Analysis Of My Evidence: The Stalemated Seventies

In his article “College Students Need to Toughen Up, Quit Their Grade Whining”, Robert Schlesingner addresses the emerging issue of grade inflation, and more specifically, the greater sense of entitlement that seems to prevail in the modern scholastic realm. Mr. Schlesingner begins his address by presenting his background and what

In the debate between sitting president Jimmy Carter and Republican challenger Ronald Reagan, Reagan's arguments and explanations best match the available evidence. Carter claims his policies had reduced the inflation rate by 10 percent in less than a year, and points to the 9 million jobs he had provided to reduce unemployment rates. Reagan refutes this by mentioning that while Carter may have decreased the inflation rate from the beginning of the year, the inflation rate increased from 4.4 percent at the start of his presidency to almost 12 percent now. A graph provided by Edgenuity proves this to be true, therefore current evidence supports Reagan's claim. Reagan also mentions the 8 million people unemployed at the time of the debate, and

In my opinion, the biggest high point I had during the class was making a ninety six on one of my final drafts. The paper where we had to write about world events during our lifetime is the one that I scored a ninety-six. It was the highest grade I had throughout the entire year and one of very few happy moments I had while taking the class. Receiving a high “A” on a paper was very relieving, because it was proof that all of my hard work and stress was being rewarded. It is important to have high points and to recognize the high points in order to achieve

I think it is important to follow directions because if people didn’t follow directions we would have a lot of CHAOS in our world!!! The reason why we would have chaos is because kids would do drugs, have kids at REALLY young ages and there would probably be more

All throughout my education I have put forth my best effort, though it did not come easy. I learned early on in school that good grades do not come with little effort; you must put in the time and energy for decent grades because academic success is not a gift. It is a reflection of hard work and perseverance. I have been rewarded for my hard work with a 4.0 GPA and the respectable eleventh spot in my class rank.

The 1960’s The 1960’s were a time of radical change. It was a decade where people began to question authority, and time of confrontation. The decade's radicalism began with the assassination of John F. Kennedy in November of 1963. This event changed the country's idealistic views, and started an upheaval of

Looking back at Dual-Credit American history, it was the research papers that saved my grade. Learning from my mistakes I discovered that self-sufficiency was not the only attribute that I would require for Dual-Credit American History. I had made it through every class before putting in the work by myself or in small groups. Rarely ever taking advantage of additional help form the teacher. My work that I did on my own was sufficient, why would I need additional help? It was with the first test on the second day of testing that I realized this would have to change.

“War what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!” This message continually echoed among the American public during the 1970s, emphasizing its voice of protest against the Vietnam War. In contrast with the rise of counterculture in the 1960s, the 1970s saw the rise of conservatism; the desire to revert back to America’s traditional social and religious values. During this time Americans endured a loss of confidence from an unstable economy, an energy crisis, and ongoing action in Vietnam, and Americans thought that conservatism would provide stability. In the 1970s, Americans saw the rise of Motown in the music industry, which fit the mold of conservatism. Protest music became popular as a response to the Vietnam War, attracting Vietnam veterans as well as the younger

Ronald Regan, the 40th president of the United States, displayed his support for Barry Goldwater. Regan was a democrat previous of his campaign for Barry Goldwater. He also claims that the Democratic Party “left” him. Freedom can be defined in many words, and Regan defined it as, “the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny.” He is saying that if Goldwater was elected then he would give this right back to the American People. Regan claims that the government was taking millions of dollars in taxes, but spends in in under a day. The country’s debt is increasing more than it has ever in the past, and the people aren’t aware how this is happening. People don’t know what goes on within the government, and the public isn’t allowed to know everything that the government is ding either. The government should be more transparent with the people since the

One of the first comparisons going through your mind when talking about this year's election and the election from 1976 is the difference between both candidate’s point margin. The difference between the candidates was 51 points with Jimmy Carter becoming our president, and along with this year’s election the point difference was 51 as well with Donald Trump being our president. In the year of 1976 the two main candidates were Jimmy Carter, who was a Democrat and Gerald Ford who was a republican. If you put the maps side by side you can obviously see the difference in states that were either voted for democrat or republican between the two elections. A major difference that I see is that with the election of 1976 is that the country almost

Overall, I felt Nixon had a more solid argument. Since he used more hard evidence. Although that did not affect the outcome of the election as Kennedy still won the election. Kennedy utilized mostly general statistics to convey his opinions, for example when he said, “I believe we should have an educational system second to none.” I believe during a presidential speech of this kind word like “I know” would have been more efficient than “I think” statements.

1960’s Term Paper The 1960’s impacted the United States in profound ways. With the seventy million baby boomers growing into their teens, they brought with them change that is still evolving in our society today. The sixties was a time where American culture moved from being conservative to new and insightful ways of thinking. With these changes, it brought a new counter culture that would be known as the hippie culture. The hippies led way into a new sexual revolution that would break the old fashioned boundaries. The hippies also ushered in a new era where drugs became popular to a large public as well as within their own culture. Drugs were becoming a part of American culture, as well as new scientific research, into the benefits

First and foremost, I think it is a wonderful idea to gain the perspective of your students and hear how each students experience was throughout the essay process. The most challenging aspect of writing this essay is writing about something you are not interested in writing about. I anticipate getting a good passing grade in this class, because I do believe I deserve it. I do a lot of drafting before I actually write the essay. Peer Mark definitely helped me with my own writing by both reviewing their writing and hearing the suggestions from my classmates. There was only one issue I had using Peer Mark. The icon was deceiving and unclear on where I needed to insert a comma. The icon that inserts a comment is so big that it looks like the error

As I write this paper, I reflect on my experience in Early American History and how my group’s final project went. Overall, the class was significantly more difficult than I first thought it would be. Going into the class I originally assumed this would be a pretty simple GEP with minimal effort required to get an A in the class. Those assumptions were dispelled fairly quickly when I arrived at the first class. The teacher was going over the syllabus for the class and explaining the weekly assignments we would have. We were required to cover certain sections of a chapter based on the topic we chose to cover throughout the entirety of the course. We were to complete this every week and discuss what we had discovered in class. We would also have to write two essays and complete several mandatory readings and podcasts. To top all of this off, we would have to complete a final project that includes another essay. But the one thing that turned out to be the hardest task of the class was not any of these assignments, but was the participation grade.
