Humanities

Description

I have attached all my prior papers for this final research paper.



In the final project for this course you will create a 6-8 page Research Proposal for a longer paper you will write during LIB 495: Liberal Arts Capstone. (See the Week 1 Introduction for more information on the connection between LIB 356 and LIB 495.) Your research project must have a clearly defined original thesis that answers a significant research question with potential to advance knowledge in the humanities. In other words, you will need to go beyond what others have written. Build on what other scholars have written, and use their research to support your own viewpoint.

Your research proposal should include an explanation of your topic, an overview of what other scholars have already written about the topic, a preliminary statement of your own original thesis about the topic, and a brief outline of the reasons and evidence you plan to give in support of your thesis. You should follow the following outline.

    1. Revised paper topic from the Week 2 Assignment (1-2 pages).

      Follow the same format from Week 2: “I am studying _____ because I want to find out _____ so that my reader can better understand _____”. Don’t forget to also explain what problem you are trying to solve and what the consequence of not answering your research question would be, along with any potential practical applications of answering the question.

      Be sure to revise your topic based on the feedback you received from your Instructor and your classmates. Remember that your topic must be in a humanities field. You may use social science to supplement your research, but you must primarily approach your topic from the perspective of one or more humanities disciplines. (See the Week 2 Introduction for more information on the humanities.)
    1. Review of Current Scholarship (3-4 pages).

      Give your evaluation of the current scholarship about your topic, and justify how your research will attempt to advance human knowledge about the topic beyond what others have previously written about it.

      Drawing on your Annotated Bibliography assignment from Week 3, evaluate what other scholars have said about your topic. You may need to summarize some of your sources, but don’t simply summarize your sources one-by-one like you did in your Annotated Bibliography. Rather take a step back and look at the big picture. You should think about the following sorts of questions and address any that seem relevant to your topic. (You don’t need to answer all of these questions. Only address those that seem relevant to your specific case.) Are there certain themes you see recurring throughout your sources? Do these themes seem to be trending in a certain direction over time as you compare older and newer sources? Is there an emerging consensus toward which most scholars seem to be pointing, or are there two or more schools of thought that seem to reflect divisions in the scholarly community’s ideas about the topic? Are there aspects of the topic that have not been adequately addressed by previous scholars, either because these aspects have been misunderstood or ignored entirely? Are there problematic assumptions that most scholars make when addressing this topic? Are there older ideas that seem to have been forgotten by newer scholars, which you think might be helpful in solving current problems? How will your research help us understand the topic in new ways? What will you do differently than previous scholars have done? Etc.

      Note that this section is similar to what’s called a “literature review”. For more guidance on how a literature review differs from an annotated bibliography, consult the Ashford Writing Center handout (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.here https://awc.ashford.edu/PDFHandouts/Writing_a_Literature_Review.pdf. The overall purpose of this section is to show how your research fits into the larger conversation that scholars have had about your topic. See thisAshford Writing Center handout (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.: https://awc.ashford.edu/PDFHandouts/Entering_the_C...
    1. Thesis and outline (2-3 pages).

      Building off your workshop discussion from Week 4, state your overall thesis (i.e., the main claim that answers your research question) and summarize the argument you will use to support this claim. Outline all aspects of your argument, including each claim and sub-claim, along with each claim’s reasons, warrant, evidence, and response to alternative viewpoints (p. 116-117).

      You only need about one sentence for each claim or reason. Remember that you are not writing your whole paper yet. You are just giving an outline. You will explain all the details and provide documentation of the evidence in the final paper, which you will write in LIB 495.

