Activity: Open these three links to digital repositories containing resources related to the dropping of the atomic bomb. Browse through each repository (Truman
Library Collections, Voices of the Manhattan Project, and National Security Archive), and think about how useful these repositories would be to you if you were a
historian seeking to write a biography on the scientist Leo Szilard (pronounced SIL-lard) who helped develop the atomic bomb and also campaigned against its use.
1. Truman Library Collections
2. Voices of the Manhattan Project
3. Atomic Heritage Foundation
As you explore each repository, try to locate the following primary sources that you might consult to write a chapter about Szilard’s campaign against dropping the
atomic bomb. Each primary source is located in only one of the above repositories. Try your best to locate each source, but it is OK if you are not able to locate all
three. If you are successful in your search, try skimming through the sources you find.
1. The transcription of the oral history interview with Tom Evans, a close friend of President Truman’s, discussing scientists’ opposition to the use of the
atomic bomb
2. A petition against the use of the atomic bomb circulated by Szilard directed toward President Truman
3. An interview with Lilli Hornig, a scientist who signed Szilard’s petition against the use of the atomic bomb
To do this, develop search terms similar to the examples shown in the Module Two Module Overview. Only use these three online repositories to locate these
sources—do not consult Google or any other search engine. Take notes on the search terms that are successful and keep the links to the sources you find.
Prompt: In two to three sentences, respond to each question. To develop your responses, combine your experience using search terms to locate the three
primary sources in this module with your own reflections on the questions posed. Regardless of whether or not you were able to find all three primary sources,
complete all question prompts before you submit your responses. If you were not able to find the primary sources, let your instructor know what search terms
you did use so he or she can provide you with feedback on how to develop effective search terms.
1. Describe your overall experience locating these primary sources. Was it challenging or straightforward? Do you learn anything interesting along the way?
2. Were you able to locate an interview with Tom Evans, a close friend of President Truman’s, who interacted with scientists who were trying to reach
Truman with their campaign against the use of the atomic bomb? Share your search terms and a link to the primary source.

Introduction Your introduction should include the following· .docx
Introduction
Your introduction should include the following:
· Background information on the topic of your essay. This includes introducing key figures or concepts, as well as providing dates and locations to place your topic in an historical context. Do not assume that your reader knows the topic or the sources that you are using. Always fully introduce your sources, historical figures, and topics.
· A thesis statement. A thesis statement is the argument that you will be proving in your paper. For example, do not make general statements such as, "Phillip II and Henry IV had many similarities and differences." A thesis is a very focused argument. A better thesis statement would be, "Henry IV and Phillip II both faced challenges to the stability of their kingdoms that developed from religious conflicts. While Henry IV was primarily concerned with domestic unrest, Phillip II faced these challenges in outlying regions of his kingdom." You can see that one is much more focused and specific in the points that it will prove in your essay. The following link provides some great information and demonstrates how to create a thesis statement:
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/
1. Body of Paper:
The body of your essay should include the following:
· Historical analysis. Do not simply provide a timeline of events or a list of facts. An historical essays analyzes these events and facts to create a strong argument that proves your thesis.
· The most relevant and important information that you will use to prove your argument. Stay focused on the most important information and try to avoid including random facts that, while interesting, might not connect to, or be relevant to, your argument.
· Historical details and examples. These are the building-blocks of your argument. You should include relevant dates, events, people, and examples to prove your thesis.
· Sources. Your writing should include references to your sources and properly formatted footnotes or in-text citations. Avoid using lengthy quotes to insert historical information the majority of your writing should be your own, not quotes. General historical information can be related in your own words. Reserve direct quotes for examples that prove your point or to briefly relate the ideas of a source. Find a way to transition between your own writing and the quote to fluidly connect the statements.
2. Conclusion
Your conclusion of your essay should do the following:
· Draw together the points that you have raised in the essay.
· Connect your points to a larger revelation about the topic that proves your thesis.
· Avoid using overly general statements or making connections to our current time, unless the essay instructions specifically ask you to make this connection. For example, if you are writing an essay on women regents in Ancient Egypt, you would not end your essay with the statements, “Women have played major political roles throughout time.

Essay #2: Source Integration Paper
Rhetorical Situation:
You are a member of an academic community and you want to publish an article in a prestigious
newspaper to discuss a specific and compelling issue your academic group faces. You have
spoken to the chief editor of the newspaper, and he has asked you to further educate him and his
team on what exactly is the issue, and what is the current state of research and discussion on the
issue?
Assignment Overview
Your task is to write a well-developed essay to uncover the issue that exists in your chosen
academic community. Use minimum five sources to support your claim. At least three of these
sources should be academic, peer-reviewed sources from the University databases. The other
two can be credible web sources.
Don’t just create an imaginary issue. Do your research and try to understand the actual problem
being faced by an academic group of your interest. Once you understand the issue, your task is to
explain that issue to your audience. Try to avoid an argumentative tone. Be more informative.
Use your sources to educate your audience about what research shows to be the current state of
the issue.
Put the five sources into conversation. In putting the sources into conversation with each other,
the paper might explore five types of relationships:
1. Agreement/Similarity (do most of your sources agree on what is being said about the
issue? If so, what is the factor that most sources agree upon?
2. Disagreement/Contrast (Is there any discrepancy of thoughts? If so, what is it that the
sources disagree about?)
3. Corroboration (a source provides evidence that supports the argument of another source)
4. Contradiction (a source provides evidence that undermines the argument of another
source)
5. Cause/Effect (a source explores the causes or effects of something that is observed or
identified in another source)
Understanding and locating these relationships in your sources will help you develop your paper.
In simple words recognizing and showing these relationships in your paper is what the
assignment is asking for.
Assignment Outcomes
Identify and effectively describe a specific and compelling issue for a particular
academic community.
Identify academic and non-academic sources and reference them appropriately. You are
required to use three peer-reviewed, academic sources and two credible and reputable web
sources.
Effectively summarize, paraphrase, and quote material from academic and non-academic
source material using APA guidelines
Accurately identify and analyze relationships between sources
Organize an effective review of the literature on a specific issue
Compile a proper references page using APA guidelines. Your paper should have title page;
but, the essay summary page is not required.

