Compare the role of the diverse university curriculum in the compensation projects of both Taylor and Boxil

I didn’t realize in class how profound the suggestions for this week’s review topic were (I’m thinking of the last thirty or so minutes of class).  I will be modifying the conclusion we reached at the very end of class to incorporate this realization.

Prompt: Compare the role of the diverse university curriculum in the compensation projects of both Taylor and Boxill.  Write an essay that speaks to the following: 

The nature of the specific past injustice that calls for compensation—what wrong needs to be “righted”?
The nature of the compensation—what is offered as compensation?  The possession of what thing would “right” the wrong?
The contribution of the diverse curriculum to the achievement of compensation. Boxill’s brief comments on the diverse curriculum are on p. 603, and these comments should be read in light of Boxill’s stress on the “older argument,” p. 596.  Taylor’s comments begin on p. 65.

the role of tangible and intangible elements of U.S. foreign relations.

answer to one of the following two questions. Address every element
of the question you answer, and to support your arguments with examples drawn from the entire 1898–1920 period(Reader uploaded )
1. Considering the period 1898–1920, discuss the role of tangible and intangible
elements of U.S. foreign relations. To what extent, and how, did tangible objectives(gaining territory, commercial opportunity, physical security, etc.) drive U.S. foreign relations? To what extent, and how, was U.S. foreign policy aimed at intangible goals(achieving national glory, affirming racial or cultural superiority, promoting particular values abroad, etc.)? In the interplay of those two realms, what overall patterns emerge?
2. Scholars have debated whether U.S. foreign policy has been primarily designed to serve the economic and strategic interests of the United States alone, or to reform the international system for the benefit of all nations willing to play by a certain set of rules.During the period 1898–1920, to what extent did the United States follow purely selfserving foreign policies, and to what extent did it pursue a reformist agenda abroad? Did U.S. foreign policy change with respect to this question? Was there a connection betweenself-interest and reform?