The Research Proposal

  • Must be 6 to 8 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Running head: THESIS DRAFT 1 Thesis Draft Linwood D. Mason III LIB/332 Instructor Gregory Salyer July 10, 2017 THESIS DRAFT 2 Causes of the World War I & and World War II Although I claim there are numerous causes have been revealed for World War I and World War II. The world has gone through serious bloodshed that resulted in a huge number of people dead and displaced. Many developments have taken place after the wars, if we think of war third time it will lead this world into dark days forever. The primary causes of the world wars are imperialism, militarism, nationalism, and other crisis like Germany invaded Norway. There is a need to study the causes so that it should not happen again. (“World War II History”, n.d.) Imperialism is a situation when a country tries to the new areas or lands. By 1900 the Britishers had acquired more than five new regions as well as the control by France on vast regions of the African continent. Due to the ascent of industrialism, various countries conquered new marketplaces. The area "claimed" by France and Britain extended the contention through Germany who tried to mess up everything to obtain states and also regions of Africa. Militarism here is known as the military powers or the armed forces are given an outstanding administration. Because of increasing gap between European nations had provoked a race for weapons among the principle countries. The military forces of Germany and France had radically enlarged the area within 1870 and 1914 and this resulted in furious jealousy among Germany and Britain for the authority of the seas. Nationalism implies to be a strong sponsor for the betterment and rights of a nation. The Vienna’s Congress expected to deal with issues in Europe. Strong loyalist element provoked the restoration of Italy (1861) and Germany (1871). The resolution for the end of the war resulted in THESIS DRAFT France very angry for the loss of Alsace-Lorraine to Germany and strengthens them to quickly recuperate the regions lost. (“World War One”, n.d.) Even after facing bloodshed for two times, still, nations are finding loopholes and influencing other nations to fight for the blood. Along with the three causes discussed, there are many other causes which need an awareness of people. 3 THESIS DRAFT 4 References “World War One”, n.d., http://www.historyonthenet.com/world-war-one-causes-2/ “World War II History”, n.d., http://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/world-war-ii-history Running head: JOURNAL 1 Journal Linwood D. Mason III LIB/332 Instructor Gregory Salyer July 7, 2017 JOURNAL 2 Journal Regnerus embraced a particular correlation between conventional families and families with a parent required in a same-sex relationship, subsequently attracting expanded thoughtfulness regarding his outcomes. His decision negated many analyses in the writing, particularly those referred to by activists campaigning for the privilege of gay marriage and adoption of a child by same-sex couples. Notwithstanding the methodological qualities and one of a kind commitment of Regnerus' exertion, there were shortcomings that turned into the subject of many critiques. Various outcomes have been shown that Regnerus research was worth. Differing assumptions that lead Mark Regnerus and his critics to opposing conclusions about the same data There are numerous differing assumptions that resulted Mark Regnerus and his critics to opposing conclusions about the same data. These are given as follows: 1. Utilization of Knowledge Networks information: Regnerus was censured, for instance, for utilizing Knowledge Networks for acquiring his specimen. Knowledge Networks does not seem to direct irregular national examples essentially, however, gives an enlisted board of respondents thought to contrast positively with the attributes of a national arbitrary United States of America test. 2. Utilization of mixed orientation households (MOMs): Much has been made of the likelihood that Regnerus prevailing with regards to get-together information from children from mixed orientation household’s unions (MOMs). In any case, numerous different endeavors to think about GLB families have included such relational unions. One investigation, for instance, highlighted 72% of children who had been naturally JOURNAL 3 introduced to a past heterosexual marriage before joining a lesbian couple family at a normal period of more than 4 years. In any case, the aftereffects of such investigations are proclaimed as demonstrating to us how well lesbian families are getting along, despite the fact that they include large portions of similar impediments versus MOMs as Regnerus' NFSS analysis. 3. Subsidizing issues: as for financing, many distributed investigations have been supported by master gay backing gatherings but then a couple of report questions about the impact of such subsidizing on look into results; however, since the NFSS was subsidized by traditionalist gatherings, such questions are conveyed to the bleeding edge. (Moncher, 2013) Possibility of value-neutral research Value-neutral research has its scholarly roots in the thoughts of enlightenment. Edification masterminds suspected that the essential trait of individuals was their ability to reason. On the off chance that individuals are permitted to create and practice this focal trait, these masterminds contended, both people and society all in all will enhance since people will, at last, have the capacity to make more prominent commitments to society. Manufactured breaking points to singular freedom, forced by the state or other social organizations, would have the impact of smothering the advance of individual development and denying society of thoughts and imagination important for the advancement to happen. The idea about the study of children from gay parents are worse than the children from heterosexual parents are controversial yet they attract thoughtfulness regarding the likelihood that endeavors to free the traditionalist viewpoint of individuals that may not exclusively be JOURNAL purposeless in light of the fact that the organic or logical learning is fundamentally perspectival, they can likewise be epistemically exorbitant on the grounds that they keep researchers from having the epistemic advantages certain outlooks can manage.

