Social Code

Choose a country and Write about a 5 pages research paper. The paper will focus on a topic that falls in the period from World War II to the present. The aim is NOT to write on current events but on events or trends in the past that can help give essential background for understanding today’s news. The paper will be organized around something puzzling in that country’s political, economic, or social experience at some time in the latter half of the twentieth century or the first decades of the present century. That puzzle will be expressed in a “why question,” which will be substantiated by qualitative or quantitative evidence. Students will develop an answer to that “why question,” which will be the argument of the paper, including further evidence to support that argument.

Narrow down the question or the argument

come up with concrete events, dates, and groups of people during the period you choose.
