discussion you will need to create at least three criteria points, your methodology, by which you can defend your choices. Options include but are not limited to Public Persuasion and Perception, Crisis Leadership, Economic Management, Moral Authority, International Relations, Administrative Skills, Relations with Congress, Vision/Setting an Agenda, Pursued Equal Justice for All and Performance Within the Context of the Times. Answers will vary and be ready to discuss and defend your choice through your chosen criteria.
