The Arab-Israeli Conflict. The June War of 1967 between Israel and its Arab neighbors proved to be a significant event with profound and long-term consequences for the Middle East and the world. During the 1970s and 1980s, the ongoing conflict shaped events in Israel, the occupied territories, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, as well as impacting the broader region, influencing superpower relations, and even altering the international energy and economic orders. What events in the Middle East during the 1970s and 1980s illustrated the growing centrality of the Arab-Israeli conflict as a factor shaping regional affairs? The book : A History of the Modern Middle East, Sixth Edition by William Cleveland. Assigned Chapters : 17, 18, 19 & 21 Please only quote from assigned chapters.

Is our world too global? Globalization essentially means how the world interacts.  Think of your clothing, where was it made?  Where did your breakfast come from? What about political concepts, is the U.S. too involved in world affairs?  Are we not involved enough?  Immigration?  These are all concepts intricate to globalization. Please read Peter N. Stearns assessment of globalization and decide where you fit in the discussion.  Are you opposed of globalization?  Support it?  Support some aspects of it?  Be sure to respond to at least one classmate’s posts.  (10 points for the discussion post and 10 points for the response). “On a wider scale, depending on what aspects of globalization are empha-sized, polls show that upwards of 53 to 79% of all people in the world oppose globalization today. Economic globalization is widely feared, because it brings so much inequality and so many factors that escape regional governance, but cultural globalization is even more resented (by up to 70% of those polled) on grounds of loss of identity; only political globalization wins (bare) majority support, apparently because many people hope that more effective political agreements will help keep other aspects of globalization under control. To be sure, there is regional variation: people in North America (particularly the Atlantic and Pacific coasts), Western Europe, and Japan—especially young people—like cultural globalization, by a 4–1 margin; but all generations in most other regions disagree vigorously. Interestingly, however, people in the United States, against the global majority, seem to fear political globalization above all, though there are also concerns about economic dislocation and immigration (and among some groups, about culture as well). Worldwide, women are slightly more likely to favor most aspects of globalization than men are—which makes sense in terms of the history of at least recent globalization and its bearing on traditional gender alignments, but which adds another dose of complexity. ” https://fletcher.louislibraries.org/uhtbin/ezproxylogin_louis_fletcher.x?url=ezp.2aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2guZWJzY29ob3N0LmNvbS9sb2dpbi5hc3B4P2RpcmVjdD10cnVlJmRiPW5sZWJrJkFOPTEyODY4Mzgmc2l0ZT1lZHMtbGl2ZSZlYnY9RUImcHBpZD1wcF9Db3Zlcg– L01853438 012889  Source: Stearns, Peter N.

Answer questions 1-8.  1.Based on the EEOC’s Revised Race Guidance, describe any five (5) of the elements that constitute Title VII’s (of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) prohibition of race discrimination. Give an example for each. 2.Francisco, a Hispanic man, is employed by the Inter-Pacific Railroad as a supervisory conductor on its commuter trains. Except for one white woman, all other supervisory conductors are black men. The other supervisor conductors refer to Francisco as “Taco” and used other racial slurs when referring to him. Francisco complains about this to the senior trainmaster and threatens to file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). What steps would you suggest the trainmaster follow so as to address Francisco’s concerns and prevent him from filing a claim with the EEOC?  3.Franklin, a U.S.-born individual of English ancestry, works for the China Soul Restaurant, which is owned and operated by two U.S. citizens of Chinese ancestry. Franklin’s co-workers Jin Pan and Lou Jiang, also U.S. citizens of Chinese ancestry, are late for work almost every day, but no action is taken against them even though the owners are aware of Jin and Lou’s tardiness. There is a clearly stated workplace policy that an employee reporting to work late more than once in a 60-day period will be dismissed. Franklin reports to work late twice, and he is dismissed. Explain whether Franklin has a basis for a national origin discrimination claim. 4.Kevin, the owner and manager of a large warehouse, speaks only English. He requires that all his employees speak English to ensure that communication related to work is clear and effective. A number of non-English-speaking workers complain about the policy on the grounds that they can converse in their native languages and still get the job done. If these non-English-speaking employees bring a claim of national origin discrimination on the basis of this policy, what is Kevin’s best defense? Explain. 5.Discuss and explain the six factors that will be considered by the courts and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in determining whether an employer has successfully borne the burden of reasonably accommodating an employee’s religious conflict. 6.MaryJo, a very religious woman, takes every opportunity to propagate her religion at work to the extent that it adversely affects her productivity as well as that of those around her. Her employer admonishes her to stop proselytizing at work. She offers instead to simply limit her proselytizing to certain hours of the day. Her employer declines the offer and reminds her that she is being paid to work, not to preach. When MaryJo refuses to accede to her employer’s wishes, she is fired. She files a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) alleging that her employer failed to accommodate her religious beliefs. Evaluate the merits of her claim. 7.Chad was 54 years old when he was hired as a disc jockey by William. Two years later, as William’s business was failing, Chad was laid off by William. Chad felt that he was laid off because of his age, so he brought a claim of age discrimination against William. On the basis of these facts alone, briefly discuss William’s defenses to Chad’s claim. 8.List the elements that must be established by an employee to persuade the court that she or he has a claim for age discrimination.

The topic of European interaction with, and conquest of, the Americas is an important one. The two documents included in this exercise cannot possibly do the topic justice. However, they do offer a glimpse into the attitudes and experiences of both the Spanish and the indigenous people of Mexico at the time of the “collision of their cultures.” DOCUMENTS Document 1 is the Spanish ‘Requerimiento.’ This Law of Requirement, composed by officials of the Spanish monarchy, was read under ceremonial fanfare wherever Spanish ships landed on American shores. Document 2 is an excerpt from a compilation of oral histories that tell of the conquest of what is now Mexico, from the perspective of the Aztecs themselves. This second document poses many challenges to modern historians. The history of Mexico was passed along from one generation to the next through oral traditions, along with artwork from the period (reproduced in the document). An anthropologist from the mid-twentieth century set these histories to paper. Consequently, the written account, an important source for historians, was created hundreds of years after the original event, which makes historical analysis and interpretation more difficult. INSTRUCTIONS 1) Read Chapter 1 of the textbook 2) Read Document 1, The Spanish Requerimiento of 1510. 3) Read Document 2, Excerpts from The Broken Spears, : The Aztec account Account of the Conquest of Mexico. 4) Answer the questions that appear after the documents and submit your responses in their accepted format in the inbox below by the due date. You should expect each response to be at least 1-2 paragraphs in length. Be sure to label your responses.Your work should consist about 80-90% of your own words. A maximum of 20% similarity score will be accepted and anything above that number will be graded down. Your answers must be complete, unique and in your own words. Do not quote, unless absolutely necessary, since most quoted material can be paraphrased in your own words. Cite all work that you consult at the end of your reply. Skip paper identifiers like date, name, title. Only label your answers. No need to write out the questions. See attachments foe Doc1 & Doc2 Questions to Answer: Document 1: Describe what document 1 is saying. What is the purpose of this document and why do you think it is important for history students to read? Document 2: What is the purpose of Document 2? What can a history student gather from the analysis in Document 2?
