Part 2 Essay Questions:
1 - Explain how improvements in transportation and communication made possible the rise of the West as a powerful, self-conscious region of the new nation. Discuss the internal borderlands within the West.
2 - Discuss the impact of the market revolution on women and African-Americans (both free and slave).
3 - Explain the shift from artisan to factory worker, and discuss the factory system. What were the advantages and disadvantages? Who was left out? Who benefited? What were some ways workers responded?
4 - Thoroughly describe the arguments made that linked American freedom to westward expansion. Who or what were obstacles to freedom in the pursuit of expansion? How did Americans deal with those obstacles?
5 - Explain how transcendentalism and the Second Great Awakening affected the definitions of freedom. How were both movements a response to the market revolution?
6 - One German newcomer wrote that “there aren’t any masters [in America], here everyone is a free agent.” How accurate a statement was that? Why would a German immigrant view America as free? Do you think an Irish immigrant would feel the same way about America? Why or why not?
7 - The admittance of Missouri to the Union sparked a national crisis. Describe the debates that led up to the final compromise. How does the Missouri Compromise illustrate that sectional issues would surely arise again?
8 - Explain how Democrats and Whigs viewed liberty and the role of government in securing liberty.
9 - Analyze the arguments that were presented during the nullification crisis. Be sure to comment on how Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun interpreted the Constitution differently and how each defined the rights of states. Finally, speak to how the crisis illustrated the growing sectional differences in America.
10 - Thinking back to previous chapters, analyze America’s policies toward Indians from the Washington administration through the removal of Indians from the southeastern states in the 1830s and early 1840s. What ideas and policies about Indians remained the same? Which changed? Why?

1. The shift from agriculture to industrialization during this per.docx
1. The shift from agriculture to industrialization during this period fundamentally changed American society. Are sweeping social changes always the result of huge economic shifts? If so, why do you think so? If not, then why was industrialization and the Gilded Age different from later changes in the American economy (for example, the Information Age)?
2. The “Muckrakers” helped expose corrupt and unhealthy practices in major corporations and industry. These led to government reforms and a host of new laws to regulate industrial and corporate practices. Is the best way to ensure clean and healthy practices by business to create and enforce laws or should some other mechanism, like the consumer market, be used to keep companies in line? Why?
3. Some of the primary reasons for American entry into the First World War were centered on the issue of economic, military, or political security. Do you think the U.S. still has an interest in achieving global security through military intervention? Why?What alternatives are there that can/should be explored?
4. Prior to the Second World War, the world was a dangerous place in large part due to clashes of cultures and races. What were some of these racial and cultural beliefs? Do we see parallels with today… and is the world a more or less dangerous place than it was during the 1930s and 1940s.
5. World War Two and the Cold War was pitched to Americans, and the world, as a fight between freedom and tyranny. In American, however, major segments of the population remained oppressed. Has America ever really been open to differences in political ideology (Capitalism vs. Socialism or Communism), differences in culture, and differences in racial heritage? Can we say that this divergence between American ideology and American practice was, in itself, another cause that kept the Cold War going?
6. Why do you think that the United States, by the 1970s having an impressive edge in military power and technological achievements, would pursue the policy of Détente to ease Cold War tensions?Did such a move signal American weakness or exhaustion with a long political war?How do you think the thaw in the Cold War affected the United States during the 1970s?
7. How did the policies of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush (the elder), form a realignment of American values? Given what we know and have experienced in later presidencies and challenges of modern society, do you think these changes stuck or were these merely short-lived expressions of a backlash against the 1960s and 1970s. Why?

Original Prompt
Folks,
What are the building blocks of American exceptionalism and how did they (and continue to) influence foreign policy? In thinking about this question let's try to draw a line between past uses of the term and current expressions.
Response
American exceptionalism is deep rooted in our history, and difficult for me to understand as a contemporary citizen. The Beautiful Lie of American Omnipotence in combination with Mead’s The American Foreign Policy Legacy began to enlighten me a little as to how American foreign policy came to be exceptionalism, and more importantly, how we are still operating under exceptionalism in the light of a new era, where: “our commitments have grown massively… but our resources are not what they once appeared (qtd. In Beinart).”
The foundation of American exceptionalism is, as far as I can tell, a huge amount of military clout, and natural resources. The nation was built by nationalist pride and a strong desire for independence. Once the United States had been established as a nation, exceptionalism was fostered by the geographic location (oceans on either side, posing little threat) and the political climate of Democracy that made America feel as though it were a city on a hill as Winthrop said. With the strength of the US military, we were never forced to give up this national image, even though, today political rhetoric clings to an empty shell of what nationalism once was.
“The American character, wrote Arthur Schlesinger Sr., ‘is bottomed upon the profound conviction that nothing in the world is beyond its power to accomplish’ (Beinart 1).” The passage quoted here goes on to explain how because of this conviction ...