Mason III LIB/332 Instructor Gregory Salyer June 26, 2017 THE RESEARCH CRAFT 2 The Research Craft I am studying the causes of the World War I & and World War II because I want to find out whether it was pre-meditated and planned or it happened spontaneously so that my reader can better understand who were the key participants, whether all nations participated and to what extent. Similarly, my study seeks to find out whether the war impacted the entire world and at the same time come up with measures to prevent any other global war from happening again in the future. The world experienced a bloodshed that left a large number of people dead, some displaced with massive destruction of property. However, people never learned a lesson from such deadly experience and even today, one century later, some countries nations still bay for other nations’ blood. Since WWI and WWII, the world has seen major developments in infrastructure and contemplating another war will be taking the whole world into the dark days which will see a massive destruction of the contemporary beauty of the earth. The world has various strategies from powerful world nations with all what are needed to prevent any possible world war occurring again. If the key issues that led to the war are analyzed and addressed in addition to carefully managing the production of dangerous weapons and training of forces on the issues of the war, it would be possible to prevent such an occurrence as experienced a decade ago. History will be an appropriate reference discipline to be reviewed in this research. The past historical warfare events shall be a vital element to determine significant issues that led the world to the dark days of the war in the early 19th century. Measures and mechanisms will be developed from the historical point of view. THE RESEARCH CRAFT 3 References Booth, W.C., Colomb, G.G., & Williams, J.M. (2008). The Craft of Research. (3rd Ed.)

Mason III LIB/332 Instructor Gregory Salyer July 7, 2017 1 1ST WORLD WAR AND 2nd WORLD WAR 2 Thesis Statement: Although I acknowledge that the causes of 1st World War and 2nd World War were complex, I claim that their major causes were pre-mediated and planned because of the various preparations the key participants had made before the Wars. Introduction The major causes of 1st World War and 2nd World War were pre-mediated and planned since most of the causes could have been avoided. The key participants of both wars engaged in activities which created an environment of war which made the two World Wars have a great impact on both the warring participants. This paper will discuss the causes of 1st War and 2nd World War to support that the pre-mediation and plans for the wars. This will include mentioning the key participants and the extent to which they participated. The paper will also support how the wars impacted the world and provide measures which would prevent the occurrence of any other global war. The Causes of 1st World War, Key Participants, and Impacts 1st World War transpired between the year 1914 and the year 1918 which left over 20 million people dead and massive destruction of property. I claim that the major causes of World War I were planned among them being the formation of mutual defense alliances. Over time, many nations throughout Europe formed various mutual defense agreements which prepared them for war. These agreements implied that the attack on one country would make the allied countries to defend them (Olusoga, 2015). The major alliances during the war include the Triple Entente and Triple Alliance. I also claim that imperialism also contributed to the war whereby the European countries increased their competition to occupy greater territories in Africa and Asia leading to confrontations which led to World War I. I also claim that the major participants 1ST WORLD WAR AND 2nd WORLD WAR 3 of the war also prepared for the war by building their military powers where countries like Germany, Russia, and Great Britain greatly invested in military expansion in preparation for the war. I acknowledge that the World War I did not involve all the nations in the world whereby the major participants comprised of the two major alliances formed: Triple Entente and Triple Alliance. The Triple Alliance comprised of Italy, Germany, and Austria-Hungary while Russia, Britain, and France comprised the Triple Entente (Olusoga, 2015). Other nations which played part in the war included the U. S., Japan, Portugal, Greece, China, Romania as well as South American countries like Peru and Brazil. I acknowledge that the World War I had a great impact which severely impacted the participating nations and to a great extent, the nations which the war was fought on their soil. The war was responsible for the demise of more than 20 million soldiers and millions of others would. I also claim that the War also impacted the whole world whereby it helped to spread the influenza epidemic which also took millions of lives (Nye Jr, & Welch, 2016). The War also destroyed the global economy since huge resources were spent in the war. The countries which were heavily impacted included Germany, Turkey, and Austria-Hungary which were major fighting grounds during the war. The Causes of 2nd World War, Key Participants, and Impacts The 2nd World War commenced in 1939 after the invasion of Poland by Germany leading to France and Britain announcing war against Germany. Although I acknowledge that Germany triggered the war by invading Poland, I claim that the causes of the World War II were predetermined by a variety of factors. I claim that the major factor that pre-determined the World War II was the Versailles Treaty. This is the treat which terminated the 1st World War but since 1ST WORLD WAR AND 2nd WORLD WAR 4 Germany was the loser during the war, the treaty forced Germany to bear the war damages incurred by the allies (Olusoga, 2015). I thus acknowledge that the Treaty ruined the Germany economy which made her bitter leading to rising of the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler who aimed at restoring the national pride of the Germans. I claim that Hitler’s activities were creating an environment of the World War II whereby he violated the constraints on Germany imposed by the Versailles Treaty. Germany started expanding its empire whereby it took over Austria and Czechoslovakia which provoked the allies into the war. I also claim that the war was also predetermined by the formation of alliances in preparation for another war whereby the two alliances were formed which were The Axis and The Allies. I also claim that the rise of fascism was also a preparation for WWII whereby dictators rose to power in various countries like Italy and Spain and started expanding their empires which created a war environment. The key participants in the World War II were the Axis and the Allies nations. The key participants in the Axis comprised of Germany, Italy, and Japan while other nations which supported them to a great extent included Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, and Thailand. The majority of the nations supported the Allies whose key participants included France, Great Britain, the U.S., Greece, Russia, and Turkey (Olusoga, 2015). They were also supported by various countries among including China, Brazil, Australia, Belgium, Poland, Netherlands among others. I acknowledge that the war impacted greatly the key participants whereby more than 50 million people were killed including the civilians. The war also led to massive destruction of property which destroyed the economy of many countries participating in the war. I thus claim that the war heavily impacted the nations which were used as the fighting ground during the war especially Germany. 1ST WORLD WAR AND 2nd WORLD WAR 5 Measures That Would Prevent Any Other World War from Happening Although I acknowledge the fragility of the United Nations’ system in preventing the occurrence of another global war, I claim that this can be prevented by taking a variety of international security measures. I acknowledge that violent conflicts have been increasing because of the increased availability of firearms and the machinery of war. I thus acknowledge that the risks of another global war are enormous because of the military potential that many nations have developed. I thus claim that preventing the occurrence of another global require supporting the reduction in armed conflicts by increasing the support to the UN-sponsored processes of maintaining global peace. This is because the UN peace processes and negotiations minimize violent conflict even if they may not prevent the conflict (Nye Jr, & Welch, 2016). I also claim that strengthening the international laws of armed conflict and human rights as well as the international criminal court of justice, military, and economic sanctions, and the war crime tribunals would be essential in preventing the occurrence of another global war. Conclusion The causes of both the 1st World War and the 2nd World War were pre-mediated and thus they could have been avoided saving the millions of the lives lost. Most of the causes of 1st World War and 2nd World War were planned through the various preparations made by strong powers in the anticipation of a war. Both the two global wars affected to a great extent the key participants. Although the war had an impact on the economy of the entire world, the key participants were affected greatly especially through the millions of lives lost. It is thus essential to strengthen the international security measures that would prevent any other global war from happening. 1ST WORLD WAR AND 2nd WORLD WAR 6 Reference Nye Jr, J. S., & Welch, D.