The Rise of Conservatism Since World War II
.” Reflect on the reasons that conservatism gained more popular support in the last part of the 20th century and what effect conservative policies have had on different groups. Think about the many developments that we have explored over the past five weeks and how they have contributed to the political, social, and economic issues that the United States faces today. Think about how history can help us understand the issues of today.

Critical Analysis PaperFor this assignment, you will write a 120.docx
Critical Analysis Paper
For this assignment, you will write a 1200-word critical analysis based on one of the following topics inspired by readings in our textbook, The McGraw-Hill Reader. The paper will include quoting the text, as well as additional research from the library database or another approved and reliable source documented correctly in proper APA format. This paper requires writing in Third Person Point of View in a persuasive mode.
The abstract should be 100 words and the body (excluding the cover page and reference page) of the paper should be 1000 words. Be sure to use the template for a research paper that you created in Week One, and provide direct support from your sources. It would be best to use the readings from your textbook, but other reliable sources should also be used. At least three sources are required. Choose ONE of the following topics.
TOPIC SELECTIONS
Education Is education a right or a privilege?
History, Culture and Civilization What can history teach us?
Government, Politics and Social Justice Is America on the right road?
Business and Economics Is the American Dream still alive?
Philosophy, Ethics and Religion Are there still rules?
These are general topics meant to inspire further exploration and discovery of a narrower subject for your paper. Your essay should be persuasive and explore a debatable idea. See Idea Generators below and how the general topic of education as a right or privilege is narrowed to an examination of integration. Should integration necessarily translate into concrete gains like greater achievement for all students? If so, is mixing students by race the most effective mechanism for attaining it?
First steps for success:
1. Choose a topic
2. Read the essay with pen in hand
3. Underline or note an engaging quote or comment.
Now you are ready to begin!

History 1302 Essay Assessment Assignment
General Information and Instructions:
The purpose of this assignment is to use different historical methods you have learned about during this course to complete a historical research project. Your research project should start with your developing a historical question, that you then research, and then attempt to answer using both primary and secondary sources to support your research.
How to proceed:
1. Select one of the essay topics below in the Essay Options section. There are a total of four possible research options, please read each one to decide which you feel you would like to pursue.
2. Create your specific historical question within the broader essay topic you select.
3. The examples under each essay option are by no means the only topics that you can write about, they are merely provided to help you think about how you might approach this topic. You should select your own topic, however you can choose one of the examples.
4. Begin researching primary and secondary sources to gather information that support your discussion of your historical question.
5. Review the paper requirements for both the research portion and the writing portion of your assignment.
6. Review the grading rubric to ensure that you have met all of the paper requirements before making your submission.
Essay Options (select one of the following options):
Research Option #1: History Turning Points
General Overview: Select an event, incident, a legislative action, or related marked historical moment in the years from Reconstruction until today that marks an important transition in American History. This historical event can lead to a social, economic, or political transition that shaped the country's history. Additionally, you will conclude this research project with a supposition of how history might have been shaped had this event never occurred or of another possible outcome could have been possible.
Examples: How did the new technology of WWI change modern warfare? What could have been the possible benefits and problems if the Freedman's Bureau continued beyond Reconstruction?
Research Objectives & Questions to be Discussed in Your Essay: (Incorporate these questions in the writing of your essay.)
· Why did you select this event?
· What were both the short- and long-term effects of this historical event?
· Who all were impacted/affected by this historical event?
· How was history changed by this event?

