1940-1970: Historical Research

Photograph Three depicts several messages about teenagers in the 1940s and 1950s. First, it comments on the fashion choices of teens from these decades. In the photo, the females are all wearing a shirt or blouse, a sweater, and a skirt. The males are wearing a collared shirt with a sweater and dark pants. Nearly all of the people in the picture are wearing white socks, which may mean that there weren’t a lot of options for clothing color in these decades. Also, the girls have their hair cut at shoulder length worn in similar hairstyles, and the boys have their hair neatly combed. In addition to fashion trends, the viewer can see that magazines were a key source of information for teenagers. There is a wall behind the counter holding several

Final Exam: Between the beginning of World War II and the present decade, the United States underwent significant reform through key legislative acts, which addressed race relations, poverty, and gender. Explain these different categories of reform, their early proponents, their evolution into legislation, and whether or not this legislation truly addressed the issues.

There are many discontinuities and continuities between 1930-1950 and 1950-1980 so this is very difficult to determine to whether continuities or discontinuities are more important between these periods. Noting that one might easily argue otherwise, I would like to claim that the discontinuities outweigh the continuities between these two periods for several reasons. First of all, despite some similarities in the protectionism, the DP government followed a more agriculture-oriented and liberal economic policy than that of the RPP governments of 1930s. On the other hand, although the main economic policy followed in 1930s governments and governments between 1960-1980 was import substituting industrialization, while the former one followed the

The research that I chose to elaborate my topic on is the Roe v. Wade court case which is about abortion. The case history is about a woman who was single and pregnant; she decided to bring a stimulating challenge suit to the constitution of Texas laws. The laws that Texas made were given to prohibit mothers from aborting children because it was a crime. They could not do it without medical advice for the reason that it was to save the life of the unborn child. As I begin to go into detail about the court case. First Dr. Hallford, a medical doctor who faced criminal prosecution for violating the state abortion law. Second, you have the Does. They are a married couple with no children who were against Jane Roe and her decisions. Lastly, you have District Attorney Wade. Roe and Hallford had a portion of controversies and declaratory that was warranted. The court ruled a decision relief that was not warranted and the Does criticism was not justiciable. This is a brief synopsis of what the court case will expand on later on in the research paper. I will be utilizing reviews to test what male and female dispositions were towards fetus removal and how they feel about it. The study will extremely differ and I will be getting a broad gender preference perspective of the subject that I decided to do the review on. It will all tie once again into the Roe v. Wade court case. As you are perusing my examination paper; the researcher made an investigation on Chowan University

During the past years of the 1900s many factors have happened that resulted in the change of the United States history and future. It changed the everyday lives of Americans of how they survived and supported themselves and their family, in both positive and negative ways that affected them daily. For instance, the political affairs of the government and the election of candidates for certain parties like democratic or republican can affect the history of the country, on how the government or Congress passed laws that were of equal protection to its people and how it helps benefit both civilians and the nation itself. On social occasions this could affect the United States

From 1940 to 1980 there were many significant events that shaped America. Events in history are not defined by how they actually happened but how they were interpreted. Be it by the people of that land or other lands looking in. In what ways do people receive the important news? News comes through media outlets such as radio, newspaper and television. Americans especially tend to take things at face value. “This information must be true, I read it in a newspaper.” In 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and in the coming weeks thanks to newspaper, men and underage boys were lined up in a fury ready to serve their country and the United States declares war on Japan. In the same year Hitler declares war on the United States. The United States drops the Atomic bomb and Japan surrenders.

