Module 3: Brainstorm Topics

 

The Triumph of the Right: 

Two topics under the chapter "The Triumph of the Right" that I want to research would be one of the following:

1. African American Life in Reagan’s America

2. Culture Wars of the 1980s

If I was to pick "African American Life in Reagan’s America" I would research some of the Black politicians that gained control of major municipal governments across the country during the 1980s. 

If I was to pick "Culture Wars of the 1980s" I would want to research the Reagan Administration and the AIDS epidemic. 

In the early 1980s, AIDS was introduced to the world. It was previously known as GRID (gay-related immune deficiency). The epidemic rekindled ideas about the diseased nature of homosexual bodies

The Recent Past: 

Two topics under the chapter "The Recent Past" that I want to research would be one of the following:

1. September 11 and the War on Terror

2. The End of the Bush Years

If I was to pick "September 11 and the War on Terror" I would research the al-Qaeda terrorist organization and the history between the United States and Afghanistan. 

Ground Zero six days after the September 11th attacks.

The attacks that took place on September 11th changed the world forever. The Bush administration officials made plans for military action against al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Air and missiles strikes began to hit Afghanistan, starting what would become the longest war in American history. Many cities in afghan began to fall into a succession, pretty quickly at that. On November 13th, the capital, Kabul fell. This forced Osama Bin Laden and the al-Qaeda to retreat into the mountains along the border of Pakistan which is located in Eastern Afghanistan. 

If I was to pick "The End of the Bush Year" I would research The War on Terror and of course George Bush.
