Revolutionary War

Assignment Instructions For this assignment, you need to visit the .org/">National Archives Experience. Historians typically use two types of materials, secondary source, and primary source documents. Secondary sources are typically books and articles written on a particular historical event, well after the fact. Primary source documents are usually generated by first-hand participants. Good historians rely heavily on original materials created at the time of the event. For this reason, historians spend a good deal of time at the archives. There are many types of archives, but by far, the largest in the United States, is the National Archives in Washington, D.C. The National Archives contains more than 10 billion documents, and they have collected over 1,200 of those in the National Archives Experience. After you have opened the above link, click on “continue” in the bottom right corner. This will take you to the Experience site. Here, you can select a topic, and collect documents relevant to that aspect of history. The system will then allow you to create posters, or even a video. There are a number of ways that you can complete this assignment. Once you have collected your documents, you can create three posters, a video, a PowerPoint, or use them as evidence for writing a 3-5 page essay. Naturally, you will need some other information, and you can gather that through the internet, or other books and articles. It is best to avoid using textbooks. Poster Option: Must include a minimum of one relevant image or document for each poster. Each poster must include a narrative that explains the historical significance. Video Option: Must include a minimum of five relevant images or documents. Video must include a narrative that explains the historical significance. PowerPoint Presentation:(The National Archives will not allow you to download their images. To complete the powerpoint you will need to collect your images from the internet. Be sure to cite all images collected elsewhere.) Must include a minimum of five slides. Presentation must include a narrative that explains the historical significance. .apus.edu/access/content/group/arts-and-humanities-common/UG-History/a6c5c7b0-70f5-4b97-adf0-dfc7c256a700/101%20Assignment%201%20rubric.docx">Project Assignment Rubric Paper Option: If you are writing a paper, it must be double-spaced (Times New Roman, font size 12), and include a cover page with your name, course number and course title, instructor’s name, and date.

POL 300, Assignment 2: Current Events and U.S. Diplomacy

This paper will be a revised and expanded version of the first research paper. Based on your instructor’s feedback, you will first revise the first paper. I put Assignment 1 in the attachments below and you need to read the first research paper before you do Assignment 2. Assignment 2: Write three-to-four (3-4) new pages that address the following: Define presidential doctrine and summarize the regional or global events during the Cold War leading up to the formation of the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1. Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between the country you selected and the U.S. before the presidential doctrine was announced. Describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and the country you selected in section (2) above. Describe the effect that the presidential doctrine has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War. Assess whether or not the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1 doctrine had had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the country you selected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced. Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources. To help you understand this assignment further, the following description and examples may be useful. Step 1: Define doctrine and identify why a president would want to announce one. A doctrine is an ideological platform that a president uses to advance a policy towards a country or region in order to accomplish foreign policy goals for the United States, so you will need to expand on this theme. Refer back to Assignment 1, and build on whatever doctrine you wrote about then. Say, for example, you selected the Truman Doctrine. Therefore, this is the only thing you will write about in Assignment 2 step 1. Step 2: Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between it and the U.S. Before the presidential doctrine was announced. In the case of Truman, you would pick either the Soviet Union, Greece, or Iran, since all three were affected by his doctrine. If you are writing about the Eisenhower Doctrine, you would choose Lebanon or Egypt; if you wrote about the Kennedy Doctrine, you would have write about Cuba or Vietnam; if your wrote about the Nixon Doctrine, you would choose either Vietnam, Saudi Arabia or Iran; if you chose Carter, you would select either Iran or Afghanistan; and if you wrote about the Reagan Doctrine, you would select Nicaragua, Angola, Russia or Afghanistan (although there were several others). Step 3: Describe what effect the presidential doctrine you chose has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War. That is, how did the doctrine change the status quo regionally or globally after it was announced by the U.S.? What happened in Western Europe after the Truman Doctrine was announced? What happened in the Middle East after the Eisenhower Doctrine was announced? What happened with Cuba or Vietnam after Kennedy offered up his doctrine of flexible response? What happened in Southeast Asia or the Persian Gulf after the Nixon Doctrine went in effect? What happened in the Middle East after the Carter Doctrine was announced? What happened in Central America or Africa or the Middle East after Reagan announced his doctrine? Step 4: Refer back to the country you selected in step two and describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and that country. How has the relationship changed between the U.S. and that country since the doctrine was announced? Step 5: Evaluate whether or not the presidential doctrine had had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the one country you selected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced. Your assignment must: Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: Identify the cultural, economic, and political context of information resources, and interpret information in light of that context. Use technology and information resources to research issues in international problems. Write clearly and concisely about international problems using proper writing mechanics.

