What do you think are the most positive aspects of Washington’s positions about how African Americans should be educated and should find accommodation with white Americans?

What do you think are the most positive aspects of Washington’s positions about how African Americans should be educated and should find accommodation with white Americans? 2. What are the strongest arguments against Washington’s positions that Du

Two men emerged as the intellectual leaders of African Americans in the 1890s, one of whom was W.E.B. Dubois. In his Souls of Black Folk he is trying to describe the fate of African Americans since the end of the war. Please read Chapter 7, “Of the Black Belt” by DuBois to get an idea of how he summarizes how poor, rural African Americans were living in Georgia at that time. As you can see, DuBois considered himself to be a sociologist, so he tried to write objectively about the lives these people were living. Here’s the link to the book again: Souls of Black Folk

DuBois was a proponent of true higher education for African Americans. He differed from his contemporary Booker T. Washington who wanted to focus on practical training for African Americans so that they could do tradesmen jobs.

To see this contrast in opinions, please read Dubois’ Chapter 3: “Of Mr. Booker T. Washington and Others” and Chapter 6: “Of the Training of Black Men.”

In addition, please read Washington’s 1895 speech, dubbed The Atlanta Compromise: The Atlanta Compromise

Write three substantive responses to the above questions (200-250 words).

1. What do you think are the most positive aspects of Washington’s positions about how African Americans should be educated and should find accommodation with white Americans?

2. What are the strongest arguments against Washington’s positions that DuBois makes, in your view?

3. What do you believe (using the reading) could have been a solution to bridging the gap between the positions of Dubois and Washington?

This assignment requires you to read and summarize DuBois and Washington’s positions, and to compare the positions.

There is no “right” answer – just a well-considered one – for each question.

Western Civilization 1

Unit IV Essay Choose any of the Roman emperors, and write a biographical sketch explaining what you see as his most notable actions and character traits that impacted Western civilization. A biographical sketch is shorter and more specific than a typical biography of a person’s character, life, and achievements. It should provide readers with your insights into the person’s character and give people what you consider to be significant information about a historical figure. Step 1: Choose an appropriate source. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library. The Academic OneFile and General OneFile are databases in the CSU Online Library that would be good places to start your search. If you need additional help with using or locating information in the online library, there are Library Video Tutorials available on the main page of the online library under the heading “Research Guides.” You may use additional resources, but those sources cannot include Wikipedia, biography.com, history.com, or other encyclopedias. You may research the person on credible sources online or at your local library to read a variety of biographies about the person. Step 2: Complete your research. Choose one interesting experience that illustrates the main point that you want to make about that person’s life. Gather details about that incident. For example, write a timeline of the person’s life that will show that you know when and where the person was born; where he lived; what he did throughout the course of his life; and where, when, and how he died. Make a list of the person’s pursuits and accomplishments. You should know this person inside and out before you begin writing your sketch. Step 3: Draw conclusions, and prepare your thesis. Reflect on the life of the historical figure. Once you have done your research and have gathered enough information about the historical figure, you should sit back to think about what it HY 1010, Western Civilization I 3 means, to see if you notice any trends, and to have a better sense of what you want to convey about the person. Your thesis statement will offer your reader the overall insight into this person you have perceived. Use the following guidelines to help decide on your thesis:  Ask yourself about how the historical figure was shaped by his time period and environment.  Ask yourself how the historical figure impacted the lives of the people around him, the general public, and future generations.  Figure out which of the figure’s achievements and life experiences you may want to emphasize. Figure out which quality of the person you would most like to emphasize, and make sure the facts you present support it.  Find the perfect anecdote to demonstrate the qualities of the person you would most like to show. Step 4: Write your essay. Your essay should be at least one page in length. You are required to use at least one source from the CSU Online Library for your response. Be sure to consider the following guidelines in your essay:  The introduction should engage the reader and clearly present the essay’s thesis and a summary of the main points that clarify the writer’s point of view.  Organization should clearly present points arranged to illustrate your opening thesis.  Writing should be clear and concise with no spelling, grammatical, or punctuation errors.  The number of sources should meet or exceed any expressed assignment requirements and should be peerreviewed or academic in nature. At least one source must be from the CSU Online Library.  APA formatting guidelines should be used for reference entries and in-text citations.

Write three-to-four (3-4) new pages that address the following:
Define presidential doctrine and summarize the regional or global events during the Cold War leading up to the formation of the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1.
Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between the country you selected and the U.S. before the presidential doctrine was announced.
Describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and the country you selected in section (2) above.
Describe the effect that the presidential doctrine has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War.
Assess whether or not the presidential doctrine you wrote about in Assignment 1 doctrine had had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the country you selected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced.
Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
To help you understand this assignment further, the following description and examples may be useful.
Step 1: Define doctrine and identify why a president would want to announce one.

A doctrine is an ideological platform that a president uses to advance a policy towards a country or region in order to accomplish foreign policy goals for the United States, so you will need to expand on this theme.
Refer back to Assignment 1, and build on whatever doctrine you wrote about then. Say, for example, you selected the Truman Doctrine. Therefore, this is the only thing you will write about in Assignment 2 step 1.

Step 2: Select one country you wrote about in Assignment 1 and describe the Cold War relationship that existed between it and the U.S.

Before the presidential doctrine was announced. In the case of Truman, you would pick either the Soviet Union, Greece, or Iran, since all three were affected by his doctrine. If you are writing about the Eisenhower Doctrine, you would choose Lebanon or Egypt; if you wrote about the Kennedy Doctrine, you would have write about Cuba or Vietnam; if your wrote about the Nixon Doctrine, you would choose either Vietnam, Saudi Arabia or Iran; if you chose Carter, you would select either Iran or Afghanistan; and if you wrote about the Reagan Doctrine, you would select Nicaragua, Angola, Russia or Afghanistan (although there were several others).

Step 3: Describe what effect the presidential doctrine you chose has had on regional or global affairs since it was announced during the Cold War.

That is, how did the doctrine change the status quo regionally or globally after it was announced by the U.S.? What happened in Western Europe after the Truman Doctrine was announced? What happened in the Middle East after the Eisenhower Doctrine was announced? What happened with Cuba or Vietnam after Kennedy offered up his doctrine of flexible response? What happened in Southeast Asia or the Persian Gulf after the Nixon Doctrine went in effect? What happened in the Middle East after the Carter Doctrine was announced? What happened in Central America or Africa or the Middle East after Reagan announced his doctrine?
Step 4: Refer back to the country you selected in step two and describe the relationship that currently exists between the U.S. and that country.

How has the relationship changed between the U.S. and that country since the doctrine was announced?
Step 5: Evaluate whether or not the presidential doctrine had had the intended effect of altering the behavior of the one country you selected in section (2) above since the doctrine was first announced.
