Did they receive their freedom from the British after the War and if so where? Explain. Finally, explain why most African Americans did not celebrate July 4th (Independence Day) in the 18th Century? Should African Americans celebrate this day today? Explain.

What is history? Why should we study history? Within the context of our stories concerning Christopher Columbus, Native Americans, the Pilgrims, or slavery, discuss how historians (Zinn and Loewen) have dealt with the above issues specifically. How have history textbooks begun to complicate our histories even further?

WRITTEN EXERCISE #1 “ONE IS ASTONISHED IN THE STUDY OF HISTORY AT THE RECURRENCE OF THE IDEA THAT EVIL MUST BE FORGOTTEN, DISTORTED, SKIMMED OVER. WE MUST NOT REMEMBER THAT DANIEL WEBSTER GOT DRUNK BUT ONLY REMEMBER T HAT HE WAS A SPLENDID CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER. WE MUST FORGET THAT GEORGE WAHINGTON WAS A SLAVE OWNER…AND SIMPLY REMEMBER THE THINGS WE REGARD AS CREDITABLE AND INSPIRING. THE DIFFICULTY, OF COURSE, WITH THIS PHILOSOPHY IS THAT HISTORY L OSES ITS VALUE AS AN INCENTIVE AND EXAMPLE; IT PAINT S PERFECT MEN AND NOBLE NATIONS, BUT IT DOES NOT TELL THE TRUT H.” ~W.E.B. DUBOIS (B L AC K R E C O N S T R U C T I ON )
What is history? Why should we study history? Within the context of our stories concerning Christopher Columbus, Native Americans, the Pilgrims, or slavery, discuss how historians (Zinn and Loewen) have dealt with the above issues specifically. How have history textbooks begun to complicate our histories even further? With regard to the above topics, how have your readings and studies in this class differed from the ways in which these topics have been portrayed (all the way back to elementary school) to you in previous classes? In the quote above, W.E.B. DuBois suggests that in our studies of history, when we skim over the bad parts, our histories begin to lose their value as “incentive and example.” What does he mean by this? What are the far-reaching consequences of the ways in which so many of us have been taught history?

Changes in the Human Figure in Art
You likely noticed that during the two hundred years covered in this week’s study there were radical changes in how the human figure is depicted in Italy, from something that was highly stylized to an idealized form that looked more real yet was strongly influenced by the Classical Age of ancient Greece and Rome. In Northern Europe, however, depiction of the human form remained somewhat stylized.
Use the textbook and/or online sources to locate and capture three works of art.
- one from the Early Renaissance (fourteenth century, 1300–1399)
- one from the Northern European Renaissance (fifteenth century, 1400–1499)
- one from the Italian Renaissance (fifteenth century, 1400–1499)
Your works of art must either be all paintings or all sculptures.
First, place images of your selected works in a Word document. Then do the following:
- For each work identify:
- The artist
- Title of the work of art
- The date(s) it was created
- The medium or materials used to create the work of art, such as oil paint, marble, etc.
- Where the work is located now.
- In a well-developed paragraph, provide at least two important historical facts about each work.
- In another well-developed paragraph, describe how each artist depicted the human figure, supporting your observation using art historical vocabulary from this week’s reading.
Then, In a 6–10-sentence concluding paragraph:
- Compare and contrast how the depiction of the human figure has changed. Be sure to note such things as general appearance of the figures; their body types; whether the figures have been stylized, elongated, or idealized; and whether their clothing, colors, and other visual details have changed.
- Based on your reading and what you learned from the historic facts you have for each work of art discuss what may have been influencing factors behind these changes.
- Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information provided as appropriate.

Research Paper – Topic and Expectations:What Will the World of Work Look Like in 2050.
Research Paper – Topic and Expectations
(MANAGEMENT 3240 – Spring 2018)
“A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.”
~ Wayne Gretzky
Topic: What Will the World of Work Look Like in 2050.
Overview: I want you to dust off your crystal ball and make some projections with regard to work in the year 2050. I understand that it is difficult to predict the future, but the best way to prepare is to have some idea of what may be around the corner. Granted, 2050 isn’t exactly “just around the corner” but it will go much faster than you can even imagine.
I recognize that you are not likely to be 100% correct, and I suspect that I will not regrade what you provide in 32 years. However, being able to discuss projections and factors influencing work with colleagues, employers, and other business leaders can help as your careers and lives unfold.
I would like your submission to address the following questions:
· What will the workforce in 2050 look like? What will be the demographics (age, gender, race, disability, religion and the unending list of others) as related to those who will be doing the work?
· Where will the work be conducted?
· What will the modern office environment look like?
· What will work schedules look like (when will work be done)?
· What will be the status of the United States in terms of its status as the “world’s economic superpower”? Where will the US rank?
· How will employees and organizations deal with the never-ending pursuit of balance (work versus non-work)?
· Compare 2018 and 2050. How will work and life be the same? Different?
At the end, I want you to talk about where you think you will be in the year 2050 based on what you have reported above. What will work and non-work be like for you? I expect this to be about one-page (minimally).
Expectations: Although your opinions are important, they need to be closely linked with research. As you will find out early in the semester, research is very important to be and critically important to the reputation of Florida State University. If you are able to demonstrate to employers that have sound research skills, you are going to have more opportunities to learn and develop than those who do not.
· It is expected that this paper will be a minimum of 8 to 10 pages in length (which includes the one-page “where I will be” section at the end. This only counts the content. If you have a cover page, that does not count. The Reference Section does not count either.
· Given that this is a research paper, and much of what you come up with will rely on external sources, it is expected that you will have at least 10 legitimate references noted both in your paper and in the Reference Section. I would strongly advocate for more than 10 given the expansiveness of what has been asked. So what do I mean by “legitimate sources”?
· Peer-reviewed journal articles
· Newspaper articles (factual, not opinion) from established publications (NY Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal etc.)
· Magazine articles from established business and news publications (Business Week, Harvard Business Review, Forbes etc.)
· Government research agencies (OHSA, Office of Personnel Management etc.)
· Reports from professional associations (American Psychological Association, Academy of Management etc.)
· Data-driven reports from established research agencies (Pew Research, Gallup etc.)
Basically, it needs to be factual, scientific, data-driven and considered legitimate. Opinions from others aren’t welcome typically unless they have data guiding their development.
· Reference your sources accordingly and properly in both text and Reference Section. It is better to over cite your submission that under cite. Under citing is step one to a claim of plagiarism. Be careful.
· Use whatever referencing format you have been taught/are familiar. However, you need to use it consistently throughout. I use APA for my research, but that’s just what my job requires in most cases. A guide for APA formatting is: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
· One-inch margins.
· 1.5-line spacing (all other assignments are single space).
· 12-point, Times Roman Font.
· Use headings.
· Don’t plagiarize, cheat, buy this off-line etc.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have absolutely no patience for this.
I want this to be at a level of quality that would allow you to present what you have come up with in front of business leaders. I know you can do it.

