Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Describe the Occupy movement as a response to the perceived unfairness of the American economy, the failure of the government to remedy unemployment, decreasing living standards, increasing wealth inequality, and benefits for the wealthy.
2, Review how Occupy demonstrators take over and prevent activities from happening in urban spaces, such as parks, squares, and spaces near government buildings and banks.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss how retrospective voting gets rid of bad politicians only after disasters happen, while not guaranteeing that the new politician will be better.
2, Discuss how retrospective voting may focus on the most prominent issues and ignore less visible issues.
3, Discuss how retrospective voting may encourage politicians to produce deceptively positive but temporary results just prior to Election Day.
4, Indicate that some events are beyond the control of politicians.
