HIS 100 Module Three Activity Template: Revising Questions
Replace the bracketed text below with your responses.
Identify the topic you chose to explore:
Climate Change and Environmental Issues
o
Chernobyl
Identify a historical perspective that could be applied to your historical event.
One historical perspective that could be applied to Chernobyl is the Cold War context.
The Chernobyl disaster occurred during the final years of the Cold War, a time of
heightened tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States. This context may
have influenced the Soviet government's response to the disaster and how information
about the event was communicated to the public.
Revise your research question based on evidence from your primary and secondary sources.
Original:
o
What are the long-term environmental impacts of the Chernobyl disaster on the
surrounding region, and how have these impacts affected both the human
population and the local ecosystem?
Revised:
o
What measures can be taken to address the issue of iodine deficiency in soils in
areas affected by the Chernobyl disaster, and how can this contribute to reducing
the incidence of thyroid gland diseases in the affected population?
Explain how historical perspective and evidence from sources influenced your finalized research
question.
To develop my research question, I thoroughly examined the available historical data and
relevant sources. This helped me gain a comprehensive understanding of the issue and
its context. I analyzed the evidence I collected from my primary source (government
document) and secondary source (academic journal).
The historical perspective helped me understand the evolution of research on iodine
deficiency and thyroid gland diseases in the areas affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
This gave me insights into the field's existing knowledge and research gaps. Reviewing
my sources, I identified the key issues that needed to be addressed in my research
question. Based on my analysis of the available evidence, I formulated a research
question that addressed the gaps and limitations in the existing research. I ensured the
question was focused, clear, and relevant. I also confirmed that the question was
feasible and could be answered within the scope of my research. Overall, the historical
perspective and evidence from sources helped me develop a well-informed and relevant
research question.
