Instructions: Use the prompt below & write a brief (approx. 2-3 pg., double
spaced) final essay. Your argument should use the prompt & be supported with
material from the texts, lectures, etc. This is your opportunity to show how well
you can synthesize information into a coherent, convincing argument & apply
class concepts like
Imagined Community &
Tipping Point. The prompt allows for
multiple arguments, but you need to develop a specific thesis to guide your essay
& support it with historical evidence & examples based on all you have read,
viewed & discussed. Be sure to provide specific historical evidence to support
your answer (e.g. names, dates, places, events). You are evaluated based on
how well you support your opinion, not on the opinions themselves