CONNECTING WITH MILLENNIALS (information found in Making Space f.docx
CONNECTING WITH MILLENNIALS
(information found in Making Space for Millennials by Barna Group, 2015, p. 7.
“Five major reasons that millennials stay connected with a Christian community:
1. Cultural discernment – engaging with the wider culture as a faith community, to assess and respond biblically to its effects on human flourishing.
2. Life-shaping relationships – consistent long-term friendship with at least one older Christian adult who invests time and resources into their lives.
3. A first-hand experience of Jesus – the confidence, through seasons of doubt and pain, that comes from having personally experienced God’s revelation in Christ.
4. Reverse mentoring – being valued for the knowledge, skills, and energy they can offer to older members of the community of faith.
5. Vocational discipleship – whole –life spiritual formation that includes understanding their work as a God-given calling.

1. The shift from agriculture to industrialization during this per.docx
1. The shift from agriculture to industrialization during this period fundamentally changed American society. Are sweeping social changes always the result of huge economic shifts? If so, why do you think so? If not, then why was industrialization and the Gilded Age different from later changes in the American economy (for example, the Information Age)?
2. The “Muckrakers” helped expose corrupt and unhealthy practices in major corporations and industry. These led to government reforms and a host of new laws to regulate industrial and corporate practices. Is the best way to ensure clean and healthy practices by business to create and enforce laws or should some other mechanism, like the consumer market, be used to keep companies in line? Why?
3. Some of the primary reasons for American entry into the First World War were centered on the issue of economic, military, or political security. Do you think the U.S. still has an interest in achieving global security through military intervention? Why?What alternatives are there that can/should be explored?
4. Prior to the Second World War, the world was a dangerous place in large part due to clashes of cultures and races. What were some of these racial and cultural beliefs? Do we see parallels with today… and is the world a more or less dangerous place than it was during the 1930s and 1940s.
5. World War Two and the Cold War was pitched to Americans, and the world, as a fight between freedom and tyranny. In American, however, major segments of the population remained oppressed. Has America ever really been open to differences in political ideology (Capitalism vs. Socialism or Communism), differences in culture, and differences in racial heritage? Can we say that this divergence between American ideology and American practice was, in itself, another cause that kept the Cold War going?
6. Why do you think that the United States, by the 1970s having an impressive edge in military power and technological achievements, would pursue the policy of Détente to ease Cold War tensions?Did such a move signal American weakness or exhaustion with a long political war?How do you think the thaw in the Cold War affected the United States during the 1970s?
7. How did the policies of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush (the elder), form a realignment of American values? Given what we know and have experienced in later presidencies and challenges of modern society, do you think these changes stuck or were these merely short-lived expressions of a backlash against the 1960s and 1970s. Why?

Original Prompt
Folks,
What are the building blocks of American exceptionalism and how did they (and continue to) influence foreign policy? In thinking about this question let's try to draw a line between past uses of the term and current expressions.
Response
American exceptionalism is deep rooted in our history, and difficult for me to understand as a contemporary citizen. The Beautiful Lie of American Omnipotence in combination with Mead’s The American Foreign Policy Legacy began to enlighten me a little as to how American foreign policy came to be exceptionalism, and more importantly, how we are still operating under exceptionalism in the light of a new era, where: “our commitments have grown massively… but our resources are not what they once appeared (qtd. In Beinart).”
The foundation of American exceptionalism is, as far as I can tell, a huge amount of military clout, and natural resources. The nation was built by nationalist pride and a strong desire for independence. Once the United States had been established as a nation, exceptionalism was fostered by the geographic location (oceans on either side, posing little threat) and the political climate of Democracy that made America feel as though it were a city on a hill as Winthrop said. With the strength of the US military, we were never forced to give up this national image, even though, today political rhetoric clings to an empty shell of what nationalism once was.
“The American character, wrote Arthur Schlesinger Sr., ‘is bottomed upon the profound conviction that nothing in the world is beyond its power to accomplish’ (Beinart 1).” The passage quoted here goes on to explain how because of this conviction ...

