Explain how you believe science helped us or hurt us during the COVID-19 pandemic. Does science always tell the truth? If science is bought and paid for by funders (it is: https://undsci.berkeley.edu/article/who_pays), how can we trust that science finds the truth and not the ‘truth’ it is paid to find? You might want to consider such questions as: 1) What did science tell us about the vaccines (science, NOT the politicians or media)? or 2) What is the ‘truth’ about the origins of the SARS COV2 virus?

Thesis (15%): Is the first paragraph appropriately developed? Does the first paragraph contain a coherent central argument(s) for the essay?
Evidence (25%): Does the essay contain an appropriate amount of evidence and development to support its coherent central argument(s)?

SafeAssign:  All papers automatically undergo a plagiarism check through SafeAssign, and Mr. Owens will report that score to you when grading.  If the SafeAssign score is 20% or higher, a points deduction will be made on the paper (higher SafeAssign scores result in higher deductions).  This deduction escalates for each paper: the deduction on Essay 2 is greater than Essay 1, the deduction of Essay 3 is greater than the deductions on Essays 1 and 2, etc.  If the SafeAssign score is 90% or higher, the paper is considered plagiarized and a score of zero will be recorded for the assignment.

You will then address three areas of review. Firstly, the beginning of the civilization (where was it located, what are its origins etc.).

3 pages The Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire was a pivotal moment in the history of the United States, and reflects the impulses behind the Progressive Movement.  It revealed both the glaring lack of safety standards and the precarity of workers in their places of employment, and directly stimulated important reforms in labor and safety laws.  Read (or listen) the following two speeches by women concerned about workplace safety: by Rose Schneiderman (1911) immediately after the event, and by Frances Perkins in 1964, looking back on the events.  Drawing on these sources, the film, and the textbook, and using specific examples to prove your points, consider the significance of the event and the impact it had.  What about this incident made it particularly important and what changed as a result?  How did the attitudes and impulses of Progressivism contribute to shaping the impact and significance of the fire?  How would you characterize the Progressive Movement and its continued significance or relevance today?
Your report can be made in any of the formats listed above.  It should made specific reference to the film Triangle Fire (be sure to watch the version linked to the D2L site) and to each of the documents linked to the assignment.  It should not summarize the film AT ALL, except to describe the specific references it makes.  Rather, it should analyze the questions posed and present your answers. Cite all sources used in the report (any citations system is acceptable, as long as it is consistent and makes sense–if you don’t know how to cite or what I mean, please ask).  All work on this report must be your own; the use of unauthorized assistance, including AI, is not acceptable under any circumstances.

Hiram Evans on the “The Klan’s Fight for Americanism” (1926)

This week you are going to write a short, two page paper on the relationship between the Great Migration, the Harlem Renaissance and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan into a nationwide phenomenon. After reading these source documents, write a two page paper answering this fundamental question: How did the influx of new black residents into Northern Cities and the ideology expressed in Randolph’s editorial, “The New Negro- What is He?” influence the rise of the Ku Klux Klan into a nationwide, a White Supremacist organization with a strikingly different ideology?
More broadly, what I am asking you to do is identify and describe the conflicts that emerged during the decade over what America Was, what America Stood for and who should be included. These documents illustrate a VERY different vision for the country, what I want you to do is connect them.
AGAIN, please do not use Chat GPT on this paper, it is usually very evident and does not help you with an assignment such as this one.
