Category: American history

Your task is to present a final essay on a particular topic in this class to your classmates and professor for consideration and discussion.  This essay is a combination of a summary and analysis.  You summarize a topic in the history of American popular culture from 1800 to recent times.  Also, you analyze the significance of the topic in American culture.  In other words, you are going to tell us about the topic, and you are going to tell us why it is important.  
You need sources to support the main ideas in your essay.  How many sources?  This is always a popular question from students.  You have at least five paragraphs of main points.  You need to support your main points with sources.  You need a variety of sources.  So, this means you should have at least five different sources in your essay.  You might have up to ten sources for a wider variety of viewpoints on a controversial topic, but you should have at least five sources to be sure you have researched your topic adequately.
How long does the essay need to be?  This is always a popular question from students.  The answer is at least seven paragraphs long.  A typical paragraph in college is 100 to 200 words.  Let’s say that your introduction and conclusion paragraphs are closer to 100 words, and your main point paragraphs are closer to 200 words.  This means that your final essay should be approximately 1200 words.  Let’s set the guideline as a range.  Please keep your essays to between 1000 and 1400 words.  Shorter essays probably mean you didn’t have enough to say about the topic.   Longer essays probably mean that you chose a topic that was a bit too large.
Final Essay – Format
The heading of your new thread will be the title of your essay.  Your name is already part of that heading because Blackboard already includes your name.   Single-space your paragraphs, and put a blank line between each paragraph.  Cite your sources as you use them in the main point paragraphs.  Then, list your references that you cited at the end of the essay.  
So, the format is very similar to what we have been doing throughout this class.  This essay simply has more main points and more sources to support those main points.
A heading with the title of your essay.
An introductory paragraph telling us the topic of the essay and your thesis.
At least five paragraphs of main points, with APA-formatted citations whenever you use information from your sources.
A concluding paragraph to sum things up for your reader.
References in APA format listed after the conclusion.
Remember, have at least five sources and 1000 to 1400 words.
They will use Turnitin on the first draft to see if I wrote it

Bibliographical Essay
World War II caused greater destruction than any other war in history. The war took the lives of about 17 million soldiers and an even greater number of civilians, who died as a result of bombings, starvation, and deliberate campaigns of mass murder. The war also ushered in the atomic age and was quickly followed by the collapse of the wartime alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union and the beginning of the Cold War.

You will research and write about a Hispanic American who contributed heavily to society but, due to their identity, suffered injustice. Below is a list of names to consider. As you will see, some sacrificed their lives, others their reputation or their mental well-being, etc.
There are two restrictions for your topic: 1) the assignment is limited to Hispanic Americans who made their primary contributions during 1877-1976 (e.g., although Dolores Huerta continued her advocacy well after 1976, the majority of her political contributions came during the 1950s and 60s); and, 2) please research someone relatively unfamiliar, so no reports on Cesar Chavez. Also, remember that racial construction is politically and sociologically complicated. A wide range of racial identities are available to choose from.
Please explore the breadth and depth of the individual’s contributions to society, the injustices to which they were subjected, and what we can learn today from their life and its impact on U.S. history. 
On the sources, please find sources that are common to use because I will double check where these sources are from. I want to make sure it will be easier access for me to see as well. Be mindful of the sources.  I highly prefer the more common sources to use for every person to use and fact-check on when it comes to this assignment.