Paper OneGo all the way back to Sumerian civilization,” Bil.docx
Paper One
“Go all the way back to Sumerian civilization,” Bill Clinton instructed a crow of global jet-setters at the 2011 World Economic Forum in Davos, “and you’ll see that every successful civilization builds institutions that work, that lift people up and reward people for their greatness. Then, if you look at every one of those civilization, all those institutions that benefited people get long in the tooth. They get creaky. The people ruling them become more interested in holding on to power than the purpose they were designed for. That’s where we are now in the public and private sector” (qtd. in Twilight of the Elites 9)
Chris Hayes, in The Twilight of the Elites, examines what he calls the “near total failure of each pillar institution of our [American] society” (1). The book came out four years ago, in 2012, and looks at events in what he calls the “fail decade,” from 2000-2010 and just beyond.
Here is a list of some of the major failures of various institutions and their “elite” leaders since 2000:
· Jerry Sandusky scandal involving Penn State revealed in 2011
· Bennet Omalu publishes CTE papers in 2005-6 and NFL covers up concussion issues
· 2002—Boston Globe “Spotlight” reporters break the story that Boston’s Catholic diocese covered up child sexual abuse
· 2007-8 global financial crisis
· 2001 (approximate) to present—General Motors ignition switch cover up
· Corruption in corporations and politics: ENRON; Arthur Anderson accounting debacle; Bernie Madoff’s pyramid scheme; various politician resigned, tried, and sometimes put in prison for theft, corruption, sex abuse
· Collapse of traditional journalism and journalistic ethics in the cable news era
· The killings of unarmed Black males by police and resulting cover-ups
· Chicago (schools, Homan Square, murder rate, police cover ups
· Various professional athletes cheating through steroids, drugs, deflated footballs
· Infrastructure issues (collapse of bridges, dams, levees; electrical grid issues; cybersecurity)
· Hurricane Katrina
· Failure to act on intelligence about bin Laden’s intention to use airplanes to attack U.S.
· Manipulation of “intelligence” to provide excuse to invade Iraq
· Political dirty tricks, going back to Nixon’s election in 1972 and continuing through the Russian hacking in 2016
· Exploding debt among college students
· Climate change denial by high political officials and corporations
· “Citizens United” ruling by the Supreme Court
· Asset forfeiture without due process
· Two presidential election that failed in fundamental ways (Bush v. Gore Supreme Court case, voter suppression, Russian hacking)
· Flint, Michigan water poisoning crisis
You may not know about any of these failures, if you don’t follow the news or if you are not from this country. But you can see the failure of government leaders; local, state and federal governments; corporations; banks and other financial institutions; churches, educational institutions; local police and other.
ENG 2100 Fall 2009 Heung
Presentation for a workshop for ENG 2100 (a freshman composition course) at Baruch College. The professor wanted me to focus less on finding sources and more on evaluating and using them.
c. e. Analysis PaperAssignment Each student in this class wi.docx
c. e. Analysis Paper
Assignment: Each student in this class will be responsible for completing a current event analysis paper. This means that you will be analyzing a current event and its connection a World War II event. This paper will be a minimum four (4) to five (5) typed pages with double-spaced, Times New Roman font, and one inch margins on all sides of the paper.
Source: Each paper will include a careful analysis of a current event topic from a major news source. The source can be an internet source, but cannot be a blog or unpublished source. The source must be a national/internationally-recognized news source (e.g. The New York Times, The Washington Post, BBC news, etc…) A copy of this source must be attached to your paper. Any source you use for your historical information (other than class notes) must be documented as well.
A Work cited page must be included in this paper. (MLA or APA guidelines)
Event: You may choose any current events topic, however you must tie the topic to any event in World War II (this does not have to be an event that was extensively covered in class, so long that it deals with WWII).
· Your WW2 topic has to have occurred between the years of 1918 (the end of WWI) and 1945 (the end of WWII).
· Your modern day event has to have occurred in the past 10 years.
· Please clear your topic with me if you are unsure of its appropriateness!!!
Objective: The thesis/objective of your paper must relate your WWII topic and current event topic together in at least one of the following ways:
1) Challenge arguments of historical inevitability by giving examples of how different choices could have led to different consequences. Explain in your paper how an event in WWII could have affected history drastically had in occurred in a different manner. Then connect this concept with an event in contemporary times and explain how different choices in modern society and lead to different possible consequences. (For example, explain how FDR’s decision to intern Japanese-Americans could have affected WW2 and then tie George W. Bush’s decision to support the Patriot Act could have affected the modern-day United States.)
2) Analyze proposed solution to current issues from the perspectives of diverse cultural groups. Choose a WWII event that identifies a particular dilemma/issue of the WWII era and examine how different groups may have viewed the issue (e.g. Jewish relocation/concentration in Germany, the U.S. military draft in WWII, the rationing of food in wartime America, etc…) Similarly, take any current issue in the public eye (e.g. healthcare, war, abortion, welfare, etc...) and tie how this topic is viewed by contemporary cultures. You should be able to tie the cultural perspective of both issues together in the paper.
3) Identify and analyze an issue related to domestic or foreign policy in the United States (e.g. human rights, intervention in conflicts between other countries, or healthcare). Exami ...

Fallacies:
Look over the fallacy discussion and familiarize yourself with some common every day fallacies (i.e.: Post Hoc, False Analogy, Hasty Generalization, Slippery Slope, Straw Man, Begging the Question, Red Herring, Poisoning the Well, Ad Hominem).
Logical Fallacies Handlist:
Fallacies are statements that might sound reasonable or superficially true but are actually flawed or dishonest. When readers detect them, these logical fallacies backfire by making the audience think the writer is (a) unintelligent or (b) deceptive. It is important to avoid them in your own arguments, and it is also important to be able to spot them in others' arguments so a false line of reasoning won't fool you. Think of this as intellectual kung-fu: the art of self-defense in a debate. In general, one useful way to organize fallacies is by category. Below are fallacies of relevance, component fallacies, fallacies of ambiguity, and fallacies of omission.
FALLACIES OF RELEVANCE: These fallacies appeal to evidence or examples that are not relevant to the argument at hand.
Appeal to Force (Argumentum Ad Baculum or the "Might-Makes-Right" Fallacy): Th ...

