History

What is history? Why should we study history? Within the context of our stories concerning Christopher Columbus, Native Americans, the Pilgrims, or slavery, discuss how historians (Zinn and Loewen) have dealt with the above issues specifically. How have history textbooks begun to complicate our histories even further? With regard to the above topics, how have your readings and studies in this class differed from the ways in which these topics have been portrayed (all the way back to elementary school) to you in previous classes? In the quote above, W.E.B. DuBois suggests that in our studies of history, when we skim over the bad parts, our histories begin to lose their value as “incentive and example.” What does he mean by this? What are the far-reaching consequences of the ways in which so many of us have been taught history?

Now I need to write an essay for my college in a short time, but I have absolutely no time due to work. I found a writing service https://papercheap.co.uk/ on the Internet, and I am interested to know the opinion of those who used their services? Can they write my essay in a short time and for a small amount of money?

This week, you have two different content areas for your discussion question. A paragraph for each area. Both paragraphs need to be science-informed responses using references outside of the course (paragraph = 8 sentences)First paragraph: Select only 2 specific physiological effects of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder that occur during prenatal development, and then describe how those effects cause specific problems later in life. Points will only be given for specific examples, e.g., Let’s say the consequence you select is the head size. The head may never fully develop during prenatal development and the child is born with a small head (not talking about the brain, just head size), then discuss how this characteristic (small head size) effects the child throughout development to adulthood. Don’t use this example. Make sure you provide in-text citations with corresponding reference list. Use science-based resources only.Second Paragraph: Answer the question. Is there a safe amount of alcohol intake during pregnancy? Support your answer with science-based citations/references. Remember all paragraphs are define as complete sentences.Before submitting check and make sure the two physiological effects are very specific. Most students lose points because they end up not answering the question because they talk broadly about FASD effects rather than zeroing in on two physiological effects and developing them in detail. I hope this helps keep you on track.The first link is an overview, in plain language, of the physiological effects of alcohol: https://www.alcohol.org.nz/alcohol-its-effects/about-alcohol/what-happens-when-you-drink-alcohol The following link focused on physiological effects with adolescent alcohol misuse: https://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh283/125-132.htm The third link is a list of physiological consequences of alcohol misuse: https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohols-effects-bodyThe next required link is focused on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/brochures-and-fact-sheets/fetal-alcohol-exposureWhat is the difference between healthy liver versus a cirrhotic liver. See this video clip from Dr. Drew. A picture is worth a thousand words: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Alcohol+Effects+On+Body+and+Mind+dr+drew&&view=detail&mid=9FB6A88B97E0870B238C9FB6A88B97E0870B238C&FORM=VRDGAR If you have got to this point in reviewing the course learning resources — yeah. I love this short powerful video on the liver. For 2 extra credit points that can only be applied to one of the three main projects (experiential 1, 2, and/or research project, go to the introduction section, titled Drew’s Liver and confirm that you read the Learning resources this week and viewed this video.If the links are broken under the Learning Resources.

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 citationsREADINGS-CHOOSE ONLY 2.Avalon Project – Treaty of Westphalia (yale.edu)Internet History Sourcebooks (fordham.edu)Internet History Sourcebooks (fordham.edu)

3.) How did the rhetoric of World War II bring the contradiction between the principle of equal freedom and the actual status of blacks to the forefront of national life? One black woman said about the war that it was Hitler that got blacks out of the white folks’ kitchen. How did they “move out of the kitchen” and what forces were behind those achievements?F

Our Semester Writing Assignment is based on Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography. Franklin was truly one of the greatest men of his generation. His discoveries, inventions, and enlightened attitudes improved the lives of everyone around him.

The Republican victory in 1896 gave heart to proponents of prosperity through foreign trade. McKinley sought neither war nor colonies, but many in his party wanted both. Called “jingos,” they included Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt; John Hay, the ambassador to London, and senators Albert Beveridge and Henry Cabot Lodge. Britain, France, and Germany were seizing territory around the world, and jingos believed the United States needed to do the same for strategic, religious, and economic reasons.QUESTION (give response in 1-2 paragraphs):Several reasons are proposed explaining why the United States decided to join the “Imperialist Club”. Which argument was the strongest, and which argument was the weakest? Explain your position.
