There are seven questions below. You need to pick any FOUR. Yo.docxrorye
There are seven questions below. You need to pick any
FOUR
. Your choice. Discuss each of your four choices IN-DEPTH. Make sure to cover the key elements: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. Your requirement is for each of the four responses to be between
300-
words (approximately 2- pages)...make sure all grammar, spelling and punctuation are correct (they do count!). Best of Luck....there are 25 points, of course, for each question.
QUESTIONS PICK ONLY 4 PLEASE
1. In the late 1800’s, Alfred Thayer Mahan created the concept of national superpowers based on how the British Empire was so successful during most of the 1800’s. He was attempting to get the United States out of it’s isolationist point of view. The United States did not truly become aware of Mahan’s philosophy until the Spanish-American War in 1898. To become a superpower, Mahan came up with four pillars...they were the creation of a large merchant marine, the creation of a large navy to protect that merchant marine, sea lanes of communication (SLOCs) and the control of strategic coaling stations. Explain each of these four pillars and what the United States did in reaction to them. What is a SLOC and how does it impact England, the Middle East, Australia and Guadalcanal? What happened during the Washington Conferences in the 1920’s in regards to numbers, sizes, and tonnage of battleships? How do Mahan’s four pillars apply today (especially with the United States)?
2. During World War I, the American forces almost arrived too late to change the outcome of the war. However, Americans had participated in the war at an earlier stage as flyers with the French in the Lafayette Escadrille. Discuss the use of these flyers and their impact on the war. What key aircraft were used by all sides from the beginning the war? How did the flyers solve the problem of the use of machine guns firing through their own propellers? Make SURE to discuss at least four different types of aircraft. What were Zeppelins and how were THEY used in combat? Name an “ace” from each side....NOT Rickenbacker or...the “Red Baron”. What IS an “ace” anyway?
3. Throughout the entire World War II in the Pacific, there was a constant battle between the US Army and the US Navy on tactics, strategy, and targets. The “combatants” were Admiral Chester Nimitz and General Douglas MacArthur. It finally came down to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the President to somewhat settle this problem. The Navy was given the Central Pacific and the Army was given the Southern Pacific. The US Marines supported both avenues. What were the key events and places taken in battle by the Navy and Marines from 1943 to 1945.....and what were the key events and places taken in battle by the US Army and Marines during the same time period? Why was MacArthur so fixated on the Philippines? Why was the Navy so fixated on Okinawa and Iwo Jima?
4. During WWII, in the North African, Italian and Northern Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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” 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.

11. Writing Letters Home
The attack on Pearl Harbor was the beginning of the war against
Japan for the United States. The attack sank battleships,
destroyed others, and left Americans shocked and angry. Using
your book and your knowledge of this event, and if World War 2,
you are to write a letter from home from the point of view of a
person involved in this attack.
There are two points of view to choose from. The first option is
to write as an American sailor who was attacked at Pearl Harbor.
You can fill your letter with a description of the attack, the
results, and your feelings on what will happen in the near future.
The second option is to write as a Japanese pilot who bombed
Pearl Harbor. You can fill your letter with a different description
of the attack, the results, and your feelings on what will happen
in the near future. Remember to write as a person in December
1941. There is no knowledge of the atomic bomb, FDR’s death,
the Holocaust, or many other aspects of World War 2.

• One page long. If typed, double-spaced, one page, Times New
Roman font, 12 pt. If written, fill the entire page.

have an appropriate greeting and ending.

how battleships were bombed, what the American response was,
and what the results of the battle were.

truly explaining an important event to a family member who has no
idea what war is like, or what it’s like to fly.

13. Propaganda Poster
During World War II, the U.S. Government made many posters trying to
convince Americans the war was something they should take part in, in some
way. Join the army, save food, save fuel, work a different job, do something to
help America win the war. When you try and convince someone that
something is the right thing to do, you use propaganda to influence people’s
thoughts and actions.
• You will design your very own poster to try and convince Americans to join
the war effort. Do not copy one that you have seen on these websites.
• You have been shown examples in class of what these posters were like.
You can also see additional samples by using the following websites.
• www.worldwar1.com
Your poster should have:
• Words- they should be catchy and creative and your own
• Pictures- Drawn (one computer generated/printed picture)
• Cover the whole page
• Be neat and creative