Global 120 Second Short Paper: Prompts and Cover Page
Fall 2019
Professor Kai M. Thaler
Due November 19 in class
This paper should be between 1250 and 1500 words, and submitted double-spaced, in 12-point font,
with each page numbered. The pages should be stapled together and compiled in this order:
A. Please fill in the cover page included below and put it as your first page.
B. As the second page, please include a copy of the rubric, with check marks in the boxes that you
think reflect the quality of your work. You may include comments to explain your reasoning.
This will help section leaders and me to understand if there have been issues with the clarity of
the assignment and expectations.
C. Your completed paper.
You are not expected to do any outside research or reading, but you can cite arguments, ideas, and
examples from lecture and optional, recommended readings. References to material from readings or
lecture and any short direct quotations must be properly cited. All work, wording, and ideas that are
not cited must be your own. You may choose any one of the following citation formats: APA, MLA, or
either Chicago style, but please use it consistently. Information on these formats is available here:
http://guides.lib.uw.edu/research/citations/citationwhich. If you are using in-text citations, then you must
provide a bibliography at the end listing the sources you have cited.
Prompts and Structure
Please choose one of the two prompts below. You should provide an introductory paragraph about your
chosen topic, present a thesis statement, and then write several paragraphs providing examples and
elaborating on these to support your thesis. You should then have one or two concluding paragraphs
restating your argument and making a case for its significance.
Prompt 1. Colonialism entails a nation or state invading the territory of another nation and ruling in the
colonizers' own interests, rather than those of the local people. Some anti-colonial activists believed that
nonviolence was the best way to end colonial rule and achieve autonomy or independence. Others
argued that colonialism could only be defeated through violent struggle. Is violence justified in fighting
against colonial rule? Why or why not? Formulate an argument and support it using examples, from
readings and lecture, of authors’ arguments and real-world cases.
Prompt 2. In a postcolonial setting, how do new governments try to organize society? Cosmopolitanism
holds that all people are part of a single global community and so its followers advocate inclusion and
cooperation across political borders and differences of identity. Nationalists, while they may sometimes
cooperate across borders, believe that political and social systems should be organized on the basis of
group identity, as opposed to having a more integrated, pluralistic society. Compare and contrast the
cosmopolitan and nationalist pos ...
Assignment 1 Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstructi.docx
Assignment 1: Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstruction through the 1920s
For History 105: Dr. Stansbury’s classes (7 pages here)
Due Week 3 and worth 120 points. The formal deadline is on Monday morning at 9am Eastern Time; this is the next day after Week 3 ends. Watch announcements, emails, and postings for exact dates and any holiday notes that sometimes arise.
[NOTE ON ECREE: The university is adopting a tool called ecree for helping and doing writing assignments in many classes. In our History 105 class, we will be using the ecree program only for EXTRA CREDIT as a tool for doing work on your rough draft of the paper. We hope this approach encourages more rough drafting and revision work by students as well as makes students familiar with this useful new tool. For Assignment 1, in the Week 3 unit, you will see the link “EXTRA CREDIT: ROUGH DRAFT….”—that is where you can get up to 5 points of extra credit. Instructions will be posted there in the early days of the summer course. If you try this option, you will be able to use the file developed in ecree as a rough draft; you will then download that draft and edit it further. Then, once your paper is fully polished and finished as you see fit, you will then submit it at the next link in the Week 3 unit, which says “ASSIGNMENT 1: DEALING WITH DIVERSITY….”. ]
BACKGROUND FOR THE PAPER: This is a 5-paragraph paper based on research in designated sources. It is a position paper in which you support a thesis statement by reason and historical examples. 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. In the South, former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but, despite the Reconstruction period, 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. Examine the two statements below and drawing from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position. [Don’t use this background paragraph in your paper]
Topic and Thesis Statement—choose one of the following as your Thesis Statement:
· THESIS STATEMENT 1: Political policies in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally tried to promote diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few.
· THESIS STATEMENT 2: Political policies in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally tried to hinder or restrict diversity and “the melting pot”, in part because of widespread prejudices.
· Plan to make that thesis statement the last s ...
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provokin.docx
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provoking questions based on the recent reading assignments, video clips and the other websites assigned.
Only complete questions will earn credit. Therefore, it is important for you to think carefully about formulating the kinds of questions intended to stimulate conversations. Ask detailed and specific, rather than broad, general questions. Do not ask, for example, ‘When was the first Mission established in California?’ Instead, ask something like ‘What is the ideological agenda behind maintaining figures like Father Junipero Serra as heroic in California textbooks?’
Other examples include:
Does recent news media coverage of the “riots” in Baltimore, Ferguson and other cities promote a message that is pro-police? If not, how does it engender understanding of the root causes of many of the frustrations of local residents?
In the film “Banned in Arizona,” why does Superintendent Tom Horne argue in favor of “individualism” and why does he say that the Mexican American Studies program encourages radical thinking? What, if anything, is radical about the way those courses teach students in Tucson, Arizona?
If the U.S. reinstated a Vietnam War era-like military draft instead of relying upon the current all-volunteer force, would current public support for war change at all? If so, how?
Please consider these guidelines in composing your questions:
1. Make certain to ask at least one question from each source.
2. Ask questions about things that interest you.
3. Write your questions as though you were asking them to the entire class.
4. Be sure to make specific reference to the readings in each question. Many good questions require at least two sentences.
5. Try and use the questions to critique the author's opinion.
6. These homework questions should attempt to raise larger issues and---when possible---to relate the readings to issues in our current world.
"This week, I want us to think about the concept of
bias
, and its application in the places we consume information. This is tricky territory because even the very presentation of this unit is fraught with bias—my personal bias, or frame of reference. I’m going to ask you to read a collection of articles that I think are important, but they all clearly have a perspective and an agenda that comes from a particular worldview. So let’s get that out in the open. Maybe nothing in your liberal arts education is free from bias, but that does not mean we shy away from considering the information, ideas, arguments and critiques.
What is bias? For the purposes of our consideration, bias is really just about a set of values that can color or distort fair judgment. We can sometimes recognize obvious bias in others, especially when people use overtly discriminatory or offensive language, or have a clear political or ideological perspective that makes everything they present go through that lens. But more than anything else, I want us to think a.

