Riggo~Important Themes of the 19th Century

  The Assignment:
 

Background Information:  The umbrella of the 19^th Century covers the time period of 1750 to 1914.  Historians refer to this period as The Long 19^th Century and it is characterized by several themes which have shaped the world we live in today.  These themes are Industrialization, Revolution and Independence Movements, Nationalism, Reform Movements, Imperialism and Emancipation.  These themes illustrate the changes that helped set in motion the increase in the power of the West in the world at large.

Task:  You are to choose one of the aforementioned themes of the 19^th Century and discuss TWO events or inventions that exemplify that theme.  You are to discuss TWO different events or inventions.  They must be related to the same theme and have had similar goals, but they do NOT have to be from the same area!  You should try to avoid events from the United States, but you may use ONE event from the U.S..  Papers should discuss the background information of each event, the course or activities of each event and its impact on World History.  Your introduction should include a thesis and examine the theme.  Your conclusion should establish a connection between the two by comparing and contrasting their achievements.

Riggio Current Events Research

The examination of current events is an important component of World History. It is beneficial to study the past in order to gain background information to help understand the present, but it is also important to look at modern issues and conflicts. During this project, you will take an in-depth look at a current issue that you find interesting or meaningful. After you select a topic, you will track that subject and look for newspaper or magazine articles to analyze.

Choose a topic of personal interest. It must be of national or international importance and broad enough that you will be able to find up-to-date information. Some suggestions include (But are NOT limited to)…

- International Conflict

- Revolution and Civil War

- Global Issues

- Medical Issues (cloning, new cancer treatments or Stem Cell Research)

- Environmental Issues

- Human Rights Abuses and Genocide

- Military Dictatorships

- Terrorism

Research: Find at least 5 relevant articles that are connected to your topic. Articles should come from reliable sources (Newspapers, news magazines, online news outlets).  All articles must be dated.  Depending upon your topic, you may be able to find two different articles about the same event, but written from different points of view. For example, CNN might offer a different interpretation of a suicide bombing in Iraq than would Al Jazeera. You may wish to include a political cartoon.