The causes for World War One are convoluted and not at all like the reasons for World War Two, where the liable party was plain to all, there is no such lucidity. Germany has been faulted in light of the fact that she attacked Belgium in August 1914 when Britain had guaranteed to ensure Belgium. In any case, the road festivities that went with the British and French announcement of war gives history specialists the feeling that the move was well known and government officials have a tendency to run with the prominent state of mind. Italy had joined these nations as she dreaded their energy on her northern outskirt. Germany was terrain Europe's most capable nation – so from Italy's perspective, being a partner of Germany was a conspicuous move. “Causes of World War I”, n.d., http://research.omicsgroup.org/index.php/Causes_of_World_War_I The fundamental reasons for World War I, which started in The Balkans in late July 1914, are a few. Among these causes were political, regional, and financial clashes among the considerable European powers in the four decades paving the way to the war. Extra causes were militarism, a perplexing web of organizations together, government, and patriotism. The quick roots of the war, nonetheless, lay in the choices taken by statesmen and commanders amid the July Crisis of 1914 caused by the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his significant other Sophie by Gavrilo Princip, a tribal Serb and Yugoslav nationalist from the crowd Young Bosnia, which was upheld by the Black Hand, a patriot association in Serbia. ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 3 “World War I Origins”, 2015, http://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/view/document/obo9780199791279/obo-9780199791279-0006.xml The roots of World War I are best abridged in two settings. The principal pushes long haul issues, for example, patriotism, realism, and militarism. It investigates a conciliatory framework that lapsed into match collisions that gambled transforming any contention into a doomsday machine. This basic approach consolidates the local strains produced by industrialism, a move that prompted the rise of a high society of old nobles and new bourgeoisie willing to hazard war to keep up their position. The second setting of the war's starting points underlines volitional components. The conditions of Great Powers, Europe, and lesser ones, connected by choices that were made by moderately little gatherings of legislators, authorities, and warriors so that generally little occasions, for example, the death of Habsburg Archduke Franz Ferdinand, could set off a chain response of occasions prompting a war nobody needed.

