Online translation tools like Google Translation and online dictionaries are pervasive and inevitable. Although it is impossible to entirely reject these handy inventions, translation quality often suffered due to the rigid nature of machine translation. Think about the theories from lectures and readings, how would you approach these tools? How could you enjoy the effectiveness while creating quality translation work? What tools do you find useful?

Be very specific and very narrow. For example, the US Civil War is too broad, while the Gettysburg Battle is appropriately narrow. You can select a person, an event, a cultural phenomenon, an invention, etc. For example, you might write on the religion or musical traditions of enslaved persons or the influence of the Caribbean Islands on slavery in the South. You could also choose to do a biography, such as a study of Hamilton, Franklin, Jefferson, Sojourner Truth, or Frederick Douglas. The invention of the cotton gin, steam power, the railroad, and the McCormick reaper are good examples of inventions you might discuss in your final project. Submit a brief summary of your topic for approval that adheres to the following format:

Paragraph 1: State your topic (person, place, thing or event that happened before 1870) and explain why you’ve selected this topic.

Paragraphs 2–3: Write two paragraphs describing the historic period during which your topic arises.

Paragraph 4: Explain why your topic is of interest to the larger study of history.

Correlation, Causality, and Spurious Relationship

Collapse

Let’s discuss correlation and causality. To explain this, we can use an example of illness. When doctors see some symptoms in the patient, they may or may not be clear what disease the patient has. If doctors know what disease the patient has, they can cure the disease. However, often doctors treat symptoms without curing the disease. They are dealing with a correlation, not causality. Do you see the difference between correlation and causality? Next, let’s discuss spurious relationship. Can you give an example of it? In this thread, provide an example that illustrates the difference between correlation and causality. Provide also an example of spurious relationship. Make sure to come up with your own example. If it’s used by someone else, do not use it. Post early to get your original ideas in!

America Between the World Wars and in World War II: 1918-1945

Reflect on what you have learned about living arrangements for the aging population. What has changed? What has remained the same? If you had to live in a facility for the aging, what would be your primary concern?

Marilyn Davis, age 52, is the mother of three children: Judith, age 17, Michael, age 15, and Jenny, age 7. Her husband George is 56 and is presently unemployed. He has been without work for the past 8 months and appears depressed and apathetic stating that he has been sleeping more than usual. Marilyn and George complain of not getting along and feel discouraged with their inability to parent the children effectively. Marilyn and George seem to have different parenting styles and the children take advantage of this. In Marilyn's eyes, George is too authoritarian and rigid with the kids. On the other hand, Marilyn is overly permissive in George's eyes. When the children misbehave, which has happened a lot lately, Marilyn and George tend to end up in a personal fight about how to handle the situation. Marilyn is concerned about George's unemployment and feels he is not too invested in finding a new job. The family has already started to experience financial problems and they both know that the savings are not going to last forever.

Judith (17) has been skipping school lately and her grades have dropped dramatically. She has a new boyfriend and according to her parents is hanging out with the wrong crowd. Her parents suspect that she may be experimenting with drugs. Judith is upset with her parents for not accepting her friends and complains that they are too conservative and judgmental. Both Marilyn and George seem to agree that Judith is very smart and fear she may be giving up on her studies because her friends are not interested in school. Marilyn also complains that she and Judith are not close any more.

Michael (15) has been having problems in school also and the teacher is worried that he may have a learning disability. Michael has problems concentrating on one task and seems distracted most of the time. The teacher has also noticed that Michael is spending less time with friends. He spends time alone and does not look happy. At this point, the teacher has recommended that Michael be tested for special services and has suggested that he see the school counselor. Michael is very close to his mother and is more distant with his father. Michael seems to be Marilyn's confidant. The school counselor has recommended family counseling.

Jenny (7) seems to be very shy and struggles to verbalize her feelings. She is normally the "left out" child in the family because the parents are focusing more on Judith and Michael. She likes reading and often withdraws to her room rather than playing with other children in the neighborhood. When Marilyn and George fight, Jenny gets upset and swiftly disappears into her room. Jenny is probably the closest to dad and seems preoccupied with the fact that he is not working now.