Unit IV Case StudyThe relationship between an agency and the media.docx
Unit IV Case Study
The relationship between an agency and the media is important to ensure that a strong flow of information is maintained
during a crisis. However, an agency must maintain control over the information released and the methods used to provide
a consistent and effective message. This is important in ensuring that the public maintains their trust and faith in the
agency. One of the best ways to make sure this occurs is through a strong standard operating procedure that focuses on
information release and media relations.
Develop a two- to three-page standard operating procedure regarding media interaction and information sharing. At a
minimum, ensure that the following items are addressed in a professional manner (not just bulleted items):
1. Who will serve as the public information officer? Address any secondary points of contact.
2. What information can and cannot be released? Consider the implications of HIPAA and potential ongoing
investigations.
3. What methods of media will be used? If social media is used, what information will be shared and who is
responsible for the content?

Be sure to use the template for a research paper that you created in Week One, and provide direct support from your sources. It would be best to use the readings from your textbook, but other reliable sources should also be used. At least three sources are required. Choose ONE of the following topics.
TOPIC SELECTIONS
Education Is education a right or a privilege?
History, Culture and Civilization What can history teach us?
Government, Politics and Social Justice Is America on the right road?
Business and Economics Is the American Dream still alive?
Philosophy, Ethics and Religion Are there still rules?
These are general topics meant to inspire further exploration and discovery of a narrower subject for your paper. Your essay should be persuasive and explore a debatable idea. See Idea Generators below and how the general topic of education as a right or privilege is narrowed to an examination of integration. Should integration necessarily translate into concrete gains like greater achievement for all students? If so, is mixing students by race the most effective mechanism for attaining it?
First steps for success:
1. Choose a topic
2. Read the essay with pen in hand
3. Underline or note an engaging quote or comment.
Now you are ready to begin!