What I want you to do is discuss how your chosen document relates to the historical period during which it was written. In other words, is there information in the text that tells you more about the British history from 1688 to 1750 or resonates with information that you are obtaining from the textbook? Be sure to quote from the document to substantiate the argument that you are making. What I am not interested in is how the document might be relevant to the present; instead I want you to present your document as a close-up picture of a small moment of the past as it really was: how were they perceiving issues, what problems needed to be addressed, what language did they use (sometimes difficult for us in the 21st century to understand) to frame their approach to contemporary problems. In general, what you are trying to do is contextualize the document you are working on.

For this assignment, you are asked to complete three important tasks toward your research paper: Prepare a title page, write an APA introductory passage on your selected research paper topic, and prepare a references page.
For this assignment, you are asked to complete three important tasks toward your research paper: Prepare a title page, write an APA introductory passage on your selected research paper topic, and prepare a references page. Title Page First, create the title page for your paper using APA 6th edition style guidelines. Introduction Next, select a famous leader to serve as the topic of your paper. The leader should be famous-to some degree-in order for enough resources to be available about this leader. (You may want to complete the references page for your assignment first; just to be sure that sufficient, acceptable, and useful sources are available about the leader before you make a definite decision about which leader to choose.) Then, draft a 100-word passage to introduce the leader. What is special about that leader? Why or for what is this leader best known? Overall, what type of leader is he or she? Cite your four sources within the passage. Your Introduction should be written in APA format. For the introduction, you may draw from the initial ideas you presented in this week’s discussion board. While the discussion forum is conversational, the research paper should be formal and should not include the word “I.” The research paper, including its introductory passage, should be a synthesis of information you gather from resources with a minimum of one citation per paragraph. (See the video that explains this assignment for more information.) References Page Finally, create the references page for your paper. For this assignment, obtain a minimum of four references (or sources) about the leader you selected, and create a references page in APA style. You will add references to this list throughout the course as we examine specific leadership theories. By the end of the course, you should have a minimum of 10 references/sources. Acceptable sources include journal articles, books, and e-books obtained through a Online Library. The only Internet source that may be used is the leader’s personal web site or their organization’s web site. If you would like to use another internet source, check with the professor first. Do not use encyclopedias, including Wikipedia. A maximum of two YouTube videos (or videos from other sources) may be used if they meet one of the following requirements: (a) The video is a primary source, meaning that the video shows the leader speaking or behaving in some way.(b) The video includes interviews of people close to the leader. (c) The video is a documentary, based on credible research.
Neocolonialism in Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Haiti-United States marines intervened in Nicaragua from 1912-1932. They occupied the Dominican Republic from 1916-1924 and Haiti from 1915-1934.

Neocolonialism in Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Haiti
United States marines intervened in Nicaragua from 1912-1932. They occupied the Dominican Republic from 1916-1924 and Haiti from 1915-1934. The United States ruthlessly pursued its interests in each of these nations. In Nicaragua, U.S. marines ousted an anti-American president, José Santos Zelaya, and ensured the government would not sell rights to a canal that would compete with the recently completed one in Panama. In the Dominican Republic, U.S. marines ensured the nation’s debts would be paid promptly so that European warships would not appear in Santo Domingo and demand repayment by force. Haiti was occupied by U.S. forces to impose stability and limit German influence. U.S. occupation was resisted by Augusto Sandino’s guerrilla band in Nicaragua, by Dominican gavilleros (pictured) and Haitian cacos. On the other hand, U.S. troops oversaw the building of roads and schools. They also initiated improvements in public health and sanitation. In short, U.S. occupation brought both positives and negatives.
For this week’s discussion, choose one quote from “Under the Gun” and one quote from “The Second Nicaraguan Civil War/The Sandino Chase” that describe important themes. Afterwards, in a supporting paragraph of approximately 400 words, elaborate on the significance of your chosen themes. This discussion will be worth a total of four points with one point each awarded for 1) your choice of themes, 2) elaborating on those themes using relevant information from the readings 3) factual accuracy and 4) grammar. Students may earn up to an additional point by commenting on a fellow student’s discussion in such a way that improves his or her understanding of the topic.
This discussion will be due promptly at 10 p.m. on Sunday, February 25. No late work will be accepted for any reason.
