Glendale Community College Week 2 the Gilded Age and The Progressive Era Discussion

Explain what created the issue and under which circumstances. Also give your ideas about why the problem persists.

Don’t try to write about everything, instead focus your answer so that you can fully develop your ideas. You must use class material from week 1 and week 2 but if you choose to include anything from an outside source, you must give a citation of which source you used.

Some examples of contemporary issues are institutional racism, Black Lives Matter and other social justice movements, immigration, poverty, but there are many to choose from.

The essential questions are meant for you to demonstrate your comprehension of the reading and class material. They are also meant to help you continue the development of your thoughts by engaging thoughtfully and critically with the material.

These assignments require a substantive response (as specified below) by critically engaging the prompt/s provided. Therefore, your responses must engage key points from the reading, reflect your understanding of the material, and include your critical analysis.

For all Posts, be sure to:

• Demonstrate your direct engagement with the material.
• Give evidence that you have read the material (e.g. make reference to specific sections, specifying page numbers).
• Make specific, detailed points rather than vague points.
• Check for spelling, grammar and re-read your post before submitting.
• Ideal posts are between 150–250 words.