Essay Options (select one of the following options):
Research Option #1: History Turning Points
General Overview: Select an event, incident, a legislative action, or related marked historical moment in the years from Reconstruction until today that marks an important transition in American History. This historical event can lead to a social, economic, or political transition that shaped the country's history. Additionally, you will conclude this research project with a supposition of how history might have been shaped had this event never occurred or of another possible outcome could have been possible.
Examples: How did the new technology of WWI change modern warfare? What could have been the possible benefits and problems if the Freedman's Bureau continued beyond Reconstruction?
Research Objectives & Questions to be Discussed in Your Essay: (Incorporate these questions in the writing of your essay.)
· Why did you select this event?
· What were both the short- and long-term effects of this historical event?
· Who all were impacted/affected by this historical event?
· How was history changed by this event?
· If you were to imagine a different outcome or reaction to your event, what do you suppose might have been a different outcome in the short- and long-term?
Research Option #2: Oral History and Historical Memory
General Overview: You will read two historical personal accounts in relation to life in the past or tied to a specific historical event. Then your research will compare these personal accounts with the "factual" or "documented" history of the era. Next, proceed to compare the personal account against the ...
Paper OneGo all the way back to Sumerian civilization,” Bil.docx
Paper One
“Go all the way back to Sumerian civilization,” Bill Clinton instructed a crow of global jet-setters at the 2011 World Economic Forum in Davos, “and you’ll see that every successful civilization builds institutions that work, that lift people up and reward people for their greatness. Then, if you look at every one of those civilization, all those institutions that benefited people get long in the tooth. They get creaky. The people ruling them become more interested in holding on to power than the purpose they were designed for. That’s where we are now in the public and private sector” (qtd. in Twilight of the Elites 9)
Chris Hayes, in The Twilight of the Elites, examines what he calls the “near total failure of each pillar institution of our [American] society” (1). The book came out four years ago, in 2012, and looks at events in what he calls the “fail decade,” from 2000-2010 and just beyond.
Here is a list of some of the major failures of various institutions and their “elite” leaders since 2000:
· Jerry Sandusky scandal involving Penn State revealed in 2011
· Bennet Omalu publishes CTE papers in 2005-6 and NFL covers up concussion issues
· 2002—Boston Globe “Spotlight” reporters break the story that Boston’s Catholic diocese covered up child sexual abuse
· 2007-8 global financial crisis
· 2001 (approximate) to present—General Motors ignition switch cover up
· Corruption in corporations and politics: ENRON; Arthur Anderson accounting debacle; Bernie Madoff’s pyramid scheme; various politician resigned, tried, and sometimes put in prison for theft, corruption, sex abuse
· Collapse of traditional journalism and journalistic ethics in the cable news era
· The killings of unarmed Black males by police and resulting cover-ups
· Chicago (schools, Homan Square, murder rate, police cover ups
· Various professional athletes cheating through steroids, drugs, deflated footballs
· Infrastructure issues (collapse of bridges, dams, levees; electrical grid issues; cybersecurity)
· Hurricane Katrina
· Failure to act on intelligence about bin Laden’s intention to use airplanes to attack U.S.
· Manipulation of “intelligence” to provide excuse to invade Iraq
· Political dirty tricks, going back to Nixon’s election in 1972 and continuing through the Russian hacking in 2016
· Exploding debt among college students
· Climate change denial by high political officials and corporations
· “Citizens United” ruling by the Supreme Court
· Asset forfeiture without due process
· Two presidential election that failed in fundamental ways (Bush v. Gore Supreme Court case, voter suppression, Russian hacking)
· Flint, Michigan water poisoning crisis
You may not know about any of these failures, if you don’t follow the news or if you are not from this country. But you can see the failure of government leaders; local, state and federal governments; corporations; banks and other financial institutions; churches, educational institutions; local police and other.
ENG 2100 Fall 2009 Heung
Presentation for a workshop for ENG 2100 (a freshman composition course) at Baruch College. The professor wanted me to focus less on finding sources and more on evaluating and using them.
c. e. Analysis PaperAssignment Each student in this class wi.docx
c. e. Analysis Paper
Assignment: Each student in this class will be responsible for completing a current event analysis paper. This means that you will be analyzing a current event and its connection a World War II event. This paper will be a minimum four (4) to five (5) typed pages with double-spaced, Times New Roman font, and one inch margins on all sides of the paper.
Source: Each paper will include a careful analysis of a current event topic from a major news source. The source can be an internet source, but cannot be a blog or unpublished source. The source must be a national/internationally-recognized news source (e.g. The New York Times, The Washington Post, BBC news, etc…) A copy of this source must be attached to your paper. Any source you use for your historical information (other than class notes) must be documented as well.
A Work cited page must be included in this paper. (MLA or APA guidelines)
Event: You may choose any current events topic, however you must tie the topic to any event in World War II (this does not have to be an event that was extensively covered in class, so long that it deals with WWII).
· Your WW2 topic has to have occurred between the years of 1918 (the end of WWI) and 1945 (the end of WWII).
· Your modern day event has to have occurred in the past 10 years.
· Please clear your topic with me if you are unsure of its appropriateness!!!
Objective: The thesis/objective of your paper must relate your WWII topic and current event topic together in at least one of the following ways:
1) Challenge arguments of historical inevitability by giving examples of how different choices could have led to different consequences. Explain in your paper how an event in WWII could have affected history drastically had in occurred in a different manner. Then connect this concept with an event in contemporary times and explain how different choices in modern society and lead to different possible consequences. (For example, explain how FDR’s decision to intern Japanese-Americans could have affected WW2 and then tie George W. Bush’s decision to support the Patriot Act could have affected the modern-day United States.)
2) Analyze proposed solution to current issues from the perspectives of diverse cultural groups. Choose a WWII event that identifies a particular dilemma/issue of the WWII era and examine how different groups may have viewed the issue (e.g. Jewish relocation/concentration in Germany, the U.S. military draft in WWII, the rationing of food in wartime America, etc…) Similarly, take any current issue in the public eye (e.g. healthcare, war, abortion, welfare, etc...) and tie how this topic is viewed by contemporary cultures. You should be able to tie the cultural perspective of both issues together in the paper.
3) Identify and analyze an issue related to domestic or foreign policy in the United States (e.g. human rights, intervention in conflicts between other countries, or healthcare). Exami ...

Fallacies:
Look over the fallacy discussion and familiarize yourself with some common every day fallacies (i.e.: Post Hoc, False Analogy, Hasty Generalization, Slippery Slope, Straw Man, Begging the Question, Red Herring, Poisoning the Well, Ad Hominem).
Logical Fallacies Handlist:
Fallacies are statements that might sound reasonable or superficially true but are actually flawed or dishonest. When readers detect them, these logical fallacies backfire by making the audience think the writer is (a) unintelligent or (b) deceptive. It is important to avoid them in your own arguments, and it is also important to be able to spot them in others' arguments so a false line of reasoning won't fool you. Think of this as intellectual kung-fu: the art of self-defense in a debate. In general, one useful way to organize fallacies is by category. Below are fallacies of relevance, component fallacies, fallacies of ambiguity, and fallacies of omission.
FALLACIES OF RELEVANCE: These fallacies appeal to evidence or examples that are not relevant to the argument at hand.
Appeal to Force (Argumentum Ad Baculum or the "Might-Makes-Right" Fallacy): Th ...

