Week 6 Readings: Chapter 29, Chapter 30, and Chapter 31
Two commentators are arguing on a political radio show. Dr. James Pacifist (perhaps it is Dr. Jane Realist) states that the military situation in South Vietnam at the end of 1968 proves that the conflict is unwinnable, and has left a lasting stain on President Lyndon Johnson’s administration. Mr. John Warhawk (or is it Senator Randall Real Politic) claims that the average soldier was betrayed by the government and if more troops were sent to South Vietnam that country can still be saved from communism. You have been divided into two groups. For this forum, Group A (Last name A-M) will assume the role of an individual endorsing Dr. Pacifist’s stance, while Group B (Last name N-Z) will argue in support of further escalation endorsed by Mr. Warhawk. You do not need to restrict yourself to the moral justification. The arguments for, and against, the United States involvement took many avenues. Try not to make assumptions. Instead, assume the historical role of someone who lived in the United States during the era. While addressing the legacy of the war you can move to more recent decades. While defending your stance be sure to address the effect that ground troops had on the war regarding potential failure or success during combat and how the escalation of troops affected anti-war movement. Finally, be sure to bring in the potential effects the war had on Johnson’s presidency and the legacy of Vietnam.
Because the use of AI keeps creeping into my classrooms, I am going to insist that you all reference the textbook in your responses, make sure your response reflects the chapters. After your initial submission, you are then required to continue the debate by responding to three of your classmates. Your responses should contribute to the dialogue.

Title: The Admirable and the Absurd: Reflecting on Role Models, the Meaning of Life, and the Impact of Science during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Tell us whom you admire (parent, sports figure, politician, entrepreneur, etc.). Explain why you admire that person and what you would be willing to do to be like them. Be sure to address the following:
Is this a person like you?
Would you tell others to emulate this person?
What are this person’s weaknesses?
Would you eliminate the weaknesses?
What strengths would you replace the weaknesses with?
What would it mean if Albert Camus was correct – life is absurd, having only the meaning each of us gives to it? Explain your answer in the context of a relativistic world where each person lives according to his or her own truth regardless of the truth of others. Be sure to address this question in your response: Can I give any meaning to life if I do not know Truth?
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? -

GRADING
Essays are scored based on the following criteria:
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)?

Conclusions (15%): Is the last paragraph appropriately developed? Does the last paragraph appropriately summarize the central argument(s) for the essay?
Grammar (25%): How many grammatical errors (per word) are in the paper? Is the paper written at an appropriate college grade level?
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. -

“The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire: A Catalyst for Change in the Progressive Era”
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.

“The Great Migration, Harlem Renaissance, and the Rise of the Ku Klux Klan: Conflicting Ideologies in a Changing America”
First, read A. Philip Randolph’s statement on the “New Negro,” which is both a Civil Rights and Labor Treatise (the pdf is linked below, but also is in the moduel) , then read Hiram Evans “The Klan’s Fight for Americanism” which is linked below.
The-New-Negro.pdf
The Klan’s Fight for AmericanismHiram 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.
