Prior to beginning work on this Discussion forum,
1.
In order to start thinking about history, think of a film, video, image,
song, or piece of music that reminds you of an era or event in the
past.
Consider the film, video, image, song or piece of music
that you selected.
Explain why you chose this piece.
Explain what it tells us about the historical event or era it
depicts.
Think about what you want your classmates to know about
you as a person and your academic, professional, and
personal goals.
2.
Next, start thinking about your work for this course, which will focus
on American history from 1877 to the present. One of the primary
areas of focus in the course will be the examination of political and
civil rights of traditionally disadvantaged groups within American
Society and their struggles for social equity within American society.
To this end, you will select one of the following disadvantaged
groups and examine their experiences throughout the course,
culminating in your Final Paper. (Your group choice does not have to
relate to your chosen historical piece above.)
African Americans
Native Americans/American Indians
Women
Immigrants
Consider which group you have chosen to focus on. Why have you chosen
this group? If you are having trouble deciding, which groups are you most
interested in and why?
Hello Classmates,
My name is Nathan, but I prefer to go by Nate. I am 36 going to be 37 in
August. I have a French Bulldog named Bubba who I have had since 2012
when he was 1 year old. I am currently not working as I had to have an
amputation last year where I lost my lower left leg below the knee. I am
currently working on getting my BA in Business Administration as I hope to
one day own and operate my own business as it has always been a dream of
mine to open an Internet Café/Bakery. The film that I thought of reminds me
of an event in the past is Pearl Harbor. I chose this film because I grew up in
a Navy house as my dad was in the Navy. However, we were not stationed
anywhere besides Virginia. This film depicts the historical event of when the
US entered WWII as we were trying to stay out from entering the war until
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii which prompted the US to declare war
on Japan and Germany. I have not chosen a group because I have another
group that has had the same issues as the other groups and is closer to me
as I am a part of that group which is the LGBT community. Now you might
say that they are not as disadvantaged as the other groups, but that is false
in fact they are more disadvantaged than most as back before Stonewall it
was illegal for the LGBT community to be themselves or even have sex. Even
in today's time with every milestone we have gained we are still treated
worse as our rights and the freedom to be ourselves is being taken away, it is
like the saying goes History repeats itself and I must say it is especially with
my community. I will give it more thought on which choice I want as I know
the one, I would like is not an available topic.
