History

British Empire (1583-1914) Note: The dates listed above are approximate and do not take into consideration various historiographical interpretations. For instance, you may wish to argue that the British Empire ended in 1947 rather than 1914. For this assignment, you will be granted reasonable latitude as to the exact beginning and end date of the empire in question. The research paper will assess the students’ mastery of course outcome 2 (CO2) – Evaluate the factors which led to the rise and fall of vast historical empires Assignment Instructions: Compose a thesis statement. (see below for more information about thesis statements) You are to write an argumentative work that makes a claim about the primary cause of the empire’s fall (e.g. – The Russian Empire fell because…) and is supported by the facts marshalled in your research. Conduct research with appropriate academic source material, and compile that information into an annotated bibliography. These sources are the foundation of your paper and part of your Proposal, Annotated Bibliography and Outline for Research Paper assignment. There is a section of the syllabus that details what sources you may use and what you may not use. Write an outline for your paper. This will serve as the structural guideline for the work, and be part of your Proposal, Annotated Bibliography and Outline for Research Paper assignment. Write a collegiate level research paper that addresses the assigned aspect of the empire you have chosen to write about. Do not simply recap the major events of the time period. Rather, it is your task to write critically about the subject as determined by your thesis statement. Accordingly, the vast majority of this work should be about the reasons for the chosen empire’s decline and fall, not it’s “rise” and fall. Discussion of its origins and heights should only be present to whatever limited degree is needed for background information.  Review your work carefully, proofreading for grammatical and content errors. You may wish to use Grammarly which is available in the help tab at the top of the page. Your draft paper is due at the end of Week 6 and the final paper is due at the end of Week 8. Submit your approved bibliography with each version of the paper. Format Requirements Length: 12-14 pages (3000 to 3500 words). Your paper should be no less than 3000 words exclusive of title page, bibliography, etc. Upper word limit may be exceeded with the permission of the instructor. Use Common Era style abbreviations (BCE – Before Common Era, CE – Common Era). This is necessary only when referring to events of the ancient world (before or near the year 0). Examples: The assassination of Julius Caesar occurred in 44 BCE. The Great Fire of Rome occurred in 64 CE. Thesis Statement: Employ an argumentative thesis statement. An argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided. Note: Your thesis statement must have a debatable element. For instance, the statement “The Middle East has been torn by conflict for decades” is not debatable. On the other hand, the statement “The conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians exists primarily because of political rather than religious differences” is a clearly debatable statement in which the opposite view could be plausibly argued. Structure: Consult the Writing Guides for APA (see below) to write a paper with a clear introduction, body and conclusion. Despite the use of APA, do not write an abstract. Include a title page. Use a 12 point conventional (Times New Roman, Calibri, etc.) font, double spaced with a 1 inch margin. Annotated Bibliography: Include an annotated bibliography with a minimum of five scholarly books and one scholarly journal article. (Note: The journal article may be substituted with a sixth book dependent on subject choice with your instructor’s permission). Construct your bibliography using research from legitimate, academic sources of history. Practically speaking, this means books and academic journals. Do not use materials from non-academic sources – history.com, online encyclopedias, etc. Research is a vital component of this assignment. Do not use any required readings for this course as source material for your paper. Suggested readings from the course may be used.

power point presentation. 6slides Identify 3 works of art (Music, Art, Film, Video, Theatre, Dance) that were created after 1900 (this can include current works) that had a significant impact on historical/current events in an enduring way. (example: The play Angels in America strongly influenced AIDS awareness and public funding for research into the disease). Prepare and deliver a class presentation on these three works and how they influenced/are influencing history. Be sure to tell us the name of the work, the artist who created it and the date it was created or published. Tell exactly how these works impacted historical or current events. Be specific and provide proof of their impact through cited evidence. Provide examples (i.e., visuals, brief audio or video clips). All resources used in gathering information for your presentation should be clearly identified. Photos require a photo credit, but do not need to be on References page. All References should appear on an APA formatted References Page. Information in slides should have in-text citations where necessary

Partisanship and ideology fluctuated in 20th century Texas as the conservative voting majority left the Democratic Party for the Republican Party. Why did the party allegiance of Texas conservatives change and what impact did this have on partisanship and policy in the Contemporary Era (1975-2000)? Format: 1000 words Double space 12-point font Standard written English One-inch margins Chicago style footnote citations. Do not cite in parenthetical MLA style. Content: Your paper must have a main idea/thesis/argument. It cannot be a summary of the reading. Your thesis must answer the prompt. Your paper must be carefully edited. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling count. Cultivate your own voice/style. You will be writing a lot of papers in college, at least three in this course, so find your voice. This means papers by different students on the same prompt should be distinct. It does not mean the papers are about you. Do not write about yourself and do not use a conversational tone or self-references. You must demonstrate understanding and familiarity with required readings in both Campbell’s Gone to Texas and Erica Grieder’s Big, Hot, Cheap and Right This is not really possible if you have neglected to read either. Papers that do not cite both books will not pass. These are reading response essays, not research papers. There should be no other source material beyond Campbell and Grieder; do not summarize content you have read on the internet.

The story of William Levitt and the creation of the modern suburb that we know today is told in the 1950 Time magazine article “Up from the Potato Fields” as found below this.  If you can possibly prevent yourself from vomiting as you think about the dreadful and wretched suburban blandness that Levitt brought to our green and pleasant fields, please try to answer the following questions, only after the Pepto Bismol* has settled you down a little.  Bleech.  1.    What did Levitt do that had not been done before?  Why was his model of a home and a community appealing to the many young families that quickly snapped up these tiny houses? 2.    Why did this happen when it did?  Basically, why didn’t someone come up with this idea in 1920 or later in 1970 or never at all?  What was it about the postwar period that made Levitt a millionaire and average middle-class white Americans home owners? 3.    The community was described by the author of the article as “antiseptic.”  What did he mean by that and do you think the residents wanted it that way?  4.    Would you want to live in such a place??? Really, is there anything about this sort of community that you might find appealing?? (Maybe you live in such a place and are mad at that smug Horner for even asking???) At least 450 words.

This essay will require you to explore the role of culture in assessment and treatment. Create a hypothetical case by first identifying an individual’s culture (military, female, African American, college student, New Yorker, etc), and secondly a substance abuse problem (alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamines, opioids, etc). Then describe a specific treatment strategy that would be sensitive to the person’s culture and their addiction. Think about how the person self-identifies with the culture, cultural explanation of the illness, cultural practices re: the substance, and treatment barriers. I want you to carefully consider how a treatment plan might look different for an American Indian with an alcohol addiction vs. a homeless person with a meth addiction, for example. Requirements: 6 pages of text, using a minimum of 5 peer-review scholarly resources identified on a reference page in APA style.