Professor Kai M. Thaler
Due November 19 in class
This paper should be between 1250 and 1500 words, and submitted double-spaced, in 12-point font,
with each page numbered. The pages should be stapled together and compiled in this order:
A. Please fill in the cover page included below and put it as your first page.
B. As the second page, please include a copy of the rubric, with check marks in the boxes that you
think reflect the quality of your work. You may include comments to explain your reasoning.
This will help section leaders and me to understand if there have been issues with the clarity of
the assignment and expectations.
C. Your completed paper.
You are not expected to do any outside research or reading, but you can cite arguments, ideas, and
examples from lecture and optional, recommended readings. References to material from readings or
lecture and any short direct quotations must be properly cited. All work, wording, and ideas that are
not cited must be your own. You may choose any one of the following citation formats: APA, MLA, or
either Chicago style, but please use it consistently. Information on these formats is available here:
http://guides.lib.uw.edu/research/citations/citationwhich. If you are using in-text citations, then you must
provide a bibliography at the end listing the sources you have cited.
Prompts and Structure
Please choose one of the two prompts below. You should provide an introductory paragraph about your
chosen topic, present a thesis statement, and then write several paragraphs providing examples and
elaborating on these to support your thesis. You should then have one or two concluding paragraphs
restating your argument and making a case for its significance.
Prompt 1. Colonialism entails a nation or state invading the territory of another nation and ruling in the
colonizers' own interests, rather than those of the local people. Some anti-colonial activists believed that
nonviolence was the best way to end colonial rule and achieve autonomy or independence. Others
argued that colonialism could only be defeated through violent struggle. Is violence justified in fighting
against colonial rule? Why or why not? Formulate an argument and support it using examples, from
readings and lecture, of authors’ arguments and real-world cases.
Prompt 2. In a postcolonial setting, how do new governments try to organize society? Cosmopolitanism
holds that all people are part of a single global community and so its followers advocate inclusion and
cooperation across political borders and differences of identity. Nationalists, while they may sometimes
cooperate across borders, believe that political and social systems should be organized on the basis of
group identity, as opposed to having a more integrated, pluralistic society. Compare and contrast the
cosmopolitan and nationalist pos ...
Assignment 1 Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstructi.docx
Assignment 1: Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstruction through the 1920s
For History 105: Dr. Stansbury’s classes (7 pages here)
Due Week 3 and worth 120 points. The formal deadline is on Monday morning at 9am Eastern Time; this is the next day after Week 3 ends. Watch announcements, emails, and postings for exact dates and any holiday notes that sometimes arise.
[NOTE ON ECREE: The university is adopting a tool called ecree for helping and doing writing assignments in many classes. In our History 105 class, we will be using the ecree program only for EXTRA CREDIT as a tool for doing work on your rough draft of the paper. We hope this approach encourages more rough drafting and revision work by students as well as makes students familiar with this useful new tool. For Assignment 1, in the Week 3 unit, you will see the link “EXTRA CREDIT: ROUGH DRAFT….”—that is where you can get up to 5 points of extra credit. Instructions will be posted there in the early days of the summer course. If you try this option, you will be able to use the file developed in ecree as a rough draft; you will then download that draft and edit it further. Then, once your paper is fully polished and finished as you see fit, you will then submit it at the next link in the Week 3 unit, which says “ASSIGNMENT 1: DEALING WITH DIVERSITY….”. ]
BACKGROUND FOR THE PAPER: This is a 5-paragraph paper based on research in designated sources. It is a position paper in which you support a thesis statement by reason and historical examples. 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. In the South, former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but, despite the Reconstruction period, 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. Examine the two statements below and drawing from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position. [Don’t use this background paragraph in your paper]
Topic and Thesis Statement—choose one of the following as your Thesis Statement:
· THESIS STATEMENT 1: Political policies in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally tried to promote diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few.
· THESIS STATEMENT 2: Political policies in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally tried to hinder or restrict diversity and “the melting pot”, in part because of widespread prejudices.
· Plan to make that thesis statement the last s ...
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provokin.docx
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provoking questions based on the recent reading assignments, video clips and the other websites assigned.
Only complete questions will earn credit. Therefore, it is important for you to think carefully about formulating the kinds of questions intended to stimulate conversations. Ask detailed and specific, rather than broad, general questions. Do not ask, for example, ‘When was the first Mission established in California?’ Instead, ask something like ‘What is the ideological agenda behind maintaining figures like Father Junipero Serra as heroic in California textbooks?’
Other examples include:
Does recent news media coverage of the “riots” in Baltimore, Ferguson and other cities promote a message that is pro-police? If not, how does it engender understanding of the root causes of many of the frustrations of local residents?
In the film “Banned in Arizona,” why does Superintendent Tom Horne argue in favor of “individualism” and why does he say that the Mexican American Studies program encourages radical thinking? What, if anything, is radical about the way those courses teach students in Tucson, Arizona?
If the U.S. reinstated a Vietnam War era-like military draft instead of relying upon the current all-volunteer force, would current public support for war change at all? If so, how?
Please consider these guidelines in composing your questions:
1. Make certain to ask at least one question from each source.
2. Ask questions about things that interest you.
3. Write your questions as though you were asking them to the entire class.
4. Be sure to make specific reference to the readings in each question. Many good questions require at least two sentences.
5. Try and use the questions to critique the author's opinion.
6. These homework questions should attempt to raise larger issues and---when possible---to relate the readings to issues in our current world.
"This week, I want us to think about the concept of
bias
, and its application in the places we consume information. This is tricky territory because even the very presentation of this unit is fraught with bias—my personal bias, or frame of reference. I’m going to ask you to read a collection of articles that I think are important, but they all clearly have a perspective and an agenda that comes from a particular worldview. So let’s get that out in the open. Maybe nothing in your liberal arts education is free from bias, but that does not mean we shy away from considering the information, ideas, arguments and critiques.
What is bias? For the purposes of our consideration, bias is really just about a set of values that can color or distort fair judgment. We can sometimes recognize obvious bias in others, especially when people use overtly discriminatory or offensive language, or have a clear political or ideological perspective that makes everything they present go through that lens. But more than anything else, I want us to think a.