This study will investigate the question: Did the passage of the Title IX Legislation in 1972 lead to more women going to college? The main focus of my investigation will begin during the year of 1972, to analyze if the Title IX did lead more women going to college. The first source I have selected for my detailed analysis is “The Impact of the Title IX.” Barbara Winslow produced this source during the year of 2009, to explain the major impact that the Title IX had on women. This source is relevant to my specific investigation, because it focuses on keypoint information on the Title IX and primarily focuses on the effect it had. This source explains how the Title IX impacted women back then, which has relevance to my question because this

The article I chose was about “a study shows that the stress from an historic immigration raid is associated with Latina mothers delivering babies with lower birth weights, and sometimes early” (University of Michigan, 2017). It was found that a historic immigration raid has brought on early and low birth rates amongst the Latino mother community due to stress. This article used great statistical results, because they gave results comparable to before and after the raid (2008), and related it to today’s current events (2016/2017). The article highlights the current stressors of deportation and discrimination fears that the Presidential election brought about to the entire United States, which makes this study very relevant. The researchers conducted a quasi-experimental design, examining ethnicity-specific patterns in birth outcomes before and after the Postville raid. They “analyzed Iowa birth-certificate data to compare risk of term and preterm low birth weight (LBW), by ethnicity and nativity, in the 37 weeks following the raid to the same 37-week period the previous year (n = 52 344)” (Novak, Geronimus, & Martinez-Cardoso, 2016). The researchers “obtained all birth certificate data from 2006-10, and their

Throughout my process of researching information, I had very little problems on this specific task. I had a small struggle on finding out, about Thurgood Marshall’s open and factual opinions on some world events that affected him personally. There weren’t enough interviews he took part in for me to go really into details about him, but there were enough information on how he decreased the popularity of discrimination in the

I started my project planning on writing about how each ethnicity and social background was affected by the Jim Crow Laws. This was my plan and this was what I was looking into when I did my original set of research and found that there is not a lot of secondary sources on my original focus for the

Thesis The jazz age in the 1920s was an important cultural movement inspired by African American drum beats and exchanged throughout the world through music and dance. Jazz Age Jazz music and dance was a way to cheer people up from the devastating loses of World War 1. Jazz music was born in New Orleans, and spread throughout the United States and Europe in the 1920s. Jazz captured many different audiences and brought diverse cultures together.

As I began the process into writing my research paper on the influence that the NAACo had on the civil rights movement and towards racial equality, I was able to comprehend the skills and knowledge needed in order to complete it. This process, which involves the creation of a research question, finding sources, evaluating them, and completing an analysis has allowed me to gain an understanding of the limitations and challenges facing the historian. I was also able to obtain certain information and skills that will become beneficial for me in further research paper, as well as writing overall. Before this paper I had never used databases or analyzed sources so extensively; which eventually led to many successes and limitations while writing.

The later readings focus on the famous writings of America. With writing, such as William Faulkner towards the end it puts the focus more on the importance of these writings in America’s History. These writings are related to the American history and the events in its history. All the writers in this anthology are a major force in history and each of their writings relate to different time periods and events during their time. For example, Daniela Gioseffi focuses her writing “The Exotic Enemy” on the issues of race and segregation in America during the 1940’s. Other works focus on ethnicity, race, slavery, and politics. Each work serves a purpose in American history and shows the importance of those events.

Thesis: Gender norms for U.S. couples in 1919 was completely different and women status was significantly higher compared to what they had been during the Victorian Era, according to the movie “Why Change Your Wife?”. Topic sentence #1: In fact, women status had increased overtime during 1800s mainly due to the increase of women’s labor force participation rate, which had remarkably influenced gender norms within U.S. families in the early 20 century; instead of obeying their husbands and having limited rights during the Victorian Era, women had gotten more rights to make decisions in 1919. Supporting evidence in context #1: The movie “Why Change Your Wife?” (1920) portrays that women were able to make more choices/decisions in the marriage

For years, many scholars have provided many discussions over the topic of gender and sexuality. However, one needs to ask themselves: Are these two topics, gender and sexuality, useful as a category for historical analysis? The articles written by both Joan W. Scott and Afsaneh Najmabadi, answer such a question. By critically examining and assessing their two article, can the usefulness of gender and sexuality as a category for historical analysis be proven.
