History

Thread Prompt: It is argued that for the U.S. federal workforce to be more efficient and effective in facing the challenges of the 21st century that significant government reform must occur. Researchers argue that the reform should focus on modernizing a number of governance areas to include the civil service and contract workforce. Is it time to reform the federal civil service so that it resembles the private sector? Can the American public be confident of the fairness and integrity of a civil service that uses human resources practices like those typical of the private sector? Why/why not as it relates to both of the questions in this module. Discussion Board Forum Instructions You will complete the assigned readings and post a thread of 450-500 words answering the discussion board question assigned from the readings. Outside research should be used to answer In this course, Discussion Board Forums play an exceptionally important role. Consider this thread to be formal communications on the same level as those you would conduct with employers, clients, or colleagues in the professional, political, or academic world. As such, they must be free of grammatical errors, must be properly formatted in current APA style, and must consist of well-reasoned, contemplative, and substantive post, rather than mere ipse dixit. These threads must be adequately supported by citations of the sources or support for your ideas as well as any quoted materials. Remember that the art of communication is in many ways the lifeblood of effective political leadership. Everything you write—every paper, post, and email—creates or reinforces an impression of you. Begin to cultivate the communication skills of the statesman and stateswoman—the ability to logically and persuasively speak the truth with compassion and respect.

The Question(s):  Are there areas which you believe the federal government should be more powerful?  For example, should federal officials exercise more power to require greater uniformity in policy among the states?  Should the areas of health care, education, border security, voting, law enforcement in cities or other such topics be in the hands of the federal or state governments?   Why or why not?  Be sure to pick at least 2 topics to discuss.  You do not have to use the topics I mention.  You may come up with your own ideas of where the federal government should take the lead.  (Note:  Do not say the federal government should have no power without explaining thoroughly why.  Try to find at least 2 areas where they should have some responsibility.)

Directions for Component Three, Final Paper : Establish a thesis that demonstrates your subject’s significance to history in your introduction.  Begin the body of your essay by focusing on the subject’s early life (as far as possible given available materials). What events/conditions shaped this individual’s upbringing? How did this contribute to later behavior? Then trace the major events of the subject’s life. Conclude by describing the subject’s specific role in history. Reaffirm your thesis and demonstrate how the evidence provided in the body of your essay proved/supported this thesis. Final Paper Logistics: Papers must be at least four pages in length and double-spaced. Papers must have a title page with name, date, and course info (title page does not count towards page count). Papers must include the page numbers. Papers must have a separate introduction, body, and conclusion. Papers must include a Bibliography/Works Cited page and Chicago Manual footnote citations throughout the essay.

Papers should be written in your own words. Avoid long quotations. Plagiarism is unacceptable. Papers should be free of grammatical errors and misspelt words. Tips to Writing a Biographical Research Paper:  You can use internet sources for preliminary research, but you should depend upon books and articles for research materials. Published materials accessed through the internet do not count as internet sources. Take advantage of academic databases (such as JSTOR) that allows you to download complete articles from periodicals.  Avoid the Biographer’s Trap- most who spend time researching the life of a historical person begins to identify with the subject (this is a good thing). However, some develop a personal connection, falling in love with or growing to hate, their subject. Stay objective and avoid passing judgment. Your assignment is to trace the life of your subject and his/her role in the United States history, not to praise or condemn. Citation; You must use Chicago Manual footnote citations to document source information throughout your paper. You must also include a bibliography listing all sources used in your research.When to Use a Citation:
