Progressivism in America

*Research and write about one of the Progressive Era topics in American History.

You can pick any of the following, or come up with your own:
Prohibition, Anti-Lynching, Women’s Rights, Labor Rights, Fight for Natural Resources, etc.

**The topic must be a part of North American history and should fall between the loose dates of 1880 to about 1940 (or anywhere in between). Here are some

questions to guide your thoughts:
– What is the importance of this topic in our history?
– Were there any major laws passed pertaining to your topic, when, and by whom?
– What effect did your topic have on American society?
– And in the very last part of the body of your paper, feel free to tie your topic back into contemporary issues — Does your topic have any

legacies affecting us today? (But this part should be a shorter section of your paper — see note at very bottom).

**Start the paper by stating your topic. Feel free to tell me what you already know or don’t know about your topic. The introduction is your chance to make

it your paper! Don’t forget to come up with an interesting title!

• Use the body of the paper to dive into the research for your topic.
• You need a minimum of three sources for this paper, and you can definitely use your textbook (The American Promise) as well as internet sources.
• A last page entitled “Works Cited” where you will list ALL of the sources that you used for your paper. You are welcome to use direct quotes, but

only a few (three max) and keep them short (two or three lines each max) since I mostly want to read your work. Be sure to cite all paraphrasing in the

paper.

**For the conclusion, personalize your paper once again. Tell the reader why you think that this topic is important to American history.

**Remember that this is a history paper, so although the professor wants me to conclude the paper with how this history topic is important to us today,

this is only a small section towards the end while the majority of the body of the paper needs to be history, not contemporary.

Reading the relevant material will benefit students to answer relevant chapter questions on study guide number 1, and to Know terms associated with each chapter. [There  are also added areas or topics students should “know:” for exam number one.]

 

Democracy

Philosophers Thomas Hobbes, John Locke’s and Jean-Jacques Rosseau’s theory on Social Contract implied agreements by which people form nations and maintain a social order. In laymen’s terms this means that the people give up some rights to a government in order to receive social order. Social contract theory provides the rationale behind the historically important notion that legitimate state authority must be derived from the consent of the governed.

 

Topic: Social Contract

1. Discuss: How does the theory of Social Contract mean to your participation

in a government of democracy?

 

Topic: Representative Democracy

2. Discuss: If you think that all election voting should be available to everyone on

home computers provided by government? Will it cure the low voting turnout problem

for elections? Will it increase the voice of the majority in reference to getting closer to

obtaining a true representative democracy?

 

Topic: Political Culture

3. Discuss: Which source(s) do you learn your American Political Culture from [which is

defined in the chapter 1 extra terms handout] the most out of the five main areas?

Explain how.

 

Topic: Political Ideology (handout)

4. Discuss: Which Political Ideology you like the most and why? Discuss which Political

Ideology you dislike the most and why?

Nevada Early History and Constitution

 

Topic: Nevada Early History and Constitution

[Read: resource notes on this topic located on Module-Week 1 course information module

page.]

 

Know: What are the three events that was the result of settlement in Nevada by the

1840s?

 

Know: some of the explicit reasons why Nevada Settlers wanted their own territory.

Settlers felt that they were receiving unfair treatments and it led to a chain of events in

which the settlers petitioned Congress and the President for their own territory, and to be

separated from the Western Utah Territory (currently Nevada), which was overseen by

Brigham Young. Settlers, who were predominately Non-Mormon, complained that some

laws made by the Utah territorial officials had “no separation of church and state.”

Settlers believed they had no true representation in their own interest, and felt their

interests were ignored within the jurisdiction they lived in. The capital was far away (first

it resided in Fillmore City and then in Salt Lake City which was 500 miles distance); and

the Western Utah Territory lacked law and order. The settlers eventually created a

squatter government; and hired an attorney to travel several times to Congress to

petition for their own territory, and statehood.