Writing in regard to the specific case of the outbreak

Writing in regard to the specific case of the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, but in terms that could be applied to many other conflicts, James Joll argued that “…we have an enormous range of possible‘causes’of the First World War from which to choose our explanation, and the choice is, if not an arbitrary one, one which is conditioned by our own psychological interests and preconceptions.Some political scientists have found the acceptance of such a plurality of individual explanations intolerable and have attempted to quantify the factors in the pre-1914 situation so as to be able to measure their relative importance, and by assessing the balance of power in objective terms, show precisely what circumstances led to the war.While this…approach can be helpful to historians in suggesting significant factors which they might otherwise underestimate, it necessarily has limitations when it comes to assessing the significance of what are by their nature unquantifiable variables such as states of mind and questions of what is loosely called‘morale,’even if it is possible to work out—though this is no means certain—an accurate estimate of the economic and strategic factors which cause international instability.” James Joll,Origins of the First World War,2cd edition, Longman: 1992, p. 236 Do you agree with Joll’s argument that most wars (1) have many overlapping causes and (2) often involve factors that are hard to quantify or objectively evaluate? Based on our readings an d discussions so far, as well as your own experiences and historical readings, offer your appraisal of this approach to war in a short (400-600 word) essay.You are free to use any sources and readings you wish, but all should be cited.Be sure to make a clear thesis statement and argument and use examples to support your analysis. 3 pager

ART-223534-02) Images of Women in Western Civilization discussions

Discussion one: In this discussion activity, I will model the kind of Leading Discussion exercise that you will be taking on, starting Week 3.Typically, there will be three or more discussion leaders each week, and each leader is to initiate one leading post. For this week, you will see three leading posts and only need to participate in/follow up on discussion under these leading posts.First, as the leader, I focus on a few topics and questions from the assigned readings that I think will help us begin analyzing images of women in ancient times. For example, let's consider some "perspectives" that women's history scholar Sarah Pomeroy (1995) has taken to understand how women were perceived in ancient times. Below are the three Instructor-led discussion prompts:1. Mythology and Stereotypes: While reading Chapter 1, Goddesses and Gods, what sort of images do you think mythology creates for women? Do you think that some of the assumptions or stereotypes toward women might have evolved from mythology? What are the assumptions or stereotypes that you find interesting or problematic?2. Documenting Women's Lives in Ancient Times: As I continue reading Pomeroy's Goddesses, Whores, Wives, and Slaves, (from Introduction to Chapter 3), I notice that she points out several reasons why women's creative work and lives are not well recorded throughout history. What are the reasons? How does the lack of sufficient information affect our understanding of women's lives in ancient times? Whose lives get recorded?3. Codes of a Patriarchal Society: To delve deeper into what women's and men's lives were alike in the early Western civilization, please share some particular gender "codes" or "rules" you find in Chapters 2 or 3. Are there any codes or rules you find particularly unexpected or curious? Do you see any codes that have continued to live on and be practiced (directly or indirectly) even today? How does a code reflect the societal needs and context in different times?Throughout the week, join your classmates in discussion of the topics, issues, and questions raised by the discussion leaders; however, please don't be too anxious to respond to all the posts. Choose the ones that you are prepared to answer first and then continue to explore others throughout the week. You may point out additional issues or topics presented in the text, raise more questions, offer additional resources, or provide further insights into women's lives in ancient civilization.Reminder:Be sure to read .esc.edu/mod/page/view.php?id=1644570">Instructions for Student-led and Class Discussions to prepare for this discussion-intensive course. And review discussion evaluation criteria in .esc.edu/mod/page/view.php?id=1644569">Learning Contract page to learn about how your discussion will be evaluated. *Discussion two: (student lead discussion topic as follows)Being a woman in Athens during the classical society certainly did not sound inviting. It appeared as though the women had no influence and were considered a minority to the democracy. Athenian Women were dominated by the male society and their role in this setting was to procreate and produce heirs for the Polis. As girls reached puberty they were usually married off to men much older than themselves (30 years old). Martial considerations were negotiated based on wealth political standings. Marriages made within families such as a first cousin were seen as desired. This way financial resources were kept within the family lineage and there were no trust issues.A dowry was a primary consideration when marrying off a daughter. Interestingly enough the young women of Athens had little say in their societal goingons however when it came to the dowry the women appeared quite attractive to male suitors.Daughters received a share of their family wealth. However the father could ask for the return of his daughter at any time, especially if a divorce took place. The new wife was entitled to the wealth of the family she married into. Without a dowry a marriage was not considered “legal”. Lastly a young Athenian woman that was married would preferably be a virgin, making them more desirable. And the birth of a child, especially a male was considered a goal of the marriage. * discussion three: (student lead discussion topic as follows)As we read, The Roman Matron to The Elusive Women of Classical Antiquity is it uncertain whether any true idea of equality for women emerged? Please share your examples. According to Pomeroy (1995) : Cornelia Africana married Tiberius Gracchus and bore him twelve children, not common at that time in Rome. “Cornelia exercised a profound influence on Roman politics. She was herself educated, and her letters were published” (p150). She is also recognized as she remained faith full to her deceased husband and refused the marriage proposal of King Ptolemy. She is referred to as univira“one man” woman. Why was she idealized?What was the median age for wives in Rome at this time? Why was the age of men greater? The Women of The Roman Lower Classes, did the household duties of female slaves differ from those reviewed in Greece? Could the Lower Class woman of Rome receive education? Who represented the the large part of the working class? Is prostitution in existence at this time?What role of women in the religion of the Rome caught your attention? Were you surprised to read about the crude gestures when the woman passed the Temple of Chastity?The cult of Isis although centered on Egyptian gods & goddess can be entwined, in my opinion, that of Christianity? When Isis was able to resurrect Osiris it reminded me Jesus resurrecting Lazarus a miracle mentioned in the bible John 11. Did anyone else think the same?ReferencePomeroy, S. (1995).
