Essay Prompt: How did the end of the cold war and the process of decolonization impact the country of Cambodia? 
Thesis: The aftermath of the Cold War, combined with Cambodia’s struggles after decolonization and the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime, have left a lasting mark on the country. This has led to ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises, showing how outside influences, economic difficulties, and changes in global politics have all played a role in shaping Cambodia’s journey towards stability.
Claim #1: The end of the cold war and the ideologies attached to it left a political vacuum in Cambodia that led to civil unrest still experienced in today’s world. 
Evidence #1:
Evidence #1:  “More than thirty years after an estimated two million people died at the hands of Pol Pot’s regime of Democratic Kampuchea, trials of senior Khmer Rouge leaders and those most responsible for the deaths are at last taking place in Cambodia.”
According to renowned historian and author Margo Picken, social injustice and humanitarian crisis has been something that has negatively affected Cambodias for many years  
Claim #2: Decolonization brought economic challenges to cambodia as newly independent nations inherited colonial-era economic systems that were often exploitative and unequal
Evidence #2: 
Evidence #2:
Claim #3: The fall of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979, combined with the end of Cold War support, exacerbated Cambodia’s humanitarian crisis.
Evidence #3: 
Evidence #3: 
Claim #4 (Optional): The actions put in place by outside countries had a negative effect on Cambodia as they tried to maintain control over the country. The actions taken by outside countries have led to the crisis state that Cambodia is in today. 
Evidence #4: “In the Paris Peace Agreements, we witnessed the triumph of diplomacy over the ravages of war, laying a cornerstone for peace that echoes through generations.”
Shows how outside influence tried to make peace agreements on behalf of cambodia that resulted in backfire
Evidence #4:

How to Analyze a Primary Source
When you analyze a primary source, you are undertaking the most important job of the historian. There is no better way to understand events in the past than by examining the sources–whether journals, newspaper articles, letters, court case records, novels, artworks, music or autobiographies–that people from that period left behind.
Each historian, including you, will approach a source with a different set of experiences and skills, and will therefore interpret the document differently. Remember that there is no one right interpretation. However, if you do not do a careful and thorough job, you might arrive at a wrong interpretation.
In order to analyze a primary source, you need information about two things: the document itself, and the era from which it comes. You can base your information about the time period on the readings you do in class and on lectures. On your own you need to think about the document itself. The following questions may be helpful to you as you begin to analyze the sources:
1. Look at the physical nature of your source. This is particularly important and powerful if you are dealing with an original source (i.e., an actual old letter, rather than a transcribed and published version of the same letter). What can you learn from the form of the source? (Was it written on fancy paper in elegant handwriting, or on scrap-paper, scribbled in pencil?) What does this tell you?
2. Think about the purpose of the source. What was the author’s message or argument? What was he/she trying to get across? Is the message explicit, or are there implicit messages as well?
3. How does the author try to get the message across? What methods does he/she use?
4. What do you know about the author? Race, sex, class, occupation, religion, age, region, political beliefs? Does any of this matter? How?
5. Who constituted the intended audience? Was this source meant for one person’s eyes, or for the public? How does that affect the source?
6. What can a careful reading of the text (even if it is an object) tell you? How does the language work? What are the important metaphors or symbols? What can the author’s choice of words tell you? What about the silences–what does the author choose NOT to talk about?
Now you can evaluate the source as historical evidence.
1. Is it prescriiptive–telling you what people thought should happen–or descriiptive–telling you what people thought did happen?
2. Does it describe ideology and/or behavior?
3. Does it tell you about the beliefs/actions of the elite, or of “ordinary” people? From whose perspective?
4. What historical questions can you answer using this source? What are the benefits of using this kind of source?
5. What questions can this source NOT help you answer? What are the limitations of this type of source?
6. If we have read other historians’ interpretations of this source or sources like this one, how does your analysis fit with theirs? In your opinion, does this source support or challenge their argument?

This assignment was supposed to be a powerpoint presentation. With saying this, we have gotten permission from the teacher to write everything we were going to say in the in class    presentation on a Microsoft word doc instead. In other words, we basically have to write everything we were going to say in this presentation on the word file doc. This assignment includes what the movie is about. Talk about the genre of the movie , a description of the characters , acting , talk about social/cultural significance in Iran, compare the movie with another movie of the same genre ,talk about different types of cut scenes (cinematography). 
I attached a powerpoint which is a bit of a start to this assignment as it contains some information regarding this movie that you can use.
