HIST 201: U.S. History, 1865-Present (Online Course) Spring 2018 (100 points) Essay Instructions – Due in a MS Word or Open Office Document before 10:00pm on May 4 (I will create a drop box under week 7’s course content where you can submit your assignment). History may appear as a series of self-evident events to the contemporary student. As one political scientist put it, the study of history is just reviewing “one damn thing after another.” However, closer analysis reveals that overlapping complications, unforeseen factors, and sometimes-outright spontaneity contributed to the past’s makeup. This assignment offers you three options that hint at the complexities of historical study. You must choose one of the two options below. Email me your selected option by 04/06. Option #1: Political Cartoons of Chinese – Americans – Several ethnic groups endured political, social and cultural persecution (such as African-Americans in the Jim Crow South, and Mexican-Americans in the Southwest). Chinese Americans were considered second-class citizens in the west. There are several political cartoons that depict stereotypical Chinese characters from the late 19th/early 20th centuries. Review the four Chinese-American illustrations listed under Week 2’s “Essay Files” through Blackboard. Option #2: Political Cartoons of the Second Red Scare – By September of 1945, the U.S., Britain, and the Soviet Union seemingly stood united as the champions of the free world. Yet, only a few years later, as Winston Churchill prophesized, the world devolved into an ideological contest dominated by the U.S. and Soviet Union’ camps. This struggle was also present on the home front with the witch hunt-like craze of McCarthyism searching for supposed seditious Communists. There are several political cartoons that criticized this frenzied moment in U.S. political history. Review the four political cartoons listed under Week 2’s “Essay Files” through Blackboard. Option #3: U.S. National Park Service World War II Memorial – The Second World War witnessed an unprecedented level of death and destruction across the globe. The U.S. World War II memorial reflects a part of that toll. Yet this reminder of an earth-shattering event simultaneously illustrates and glorifies labor, gender, political, and social events from the prewar period to 1945. For this option, you must visit the National World War II Memorial and choose a specific theme that the memorial highlights (e.g. the memorial’s images on labor illustrating the home front is one theme). After you visit the memorial, you must email me your selected theme by April 14. After selecting your option, complete the following instructions: Step 1: Complete and submit the Library Trail Assignment before 10:00 pm on April 16. Step 2: Write the first part of the assignment: Summarize your option’s historical contents within 250 words (1 page). Your summary should include any major acts of legislation, important historical players and events related to your period. Use the OpenStax text, political cartoons/memorial, and any relevant course websites to support your summary. Step 3: Write the second part of the assignment: Upon completing your summary, answer the following questions in 600-750 words (2.5-3 pages). What events/regions are the political cartoons/memorial images depicting? Do the illustrations accurately depict these events/regions, are they exaggerated, or are they a mix of truth and deception? How do the cartoonist or memorial’s intentions interfere or help illustrate this period of history? I encourage you to organize your paper by using subsection titles for steps 2 & 3 of this assignment. Submit both parts by May 4. Step 4 (for options #1 & 2 only!): As any observer of contemporary U.S. events will note, racial relations and federal government surveillance remain contentious issues. Given your analysis of the political cartoons and your research, do you think the U.S. has progressed in your option’s field? If you chose option #1, for instance, do you think racial relations have improved in the U.S. since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, why or why not? Write your response in 250-300 words. You must use your research and 2 newspaper articles (requirement #5 from the E-library trail assignment) to support your response. Research: You must use at least three academic sources for this assignment. These sources must come from academic journals and/or monographs. A number of academics have analyzed these topics. Only use sources written by professional academics. You will acquire more than enough research materials by successfully completing your E-library trail assignment. However, the following includes some suggestions on where you ought to look (and not look) for academic sources. Academic journals are the safest as they usually go through a review process that weeds out the incompetent, fraudulent and overly biased. You can usually trust a journal if it is published by a major university press. A simple subject search in the library catalogue will yield several possibilities. Articles from scholarly journals are usually excellent. If you see a reference to a journal article, try looking it up – the library holds many, many serials. The internet has masses of information. However, be very careful. Many web sites are outright frauds. Many simply repeat the errors of others. Many are purely personal, and