 

Know: how the leadership of the Utah territory affected the settlers’ liberty and equality?

 

Topic: Nevada Early History

1. Discuss: How would that type leadership affect our liberty and equality today?

 

Topic: Statehood and Territory

[Read: notes on this topic located on Module-Week 1 course information module page.]

 

Know: What were the two main barriers that stop the ratification of the first Nevada 1863

constitution?

 

Know: What are the four significant reasons Lincoln wanted Nevada to become a state?

Development Interventions and Political Security: Exploring the Development-Security Nexus.

Since the end of the Cold War, security and development concerns have been increasingly interlinked. Governments and international institutions have stated that they have become increasingly aware of the need to integrate security and development programmes in policy interventions in post-conflict situations and in their relations with the growing category of failed and potentially ‘failing’ states. To better understand the linking of security and development concerns the PhD project will investigate the dynamics of specific security-development interventions in Africa and the creation of solutions in the context of the security-development nexus focusing on sectors such as governance, security sector, and rule of law.
The research will ethnographically explore a security-development intervention from at least three perspectives: the local population, the implementing organisation, state institutions and analyse the multifaceted relationship between development interventions and security in theory and practice. It is expected that the PhD project critically will question the conceptual and empirical boundary between security and developmental interventions and investigate what policy implications that flow from it.
The researcher will carry out 3 months placement during fieldwork with a leading development organisation. The researcher will be based at Aarhus University and will spend 6 months at the University of Edinburgh.
Applicants are invited to send a proposal, which elaborates on the project described above.

Paper 2 Topics – 1302
Write a well-developed essay (about three double-spaced pages plus an
additional Works Cited page) about the following topic.
In this unit, you read three chapters from your text book. You read one about
making academic arguments and one about style in arguments. The final one
you read (called “How Does Popular Culture Stereotype You?”) contained a
number of published articles about popular culture.
For this paper, I want you to write an academic argument in which you answer
the following question:
In the “How Does Popular Culture Stereotype You?” chapter, which article
makes the best argument and why?
So far in this class, you’ve read a good deal about how arguments work and how
to make effective arguments. What I’m asking you to do is pick the one from the
“Popular Culture” chapter that best matches the definitions of a good argument
that your textbook makes.
You will need to quote from your chosen article and from the chapters we’ve
read about making arguments. For this question, the important thing is the
WHY!
Convince me.
Illustrate your choice with SPECIFIC EXAMPLES!
Instructions:
• The basic format of your paper should look like the sample paper in
this unit’s reading from Everything’s An Argument (485-486).
• Please incorporate what you’ve learned from the reading about
making effective arguments with evidence to back up your claims (and
most of the evidence will come from specific examples).
• Part of the scoring for this paper will be based on making a complex
and original argument, so make your reasons as specific as possible.
• See syllabus for due dates.

Assignment 3: Long-Term Investment Decisions

Due Week 9 and worth 300 points

Assume that the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food company from Assignments 1 and 2 wants to expand and has to make some long-term capital budgeting decisions. The company is currently facing increases in the costs of major ingredients.

Use the Internet and Strayer databases to research government policies and regulation.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

1. Outline a plan that managers in the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food company could follow in anticipation of raising prices when selecting pricing strategies for making their products response to a change in price less elastic. Provide a rationale for your response.
2. Examine the major effects that government policies have on production and employment. Predict the potential effects that government policies could have on your company.
3. Determine whether or not government regulation to ensure fairness in the low-calorie, frozen microwavable food industry is needed. Cite the major reasons for government involvement in a market economy. Provide two (2) examples of government involvement in a similar market economy to support your response.
4. Examine the major complexities that would arise under expansion via capital projects. Propose key actions that the company could take in order to prevent or address these complexities.
5. Suggest the substantive manner in which the company could create a convergence between the interests of stockholders and managers. Indicate the most likely impact to profitability of such a convergence. Provide two (2) examples of instances that support your response.
6. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
