Vietnam -> Bakke
The Vietnam War began as American involvement to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. The U.S. supported South Vietnam against North Vietnam and communist Viet Cong forces. Despite massive U.S. bombing and troop escalation, North Vietnam launched the surprise Tet Offensive in 1968, weakening U.S. public support for the war. Growing anti-war sentiment led to large protests and influenced Lyndon Johnson's decision not to seek re-election. Richard Nixon took office promising to end the war but secretly expanded bombing of Cambodia and Laos. After years of fighting and over 58,000 U.S. deaths, the U.S. withdrew from Vietnam in 1973 following a ceasefire agreement. North Vietnam reunited

Power point rules
The document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint presentations, including following the three-part structure of introduction, body, and conclusion. It recommends using bullet points, short phrases, and clear, consistent formatting. Slides should have no more than 7 lines with 7 words each, and use large fonts, graphics, and media to engage audiences while avoiding excessive text. Narration should expand upon and clarify slides, not just read text.
Unconscious prejudice
This document discusses stereotyping, prejudice, and unconscious bias. It notes that stereotyping is often unintentional and implicit, influenced by visual cues. While stereotyping can promote efficiency, it can also lead to inappropriate judgments. The document explores why people favor their own groups, the role of competition for resources, and the motivation to view one's own group positively. It suggests that unconscious bias can impact workplace effectiveness and discusses an ethical decision-making model for addressing difficult issues related to prejudice.

The annotation is indented further than the citation and discusses the main ideas and quality of the source, relating it to the research topic. A sample annotated bibliography is provided with three annotated citations as examples.
The Jackson Era
The political system changed under President Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) as he expanded democracy. Jackson opposed the national bank and vetoed its recharter, believing it helped elites.

COMMUNICATION WITHIN GROUPS
The document discusses group communication and defines it as verbal or nonverbal messages sent between group members with the intent to influence each other's behavior. It explores sending and receiving messages effectively and analyzes communication patterns through interaction analysis, authority hierarchies, and communication networks. The most effective communication occurs in groups with cooperative climates.

The document also defines key terms like social change, cultural lag, and globalization and provides discussion questions about different aspects of social change and social movement theories.
What does it mean to work in groups?
The document provides an overview of group dynamics and the scientific study of groups. It discusses how Kurt Lewin was an early pioneer in the field in the 1940s and predicted that understanding group dynamics would be important for creating a better world. The document also summarizes various aspects of group dynamics research, including what constitutes a group, stages of group development, factors that make groups effective, and the history of the field being established through the work of researchers in the early 20th century exploring social interaction and groups.
Need for critical thinking in research
Critical thinking skills are important for making good decisions but are often lacking. People commonly make poor choices and excuses like "I wasn't thinking" or "how was I supposed to know?". Critical thinking involves consciously reflecting on choices, clearly defining issues, considering options and consequences, and using logic over emotion. Both individuals and organizations like the FBI and CIA have shown lapses in critical thinking that led to negative outcomes. Developing critical thinking is important for success in life and career.
Citizenship internment wwii
This document provides background information on the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. It discusses the nativist sentiment against Asian immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During World War II, over 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their homes and incarcerated in internment camps following Executive Order 9066. The document includes images showing Japanese Americans registering for internment, waiting to board trains to internment camps, and life in the camps, highlighting the injustice and hardship they faced.
Time mangement
The document discusses time management techniques for college students. It recommends preparing by creating a time log to identify how time is spent. It suggests organizing with a master calendar, weekly schedule, and to-do lists. For working effectively, it advises following schedules, controlling communications, and balancing priorities. The document also provides tips for evaluating accomplishments, rethinking time management approaches, and considering long-term goals when planning time use. Key aspects of the time management approach discussed are to prepare, organize, work, evaluate, and rethink one's approach in the P.O.W.E.R. plan.
Evaluating deductive reasoning and fallacies
The document discusses deductive reasoning and deductive fallacies. It explains that a deductively valid argument is one where the premises cannot be true and the conclusion false without changing the meanings of terms or rules of grammar. Certain language configurations form valid argument templates. Reasoning can be done deductively about declarative statements, classes of objects, and relationships using templates like denial of the consequent. However, there are also fallacious templates that appear valid, such as affirming the consequent. Fallacies occur in reasoning about classes through mistakes like false classification or about relationships through errors like false identity. Precision is needed to avoid fallacies in one's own reasoning and when evaluating others' arguments.
Chapter 3 (problem solving)
The document introduces a 5-step problem solving process called IDEAS. The steps are: I) Identify problems and set priorities, D) Deepen understanding and gather information, E) Enumerate options and anticipate consequences, A) Assess the situation and make a preliminary decision, and S) Scrutinize the process and self-correct. The document then provides examples of how the IDEAS process can be applied to common problems college students may face, such as social relationships, vocation, academics, health, emotional well-being, and spiritual development.
Chapter 5
The chapter discusses analyzing and mapping arguments and decisions. It covers defining an argument as a reason plus a claim, mapping claims and reasons, interpreting unspoken reasons and claims in context, and analyzing real life arguments. The chapter also discusses using argument maps to depict the analysis of reasons presented in support of a conclusion and using maps to analyze decisions around canceling a spring trip.

Specifically, it describes an experiment conducted using blog debates that surveyed a population of voters on their preferences for online debate formats using a Likert scale. The scale was found to be a valid measurement tool for that population and could potentially be used for other populations when collecting Internet-based responses.
Small Group Communication Theory
The document discusses several theories for understanding small group dynamics and processes. It explains that theories aim to explain phenomena, predict outcomes, and combine facts into a comprehensive understanding. Some of the theories covered are systems theory, social exchange theory, and symbolic convergence theory. The document also discusses concepts like fantasy themes, group structures, variables that influence groups, and components of group functioning like communication, leadership, and cohesiveness.
