For Discussion Board #4, write three (3) posts where you address any of the following five questions.
Here are the questions you can address:
Who is your favorite figure from Modern World History? What is appealing for you about this person? An extraordinary monarch or emperor? A brilliant scientist or thinker? A trailblazer of new ideas or breaking cultural/social norms? A literary or artistic genius? An outstanding military figure? Or even an unsung, little recognized figure never given his or her proper acknowledgement? Be sure to build your case with the person’s story and reasons for your admiration.
Recommend for your classmates any literary novels OR paintings to view from any period of Modern World History (1500 to the 21st century). Your geographic range may include Europe, Asia, Africa, or the Americas. For a novel recommendation, after a brief plot synopsis, describe what is engrossing, influential or thematically significant about the novel. Does the novel say anything significant about a famous figure, event, or era from Modern World History? For paintings, identify the work or art and the artist and describe the captivating appeal the painting holds for you. Does it have a way of portraying a famous figure, event, or era from Modern World History? You may also if you wish, cut and paste a Google image of the painting in your answer.
The Age of “New” Imperialism marked a decisive era in Modern World History. For better or worse, Western values, ideas, technology and economic systems spread globally and shaped our present world. Still highly controversial and politically charged, many criticize this period as doing great harm to the world with exploitation and sometime cruel treatment of native subjects, land appropriation, seizure of natural resources, and extinguishing native traditions. But others point out that while acknowledging imperialism’s dark side, this era also brought modernization, technology, education, modern political systems, and reshaping economies that in time would bring colonies (eventual independent nations) wealth and stability. Write your views where you stand on the historical legacy of “New” Imperialism – overall more benefit than harm, condemnation, or something in between.
One of the major events shaping and defining the modern world was globalization, the process of now knowing the full geographic world, connecting previously isolated continents and peoples, and creating a fully integrated and interactive world. Features and institutions such as transportation, communication, economies/trade, ideas/information, relationships, love/hate, war, disease, and even terrorism have a global reach. Write your views on what you believe (you can address one or several) are the greatest triumphs, advantages/disadvantages, challenges or even tragedies of living in the Age of Globalization.
Throughout this course we have learned how specific forces and events shaped the direction of Modern World History. Based upon your understanding and reflection of such topics like the Age of Exploration, Scientific Revolution, Age of Enlightenment, French Revolution, Napoleonic Era, Industrial Revolution, and “New” Imperialism do you believe either 1) individuals, 2) technology, or 3) ideas have exerted the greatest impact upon shaping Modern World History. You may argue one choice or rank and discuss all three.

The maximum word count for this essay is 4500 words. Here is the essay brief of the project – This should be an extended essay on a single or small number of directly related primary sources. The source/s should be focused, ie. a single book, painting, collection of letters, museum object, or alike. You should not try and select a broad range of different sources covering some theme.
The focus of the essay should be on situating the source/s in the appropriate historical context, advancing an argument with regards to interpretation, and reflecting on methodological and historiographical problems the source/s pose. You will also need to identify and make use of appropriate secondary literature yourself. The best essays will offer a novel interpretation of how to think about a particular period, place, episode, theme, or genre of source.
The 3 sources you’ll be looking at are 1)The Trench 2)The war 3)War cripples. in this essay you’ll have to analyse each source drawing onto what it highlights. Mention histography, historical context and discuss provenance when analysing each source. Discuss ideas of total war, social impacts, militarisation, expressionism in Germany at the time all leading back to the question and what insights the paintings offer on the horrors of war. When looking at the source and weighting it its important to critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of using visual sources like paintings as historical evidence, addressing issues of subjectivity, interpretation, and cultural context.
Interpreting Dix’s paintings within a historical context requires careful consideration of methodological approaches and historiographical debates. Formal analysis, iconographic interpretation, and contextual understanding are essential tools for unraveling the layers of meaning in these artworks. Moreover, engaging with secondary literature on German Expressionism, World War I history, and art historiography enriches our understanding of Dix’s contributions and the broader cultural milieu of his time.
Here are all possible ideas to tie in cial and Political Turmoil: Explore the broader socio-political context of Germany during World War I, including the effects of the war on civilian populations, the rise of revolutionary movements, and the collapse of traditional societal structures. Discuss how Dix’s paintings reflect these upheavals and contribute to our understanding of the era’s social dynamics.
Psychological Impact of War: Delve into the psychological consequences of total war, examining how soldiers and civilians alike grappled with trauma, anxiety, and disillusionment. Analyze how Dix’s artistic choices, such as distorted figures and haunting imagery, convey the psychological toll of wartime experiences.
Technological Advancements in Warfare: Consider the technological innovations introduced during World War I, such as mechanized weaponry, chemical warfare, and aerial bombardment. Discuss how these advancements influenced the nature of combat and contributed to the devastation depicted in Dix’s paintings.
Cultural and Artistic Movements: Connect Dix’s work to broader cultural and artistic movements of the time, such as Dadaism and Futurism. Explore how these avant-garde movements responded to the chaos of war and challenged traditional artistic conventions, influencing Dix’s own artistic style and thematic choices.
Memory and Remembrance: Reflect on the role of art in shaping collective memory and remembrance of war. Consider how Dix’s paintings, with their raw depiction of suffering and sacrifice, contribute to ongoing discussions about war memory, memorialization, and the ethical responsibilities of representing historical trauma through art.
Be sure to support the anaylsis with fact. You are analysing how well these paintings portray actual events. So be sure to be detailed and historically accurate. The essay should follow these points Argument: does the work give a persuasive answer to the question, with good use of evidence?
Knowledge: is the work based on a thorough factual knowledge of relevant historical events?
Understanding: does the work give a critical analysis of sources, theories, methods, and/or debates that are relevant to the topic at hand?
Presentation: is the work clearly written, logically organised, and correctly referenced?
In each class below, the bullet points cover argument, knowledge, understanding, and presentation, in that order.
First (88, 94, 100)
Compelling answer to the question, expertly supported by evidence
Comprehensive and precise knowledge of relevant topics and sources

