NEED "A" WORK WITH NO PLAGIARISM

Assignment 1 Article Critique

Pick a research topic that is of interest to you. Make certain that the topic is notable enough to locate at least one published article. Some examples of effective topics could relate to: home town, a prominent family member, place of worship, annual (local) cultural event, locally specific profession/interest, or local leader. After you have selected your topic, locate at least one peer-reviewed article about your selected topic's experience in the years between the world wars (1920-1936) and write a minimum 600 words article discussing the perception of the experience from your topic's point of view. Make certain to include the following:

· how the return from war, and return to war, affected families and surrounding demographics;

· how economic challenges might have affected your topic's experience;

· how the migrations of numerous social and economic groups during this time impacted your topic;

· any impact that social movements, such as Flapper Culture, Lost Generation, or the Harlem Renaissance, had on the cultural interests of your topic; and

· any New Deal programs which may have affected your topic.

Failure to use appropriate resources or resources that are available in the university library, or if your source(s) do not meet the expectations of this assignment, it can lead to deductions. Articles used for this project need to be accessible to the class and professor. You can use links to multiple databases, including "Academic OneFile" and "Academic Search Complete" (aka Ebscohost).

Assignment 2 Essay

The list below includes some provocative discussions related to the events in the unit’s reading. You will choose one to write an essay, in a minimum of 2 pages, in which you will take a first-person perspective of the situation, describe the debate in your own words, and provide a justified and academically defended argument for one side or the other. The essay will need to reflect your understanding of the time to avoid being anachronistic, and your argument must relate to one of the viable outcomes from that time.

· As a multi-generational American citizen, in the wake of Pearl Harbor, do you support the internment of your Japanese neighbors?

· As an 18 year old, male high school senior, are you eager or fearful of going to war?

· As an 18 year old, female high school senior, are you eager or fearful of going into the wartime factories?

· Is the crisis in Europe something that the U.S. should join in; or should the U.S. remain isolated? (Use a perspective from no later than November 1941.)

· Is the possibility of ending the Depression reason enough to join the war?

· Whichever first-person topic above you select, you must consider the influence of the below factors and conditions which are relevant to all the topics and provide historical detail relevant to your topics:

· perceptions or impacts of limitations on and advocacy for civil rights,

· influence by propaganda or stereotypes,

· impacts of international events or crises, and

· impacts of economic conditions.

As this is a point of view essay, a modern perspective will not accurately address what the question is asking for. To complete this assignment, a minimum two (2) reputable sources must be used, cited, and referenced, only one of which can be an assigned or provided text or source; it is strongly suggested that the one selection is from the provided source book and used as research of the event and/or views of the time. Inappropriate resources, or failure to use resources can lead to deductions. All sources and their use must be appropriately identified per 6th edition APA format.
