History of Canada- Exploration, Colonization, & Changes in Power
The First Nations people crossed the Bering Land Bridge and settled in Canada over 12,000 years ago. The Inuit are one of the First Nations still living in Canada today, notably in the territory of Nunavut. Europeans first arrived in Canada in 1000 CE as Norse settlers but later abandoned the settlement. John Cabot claimed eastern Canada for England in 1497. French explorer Jacques Cartier claimed the area along the St. Lawrence River for France in 1534, later establishing Quebec City in 1608. Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War, gaining control of Canada through the 1763 Treaty of Paris. Canada's increasing cultural diversity led to its confederation as a self-governing dominion within

After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war,
After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war, handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms. However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. Reconstruction was partly a period of military occupation of the south by the northern victors. Former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but faced old prejudices and rapidly forming new barriers. Immigrants from Europe and Asia came in large numbers but then faced political and social restrictions. Women continued to seek rights. Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that period from 1865 to the 1920s. Take one of the positions as suggested below, draw from the sources listed, and present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.
Possible position—in each case you can take the pro or con position:
The Lost Cause narrative of the South effectively sabotaged and influenced racial policy in the US for most of the post-Civil War period. (or you can take the position that it did not)
Political policies in the decades after the Civil War generally promoted diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few. (or you can take the position that political policies did not)
Reform movements between 1865 and 1930, like the Progressives and the agrarian populists, generally led the way to increased democracy. (or you can take the position that these movements did not)
After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.). Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues:
The position you choose (from the list above)—or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph.
To support your position, use three specific examples from different decades between 1865 and 1930. You may narrowly focus on race or gender or immigrant status, or you may use examples relevant to all categories.
Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours.
Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact issues in your workplace or desired profession?
Length:
The paper should be 500-to-750 words in length. This normally means 3-to-4 pages for the body of the paper. (The title page and Sources page do not count in these calculations.) Double-space between lines. Format instructions are below.

WRITING ADVICEPromptIn 6-8 pages develop an argument.docx
WRITING ADVICE
Prompt
In 6-8 pages develop an argument about the key
factors determining successful presidential
leadership in the modern era (FDR forward).
Your argument should be deeply rooted in the
scholarly literature on the presidency. Develop
your argument in more detail by exploring two
cases where a president attempted to provide
leadership in some way. The cases that you
select should be narrow (e.g. FDR and the
passage of the Social Security Act rather than
FDR and the New Deal).
Prompt (cont.)
You only have a few short pages to discuss each
case and it is better to be an inch wide and a
mile deep than a mile wide and an inch deep. I
think that the easiest way to do this would be to
choose a policy or action widely viewed as a
historical success and another that is widely
viewed as a historical failure (e.g. Truman’s
Marshall Plan and Nixon’s invasion of Cambodia).
However, you do not need to follow this mold.
You could also compare two successes or two
failures.
Prompt (cont.)
In the development of your mini-case studies, you
should draw heavily from the Green Library’s
large collection of newspapers (available online).
For each case, you should be citing from The New
York Times and other online newspaper databases
from the week surrounding the event. This will help
give your cases much more depth. I also
encourage you to find other supplemental
sources like presidential biographies, journal
articles, academic books, primary documents,
and oral histories about the actual event to bolster
What do you need?
A theory of presidential leadership
developed from the scholarly literature
• Two interesting cases that you’ll analyze in
light of that theory
Developing a theory
Look for books and articles about presidential
leadership
• Look for useful references in the “suggested
readings” section of your textbook
• Where do you start? http://library.fiu.edu
• Search books for “presidential leadership” or other
important key terms that you might be interested in
• Sign in from off campus to have access to articles (“Log
in for Access” on the yellow toolbar)
• Go to “Find > A-Z List > G > Google Scholar” to make
your way to Google Scholar from off campus
What about the cases?
Explore the appendix in Greenstein (233-274)
• Read newspapers from the time
• Produce copies or directly transcribe into a Word
document with the information that you will need for
citations and references
• “Blah, blah, blah... Marshall Plan...” (Greg A. Halpriggs,
“The Marshall Plan,” NY Times, March 27th, 1948, Section
A-11, Paragraph 4). Not an actual citation or reference
(just the info you will eventually need)
• Look for scholarly works on the cases in the
same way that you did for your theory
Organization
Write a strong thesis statement that clearly
elaborates your main argument and organizes
your paper:
• Ex. “Ultimately, the paper contends that the failure of
President Nixon’s invasion of Cambod.

HIS 100 Topic Exploration Worksheet
Part 1
Select a research topic area for Project 1 based on which of the following areas interests you the most. You will explore the selected topic a little later in this theme. Mark your selection in the right-hand column.
Topic
Selection
Drafting of the U.S. Constitution
x
Mao Zedong’s Rule Over China
South African Apartheid
Choose Your Own Topic (insert pre-approved topic here)
In the space below, replace the bracketed text with a short paragraph about what you already knew prior to this course about the topic you selected, based on your personal history or experiences. This may include assumptions, beliefs, or values related to the topic. Be as detailed as possible.
The drafting of the U.S. Constitution began on 5/25/1787 when the Constitutional Convention met for the first time in Pennsylvania. The Convention ended on 9/17/1787. The Constitution was made of seven articles, twenty-seven amendments, and the major Principles of Government embodied in the Constitution. It is signed eleven years after the Declaration of Independence. It is not one of the founding documents of America. This important document guaranteed basic rights for every citizen. One of the most remembered amendments is the thirteenth due to the abolish of slavery.
Part 2
Now that you have identified your topic and described what you already know about the topic, what questions do you still have about the topic? Replace the bracketed text with your answers.
Question
Response
Identify one question about the topic that you are curious about.
Why was the Constitution written?
Describe why this question matters to you personally.
It affects my right of freedom of speech and the right to vote. I can go to any church I choose. I can also own a firearm.
Describe why this question matters to society.
It dived power among the government and the states.
Identify a second question about the topic you are curious about.
Should the President of the United States have absolute power?
Describe why this question matters to you personally.
This would matters to me personally because if the President has complete control then he would have control over our electronic communications; including financial records.
Describe why this question matters to society.
The U.S. is in Danger. Insufficient government. Institutional reform is the challenge and the nation’s success in meeting it will determine out future as a nation.
Part 3
You are now ready to complete the final part of your Topic Exploration Worksheet. You have chosen a topic, posed some research questions, and are ready to start thinking about what kind of sources you will need to investigate your research questions further. Using the library guide in the Shapiro Library provided for your chosen topic, skim through the suggested resources (or find your own) and replace the bracketed text with relevant information about your research questions.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
