Assignment 3: America as a Superpower
For History 105:Dr. Stansburys classes(7 pages here)
Due Week 9 and worth 120 points. The formal deadline is on Monday morning at 9am Eastern Time; this is the next day after Week 9 ends.Watch announcements, emails, and postings for exact dates and any holiday notes that sometimes arise.
BACKGROUND FOR THE PAPER:This is a 5-paragraph paper based on research in designated sources.It is a position paper in which you support a thesis statement by reason and historical examples.By the mid-20th century, the United States had become the dominant force in international relations. Some have argued that the United States military functions as the worlds police. This assignment covers the manner in which this shift occurred and the consequences the United States faces as a result of its status as policeman of the world. One can identify early steps this direction well before World War II, but in this paper focus on the period from 1950 to the present. The American international policing role developed because of the Cold War, but now terrorists or any power having or trying to get weapons of mass destruction (WMD) are the potential targets of such a role.Your paper will use specific examplestwo from the Cold War years (roughly 1950-1990) and two from the past three decades (1991-2019). Examine the two statements below and drawing from provided sources and the universitys online library, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position. [Dont use this background paragraph in your paper.]
NOTE:The word policing here has nothing to do with traditional law enforcement agencies. It is more about trying to manage parts of the globeusually by use of military force or the threat of it.The aim of this management may be to maintain stability, remove threats of rogue forces or terrorists or weapons, prevent the expansion of autocratic rule, protect a fledgling democracy, etc.[continued on next page]
Choose one of these thesis statements as your position (make it the last sentence of your introductory paragraph):
THESIS STATEMENT 1:By examples from different decades since 1950, it is clear that the international policing role and strategy of the United States was once essential, but should now be discarded as ineffective and counterproductive.
THESIS STATEMENT 2:By examples from different decades since 1950, it is clear that the international policing role and strategy of the United States during the Cold War has become even more necessary in this period of terrorism and instability.
Whichever thesis statement you choose, plan to make that thesis statement the last sentence in your introductory paragraph.The general subject is Americas international policing role as a superpower for the last 70-plus years.You may modify the wording slightly to fit more precisely the position you wish to take.This is NOT a simple statement of a topic; it is a statement of a position you are taking about that topic.p.s.Valid arguments and A papers can be made with either thesis.So, you choose the one you think is the stronger position.
In your paper, use specific examplestwo from the Cold War years (roughly 1950-1990) and two from post Cold War years (the past three decades, roughly 1991-2019). After giving general consideration to your readings and your research, select one of the positions above as your positionyour thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.) Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues with this FOUR-PART organization (see Template also):
Part Oneone paragraph.INTRODUCTION AND THESIS STATEMENT.The position you choose will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph; make it the last sentence of the paragraph.
Part Twotwo paragraphs normally.FOUR EXAMPLES.To support your thesis, use four specific examples, two from the Cold War years (1950-1990) and two from the (1991-2019).The examples should be specific and clearly support your thesis.In these paragraphs one generally must have in-text citations to support your specific examples and to show where the information was found.Make the examples SPECIFIC.The FORMAT SAMPLE paper can also help on this part.
Part Threeone paragraph normally. DEALING WITH THE OPPOSING VIEW. The opposing view is the thesis statement you did NOT choose. Identify that opposing view and explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours. No new research needed; just one paragraph of critical thinking suggesting why your thesis/position is stronger than a different view.Approach it this way:You adopted a thesis statement. The opposing view is the thesis statement you did NOT adopt. You might start this paragraph by saying Some may disagree with my thesis and argue that——- .THENyou spend 3 to 5 sentences giving a reasoned argument why your thesis is stronger than the opposing view.
Part Fourone paragraph:LEGACY TODAY AND CONCLUSION:Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact issues in your workplace or desired profession? This might be unclear at first since it is foreign policy. (But, super-power status does inevitably provide advantages in a global economy.) This might be easy if you work in cyber security, criminal justice, IT, etc.You can consider the legal impact of terrorism on the justice system, privacy issues, etc.Even a business must now plan accordingly. Every profession now must have security safeguards, have emergency incident preparations, plan what to do with data, etc.A few comments on these things for your professionand some comments on how this impacts our lives in general.The FORMAT SAMPLE PAPER also has good suggestions for this part.
After the fourth part concluding the paper, be sure you have the numbered list of sources at the end.And be sure each source listed is also used and cited clearly in the body of the paper.The FORMAT SAMPLE paper illustrates this.
