The dead sea is one of the saltiest waters in the world. it is said that when you bathe here even if you don’t know how to swim you will not drown because you will just float and besides that the mud in the dead sea is also said to cure skin diseases and is good for human health in fact, it became the first health resort it in the world. what is the scientific explanation why it is easier to float in the dead sea? And why is it called the dead sea? The dead sea can be seen between Jordan and Israel, the truth is that it is not really a sea, the dead sea is a salt lake. the dead sea is a hypersaline lake which means that its salinity or salt is very high, its salinity level is 34%. and 10 times higher than the sea. due to too much salt in the water it becomes denser than typical sea water, the salt content is higher and the buoyancy is high which is why something floats in the water. according to scientists the density of water in the dead sea is 1240kg/m3 while the average density in the human body is approximately 985kg/m3 the density of the human body is lower relative to the water density of the dead sea so you will really float here effortlessly. because the dead sea is so dense, it’s thick and it’s like you’re swimming in olive oil.

Topic: To what extent did America regain stability/return to normalcy following the Conservative Turn? No research outside, I’ll prove you lecture videos and readings.

For your essay, please choose Religious Contact theme and use it to analyze change over time in the Global Middle Ages, between 1000–1600. Your essay must use at least one primary source from each of the 3 units —at least 3 primary sources in total. An excellent essay will also use secondary sources and class lectures to build the context for the primary sources and the changes you demonstrate.
Your response will be judged on the quality of your historical and source analysis, as well as the depth and sophistication of the context you provide for the texts and historical developments.
I have uploaded one primary and one secondary sources for each unite. The Alexiad is the primary and The Normans is the secondary source (1000-1200C). From (1200-1400C) The secret History of Mongol is the primary and Temur and the early Timurids is the secondary. From (1400-1600C) 95 Theses is the Primary and Cemal Kafadar is the secondary.

No idea is more fundamental to Americans’ sense of themselves as individuals and as a nation than freedom.” (Foner, et al, Preface to Give Me Liberty!, xxxi)
If there is a single idea that has unified the narrative of this course on American history it is the idea of freedom. Yet, as we have seen, freedom is a far more complicated idea that it might first seem. When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence he stressed the universal and innate character of human freedom, prior to the establishment of any political state:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” (Jefferson, Declaration of Independence)
Certainly, Jefferson’s aim was to conceive of a more fundamental—and unalienable—concept of freedom than that which colonists exercised under the “English Liberties” established by the British constitutional monarchy. Yet, in practice, freedom in American history is far more inconsistent, contested, restricted, denied, and that many have had to struggle to attain freedom’s basic exercise.
For the third and final paper of the course you will develop a unique historical argument about the meanings of freedom since the end of the Civil War: how it was exercised by some and not others; how some Americans conceived of their own freedom as dependent upon its denial to others; how it has been achieved by some and then lost; how Americans have used the idea of freedom to define their sense of identity in different historical contexts.
Requirements for Paper 3:
Choose three events from three separate historical periods in which the idea of freedom is present in some sense. Each event you choose must come from the following historical periods (one event from each period):
Reconstruction to the Progressive Era (1865-1920)
World War I through Watergate (1914-1973)
Neoliberalism to the present (1970-2024)
For each event you choose, explain how freedom was exercised, attained, restricted, denied, or otherwise struggled for.
For each event explain either the continuity of freedom over time (how it endured, or was reinforced), or its discontinuity (how it was modified or changed from earlier periods).
To support your argument, in your paper, for each event that you analyze, discuss (at least) one primary source from the course reading assignments (either from Voices of Freedom or other assigned readings, but not from sources other than those assigned). Also, select sources that were not analyzed in previous papers (do not choose Douglass, Luce, or Wallace).
Based on your historical analysis, develop a thesis about the meaning and significance of the idea of freedom in American history. For example: Why is freedom significant? Why is it contested? Why is it elusive?
For the paper it is absolutely imperative that you cite your sources using one of the acceptable academic citation styles (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.), and that the citations appear correctly in the body of your paper. If you fail to submit a paper with citations you will fail the assignment. You must cite your sources.
Your paper must be submitted to Turnitin. There is a link to upload your paper on this page.
The paper must include the following:
A descriiptive title.
A thesis statement and an argument.
Provide evidence from primary sources among the course readings to support your thesis statement. The evidence must come from the texts themselves.
Use in-text citations when quoting or paraphrasing a source (either parenthetical citations or footnote/endnotes).
Include a bibliography at the end of your paper.
1000-1500 words (a minimum of 4 full pages, roughly, 4-6 pages).
10 or 12-point readable font, double-spaced, with 1” margins
Submit your paper on Canvas using the Turnitin link. You will only be able to submit your paper once. You must submit the file in a .doc, .docx, or .pdf file format, but not in a .pages format or with a Google Docs link.
