HIS 100 Module One Activity Template: Project Topic Exploration
You must pick a topic from the Research Topics Lists in the Library Research Guide. While it is a good idea
to choose your topic early, you may change it until the next module. Replace the bracketed text below
with your responses. Support your responses with specific details and examples.
Identify the topic you chose to explore:
[Founding of NATO /Creation of the UN]
Explain what you already know about the chosen topic based on your personal history or experiences.
[I choose these topics because I feel they have a relationship between them, sisters if you will. I
believe they are key factors in Putin’s war in Ukraine. Both were founded with intentions to
provide security to their members, I feel they may have pushed a couple of nations too far.]
Describe the beliefs, assumptions, and values you have related to the topic you chose.
[I believe both NATO and the UN are key players in world security. I also feel that they have
bullied Russia into fighting back. I feel that any death untimely is a crime against humanity.]
Explain why this topic is relevant to current events or to modern society.
[With the escalation of war between China and the US, these topics are relevant to modern
society. Could the current war in Ukraine been avoided if they (Ukraine) weren’t in the limbo of
joining NATO? Could the Creation and expansion of these two organizations be the cause of the
next world war?]
