What differences are there in the public in terms of political knowledge?

OPINION answers
1. Imagine that you are a representative in Congress. How would you go about measuring the public opinion of your district? Polls? Mailed surveys? Town halls? Some other method? Why are the methods you selected good choices?
2. Why aren’t Americans better informed about politics? What differences are there in the public in terms of political knowledge? In what ways might these differences in the amount of knowledge shape our political landscape?
3. How much civic education should there be in schools? How long should be and when should it happen? What should the goals be for civic education?
4. What kind of political materials show up in your social media? Do they always agree with your views, or do they differ? Or is the material you see largely non-political in nature?

it different from hearing? Name one listening problem that keeps you from
listening well and identify a possible solution.

Discuss and develop questions about foundational historical events that inform personal assumptions, beliefs, and values using evidence from primary and secondary sources.

Discuss and develop questions about foundational historical events that inform personal assumptions, beliefs, and values using evidence from primary and secondary sources.
Determine fundamental approaches to studying history in addressing questions about how events are shaped by their larger historical context
Investigate major developments in the progression of historical inquiry for informing critical questions related to historical narrative
Articulate the value of examining historical events for their impact on contemporary issues
Overview
Study the past if you would define the future.
—Confucius
Many people argue that we are products of our past. However, as the Chinese philosopher Confucius suggested, because the contemporary events taking place around us have histories, we can examine them to understand how and why the events came to be. By developing the skills needed to investigate those histories, we can uncover the historical roots of current events and learn from them. Researching, examining narratives, uncovering personal biases, and finding credible resources are some of those skills. We might not want to be historians in the future, but we should all understand how to look at things from a historical standpoint to better understand contemporary issues.
For this project, you will choose a historical event to explore from the Library Research Guide. These events fit into the topic areas of:
Inequality and human rights
Political revolutions
Climate change
Globalization
Directions
Read these directions and the rubric criteria and reach out to your instructor if you have any questions before you begin working on this project. Many of the steps below will require you to reference and utilize the work you have done in previous modules of this course. You may use the provided template to complete this project or choose not to use the template and submit a Word document instead.
Part 1: Creating a Research Question: The quality of research often depends on the quality of the question driving it. It is important to understand how personal opinions, perspectives, and historical sources all play a part in developing and examining a research question. Complete the following steps to discuss how you developed a strong research question about your chosen historical event.
Describe how your assumptions, beliefs, and values influenced your choice of topic.
How might your own perspectives and opinions impact the topic you chose and how you may approach studying it?
Discuss the significance of your historical research question in relation to your current event.
State your historical research question and explain the connection between your current event and your question.
Explain how you used sources to finalize your research question.
Identify the specific primary and secondary sources you used.
Discuss how evidence in these primary and secondary sources strengthened or challenged the focus of your question.
Part 2: Building Context to Address Questions: In this part of the project, you will examine the historical context related to your historical event. The context will be like snapshots that capture what was happening in history that affected the development of your current event.
Describe the context of your historical event that influenced your current event.
How does the context of your historical event help tell the story of what was happening at the time? How might this historical event connect or lead to your current event?
Describe a historical figure or group’s participation in your historical event.
This person or people must have directly participated in the event you identified as it was happening, not after it.
Use specific details from your primary and secondary sources to demonstrate how the person or people participated in the event.
Explain the historical figure or group’s motivation to participate in your historical event.
Consider why the person or people were motivated to get involved in the event.
Part 3: Examining How Bias Impacts Narrative: Narrative is how people tell stories based on their own assumptions, beliefs, and values. From a historical perspective, narratives influence who we focus on, what we focus on, and how we discuss events and issues in the past and present. Complete the following steps to explore how the stories about your current event and the historical events leading to it have been told.
Describe a narrative you identified while researching the history of your historical event.
There can be multiple narratives depending on your sources. Pick one or two that you feel have been the most influential.
Articulate how biased perspectives presented in primary and secondary sources influence what is known or unknown about history.
How do potentially biased sources influence knowledge of your historical event and current event?
Support your stance with examples from your primary and secondary sources.
Identify the perspectives that you think are missing from your historical event’s narrative.
Whose stories were not recorded? Whose voices were ignored or silenced?
Part 4: Connecting the Past With the Present: Consider how the work you have done to develop your research question and investigate it can be used to explain connections between the past and present. Complete the following steps to discuss the value of developing historical inquiry skills.
Explain how researching its historical roots helped improve your understanding of your current event.
How did examining your current event from a historical perspective help you better comprehend its origins?
Articulate how questioning your assumptions, beliefs, and values may benefit you as an individual.
Why is it valuable to be aware of your assumptions, beliefs, and values when encountering information in your personal, academic, and professional life?
Discuss how being a more historically informed citizen may help you understand contemporary issues.
Consider how having knowledge of history could influence how you approach current challenges or questions in the world.

What concerns should an employer have regarding compliance with the ADA?

Employer vaccine mandates are a “hot topic” in employment law. Many government entities and major corporations are requiring employees to be vaccinated or comply with rigorous testing requirements before returning to the workplace. This assignment will focus on legal considerations around this issue.

Please research the issue of vaccine mandates (starting with the resources provided in Week 2) and draft a 3-5 page substantive paper (plus a cover page and references page) addressing each of the following questions:

1. Can an employer mandate that employees are vaccinated for COVID-19?

2. What concerns should an employer have regarding compliance with the ADA?

3. What reasons can an employee raise for refusing the vaccine?

4. In your informed opinion, are vaccine mandates an overreach by employers? Do they violate an employee’s right to privacy? Why or why not? Note — I seek you INFORMED opinion; this is not an opinion paper. Your opinion must be supported by research and include citations to that supporting research.

** Please follow all applicable APA 7th edition formatting rules. You will find a sample paper and key citation rules in the Content section of the class site.
