I want to do 90s Hip Hop music and how it speaks out on racial injustice in America******** Each student, in consultation with the instructor, will choose a musical genre or topic and prepare a class presentation accompanied by a written background paper. If you choose a genre, be specific. Don’t choose a broad genre like rock and roll. Narrow the genre to a very specific area of rock and roll like West Coast Grunge Rock of the 1990’s or Women in Rock. Click here for some genre examples. How does the repertoire you’ve chosen relate to issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, or other definers of identity? Bear in mind that while lyrics and performance are important, you must address musical issues as well What is the topic you would like to discuss in your Research Paper?

For this assignment write 250 words you need to determine which level of analysis you think best describes why the Cold War ended.

Read the “Declaration of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (1945)” for lesson 5 discussion and using a minimum of 200 words (not including quotations) respond to the following questions. Make sure to reference specific passages from the document and/or textbook to support your discussion:  Just as the American Declaration of Independence listed grievances against the King of England, what grievances does this document list against the French?  How did the Japanese occupation of Vietnam complicate Vietnamese attitudes toward the French? Why do the Vietnamese anticipate a favorable reaction from the international community, in particular the United States, toward their declaration of independence?  Why do you suppose the Truman Administration was not supportive of this declaration? make a response: The grievances against the French are highlighted in this document as listed. The French have deprived the Vietnamese of democratic liberty. They have set up three political regimes, which is separating their nation. More prisons have been constructed than they have schools. Uprisings result in deaths. They are forced to use opium and alcohol. The Vietnamese land and people are impoverished. The French have monopolized the export of trade in Vietnam. Raw materials, rice fields, mines, and forests have been taken from the Vietnamese. The French have also imposed taxes that have created an extreme state of poverty among the people. The Japanese occupation of Vietnam complicated their attitudes towards the French because in the span of five years, the French have sold Vietnam to the Japanese two times. Not only were they trying to gain independence from the French, but now also from the Japanese. The Vietnamese anticipate a favorable reaction from communities. They believe that the Allied Nations understand the idea of equality among nations. They also view the idea of self determination as being a common practice among nations, which is said in one of the last paragraphs in the document. They believe that since they have been opposing French domination for more than eight years that they deserve to be free and independent. In Chapter 25 of the textbook it basically states that the U.S. sacrificed Vietnam’s self determination for France’s colonial imperatives. So Vietnam’s leader turned to the Soviet Union in order to fight against French colonizers. The Truman Administration was not supportive of their declaration, because the U.S. wanted France as an ally in their efforts to contain the Soviet Union. Truman felt that if he supported Vietnamese independence, anticommunist forces in France would be weakened. On page 266 in the textbook it says that Vietnam was divided into two sections. In the north it was a Soviet/Chinese supported state. While in the south it was an American supported area.
