HIS 100 Module Three Activity Template: Revising Questions Replace the bracketed text below with your responses.
Identify the topic you chose to explore:
Chernobyl Nuclear Accident
Identify a historical perspective that could be applied to your historical event.
A perspective I can apply to my historical event is there were so many political consequences involved as well as so many people that died, health issues afterwards, the Soviet Union, environmental issued so many other consequences. The Soviet Union and President Gorbachov had a lot of issues especially with trust. Revise your research question based on evidence from your primary and secondary sources.
How did the Chernobyl Nuclear accident affect the environment and nuclear safety policies around the world?
How did the Chernobyl nuclear disaster affect the environment around us in the past and present?
Explain how historical perspective and evidence from sources influenced your finalized research question.
By looking at my primary and secondary sources there seems to be more questions than answers. It seems like there is so much information about the radiation by not really much talk about how it affected animals, the ground, the water, and more importantly the people. I know that the radiation affected a lot of people still do this day so to go back to my research question I
would like to understand the answer to that and explained in more detail regarding not just the people but the world around the disaster. I changed my question because it didn’t have much detail to it so I went in a completely different direction. 1
