Discussion Post
• In your first post, provide your evidenced opinion re: what do you feel is the most significant impact of the Vietnam conflict up to 1980. Why do you feel this way?
• In your second post, note whether a classmate's perspective is historicized (measures impact based on data from the times and only about the times) or "stepping-stone" (emphasizes what is important to us now or to the writer now and generalizes beyond the specific historical period.) The ability to recognize whether the goal is historical or "teleological," meaning focused on our times, is an important final strategy for recognizing the difference between scholarship and other uses of history.
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