Essay Question 2:
The late 1960s and 1970s were turbulent years both at home and abroad for the United States. Evaluate the failures and successes of the Nixon presidency during this period focusing on the issues of Civil Rights, the Vietnam War, America’s relations with Communist China and the Soviet Union, and Watergate. What was the impact of the Nixon years on the presidency and political participation? How did conservative ideas shape the social, cultural and political landscape of the 1980s and 1990s?
Essay Question 1:
Assess the conflicting political and economic goals of the United States and the Soviet Union for the postwar world, and how these clashing aims launched the Cold War. Why did fear of Communists in positions of influence escalate in the late 1940s and early 1950s? Did the emphasis on containing Communism impact the U.S. decision to engage militarily in Korea and Vietnam?
Essay Question 2:
In the 1980s and early 1990s, the Republican Party’s pursuit of conservative agenda led to the reversal of the liberal policy that had guided America since the New Deal years.

CONNECTING WITH MILLENNIALS
(information found in Making Space for Millennials by Barna Group, 2015, p. 7.
“Five major reasons that millennials stay connected with a Christian community:
1. Cultural discernment – engaging with the wider culture as a faith community, to assess and respond biblically to its effects on human flourishing.
2. Life-shaping relationships – consistent long-term friendship with at least one older Christian adult who invests time and resources into their lives.
3. A first-hand experience of Jesus – the confidence, through seasons of doubt and pain, that comes from having personally experienced God’s revelation in Christ.
4. Reverse mentoring – being valued for the knowledge, skills, and energy they can offer to older members of the community of faith.
5. Vocational discipleship – whole –life spiritual formation that includes understanding their work as a God-given calling.

Which of the following is true in a monopolyA.)Business owner.docx
Which of the following is true in a monopoly?
A.)Business owners should focus on pricing products correctly so customers will choose it over other products.
B.)Business owners should focus on other business functions, since advertising will not impact the success of their products.
C.)Business owners should use marketing to emphasize the unique features offered by their products.
D.)Business owners should bring their products to market quickly, before another company can create a similar product
This is the Passage for this question
1. Suppy and Demand
The law of demand in economic terms is defined as a downward sloping curve on a graph where price is the y-axis and quantity is the x-axis. What we're going to see is as price goes down, quantity sold increases. So, as a product becomes more available at a lower price, people will tend to want to buy more of it, and therefore, the quantity demanded will go up.
The law of supply, on the other hand, is the opposite story. As the price increases, more producers will want to get into the market, which will affect how much product will be available in the market, because more people are coming in and trying to make a profit on the current price. As price goes lower, the law of supply says that the quantity will also go down.
1a. Market Price and Equilibrium
Market price
is the current price of a good or service at which a customer is willing to pay. Let's put our supply and demand curves together on a graph, and set the market price at the point marked with the dot. This will represent, given the current situation, what a customer is willing to pay.
hint Keep in mind that these things are always in flux, so you'll never see them static, like they're represented here. This is just for the sake of demonstration.
Equilibrium price
is the price at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied will meet. Recall where we set our market price, the price at which a customer is willing to pay given the supply of a particular product. What's going to happen is that the lines will move around until equilibrium is met, as shown below.
This is the price, given the supply and demand curves, where price will be at an equilibrium, all other things being equal.
terms to know
Market Price The current price of a good or service which a customer is willing to pay Equilibrium Price The price at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied meet
1b. Surplus and Shortage
Surplus
is when there's more supply of a product than demand.
Shortage
is when there's more demand for a product than there is supply.
This is going to affect the price, obviously. Surpluses will mean lower prices, while shortages mean higher prices.
The size of a business is going to have an effect on how they can cope with surpluses and shortages. Larger organizations have more flex--more money--available, and they're able to look for more substitutions for a product than a smal.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
