Overview Of The Vietnam War: Political Science
The topic that I chose is the Vietnam War, please review the instructions that I will attach in this prompt. Also, make sure that the sources are legit and are not regular online sources such as Wikipedia. I will also attach a writing guide to show what the professor likes and does not like.
Students are required to submit a research PAPER on a significant political event that shaped modern history, focusing especially on the political ideas that guided the main actors involved in the event. In the second week, during class, students will randomly select a particular ideology. Students will then identify the most significant historical event (military action, government policy, law, etc.) that, in her or his view, is most closely associated with that particular ideology. In the thesis, the student should clearly evaluate the impact of the event and the political ideology contributing to that event. In the body of the essay, students should first provide an overview of the historical event, focusing on the details of the incident and their immediate impact. (Please do NOT provide a long historical background of the event. Focus instead on the event itself and the contemporary historical conditions in which the event took place.) Then the student should spend several pages explaining the political ideology and showing in detail how these ideas and values relate to or are reflected in the event. Finally, the student should return to the thesis and, in the conclusion, spend several pages evaluating the significance of the event not just in terms of its immediate impact but also in its more general influence on the development of modern politics. Students should meet with the instructor if they are having any difficulties conducting research, developing a thesis or formulating a conclusion for the paper.
PAPER
STUDENTS MAY NOT USE ANY GENERAL INTERNET SITES AS RESOURCES FOR THE PAPER (Wikipedia, History.com, Biography.com, etc.) Instead, students should rely on primary sources—the actors' own writings, speeches, letters, memoirs, etc.—and secondary sources including academic journal articles and books. The essays, worth the remaining 25% of the total grade, must be between four and six pages in length, double-spaced and typed (with normal margins, fonts, etc.). Page length does NOT include title, notes, bibliography, appendices and so on. The paper is due Thursday, APRIL 19TH. LATE PAPERS ARE NOT ACCEPTED. Students must use an acceptable form of documentation for their research papers (MLA, Turabian, etc.) A brief writing guide is provided at the end of the syllabus. Students who clearly fail to follow the guide or have multiple common errors on their written work will automatically have a full letter grade deducted from their papers.
