This document discusses an 11-week course that covered major historical events and issues in United States history from 1865 to the present. It covered periods like Reconstruction, the Progressive Era, Jim Crow, the Roaring 20s, the Great Depression, the Cold War, the Civil Rights movement, and the digital age. Throughout these eras, people struggled for rights and freedoms and had to adapt to significant economic, technological, legal, and social changes. The document instructs students to reflect on how a specific historical event impacted their own life long-term and how another event influenced the modern workplace long-term.

1. This week we have no new reading or subjects. Over the 11-
week course, we have covered many events and issues that arose
in the United States between 1865 and today. From the era of
Reconstruction, the Progressive era and Jim Crow, the roaring
20s and the Great Depression, the Cold War and Civil Rights
struggles, on through the age of Information to now. We have
seen many examples of people struggling for rights and
freedoms and people having to adapt to significant changes in
the economy, technology, laws, and society. We have seen
military engagements impact lives and our country. Think about
these various periods and challenges.
Please do the following two things for your main post in our
last discussion—this reflection:
Choose a specific historical event or example and reflect on the
“long range” effect of it on your own life.
Choose another historical event and reflect on the “long range”
impact on the modern workplace—perhaps on the profession
you have chosen.
