HIS 200 Module One Short Response Question 1: In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so? The influx of unskilled Irish immigrants into New York City in the 1840s and early 1850s drives down wages for other workers at the low end of the salary ladder. In this scenario, this example is an example of economic lense. This has a lot to do with factors of industry and trade and how Irish immigrants drive down the wages In New York. Question 2: In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so? In 1908, Aram Pothier, an immigrant from Quebec, is elected governor of Rhode Island with staunch support from the Québécois community. This is a perfect example of a political lense. This has everything to do with the political system and how and why an immigrant from Quebec was chosen to be leader of Rhode Island. Also, since he had support from the Québécois community, it could also be a fine example of a social lense as well. Question 3: In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so? Irish immigrants and first-generation Irish Americans come to dominate the hierarchy of the American Catholic Church in the late nineteenth century. I think in this example, this would fit perfectly into the social lense. Irish immigrants were able to dominate the hierarchy of the Catholic Church which has a lot to do with factors of race and ethnicity and having the numbers and members to overthrow what was once known as normal for the Catholic Church. This shaped and influenced these events to occur and helped shape what the Catholic Church is today. Question 4: In the following scenario, which historical lens is being applied? Why do you think so? Immigration to the United States comes to be seen as a “rite of passage” for young Québécois women in the early twentieth century. This example is mostly seen from a social lens but could also be seen as a political lense. Political figures push freedom when it comes to America and to be accepted in America is important and requires individuals not from our country to jump through hoops to be a part of our country. Also, from a social lense, you could ask why is this only perceived as a rite of passage to young woman and not men? This could be seen as social I believe as well. Question 5: If you had to write a paper on the Lincoln assassination, what would you like to know more about? Create three research questions that would be appropriate for a historical analysis essay, keeping in mind the characteristics of a critical research question. The three questions can be related, or they can address various aspects of the topic.
Three important questions that I think are important and that I think need to be answered goes as follows: 1. Why did John Wilkes Booth choose Lincoln as his target? 2. What impact did Abraham Lincoln’s assassination effect the U.S. as a Nation? 3. How was John Wilkes able to access Abraham Lincoln? Question 6: If you had to write a paper on Title IX, what would you like to know more about? Create three research questions that would be appropriate for a historical analysis essay, keeping in mind the characteristics of a critical research question. The three questions can be related, or they can address different aspects of the topic. 1. How did Title IX come to be associated with athletic programs? 2. What was the significance of the Franklin v. Gwinnett County Public Schools Case of 1992? 3. What are some of the problems regarding the interpretation and implementation of Title IX? Question 7: Write a research question that addresses the Irish immigrant experience through the lens of political history. What political party did the Irish Immigrants lean towards more compared to now? Question 8: Write a research question that addresses the Irish immigrant experience through the lens of economic history. Why did the Irish immigrants work for much lower pay compared to the American people?
