Research and Paper Topic
For this writing assignment you will connect current events to themes of modern world history.
You will visit the site for the radio program The World where you will choose at least 4 stories.
The website for The World includes a useful section on categories to help you group stories
together. The link is also provided in the Depot for Exams and Assignments module. Listen
carefully to the stories (usually you can read the transcript as well) and take notes. The stories
you choose must be from 2024!
You must choose stories that are linked by a topic or theme. You can focus on one country or
multiple countries. There are many interesting topics you could choose! Here are just a few
examples:
Environmental issues
Sport and society
Women’s issues
Energy
Migration issues
Native/indigenous communities
Music and culture
War and Peace
How to structure your paper:
1. Write an introduction where you introduce the topic and explain why you chose it.
2. Write at least three organized paragraphs. Your paragraphs could cover your stories or
they could follow some other pattern of organization.
3. Write a concluding paragraph where you bring everything together and explain the main
things you learned in from your research. How does your topic relate to a theme of
world history we have covered (or will cover) in class?
4. Works cited: List the titles of the stories you used and the date of broadcast. For
example: “’Former chief of staff in Israeli air force says there is no endgame in Gaza,” by
Marco Werman, The World, April 11, 2024.
5. Remember only to use sources from the radio program The World.
6. Submit your paper on Canvas! See the link in the Depot of Exams and Assignments
module.

Your final research project requirements are a paper 4 pages in length; the cover page and reference page are not included in the page count, but are still included using APA formatting.
Please be sure to include 4 full pages of text!
We are using APA formatting for this paper.
Be sure to include at least the 2 primary and 2 secondary sources you had approved in week 2. Your thesis statement should be included from week 4. Remember, you do not need to include any wording about who your audience is, rather, just focus the paper with needed elements to communicate your topic to them.

QUESTION: How did the crime/trial reflect the notion of what was criminal in that period and what does it tell you about the culture at that time in US history? You will want to give a brief overview of the trial or crime (depending on your focus), but most of your paper will be analysis and contextualization of the primary source in the secondary sources. This is a 1500-word-maximum research paper. This paper is analytical, not descriptive. Therefore, do not give a lengthy account of the crime or the trial, rather address this main question. 
In thinking about the main question, bear in mind these smaller questions: How did this crime connect to larger society and other events at that time? Was this an isolated incident or connected to much larger events? What sectors of society did it involve? How was the crime either exemplar or peculiar to the changes in understandings of what was criminal and what was legal at the time?
You must have a thesis statement in your introduction paragraph (a single sentence that sums up the main argument/point of your paper and provides an answer to your main research question. Do NOT rephrase the question; rather give the answer!) Each paragraph must start with an analytic topic sentence that connects back to and supports your thesis.
FORMATTING: It MUST be an MS Word file (.doc or .docx) or a PDF file available on ALL John Jay computers. 1 Inch Margins all-around. 12 Pt Times New Roman font. Double-spaced. Regular indentations on each paragraph. Include page numbers. (maximum 1500 words, excluding footnotes, your name and title, etc, this word limit is strictly enforced).
CITATIONS: Citation format for this paper is Chicago Style.  You must cite ALL information that you take from them, not just quotations. See the Citations help sheet on Blackboard in the Week 10 section.
Use DRAFT, ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND TRIAL SUMMARY TO help u with the final paper, all the quotes i have must be used in the final.

I have attached the reading to answer the following 
Discuss Congress’s plan for Reconstruction, and briefly describe what Congress hoped to achieve.  Evaluate the successes and failures of the Radical Republican administration during the period of Reconstruction. 
Respond to the question with an original contribution, and respond to two other student answers with a meaningful and thoughtful response.  DO NOT simply say “I agree” or “Great answer.”  For full credit, you must critique or suplement their answer.

The prompt for this hisory class essay is “How did the end of the cold war and the process of decolonization impact the country of Cambodia?” .

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.
