How did that relationship turn into one of conflict and how did Iraq go from being an ally to a number one target in the region? Why did the U.S. invade Iraq in March of 2003?

Assignment Question

This is the prompt: The story of the Iraq War is, and probably will forever be, enveloped in a single one-word question: Why? President Bush and the handful of advisors with whom he conceived and launched this war explained their motives in a contradictory series of statements that changed as the war proceeded. Each had a particular set of motives, some declared and others left unsaid. The fact that there is so much debate and uncertainty about these motives makes the Iraq War unique in American history. All of the questions below must be addressed in your paper.

Address the relationship between Iraq and the United States prior to 9-11. How did that relationship turn into one of conflict and how did Iraq go from being an ally to a number one target in the region? Why did the U.S. invade Iraq in March of 2003? What seems to be the consensus in your research and ultimate reasoning? Secondarily, how did the media approach the claims of the Bush administration for the invasion itself? Were they opposed to the war or supportive of it? Provide examples and textual support. Ultimately, what was the outcome of this conflict, and were the aims of the U.S. in the region successful? What has come of the destabilization of Iraq and does it ultimately align with or justify involvement in the region following 9-11 in your eyes?

Also, I started the whole process of choosing a thesis and making the outline: Thesis: The Iraq War was a consequence of flawed intelligence, geopolitical miscalculations, and a failure to explore diplomatic alternatives, as evidenced by the United States’ use of violence against civilians. I. Younger Generation don’t vote anymore A. President Bush’s Disapproval 1. Online Activism 2. No long-term impact assessment II. Global Humanitarian Norms A. U.S. use of violence 1. Terrorizing violence 2. Counterinsurgency violence B. Violation of humanitarian norms 1. Perceive potential gains 2. Losses remain low C. Social scientists III. Protest events A. Diversity from crowd B. Government and opposition IV. Mortality rates A. Methodology difficulties B. Avoidable deaths attributed to the invasion V. War-related violence A. Human consequences B. Direct civilian’s deaths Obs: He told me this after seeing my thesis “Along with the civilian issue I would also address the fact that none of the claimed WMDs were found”. So please add that. And I need 5 pages, but the works cited page doesn’t count.

Write one shorter research paper with one of the literary works from the semester as your central focus.

Assignment Question

You will be required to write one shorter research paper with one of the literary works from the semester as your central focus. The paper must be 1,500-2,000 words (six to eight pages) in length and include at least two outside sources (the text itself does not count as one of these sources). Your paper should analyze the literary work using a clear and specific critical lens. For example, you could analyze the text using a cultural or historical lens, focusing on how the literary work reflects the cultural/historical society that it represents. Another option would be to analyze the text through a gender focused or feminist reading, discussing how gender roles are represented in the text. Yet another option would be a literary analysis, looking at how a specific theme or style in the work of literature is developed through the storytelling choices of the author(s). Your outside sources should clearly and specifically support your topic and your thesis.

The cause of the disease (typically a pathogen, although you may also choose a genetic disease).

The prevalence of the disease (How many people are affected by the disease). The range of the disease (How is this disease distributed worldwide).

The severity of the disease (How “bad” is the disease? Is it fatal? How many people who catch the disease actually die of this disease?) Any other interesting facts about the disease.

The basic biology of the pathogen including at least the following: An illustration, animation or photograph of the pathogen.

An illustration, animation or photograph of the appearance of any diseased organ or body part (However, you may not show any illustration of a sexual organ.) The classification of the pathogen. The typical life-cycle of the pathogen.

For every fact, group of facts or illustrations that you find on the web, you must provide a proper citation with the web address of the site where you found that information.

 Collect basic information that you need for your presentation.

 For each slide that you create, copy the URL into the notes section under the slide.

 For your own reference, you may copy and paste the information into the notes section as long as you copy the URL as well and as long as you select only a part of that information for the bullets on the actual slide.