The Essay Exams are designed to get you to think analytically and critically about the material and present your assessment in an organized and coherent manner. It is also important to incorporate information from as many of the assigned reading assignments and videos as possible so as to exhibit a depth and breadth of knowledge on the topic.
The Prompt:
Choose three major developments of California society from World War II to the present and explain why they are important?
Important:
Do not use Artificial Intelligence, including Grammarly. This will result in a failing grade for this assignment and potentially a failing grade for the class along with academic probation.
Only use sources assigned by me (Video Lectures, textbook, various articles, and primary documents). Using outside sources will result in a failing grade.
Expectations
You will find ample information to address these questions in The Elusive Eden textbook, videos and Discussion documents. Essay responses should show a thorough understanding of the readings and be college level (clear, organized, without typographical errors, logical, etc.)
Your essay should have an introduction with a clear argument, a well-developed body with ample supporting evidence, a conclusion that provides some final analysis, and be about seven paragraphs in length (paragraphs should be at least five sentences in length but often longer). Your argument is your brief answer to the question while the body of the essay is used to provide detailed historical examples to support your argument. Although analysis of the material should be woven into the body of your essay, the conclusion is where you will be able to show that you have thought about the material in a critical and analytical way (rather than simply regurgitating information). Also, remember that any information included in your essay should be pertinent to answering the question asked of you.
Citations
For the purposes of this essay, you can use parenthetical citation. Please only use information from within the confines of this class, such as video lectures, the textbook, primary documents, and any other assigned readings.
Example for Video Lecture citation: (Video 1).
Example for Textbook citation: (Rice, 42).
Example for a Document citation: (“The Big Four”, 198).
Important Tips
Because you have the question in advance, your essays should not have any grammatical errors or typos, should be written in fluid prose and indicate a clear command of the material.
Turnitin, a plagiarism detection software, is used for this assignment. Please see the Syllabus for details regarding academic dishonesty.
Use of artificial intelligence on this assignment will result in a score of zero and potentially a failing grade for the class.

write a 5-page essay on In the years since Debbie Lum’s documentary was released, its primary subjects have gone through a lot of changes. Imagine you are Steven’s new love interest from the Philippines. Steven has just asked you to move to America and take your relationship to the next level. While this is a tough decision, you’re ready to give your response, given your extensive research on both Steven and the history of immigrants in America. In an email or letter to Steven, do one of the following: tell him that you WILL move to America, since the history of immigrants since the mid 20th-century affirms that anyone can make it in America, as long as they believe they can achieve. Or, let Steven down and tell him that you WILL NOT move to America, given that the history of immigrants affirms that making it is impossible, regardless of one’s belief in America. Or tell Steven that the chance of someone making it in America has sometimes been a reality, but at other times, a total fantasy. (If you take this option, you can decide what decision you ultimately make with regard to spending your life with Steven). In your conclusion, tell Steven what character traits you believe EACH of you have that will make your relationship a success or a failure. The essay should include evidence from the sources listed below. One item from (Reft, Reft, Chinese American podcast)
One item from (15 Key Benefits, Ramirez, Bentley, Love)
One non-film item from (Chua, Densho, Chang, Southeast Asia article) One non-film item from (So Over Population podcast, Bankrolling podcast, SPLC article, Huang)
One non-film item from (Battle of 187 podcast, Douzet)
One non-film item from (Bayoumi, Convert podcast, Fairchild, Worthy of Welcome podcast)
One non-film item from (Abramitzky, Liao, Racial Imposter podcast)
One film from Mendez, Seeking Asian, No Mas Bebes, Donut King, Fear and Learning, Reel Bad Arabs, Born in East LA [Please note that pretending to be Steven as part of the creative requirement of the essay or in the conclusion question does not count as a film source; you need to analyze the film in detail in its own paragraph if you want it to count. You also don’t need to use the film with Steven-you can always use another film!]
You do not need a works cited page. You do not need to do outside research (beyond the required sources) for this paper. Your first reference to an essay or film should merely include the name of the author and the title of the article, or the name or the film. Subsequent references to an article can merely use the author’s last name. You do not have to quote directly from the material. However, if you do choose to quote directly from the material, you must provide a page citation in your essay. Direct quotes should be used sparingly to expand upon a point you have already made in your own words. You do not want to use quotes in place of your own ideas! You only need to insert a “Dear” at the beginning of your essay to make it look/sound like an email. You can either make your essay one long email entry, or even create multiple email entries. In either case, make sure that your first paragraph (or entry) functions as your introduction, where you state your thesis.
devote a paragraph to each source (rather than grouping sources together in one or multiple sources). Your first reference to an essay or film should merely include the name of the author and the title of the article, or the name or the film. Subsequent references to an article can merely use the author’s last name.
