For Monday, keep working on your bibliographies. It is critical that for this project you complete each stage in order, and that stage is approved before you move on. Therefore, if you've had your topic approved (and anyone who was in class yesterday has) you can move on to the bibliograpy. Yesterday you were just collecting the materials. For Monday, write those up in an MLA format works cited page and then write the summary and relevance you your argument summaries between each entry. Post the results here when you're finished.

Correction:

World War II.

Arielle Shimko

1) My new topic will be building off of my initial topic of the representation of the Holocaust in society. 

Perhaps the most effective way of relaying information to the public is through film. There are many films about the Holocaust, and the most poignant are the documentaries which include personal interviews of Holocaust survivors. Survivors show their pain and troubles with dealing with the effects of the Shoah on a personal level, as well as on a collective level. These documentaries encourage individuals to understand the terror in the Holocaust, and help show us the detrimental effects. It is vital to preserve Holocaust documentaries for the future, when no Holocaust survivors remain. The footage is proof of the Holocaust and the stories ensure that we will not forget World War I.

2) I will be using the Cuny+ system that our lovely librarian showed us. I have found many books which are pertinent to my topic, and I hope to also find documentary footage, in addition to the literature regarding documentaries. I will also be using Google Scholar to find scholarly articles.

3) The research will help me validate my thesis and give me a new perspective on the matter. Once I do more research, it will also help me focus on specific aspects of the documentaries. This way, I will be able to complicate my thesis.

Golda Markowitz- Topic

1)The government has various responsibilities when responding to disasters that occur. It uses several organizations to aid in fulfilling these responsibilities. The government’s response to a disaster depends on the contributions of its organizations.

2)My research will be coming from scholarly journals and articles that discuss what types of organizations the government uses, how these organizations were formed, and what they each contribute. In addition it may include discussing when the government must respond and when it does not, and also what sort of preparations the organizations need for when the unexpected occurs.

3)Through this research, I will become acquainted with the structure and function of these various organizations and I will be able to explain how each contributes to the government’s response to a disaster. The research will tell how the government coordinates the response of these various organizations to maximize the overall response to that particular disaster.

Magdalena's topic

My new topic is going to be about the ''Heroes of Warsaw Ghetto Poland''. On April 15th there was the anniversary of Polish Jews who were trying to fight the Germans in 1943. There is a monument devoted to the Polish Jews in Warsaw. There were emotional Yidish songs on April 15th 2008. In the mean time there were religious aniversaries in a lot of concentration camps in Poland. A lot of people dont know how many concentration camps were in Poland during WW2.

April is the month of Uprising in concentration camps in Poland. During spring break I got interested in Polish Jews history. I found out that many of my favorite poets were of Jewish background. I found out that Jewish people were welcomed by our kings and they got their rights in the middle ages. They could build as many synagogues as they wished in Poland. The Jewish People reffered to Poland as''The Polish paradise''. In 13 England kicked the Jewish people out and later the other European countries kicked them out, so they came to Poland which was nice to them. By the beggining of WW2 Poland had over 4 million Jews. I was doing a research about Polish politicans and half of them are of jewish background and the former president too. It seems like a lot of people are of Jewish background. When i was vieving concentration camps I found out who the comendants were of those camps. A lot of them were not typical Germans but Swedish, Danish. Some of them didn't have the typical ''Aryan'' face. A lot of them looked like normal people who would't hurt anyone. I found out yhat Hitler was one quarter Jewish but he hid the documents . Europe was so mixed then that we could believe that.

zhi yang: research paper

Why the school violence keeps repeating itself in history over the past decades? From the vaguest memory columbine massacre to the latest Virginia attack, the accident is getting much bloodier and terrible. Compared to other developed countries England, Japan, France, or developing countries china, India, American has a high rate of school violence. Why there are so many merciless teenager killers? That can attribute to the American culture. Teenagers’’ believes, thoughts, behaviors are shaped by the American culture. In contrast to other counties, American culture is more aggressive, such as America invades other countries. The culture is strongly associated with the economic. America is the only one super power in the world. The generation of teenager is affected by that idea. They act like they are the center of the world and do something incredible.

then i will expore some measurement needed to take to prevent further school violence.

COLTON HELLER- NEW TOPIC

1) My topic for research will be the illusion against reality, what’s apparently true, set against the romanticizing of mob culture. This will research Italian mob personalities and to see whether they in fact lived romanticized lives or not. The rise of the mob in America compared to the mob in Sicily, and its development. This will lead to why Italian mobs are the only ones who are romanticized by movies and media, and how only the Italian mafia is romanticized and judged by culture and not others mobs, such as the Jewish, Russian, Irish, or Asian.
2) I will be looking for research to answer these questions as further explanations of the stateda thesis. I will be using Jstor and Project Muse, along with the library and internet sources. I am very curious to find the answers for these questions and understand they all take place.
3) The research found on mafia lifestyles will help me get a better understanding to answer the questions in my topic of research. This will help prove my point in depth and give me an answer to these questions.

Paper Topic

1. My topic is the phenomenon that tragedies(assassinations, accidents, deaths) cause. The phenomenon that occurs when tragedies happen is people feel a sudden need to show their sympathy and compassion for people they never personally knew by giving flowers or leaving notes and candles in memory of people. I will be looking at the phenomenons that occurred after the tragic deaths of Princess Diana, John F. Kennedy, Benazir Bhutto, Eva Peron(Evita), Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.

2. I will be researching what happens after the tragedies, what memorials are created, by who and where. I will be looking at what causes the international out poor of sympathy when tragedies occur. I will also research the media's relation to the obsession that the public has when tragic events occur.

3. The research will reveal what happens after tragedies so I can clearly compare what happens in certain situations in the media and the public. In the case of a suspicious sudden death such as Princess Diana to Evita who died of cancer. And the assassination of J.F.K. , Benazir Bhutto, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohandas Karmachand Gandhi. The research will help me to display what obsessions is caused by the media in tragedies and what is different in particular tragedies.

By comparing the three political assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and Benazir Bhutto, this paper will prove that even though the assassinations occured at different time periods in different parts of the world there are intriguing similarities and differences that occur throughtout the media and society when the assassination takes place.

Elizabeth John

This paper will be proved by scholary articles provided by JStor, Academic Search Premier and Project Muse. I will research assassinations that include Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan, and Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy from the United States. The paper will examine the who, what, where, and why the assassination occured and the similarities and differences that occur with all of the assassinations. Articles on the assassinations will be closely examined and compared to one another to show the differences but more so the similarities between these three assasination that occured at different times in modern society.

Elizabeth John

My topic is the occurence of political assassinations in societies of different countries, and there effect on all aspects of society including individuals, the media, history, and how any assassination generates the same emotions, and questions initially felt.

Then I want look into research done on racial discrimination and I want look into court case regarding racial discrimination .I want to define the word race, discrimination for that I want look at different dictionary and encyclopedia. Also I want to consider interview with victims of racial discrimination and look at solution to prevent such tragic from happening.
