Final Project Instructions:

Watch the documentary The Corporation (linked below). Write a five-page paper (double-spaced, standard margins and font) in which you critically evaluate the film. Do NOT submit an attachment, which will not be opened. In evaluating the film, refer to chapters 6-10 in your textbook and make at least three specific connections between the film and relevant concepts in the chapters (e.g., you might consider what the book’s discussion of Citizens United [2010] implies about key arguments in the film). Be sure to cite the relevant page numbers in the book.

DO NOT use any other sources or any other external sites, including Grammarly and AI sites: DOING SO WILL RESULT IN AN AUTOMATIC ZERO.

In writing your essay, you will want to briefly summarize the film’s main points (your summary should be no more than one page). Then, analyze the film’s key arguments. If you find the arguments persuasive, show why they are so and develop them further. If you find them unpersuasive, explain why. is nix hurt? One question you might want to think about is: do the practices depicted in the film suggest that the American political system is not working properly? Or do these practices instead suggest that the American political system is in fact working as it was designed? In answering this question, you should think about James Madison’s discussion of factions and pluralism in Federalist #10.

Your essay will be graded on the persuasiveness of your analysis, the effectiveness of your use of the required sources, and the overall quality of your writing. So be sure to give yourself enough time to write, revisit, and carefully edit your essay so that you can submit a clear, convincing, and well-written work. Your essay is due by midnight on February 7 and is worth 28 points.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Two journal entries: one from a European indentured servant; one from an African enslaved laborer. IN order to be successful, take notes. One set of notes should be all the information that you gather pertaining to the African history. The other set of notes should be all the information you gather pertaining to the European indentured history. Make sure: 1) Their names are realistic; 2) the Dates in the entry are realistic; 3) the LOCATIONS where they are from and where they were sent are realistic; 4) the conditions they describe are realistic…ALL OF YOUR IDEAS SHOULD COME FROM THE VIDEOS, READINGS AND LINKS PROVIDED IN THIS WEEK’s MODULE Tell us: what labor they are performing in the new colony where they have been forced to work; what their lives were like back home before setting saild; what their journey was like

Here’s the essay problem: “Given that the American Revolution was not a “traditional war” between nation-states in the eighteenth century, how would you explain American success against the most formidable empire on the planet?” Notes: (1) First off, let’s eliminate nationalistic or metaphysical explanations that presume concepts such as “American exceptionalism”, some sort of “innate superiority”, or “intervention by an exalted force” (unless you mean France). There may or may not be some truth to these examples, and you are free to believe any of them. But they are beyond the scope of this course – and how would you prove them using available evidence? (2) The key to this question is to understand and use the nature of the conflict in your answer. The American Revolution was not a “revolution” and not a war between two nations – although the American colonies were, in some ways, significantly different from the norms of the British Empire. The revolution was both a civil war and an intervention by an authority that – in some ways – was like a foreign power. So the first thing to do is to define what the American Revolution actually was; you won’t write an effective essay unless you set the “ground rules and characteristics of the conflict” — in other words, what sort of war did the Americans actually “win”? (3) There are specific factors that weighted heavily in the American success, and I don’t mind repeating what you read in the section introduction and the documents: the weakness of the British economy (wars cost money), the difficult logistical situation (supporting a major intervention on the other side of the planet using leaky wooden sailing ships), the terrible strategic issues involved in pacifying rural populations in a huge territory (the British controlled the ports, eventually the rebels controlled everything else), the simplified American strategy (just survive; nothing else mattered, no battles had to be won), the effective implementation of a strategy based on insurgency (particularly in the Southern Campaign), American diplomacy in Paris and the eventual intervention of France in the war, etc. (4) There are also specific factors that weighted heavily against the Americans: inconsistent and often incompetent leadership, a seriously-divided population, absolute British control of the seas (until 1780, when the French Navy got involved), and American economic problems (again, wars cost money). Both sets of factors – favoring the Americans or against them – need to be defined and analyzed in this essay. In other words, you can’t explain why the Americans won without explaining what they were up against. (5) Be specific in your use of evidence, facts, examples and cases. When you write about diplomacy in Paris, for example, explain what Franklin did. When you define American insurgency, refer to the Southern Campaign. How bad were British finances, and why… specifically? And etc. (6) Keep in mind that you’re making an argument through your analysis: the Americans won the war because…. Merely recounting the events of the American Revolution isn’t going to make your case convincingly; you’d be forcing the reader to make your case for you, using your narrative as a factual basis. And that’s not a good approach for any essay. Every fact you bring up should be connected (visibly) to a larger analytical point.

Instructions

1. For this discussion, review your readings for Unit 2. Afterwards, you will analyze the photo of Tom Torlino embedded here. You might also look at at the Carlisle Indian School site. Feel free to do research outside the course if you’d like other points of view.

2. Choose one of the following characters and answer the following question FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW.

How would your character describe the impact of the transformation on Tom Torlino and others like him who attended the Carlisle Boarding School? How did this experience echo the expectations of other Americans for this type of school?

Possible Characters:

• a Navajo student
• a white American (male or female) Christian missionary
• an African American freedman from Mississippi

Be sure to put yourself in the shoes of the person you are speaking for — try to imagine how that person felt, what their ideals were, what they thought was good or right or appropriate at the time, even if you personally do not feel that way. Remember, history is not about you; it is about what people knew and felt and believed in the past, based on different knowledge than you and other modern people have about what happened later.

Before you complete your discussion, make sure you refer to the course rubric for the expectations for this assignment. Participating in the course discussions is an important part of your final grade. In your discussions, you cannot simply reply to someone’s posting with “ditto” or “I agree with you”. You must answer the question(s) asked in a minimum one paragraph. Your responses should also quote and cite the material you have read in the class so far; you may also do outside research. Use the for help with the correct citation style for your quotes.

Extended Activity 2: NEW FACTS, NEW TRUTH

Learning about prehistoric man is akin to investigating a crime scene. No written record is available, and what we have to rely on is open to interpretation. So sometimes events/prevailing wisdom changes as new facts and relics become available.

Identify a time in your life where you realized information you thought was true was not true: What was the specific fact that you thought was true but it was not? How did you feel? How did you find the previous information was not true? Be specific as possible: names, dates, years, people always bring authenticity to a journal. Generic responses tend to get flagged for plagiarism more often.

NO TWO PARAGRAPH FORMAT THIS WEEK!!!

Idc what you write. I am a female though if that helps.