The war amongst Prussia (the future German Empire) and France that kept going from 1870 - 1871 finished with an ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 4 embarrassing thrashing for France. In 1888, with the promotion of Wilhelm II to the German throne, the German outside arrangement turned out to be more hostile. The new German Emperor rejected the dexterous Otto von Bismarck as a Chancellor. He additionally declined to reestablish the Reinsurance Treaty with Russia that reserved up the delicate peace amongst Austria-Hungary and Russia, and also set aside France segregated. Russo-Japanese competition over Korea and Manchuria achieved its stature with the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). “The Origins of WWI”, n.d., http://www.historyonthenet.com/authentichistory/1914-1920/1overview/1-origins/ One of the primary drivers of the First World War was colonialism: an unequal relationship, frequently as a domain, constrained on different nations and people groups, bringing about control and subordination of financial aspects, culture, and region. History specialists differ on whether the essential impulse for colonialism was social or monetary, however, whatsoever the cause, Europeans in the late nineteenth century progressively protected their entrance to business sectors, crude materials, and profits for their speculations by seizing through and through military and political control of the immature world. Between the 1850s and 1911, all of Africa was colonized aside from Liberia and Ethiopia. The British, who had forced direct, manage on India in 1858, possessed Egypt in 1882, most likely a key need to secure their Indian advantages. The French, who had started preacher effort in Indochina in the seventeenth century, completed their successes of the area in 1887, and in 1893 they added to it neighboring Laos and a little bit of China. ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 5 “Causes of World War II”, n.d., http://dailyhistory.org/Causes_of_World_War_II_Top_Ten_Booklist Historians trusted that government officials, for example, Hitler and Mussolini were just reacting to occasions and were go-getters who abused the circumstance in 1930s Europe for their own national self-interests. At first, British and French feeling acknowledged this, however as Hitler turned out to be more aggressive, it was not any more workable for the western vote based systems to ensure German expansionism. Popular supposition in Britain changed and needed a more proactive reaction to Hitler. This prompted an adjustment in British outside approach, which turned out to be progressively unfriendly to Germany. It straightforwardly prompted the British government issuing a final proposal to Germany over Poland and this brought about the affirmation of war in September 1939. “World War Two – Causes”, 2014, http://www.historyonthenet.com/world-war-two-causes/ World War Two started in September 1939 when France and Britain proclaimed war on Germany following Germany's attack on Poland. Hitler made two critical organizations together amid 1936. The first was known as the Rome-Berlin Axis Pact and unified Hitler's Germany with Mussolini's Italy. The second was known as the Anti-Comintern Pact and associated Germany with Japan. In 1936, Hitler contended that since France had marked another settlement with Russia, Germany was under risk from both nations and it was fundamental to German security that troops were stationed in the Rhineland. At the point when Hitler attacked whatever is left of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, he broke the terms of the Munich Agreement. Despite the fact that it was understood that the ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 6 arrangement of conciliation had fizzled, Chamberlain was as yet not set up to take the nation to war more than “. a squabble in a distant nation between individuals of whom we don't know anything." Instead, he made an assurance to go to Poland's guide if Hitler attacked Poland. Finney, Patrick. Remembering The Road to World War Two: International History, National Identity, Collective Memory. Routledge, 2010. eBook Collection (EBSCOhost). Author tells the peruser that the memory of the World War II is currently subsiding into the terrible openings of the history, were it not for the way that he makes it easy later on in the book. In this manner, for example, Hitler by and large in charge of the war and the survey of Nazism as a distortion in German record empowered the German individuals rapidly to "overlook" the war, and the barbarities that went with it, along these lines encouraging the establishment and working of a popularity based Federal German Republic.

CAUSES OF THE WORLD WARS

2

In essence, up to date, historians continue the debate on the major causes of the two
world wars. Some of the historians have done research on what could have been the cause of the
first and second world wars. While some claim that world wars resulted from political, social,
financial and regional clashes, others argue that the major causes of the two wars include
nationalism, militarism, alliances between nations, and imperialism among others. However,
some of the historians maintain that the reasons for the world wars were planned for and hence
could have been avoided. This paper supports the claim that the first and second world wars
resulted in factors such as militarism, nationalism, alliances between nations, and imperialism. It
also uses scholarly articles to support its argument concerning how these factors caused the
world wars.
Based on a literature review done on numerous research articles concerning the cause of
world wars, it comes out that the majority of the historians support the argument that factors such
as militarism, nationalism, and imperialism are the cause of the wars. However, some of the
historians hold the notion that political, financial and regional problems paved the way for the
two world wars. Factors such as militarism, imperialism, and alliances between countries are
believed to be the starting points of the world war. These issues provoked nations to indulge in
wars amongst themselves. However, these nations found assistance from other countries thus
ended up forming alliances that would allow them to protect their people from enemy nations.
Consequently, these factors are assumed to have created a war environment. Those
people who claim that issues such as imperialism, militarism, and nationalism are the major
triggers of the world wars failed to consider that there could have been other factors that led to
world wars. These are the most focused on factors linked to the world wars. Therefore, other
factors are deemed to be minor causes.
