Discussion Forum Topic for week 13: Name
and explain the logic behind some of the military conflicts that
followed in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Was the containment policy to
blame? This is not an opinion seeking question. This is a research-based
exploration. Keep this in mind.
The format for the forum:
The main post: a three to five-paragraphed narrative
introducing your idea or reaction, backed with evidence, and a
conclusion. A paragraph is understood to be composed of 5-8 sentences
with proper citations, references, and style/grammar. The main post is
always due on Thursday. Example
The secondary post(s): a free-flowing discussion engaging
others’ comments, with no length requirement yet academic in nature.
Evidence-based material only. If you select to introduce evidence – MLA
formatting for citations and bibliography is a must. No speculations and
don’t forget to cite (in text and at the end of your post). You may
start a discussion link through this forum. The secondary post (s) is
(are) due by Sunday night, and maybe be posted anytime during the
assigned week. They are usually brief and respond or comment to peers in
class.
You may choose to write in MLA, APA or Chicago for all our writing
assignments in this class (discussions and essays). MLA is the most
common and known to students. If you don’t know other writing styles and
formats – just stick to MLA.
