History

1.     Introduction: similar to a research paper, “set up” the research proposal by discussing the issue or problem that you are addressing and why it is important. This section should be no longer than 1 page.   2.     Literature Review: this section of the proposal should include a discussion of studies that have already occurred regarding your research topic/issue/question. Essentially, this is where you describe what has already been studied and found out and it sets up your research question (because ideally your research question is the next step in learning about the topic/issue that you want to study). This section should include at least seven citations.   3.     Research Question/Concepts/Hypotheses: this section should explicitly state the research question that you are asking and link it back to the literature review. In addition, this section should include discussion of relevant concepts, how those concepts will be operationalized and measured, and statements of your hypotheses with respect to your research question.   4.     Methodology: this section should include discussion of the unit of analysis and the time dimension related to your data collection as well as lay out the methods for carrying out your research (your experiment, survey, qualitative field method, unobtrusive research method, etc.). In addition, this section should also describe selection of your sampling process and any ethical issues that are implicated in your research design. If you are doing a survey, qualitative interview, or field observation, a copy of the questionnaire or protocol should be included   5.     Data Analysis Plans: this section should provide a short description of how you plan to analyze the data once it has been collected. Identify whether you will be doing qualitative or quantitative analysis, give a brief discussion of that analysis and discuss how you intend to code the data. If you have identified a specific program for your data analysis, very briefly describe that program and how you plan to use it.   6.     Formatting: typed, single-spaced, size 12 font, header with name and “Final Research Proposal”, properly formatted in-text citations, properly formatted references section

Discuss both the English and Indian motivations for the Virginia conflicts of 1622 and 1644.  Discuss Bacon’s Rebellion and its significance in terms of how it affected relations between native people and the Virginia colony into the next (eighteenth) century.

Please write a short response (about two paragraphs) to only THREE of the following questions. All the source or quotation must come from my history book and PPT that I uploaded. Please cite references from the readings by indicating the title of text and page number in a parenthesis after the quote or reference.   1.Identify three ways in which westward territorial expansion of the South transformed southern slave society in the antebellum period? What was the nature of slavery and was it doomed to fade out of existence by these developments?   2. How was the Republican party of Abraham Lincoln formed in the 1850s? How was it related through the various realignments of parties to the first republican party of Thomas Jefferson? What role did the annexation of Texas and the War with Mexico play in these realignments?    3. Choose two of the readings of reformers (Owen, Hawthorne, Emerson, the women at Seneca Falls, Finney etc.), and discuss what the author thought had gone wrong and should be reformed and how they hoped to achieve this? What did their ideas have to do with each other?   4. How did African-American slaves, Native Americans, Californios, Latinos, and Irish Immigrants (choose three of these) manage to establish some semblance of order and identity in their lives amid the dramatic economic, social, and political developments during the antebellum period? Explain how they contributed to American life in general.   Please write an essay of at least four paragraphs in response to ONLY ONE of the following questions. Be sure to avoid redundancy from section one.     1. The American Republic was a polity based on equality among citizens who constituted “the people” working for the common good. Yet, almost from its origins, that polity faced countervailing dynamics and pressures as a result of various actions of the people themselves. Examine at least three economic, social, or cultural (not political) developments undertaken by the people that increased the underlying tensions and frictions in American life before 1860. How did these tensions affect politics through the late 1850s? Were these tensions and frictions resolved by 1860?   2. In many ways, the Civil War was the culmination of the inability of two increasingly diverse regions, with two very different economies and societies, facing the shifting geopolitics of territorial expansion, to compromise at the national level. Once underway, the war reflected many of those historical developments up to the war. The war, however, itself became something much more.  Driven by the course of military events, it became a crucible of political, social and economic changes that would propel the country to even more dramatic transformations in the decades to come. The war unleashed a number of political, social, cultural, and economic developments that would shape the country for decades to come.  Focusing on two developments – either political, social, economic, or cultural – examine how the Civil War was not just a culmination but also a new beginning, a fulfillment and also a promise that made it into one of the defining events of American history

Please refer to chapters 13 and 17 of Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes no outside sources, I will include the readings! Please analyze Hobbes’ method (How does he try to answer his problem? The problem is a life of chaos and strife. The solution is the social contract — and all the details about it in ch. 27). How is Hobbes scientific, systematic, and measured? How does he create a map for man to live a slightly more restful life? Notice that he is modern in his approach: he collects data like a scientist, does not consult religion, and treats man like a physical object whose movements are predictable.

Write your introduction. Be sure to incorporate your background information and to conclude with your thesis statement. Based on your primary and secondary source research, turn your research question into a thesis statement that addresses your topic and how it has been influenced by its historical context. Thesis Statement: Did Zedong believe he was doing the best thing for his country or was he being pushed into extreme communism by the Soviet Union?

the relationships that Indigenous peoples formed with their environments not only shaped their epistemologies (and cultural beliefs as well as conceptions of place), but also had very practical consequences for the ways social and cultural (and spiritual) structures developed.   Please respond to the following prompt using examples from our course materials:   How should we characterize the relationship between Indigenous peoples and their environments?  In other words, was there such a thing as the “ecological Indian?”   Specifications/Expectations/Considerations   you should be clear about what is meant by “ecological Indian” and provide a clear thesis/argument as a response to the above prompt.   Provide at least 3 specific examples/”evidence sections” from course materials.   Topics, themes, and ideas to consider: the Western Apache, origin stories, Seattle, other regional culture groups, the controversy surrounding The Ecological Indian, ethno-ecology, fire, buffalo.   The essay should be 2-3 pages in length; times new roman; 12-point font; double-spaced.  Please provide page numbers, a title, and use parenthetical citations.  Do not use outside resources, focus solely on course readings and lecture/discussion notes.

answered in 2 paragraphs each. No citations, No writing style needed. Question 1.) Generally, liberals believe that people are poor because of circumstances beyond their control (economics, health, society, family background), while conservatives believe people are poor because of their own individual failures (laziness, lack of character). What do you believe? What steps would you propose to reduce poverty on the basis of what you think causes it? Question2.) Should Social Security be privatized? Would you support partial privatization? How would you go about investing your private share for your retirement? What is the drawback of letting individuals bear all the risk in their retirement? Is this a safe plan for the future of Social Security
