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:
The topic that I chose to explore is Human Rights and Inequality: Tulsa Massacre. Explain what you already know about the chosen topic based on your personal history or experiences.
Based on my personal history I know that human rights and inequality are the rights humans are
given and how some are unfair to specific races. A human rights and inequality topic that I have experienced is the death of George Floyd, and then all the rallies and marches in my area after his death. Describe the beliefs, assumptions, and values you have related to the topic you chose.
A belief that I have on human rights and inequality is that everyone should be treated the same, no matter their race or ethnicity. An assumption that I have is that all policies are made for all races to be treated fairly but the biases of others interfere with the human rights and inequalities policies. Explain why this topic is relevant to current events or to modern society.
This topic is relevant to current events and modern society by promoting social injustice, protecting vulnerable populations, and providing a more inclusive world for everyone. It is also relevant to current events such as laws being implemented and addressing any human rights violations that have taken place recently. 1
