Homework
This written assignment deals with the lessons to be learned by the American experience of the Vietnam War.
This assignment deals with lessons learned in different arenas:
diplomatic negotiations, presidential leadership, and cultural/social
contexts.
With your historian’s hat on, briefly write the single most significant
lesson you have learned for each of the three areas given above, with
reference to what you have learned in the textbook for the whole course
to date.
Because there are so many lessons to write in the narrow space of this
assignment’s page limit, brevity is important. Write with precision, and
limit yourself to a well-developed paragraph for each lesson. There is
nothing like a limit of space to make you get to the point! The size
limit of this assignment remains, like the others in this course, two to
three pages double-spaced.
For a summary at the conclusion, write a short paragraph about what you
have learned in our course as a practical historian, a “lesson learned”
for yourself. What you have learned about yourself in the role of being
an observor of Vietnam and 20th century events, and what do you value in
studying the events of the world’s past?
