The purpose of this assignment is to examine the issue of Indian Removal during the 1830s by considering the various perspectives. This will allow you to "think historically" about one of the more dramatic events in our history. For this assignment, you will discuss BOTH perspectives (Cherokee and Andrew Jackson) regarding Cherokee Removal.Required ReadingsRead the following sources for this discussion:Cherokee sources :ATTACHED BELOWMemorial of the Cherokee NationCherokee Address to the American PeopleNote: The links to the original sources in the above Cherokee articles are troublesome. If you need to cite them in the source for your discussion post just use the name of the article.Andrew Jackson sources: ATTACHED BELOWAndrew Jackson’s Second Annual Address to CongressAndrew Jackson’s Seventh Annual Message to CongressInstructionsThere are two parts to your discussion, so be sure to complete BOTH parts: the Initial Posting and your Response. A.) For your INITIAL POSTING, you will examine the both sides of the debate over Indian Removal by first looking at the Cherokee perspective and then that of Andrew Jackson. As you read the primary sources (2 for the Cherokee and 2 for Andrew Jackson), identify the major arguments made by both and then upload a posting that discusses each perspective. You can be creative in how you complete the assignment – here are some examples of what you could do:1. post a traditional 2-paragraph (minimum) written response 2. create a Word/Publisher document 3. create a PowerPoint/Prezi presentation There is no paragraph/page limit for your initial posting (unless you write the traditional 2-paragraph minimum posting). Rather, take as long as you need to fully develop the main points of the readings – you are graded on how well you cover the main themes of both readings and your use of examples from the sources (for example, if you don’t include any examples from the reading, you will lose significant points). The key here is effort: minimal effort = low grade. Most of your posting should be in your own words. If you do use the exact wording from the sources, please be sure to put the quoted words in quotations. Be sure to proof your posting before uploading it.B) For your RESPONSE, I want you to read all of the postings by other students and reflect on what you have learned. Choose a posting to respond to and in your response spend one paragraph (at least 7-8 sentences) discussing what you think is the most important lesson learned by reading the primary sources and the postings by your peers. You can discuss anything you'd like as long as it is related to the topic of Indian/Cherokee Removal and that you use examples/evidence to support your overall discussion. For example, you can focus on the role of Andrew Jackson as President; the role of Congress; whether Cherokee did indeed have the right to remain on their lands (think of the court case Worcester v. Georgia); what this event tells us about the history of the United States. All I ask is that your response is thoughtful, respectful (this is a very sensitive topic), relates directly to what you have learned, and is at least a paragraph.

As you make your way through the readings and resources for this week’s Discussion, you begin to realize that social and political forces as well as scientific curiosity shaped the development of modern qualitative research. These readings also make it clear that qualitative research is not a single, homogenous endeavor. Rather, qualitative researchers:come from a variety of disciplines,engage their objects of study from multiple perspectives,present their results in numerous formats,extend scientific knowledge beyond the confines of the experiment or survey,engage the audience to be self-reflective, andpotentially illuminate opportunities for social change.This week’s course of study provides you with a contextual understanding of qualitative research, which will form the foundation for understanding the methods and rationale. These will also help you begin a thoughtful process for considering the choice of qualitative research as your methodology for your doctoral research.For this Discussion, you will explore the foundations and history of qualitative research methods. You also will consider the unique characteristics that distinguish qualitative research from other forms of inquiry.To prepare for this Discussion:Review the Learning Resources related to qualitative research and consider the reasons researchers choose qualitative research methods for exploring a phenomenon of interest.Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help in the Learning Resources to help you search for other books, encyclopedias, or articles that introduce and describe qualitative research.By Day 3Consider the statement: Qualitative researchers study people in their natural settings, attempting to make sense of phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them. Using the Learning Resources and other academic sources you found, expand on this simple statement. In 3–4 paragraphs, explain several dimensions of this paradigm that make qualitative research interesting and unique. Be sure to use the terminology you are learning (including but not limited to “phenomena”, “constructivist,” and “naturalistic”), and provide historical context.Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style, zero plagiarizing, quote work, no.coms
