• The body of your essay should thoroughly analyze your chosen examples and relate them to the overall goals of the movement.
• Your conclusion should summarize the main points of your essay and include a thoughtful reflection on your informed views of the impact of the movement, including its successes as well as shortcomings.

Also remember to reflect to the reading and cite them.

3-4 pages, double-spaced, 1” margins, 12pt Times New Roman font.

In order to complete this activity, you use the Internet to locate campaign videos on Youtube (Links to an external site.), the Internet Archive (Links to an external site.), or other websites. [A particularly good Youtube playlist can be found here (Links to an external site.).]

Instructions:

1. Select one election from each decade. [In other words, select one election from the 1950s, one from the 1960s, one from the 1970s, etc.]
2. For each election that you’ve selected, please watch four (4) campaign commercials – two commercials from the Democratic candidate and two commercials from the Republican candidate.
3. Write an analysis in which you describe the similarities and differences that you see in these commercials over time. Although discussing issues of style (length, etc.) is OK, please make sure your analysis goes beyond mere issues of style. Your analysis should make reference to specific things that occur in the ads, and a thematic organization is preferable to a chronological one.

Review the criteria for reliable/credible sources in Chapter 15: “Analyzing, Synthesizing, and Evaluating Sources” (437-51) and watch the following YouTube video on website credibility (I know it is old, but it is still good): “How to Evaluate Information on the Web” by Wolfgram Library: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4nmiJLhB5c

Let’s pretend I am writing an A2 paper about vaccinating children. I have the found the following sources, but I am not sure if they are credible or not. Look at each of my sources, and tell me why each is credible or not. Be sure to back your opinions up with reasons that are given in our text book and common reasoning. Focus on the credibility of the source itself (writer, publisher, etc.) and not your personal bias on the topic. Here are the source links:

1. “Fact or Fiction?: Vaccines Are Dangerous” by Dina Fine Maron https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-vaccines-are-dangerous/
2. “Vaccinations: Know the Risks and Failures” https://www.nvic.org/vaccines-and-diseases/Vaccinations–Know-the-risks-and-failures-.aspx

Attacks on our national infrastructure are already happening. And the expectation is that they will continue to increase at an accelerated rate. For this week’s discussion, we’ll cover threats to our nation’s pipelines. To get started, read this article:

https://www.eenews.net/stories/1060054924

After reading the article, start a discussion thread and discuss how the types of threats discussed in the article could impact our economy, and how implementing Commonality (as discussed in chapter 5) could help mitigate these threats.

You must do this following:

1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, discuss how the types of threats discussed in the article referenced above could impact our economy, and how implementing Diversity and Commonality (as discussed in chapters 4 and 5) could help mitigate these threats.

2) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads in 3 different days. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread.

ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just “I agree.”)