reflect the author’s prejudices rather than scholarly analysis. Many are too lightweight to support a serious argument. You should stick to academic and institutional sites: an .edu site is probably safe, and an .org site is possibly safe. In taking notes on the internet, be sure to record the precise URL, which you will need for citations. The MC Library History website has a guide to evaluating research at http://libguides.montgomerycollege.edu/ld.php?content_id=13890922. There are resources available for all of these books in MC’s libraries. Do not wait until the week before this assignment is due to locate and research your sources. Make sure to take thorough notes on your research. Writing: If research is the work of history, then writing is the art. Writing in a clear and organized manner will assist the reader in understanding what you are saying and following your argument(s). Content is certainly important, but if the reader cannot understand what you are saying, then it does not matter how much research you put into this assignment. Write in full literary English. If you use the same conventions that you use on email and text messaging, I probably won’t understand it. Likewise, use formal English. If your language is not serious, your essay will not be taken seriously. Each paragraph should run 3-5 sentences, and should have one central event or idea. Longer paragraphs tend to lose the main thread. In addition, make sure that you write in full sentences: subject, verb, predicate. Do not mash multiple sentences together, separated by commas. In addition to following the assignment’s guidelines, note that this paper is not a copy and paste exercise. In other words, the majority of your essay ought to be paraphrased (written in your own words that are supported by credible sources). Direct quotes ought to be limited to supporting key points throughout your paper. Simply copying and pasting large blocks of text from your sources not only reduces your voice, but gives off an impression of laziness. Make sure to provide page numbers on your submitted paper. All of the Montgomery College Writing Centers are great resources that I encourage you to use. Citations: For this assignment, you must cite your work. This does not mean slapping on a “Work’s Cited” page at the end of your assignment. You must tell the reader exactly where you obtained your information. A paper without any citations will receive an automatic zero. A paper with only partial citations will lose points. History papers demand research and giving credit to where credit’s due. I recommend that you use MLA, but you may use APA or Chicago as long as you are consistent. For guidelines on MLA citations, review the following website, http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/02/. If you have any concerns or questions about when to cite your work, ask me. Grading: This paper is worth 100 points. Combined with the library trail assignment, it is worth 29.4% of your course grade. An A paper will meet the following requirements: • The paper is accompanied with page numbers and does not exceed 1,000 words (or 1,250-1,300 words for those of you completing options #1-2). Please do not start the first page by putting your text halfway down the page or put in large headers/footers on each page. I have seen a number of tricks that increase page numbers and none of them work. • The paper is written in a clear and organized matter. The reader is never confused about the reader’s main points, arguments, and chronology of events. • All of the assignment’s questions are answered in an accurate, clear and organized matter. • The paper is centered on a clear thesis statement. Throughout the entire paper, the writer reinforces their primary argument by citing their academic sources regularly. • • • In addition to the textbook, the supplemental online sites and lecture notes, you must locate and include three academic journal articles and/or monographs in your research (and 2 recent newspaper articles if you are completing options #12). All citations follow a proper MLA, APA, Chicago or Turabian style throughout the entire paper. The paper’s conclusion is followed by a bibliography or a Works Cited Section. There should be at least two in-text citations per page. I will create a drop box for this assignment, of which you ought to submit your file by May 4. THAT UNCLE SA MAY BE SWALLOWED BY FOREIGNERS.

POLITICAL CARTOONS OF ASIAN AMERICANS
Political Cartoons of Asian Americans
The cartoons reveal much racial as well as cultural segregation and one realizes how the
American society depicted the Asian immigrants. It is therefore important to understand the
American attitudes towards the immigrants as seen through these cartoons. Through political
cartoons one can recognize the attitudes that the American society has towards these immigrants
(Suriyopas, 2007).Though these cartoons were funny they revealed stereotypical attitudes
especially since cartoons can be used as political weapons. Through cartoons distract and joke
but they provide social commentaries on key issues affecting the community. The cartoons are
satirical comments and they use humor and caricature to pass over a particular message. They
even reflect the cartoonist’s choice of values as well as opinions.
The cartoon gives a visual as well as political representation of the views concerning the
Asian communities during...