ive added a sample essay. As well as these sources use secondary literate, histiogrphy and academic work to support your points. Also as its a painting have a photo of each painting above each section. Keep in mind the following points when anylsing a painting Visual Analysis: Begin by conducting a thorough visual analysis of each painting. Pay attention to details such as color palette, composition, brushwork, use of symbolism, and depiction of figures. Consider how these visual elements contribute to the overall message and emotional impact of the painting.
Contextual Understanding: Place each painting within its historical context, specifically the context of World War I. Consider the time period, societal norms, political climate, and the experiences of people during the war. Think about how these contextual factors influenced Dix’s artistic choices and the themes he explored in his paintings.
Interpretation and Meaning: Move beyond the surface level and delve into the deeper meaning of each painting. Interpret the symbolism used by Dix and analyze what each element represents in the context of the war. Consider how Dix’s personal experiences as a soldier in World War I may have influenced his interpretation of the subject matter.
Comparison to Written Sources: Compare and contrast the insights gained from the paintings with information from written historical sources. Consider how the paintings offer a unique perspective or complement the narratives found in traditional historical texts. Reflect on the strengths and limitations of using visual art as a historical source compared to written documents.
Impact and Legacy: Finally, discuss the impact and legacy of these paintings both during and after World War I. Analyze how they were received by contemporary audiences and how they have been interpreted by historians and art critics over time. Consider the role of art in shaping public memory and understanding of historical events.

The foundation of this project lies in the SIFT method (Stop, Investigate, Find better sources, Trace claims), a systematic approach to assessing online sources:
Stop: Pause before accepting information at face value. This step encourages critical thinking and skepticism.
Investigate: Scrutinize the website for credible, authoritative sources and potential biases. Consider the author’s qualifications and any discernible agendas.
Find Better Sources: Seek out alternative sources to cross-verify information and identify inconsistencies.
Trace Claims: Verify the accuracy and currency of the information presented on the website.
Upon evaluating the chosen website, students are expected to craft a thoughtful critique. They should ponder whether the site relies on credible, authoritative sources or if there’s a discernible bias or hidden agenda. Cross-referencing multiple sources to check for inconsistencies and ensuring the currency of information are essential steps in this process.
Furthermore, students will be required to share their findings with the class. This part of the assignment attempts to promote critical discussion and peer learning.
The purpose of this assignment is to equip students with valuable skills in information literacy and critical thinking, vital not only for their future academic pursuits but also for their roles as informed citizens living in the digital age. It encourages students to explore African American history with discerning eyes, ensuring the integrity of their research and understanding.

Important Info

The order was placed through a short procedure (customer skipped some order details).
Please clarify some paper details before starting to work on the order.

Type of paper and subject
Number of sources and formatting style
Type of service (writing, rewriting, etc)

Research papers often start by first submitting a proposal
This assignment will be a start to the written assignment due at the end of Week Six. For this assignment, you will need to start your research. You are allowed to choose your own topic, as long as it fits the the subject and time period of this course – American history before 1877. This means no papers on Hitler or the Holocaust, or Richard Nixon, World War II or the Great Depression, or anything else that is outside either the course time frame or subject area. If you are unsure if your topic is acceptable, please contact your instructor. Also, you want a topic that can be done in a three page paper. The entire Civil War – not so much. But a specific battle or person from the war, yes.
Then work through the following form. Formulate a thesis statement – an argument. List three aspect of your topic that you will use to support your thesis. An important note about your questions – you should formulate your questions before you look for sources. The questions should be related, part of a coherent whole, and not simply drawn from three different sources. If you create the questions only after finding sources, it’s very easy to end up with three entirely different questions that have nothing to do with each other. That will turn your three page paper into what amounts to three separate even shorter papers, which is not what I want. The questions do not have to be super-specific, just related to the general topic. The questions can then lead you to sources, rather than just randomly selecting sources from search results.
Then find three scholarly sources for your research. Scholarly means peer-reviewed or published by an academic or scholarly publisher. Note that encyclopedias and sites like history.com are NOT scholarly sources. The APUS Trefry Library is a good place to look for such sources, as is the Google Scholar search engine. These are required to be primary and secondary sources. These need to be formatted according to the style guidelines you choose – APA, MLA, or Chicago Manual of Style.
Please use the following format for this assignment and submit your proposal as a Word document. The format is also attached as a Blank Form you can download and fill in.
The Proposal is due on Sunday by 11:55 PM, ET.
