Module 8 Short Response
Question 1
Consider the following statement: The support of non-Native Alaskans was an important factor leading to the settlement of Alaska Native land claims. Is this conclusion consistent with the evidence presented in this learning block? Answer Yes or No, and then explain your choice in one or two sentences.
No. The learning block emphasizes that the support of Native Americans and the effective representation from AFN and other organizations contributed to the granting of a fair settlement that allowed work to proceed on the Trans-Alaskan pipeline.
Question 2
Consider the following statement:
ANCSA was a fair settlement for Alaska Natives. Is this conclusion consistent with the evidence presented in this learning block? Answer Yes or No, and then explain your choice in one or two sentences.
Yes, it is true that the Alaska Natives received a fair settlement from the ANCSA. The settlement
provided both land and monetary benefits to the natives, allowing the Trans-Alaska pipeline to be constructed even though it was not exactly what had been established initially.
Question 3
Consider the following statement:
ANCSA led to economic benefits for white Alaskans as well as for Natives. Is this conclusion consistent with the evidence presented in this learning block? Answer Yes or No, and then explain your choice in one or two sentences.
Yes. Native Alaskans and non-native Alaskans alike have benefited from the ANCSA settlement,
which cleared the way for the construction of the Trans-Alaska pipeline. As a result of the Alaska Permanent Fund's investment and collection of oil royalty payments, "25 percent of all oil-land royalties" (Lint & Doogan, 2015) were paid as a dividend each year to every Alaskan who qualified.
Question 4
For an American Literature course:
What skills from this course would you use to develop a brief essay on the significance of Walt Whitman's "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd," a poem written in the summer of 1865?
I will conduct research on the selected work and the author in order to prepare the brief essay requested. In order to support my interpretation of the significance of the poem, I would seek articles that analyze the major features of the poem as well as its overall meaning. In order to support my position on the relevance of the poetry, I would develop a thesis statement based on my research. Last but not least, I would also utilize my knowledge of citations using the APA
format in order to ensure that any quotes are appropriately cited, thus recognizing the original source.
Question 5
For a Sociology course:
What skills from this course would you use to produce an annotated bibliography for your course research project?
Using Shapiro Library search engines, I would identify primary and secondary sources that pass the CRAPPO test in order to create an annotated bibliography for a sociology research project. Using what I have learned about SNHU's Academic Support, I will also ensure the correct APA format is used for my references and check for errors or omissions in my citations.
Question 6
For a Business course: What skills from this course would you use to decide between two
different investment proposals?
I would use my research skills to assess the performance of both investment proposals over time and assess the level of risk appropriate for my level of experience to determine how to choose between two different investment proposals. In order to determine which investment would best fit in my portfolio based on what I am experiencing in my life, I would prepare a list of pros and cons for both plans. All of these factors will assist me in determining if either investment plan will provide me with the level of risk and performance, I need to accomplish my goal. Question 7

SNHU? Has this course changed the way you think about what you want to study? Why
or why not?
Please respond to this question in two to three sentences, using proper grammar.
As a result of applying historical lenses to my academic program, I have been able to see it from several different perspectives. The skill I have acquired will be invaluable to me in the course of my career as a Teacher Assistant for special needs students. To provide the best learning experience and care to students, it is often necessary to be able to see things from their perspective. My opinion regarding what I wish to study has not been changed by the course, but I
have expanded my opinions regarding how I wish to learn. Through this course, I have gained an
understanding of the past and have learned how to apply the knowledge to current situations. My
ability to analyze and make decisions regarding my education and career will be enhanced by the
skills I have developed during this course.
Question 8
What did you learn about one of these topics or historical events that was new or surprising to you? Explain in at least two to three sentences; be sure to use proper Grammar.
The eight weeks of this course provided me with the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of all the topics we discussed. One of the most surprising things I learned was how long it took to
pass and sign into law the Civil Rights Act. The number of hundreds of years that it has taken to bring even a slight degree of equality into a country that is supposed to welcome all who need her is something I had never considered. Considering that slavery was abolished so long ago, it
seems odd that we as a society are still so intent on characterizing differences negatively. Rather than being afraid of these differences, individuals should embrace them. Let them be an opportunity for you to gain a deeper understanding of another culture so that together we can build a stronger community. We are all unique and interesting because of our differences. Rather
than using our differences as a means of dividing people, we should be celebrating and highlighting everything that makes us unique. Most surprising is that our society is continuing to commit the same mistakes it made in the 19th century in the 21st century. Question 9
In one paragraph, explain which parts of your historical investigation and analysis were
most interesting to you. Which parts were less interesting? Be sure to use proper Grammar.
My historical investigation was most interesting when I examined the primary sources. Having the opportunity to hear recordings made by those who lived through the Boston desegregation first hand provided an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of their experience. There was a great deal of emotion expressed in these recordings, as it is inevitable to experience that degree of hatred and senseless violence. As a result of the interviews, it was evident that the students felt
an overwhelming sense of confusion. Their ignorance of why people they did not know disliked and hated them was beyond their comprehension.
My interest in the Boston Desegregation did not diminish as a result of any part of the story. As a
result of this period of history, it encourages one to examine their own values and evaluate what they might have done if they were present, as well as how this would affect their lives nearly fifty years later. In symbolizing freedom and unity, the country's emblems are its most distinctive
features. There is a message written on the Statue of Liberty that welcomes all. Any racial, religious, or belief difference is not addressed in that message. It is unfortunate that despite the promise of a warm welcome on that great statue, you will rarely see any evidence of it once you have arrived.
