History

Imagine that you are Director of Exhibitions at the (fictional) Museum of American Sport. The museum has decided to display a collection of late-19th-century sporting guides for the public — the same guides we have been examining in our recent modules. Prepare an essay of 750-1000 words about these guides, targeted at museum-goers, to be published in the souvenir program accompanying the exhibition. What were these guides, what did they contain, what were their purpose(s), and what important things do they reveal about American sport in the nineteenth century?

Is it the logical pattern of government that resulted from the Industrial Revolution? What countries fell to Fascist leaders? Why? How did these leaders use art to show and increase their power?How did the movies become such an important part of American culture during this time? Who were some of the people who made this happen? How did the movies become the huge business it became during this time?After WWII, Western art entered a period in which a new sort of art developed. Called “abstract” this form of art is often puzzling to new viewers, yet it says something about both the people who created it and the culture and world that inspired it. What is “abstract art” and why do you think people chose to express themselves this way in the middle of the 20th century? Use one artist who created abstract art and tell us why you think they did that sort of art.What was the Beat Generation? Using two examples of American writers who were “Beat” artists, tell us what their work says about America in the 1940’s and 1950’s.The”Blues”is a uniquely American art form.

I need the assignment by 03/13. It is an untest for history where we have to write about three IDs, basically stuffs that happened in the history and then we have to write about connections about how they are connected and then we need to write about geography, the place where an incident happened and why the geography was related to the incident, and finally we need to write about what we learnt from all the stuffs. For better understanding of what the professor expects us to write, I have attached the word document for the question and a sample of the answer.

Step ONE: Identify the nature of the source material. Which readings are primary or secondary sources? Are they fictional works or do they present any evident bias?Step TWO: Choose TWO READINGS from the assigned documents to perform a compare/contrast analysis. Video material is not acceptable in this assignment.If you choose a primary and a secondary source, then think about how the primary source fits into the narrative/position of the secondary source.If you choose two primary sources, then compare how they represent different viewpoints or perspectives on important issues.If there is only one assigned reading, then extract two meaningful examples instead of comparisons.Step THREE: Draw TWO meaningful comparisons between the two documents that reveals important insight into the historical period/topic of the week. The comparison may be any similarity or difference, but should focus on explaining how it helps historians understand the past. Think about how and why things happened the way they did. Figure out what you think is the most significant SIMILARITY between the two passages.Consider the author’s perspective (national origin, class, ideology etc) for each document.STEP FOUR: If these documents were the source material for your research project, what would your preliminary research question or thesis statement be? This should be no more than two sentences and cover the main idea that you would try to argue.Ex. Using the works of Robespierre and St. Just, this paper will argue that the violence of the French Revolution was created by their interpretation of the needs of the French nation rather than their philosophical beliefs.Be ambitious but with limits. Lay out a provable case that makes a strong a point, regardless of whether you are fully convinced that it is the case. You will be evaluated on the composition and effect of the ideas rather than the perfectness of the answer.Step FIVE: Create one discussion question that you can propose to the class during seminar. It should be a ‘why’ problem that poses an issue for debate rather than demanding a specific factual answer. Ex. ‘Why didn’t Frankenstein name the Creature?” instead of “Did Frankenstein name the Creature?”Do NOT use quotations or paraphrase the document. You may refer to specific passages but do not summarize the document. “ex. Where Thomas Paine talked about hereditary right, he was focused on the legitimacy of an absolute monarchy.” The paper should consist entirely of your own ideas and opinions about the sources using a compare/contrast approach. Therefore, citations should never be required. If you do quote/paraphrase then include citations.

What makes Shakespeare’s play a tragedy?Describe some of the elements that you feel make this play a Tragedy? (Give examples from the play, describe some of the “Preventable” events, What causes them to occur?- Don’t tell me the plot! Hint: She drops a handkerchief…what happens? is that preventable? )*Note- Emotions, Communication, and Misunderstandings are not preventable! Do not tell me that “Othello just needed to talk to Desdemona” or that “Iago couldn’t have prevented everything by not doing the following…” these are Hypotheticals, and are not facts. You must look at the events of the play and find the ones that could have been stopped. In the case of the Handkerchief.Do not say that “Desdemona shouldn’t have dropped it, that’s why she’s dead now”One- that’s victim blaming and was a totally accident.Two- Emelia GIVING the handkerchief to her husband is the event. If she didn’t do that, then Iago wouldn’t have been able to see his plot all the way through. Emelia immediately knows that something is wrong the moment this event happens as well (thinking that her husband may show her love again… and he simply doesn’t).Think of this as if it was a court of law. What are the facts? What are the actually events and/or actions that happen that could have been prevente

You should provide a word count at the end of your essay.Do not copy the question — simply indicate the number of the question and start your essay. I am going to evaluate your essays based on two criteria: form (i.e., organization of essay and grammar) and content (i.e., what you say).I am asking you to summarize the argument in Flores-Gonzalez’s book, Citizens but not Americans. That is, take her argument and put it in your own words. Do not insert your opinion. If you do, it will count against your grade. You are not to use direct quotes from the book, except for definitions of technical terms such as ethnorace.The exam is due before midnight on Sunday, March 14th. Late exams will be penalized at a rate of 5.7 points out of 100 for every 24 hours that it is late, starting with the first 24 hours.Choose one question:Q1: According to Flores-González, three components support an ethnoracial framework for Latino millennials: coupling of ethnicity and race, Latino prototype, and the weight of Latin American ancestry (Chapter 3). Discuss each of the components of this framework and provide examples. For ethnorace, use the definition by Linda Martin Alcoff. Please keep the definition short. Provide succinct examples.Q2: In chapter 4, Flores-González discusses her narrators’ assessment of their location on the racial order in the United States. What social, economic and cultural characteristics (e.g., skin color, social class, language) led Latino millennials to place themselves in the solid racial middle, the racial middle tilting white, and the racial middle tilting black? How does Latinos’ perception of their location in the racial middle affect their sense of racial exclusion and marginalization? Provide succinct examples.
