Description

HIS 100 Multimedia Presentation Planning Worksheet Part 1: Brainstorming Instructions: Brainstorm your thoughts on each question in preparation for creating an outline of your multimedia presentation, including specific examples as appropriate. State three historical lenses that could be applied to your topic and explain how each lens can be applied.

Describe how one of the lenses you just identified might change how you approach researching your topic, thus affecting the historical narrative.

Discuss the conclusions you can draw from thinking about how history is told. Consider how historians are persuaded by their own biases, motivations, and influences of their time.

Describe how your research of a historical topic can help you understand contemporary issues in our lives, and try to list at least two related contemporary issues

After taking this course, what is your opinion about the statement “history repeats itself”? Do you think this is accurate? What information from the course guides you to this conclusion?

Political Lens Social Lens Economical Lens

Political because before now, I would read history from the lens of the persons in power and not the persons being affected. I now recognize there can be biases in the presenter’s argument based on their worldview or political stance.

Understanding the authors position in their personal life i.e their core values, helps me to be more objective in the information I research.

The research of historical topics can give us insight into issues that affects us today. Issues such as Red lining, voter suppression and poor school funding for people of color. In the apartheid study it revealed to me how government can write laws to segregate a group of people to control them. The housing ordinance in America tried to keep black people in low income areas and

I don’t think the statement “history repeats itself” have much context. I find it vague and lack specifics.

Discuss your obligation as a citizen of your society to understand the history behind issues that impact you every day. (Note that this does not specifically have to relate to your topic).

While listening to senate confirmation of judge Barrett, senator Feinstein recalled a time when her two same sex friends could not get married and share the rights as If I were to add specifics and ask “has heterosexual couples. One spouse died and the slavery repeated the other could not itself?”, the answer reap the benefit of her would be no. social security that she paid into all her the conclusion I draw working life. That was is that, historical history of same sex events are a working process, its not always people in America, a 100% one way or the that law has subsequently changed other.

policing was the means to keep them under control

and same sex couples now enjoy the right of straight couple.

Part 2: Outline Instructions: Create a plan for your presentation. You will need to create 10 to 12 slides that respond to the critical elements in the Project 3 Rubric. (If you are using Microsoft Word, your multimedia presentation should be 4 to 5 pages long.) The slide title suggestions are provided to help you develop your presentation. The field for slide text is a place for you to develop your ideas for your presentation’s content, drawing from Part 1. The field for slide visuals and audio ideas is a place to develop ideas for visuals and audio elements that can enhance your presentation and engage your audience. As you develop your ideas, you are encouraged to provide details as to how you will use these elements to engage your audience.

Slide Title

Historical Lenses and History’s Value

My Topic

Slide Text

History can help us understand the past, it can help us compare and contrast past events with the present, and it can also help shape the future. Historians look at a topic from various viewpoints, which results in them researching the topics through different lenses: social, political, and economical. Social Lens- how do people view the situation in terms of race, culture, and socio-economic aspect. Political Lens- The relationship of those who have power and those who are affected by those who have power. Economical Lens-this is looking at the economy locally, nationally, and globally. How did the apartheid laws affect the people of South Africa socially and economically?

Three Historical Lenses

Political Social Economical

Lens 1

Political LensThe National Party (TNP) rose to power in 1948 and maintained full control over about 75% of the black population, they laid down harsh punishments for those who did not abide by the laws that were instituted. Laws were created by the all-white government to protect whites from blacks and also to reap economical gains.

Lens 2

Lens 3

Social LensBlack, South Africans were ignored in the voting process. Blacks were forced to carry identification cards authorizing their presence in non-black areas, also there were separate public facilities for whites and non-whites (black, colored). Black South African rights were revoked; their rights to education, to move about freely to work where they choose which cause them to live in object poverty. Economic Lens- The Bantu self-governing act of 1959 is where tribal lands were divided up for black South Africans to push them away from the white colonizers. This idea was not to allow blacks to have land ownership but as a means of voter suppression. The Bantu Act was enacted to give black South Africans political rights over themselves, however, it instead removed them from the nation's political process.

Historical Narrative

What we can take from the dismantling of apartheid is that change can come if we do not accept injustice as the status quo. What is also important is that the rest of the world join in solidarity against oppression With constant protest from the South Africans and pressure from the global community it forced the all-white government to cave in and give black South Africans their freedom.

Conclusions

I can say I don’t think history repeats itself and will never repeat itself, but the remnants of the past still linger today. What happened during the apartheid matters to society because of systemic racism. In America today, black people are still fighting for equal rights and justice, they are been discriminated against due to race, gender equality, cultural background, socio-economic status etc.

Our Lives

Given the current political climate, the drive for equality for black people in America has never been more forceful. There has been a spate of police killing of unharmed black men reminiscent of the era of slavery and apartheid. Blacks are continuously fighting for police reform in how black men are treated verses their white counterparts.

Does History Repeat Itself? (My Opinion)

No, I believe history as it relates to human rights, we have gotten better over the years and I believe it is always a working progress. but to say things that have happened in the past has somehow resurfaced i.e. Germany killing Jews or apartheid in South Africa, no, I cannot say that has happened again or will ever happen again.

Does History Repeat Itself? (Evidence from the Course)

The answer is a “no” with explanation. I have not seen a wholesale re-enactment of the past in the present as it relates to the apartheid. So, while there are remnants of apartheid still lingering in South Africa, the majority of South Africans have civil rights and can live freely in their own country.

Are Citizens Obligated to Know History?

I do not think they are obligated to know history but knowing history, it gives one an appreciation for where we are coming from and where we are going.
