Compare the narratives presented in your primary and secondary sources relevant to your historical event.
Narratives presented in some of my sources are from a political perspective, especially since there the Vietnam War is going on during this time in 1970. They consider the political “wins” and windows of opportunity that were at play for leaders during the creation of Earth Day as well as the possible harm that the government can cause by regulation drawbacks. Other narratives focus on an environmental and social aspect of women, children, and others (who may not have been a part of the war but still felt the effects) people who could see the need for this change and had time to dedicate to the cause and spread the word.
Describe one narrative that has significantly influenced the contemporary understanding of your historical event.
Wanting to put more focus and importance on the environment because of the lack of protection and possible risks that come with that is one narrative that has influenced my understanding of the creation of Earth Day.
Explain how the chosen narrative helps you better understand your historical research question. Please provide your revised research question and then explain how the chosen narrative helps you better understand your historical event.
As a result of Earth Day, how have federal regulations positively affected climate change in recent years?
This narrative of an environmental perspective puts emphasis on the need for environmental protection and knowledge of the environment and puts into perspective the reason why a program like Earth Day would have been created to protect future generations.