Unit IV Case StudyThe relationship between an agency and the media.docx
Unit IV Case Study
The relationship between an agency and the media is important to ensure that a strong flow of information is maintained
during a crisis. However, an agency must maintain control over the information released and the methods used to provide
a consistent and effective message. This is important in ensuring that the public maintains their trust and faith in the
agency. One of the best ways to make sure this occurs is through a strong standard operating procedure that focuses on
information release and media relations.
Develop a two- to three-page standard operating procedure regarding media interaction and information sharing. At a
minimum, ensure that the following items are addressed in a professional manner (not just bulleted items):
1. Who will serve as the public information officer? Address any secondary points of contact.
2. What information can and cannot be released? Consider the implications of HIPAA and potential ongoing
investigations.
3. What methods of media will be used? If social media is used, what information will be shared and who is
responsible for the content?

Unit II ScholarlyActivity Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide fo.docx
Unit II Scholarly
Activity Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide form an acidic compound in the atmosphere when they react with the moisture (humidity) in the air. These are transported in by the prevailing winds from coal-fired power plants in Ohio and are often rained out in the mountains of New England (e.g., New Hampshire and Vermont).The rains form runoff that travel to streams and eventually to lakes where the higher forms of life are eradicated.
Locate a case where acid rain has adversely affected a lake in either Vermont or New Hampshire.
Prepare the text of an e-mail that you would write to the EPA describing the damage, the cause, the fix, and the response, along with your recommendation describing how they should regulate coal-fired power plants in Ohio.
Your response should be a minimum of one page in length, not including your title page and reference page. Any outside sources you choose to use should be scholarly sources. All sources used, including textbooks, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.

Unit II Reflection PaperReligious Ceremony ObservanceY.docx
Unit II Reflection Paper
Religious Ceremony Observance
Your task in this assignment is to observe a religious ceremony (any ritual, festival, or worship) and write a reflective paper about that experience.
You may observe a ceremony of a different denomination or sect of your religion as long as the ceremony is different in some way from what you are used to. For instance, if you are Roman Catholic, you can observe a Pentecostal worship service, as the liturgy is vastly different.
This assignment is about observation, not participation. You may observe a ceremony in video form, if necessary, but it is better to witness the ceremony first hand so that you may use all of your senses to describe the event.
Reflective Writing
Reflective writing is very similar to journal writing, but there is less focus on you as the writer, and more focus on the event and an academic reflection of that event. You are more likely to use readings from the course or other outside sources to support your analysis of the event.
Reflective writing consists of two main parts: a description and a reflection. The writer must first describe the event or situation that is the topic of the writing. The description should be objective—facts and detailed observations. Then the writer reflects on the experience with personal feelings and opinions, followed by an analysis of those feelings.
What is the point of reflective writing in an academic setting? Reflective writing helps you examine why you think the way you do and thereby provides a learning experience. By careful analysis of the facts of an event or situation, and then the same careful analysis of your own preconceived ideas and whether they are strengthened or changed by the experience, you will be able to gather and observe practical and personal evidence to support or challenge what might be an abstract idea in your profession or in the area of academics being studied.
This is one of the few times in academic writing when it is appropriate to write in the first person.

For this homework assignment, you will be asked to put yourself in the role of an investigative reporter for a nationally published magazine. Crime rates in the United States are a hot topic recently, and your magazine has assigned you to be the lead reporter for a report on procedures being put into place within the field of corrections, specifically those involving diversion and probation.
Your editor has designated this as the cover story and featured article within the magazine, and has asked that you be sure to include the following in your report:
1. Describe diversion and probation and what they involve; include how they are alike, and how they differ.
2. Examine and briefly describe the original concept and evolution of each within the United States.
3. Explain how diversion and probation have been used within the field of corrections.
4. Based on research you discover, analyze the pros and cons to using diversion and probation. Are there different pros and cons to using them for different types of offenders?

6. Finally, examine the work of a probation officer. Provide supporting evidence that the work of a probation officer helps reduce the crime rate. Conclude with the dangers that they face in their line of work, specifically citing one researched incident since 2013, and examine ways that could help improve the environment a probation officer is a part of.

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

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.

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.
