For this forum you will visit Fordham's Internet History Sourcebook. A place where you can find primary sources.

You will go down to the section called "The Transformation of the West Scientific, Political, and Industrial Revolution" and "The 19th Century and Western Hegemony"
The topics you are to choose from are below - Please stay within this subject area for this week.
- Scientific Revolution
- Enlightenment

Once you have looked around and found your source, you are now ready to discuss it. Some of these primary sources are short but it is your responsibility to do some outside research.
The assignment for this discussion forum -
Choose a primary source - make sure the title and the links are at the beginning of your discussion so your peers can access your source.
Discuss the source, what is the author implying or saying? What was going on at the time for the primary source? Give any other pertinent information dealing with your source.
You do need a bibliography - minimum of two sources (this includes primary source).
