HIS 135 Final Project Analysis
Final Project Overview and Timeline
Final Project Overview
The final project for HIS 135 is a written essay consisting of an overview of what you consider to be the most significant events in the decades following World War II. You must select one event that you studied—social, economic, or political—from each of the following decades: 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The event that you select should be the one that you believe had an overriding influence on U.S. culture, economy, or governmental policy within that decade. In order to explain why you think an event had a more powerful impact than other events within the same decade, you need to evaluate the following questions:
• How did the event you select fit in relationship …show more content…
• What was the nature of the event’s effect on the United States at the time?
• Do you believe this event:
o Accomplished the goals for which it was intended by the group(s) of people who caused it to happen? or o Failed to do that but accomplished something else? or o Both accomplished the goals for which it was intended and accomplished something else?
• What was the enduring nature of the event’s effect upon the United States as time went by in subsequent decades?
For each decade, the information that answers the above bullet points must be organized into a cohesive essay in APA format. The complete essay is 1,750 to 2,050 words in length. For the introduction, you need a short, one paragraph explanation of the purpose of the final paper and then one section for each decade—the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Conclude by hypothesizing changes you anticipate happening in the U.S. social, economic, or political climate of the next ten years, and by explaining the reasons for your hypothesis.
You are encouraged to be creative in titling each decade section and the final hypothesis section– feel free to let your opinion
