Overview
ANSWER ONE QUESTION FROM SECTION A AND ONE QUESTION FROM SECTION B.
EACH PAPER SHOULD BE THREE PAGES LONG.
TRY TO AVOID LAUNDRY LIST ANSWERS THAT JUST DUMP EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT A SUBJECT ONTO THE PAGE WITHOUT ACTUALLY ARGUING YOUR THESIS. YOUR PAPERS MUST BE TYPED AND DOUBLE-SPACED.
PLEASE TYPE THE ENTIRE QUESTION YOU ARE ANSWERING AT THE TOP OF EACH ESSAY. THIS IS IMPORTANT. 2 POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FOR EACH FAILURE TO RESTATE THE QUESTION AT THE TOP OF THE ESSAY AND 2 POINTS WILL NE DEDUCTED FOR EACH ANSWER WITHOUT A THESIS IN BOLD.
CITATIONS SHOULD BE IN PARENTHETICAL FORM: (CHAFE, P. 36) IF YOU WISH TO CITE LECTURES SIMPLY SAY (LECTURE, COREY.) NO BIBLIOGRAPHY IS NEEDED. I PREFER THAT YOU NOT USE OUTSIDE SOURCES. I HAVE GIVEN YOU PLENTY OF MATERIAL TO DRAW UPON.
EACH ESSAY MUST HAVE A THESIS STATEMENT PRINTED IN BOLDFACE. IT SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN THREE SENTENCES. IT SHOULD NOT APPEAR AT THE TOP OF THE ESSAY BUT FLOW FROM THE TEXT OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH. FAILURE TO HAVE A BOLDED THESIS STATEMENT WILL RESULT IN A 2 POINT DEDUCTION FOR EACH QUESTION WITHOUT A BOLDED THESIS.

******Part A. (3 pages):
1. H. RAP BROWN ONCE SAID: VIOLENCE IS AS AMERICAN AS CHERRY PIE. DISCUSS THE ROLE THAT VIOLENCE HAS PLAYED IN THE UNITED STATES SINCE 1945.
******Part B. (3 pages):
1. I HAVE STATED THAT AN APT TITLE FOR THIS COURSE COULD BE: AMERICA SINCE TELEVISION. WRITE A WELL-ORGANIZED ESSAY DESCRIBING THE IMPACT OF TV ON US HISTORY AND CULTURE SINCE ITS POPULARIZATION IN THE EARLY FIFTIES
2. Bill Clinton famously said, "If you look back on the sixties and, on balance, you think there was more good than harm in it, you're probably a Democrat, and if you think there was more harm than good, you're probably a Republican." How have "the sixties" set the terms of the debate in American politics in all of the decades that followed?

Here is a google drive link to all the class sources that you have to use to write your essay. Make sure to site all the sources properly according to MLA format. If you are siting something from my lecture notes, simply just write "(LECTURE, COREY)": https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15kcVBbXqTP...
*********I attached my midterm paper for this class in which you did for me, and I got a VERY VERY VERY bad grade on it. The teacher wrote a bunch of comments which are highlighted in red on what you did wrong. Please make sure to read ALL THE COMMENTS and to avoid making the same mistakes you did.
*************DO NOT USE any type of AI, ChatGpt, etc. NOTHING! This must be 100% in your own words. Make sure that it is 0% detectable on ALL AI detectors because the teacher will check and so will I. The teacher knows all these works like the back of her hand, so she will know if you are making something up or leaving something out. Some of the AI detectors I will use to detect for AI are, but not limited to, GPTzero, Grammarly, Quilbot, Copyleaks, zerogpt, etc. So please make sure there is absolutely no AI use.****************
Make sure to grammar and spell check the entire essay.
