1920s culture war and individual responses to social change

From among the list provided below, choose three individuals who either sought to break away from the past and forge new freedoms, even if controversial, or who resisted such change, whether peacefully or violently. You may not choose all three topics from only one side of the 1920s culture war (see list of options for more details). The goal is not to agree or disagree with a particular person or movement, but rather to understand what or why they did as they did in historical context. While you may choose any three options you like from the list provided, they may not all represent just one side or the other of the culture war that characterized this decade. Use the primary sources provided to include minimally two (2) direct quotes from each associated primary document (in quotation marks and with intext citations). Essays that ignore the documents and quotes will not be accepted and must be rewritten and resubmitted, subject to late penalties. In your essay, answer the following question: How did your three individuals embody the changes in the 1920s after the Great War, and how did they push the limits of freedom or resist change? Writing your essay: In your introduction, provide some background history related to the 1920s, and that may include the influence of WWI. You must have a thesis statement (one single sentence that captures your entire papers subject matter in the introduction). In a conclusion, reflect on the impact your subjects had on this time period, how they represented the era or ideas of freedom, or perhaps the influence they have had on the country to this day. You may not use any independent outside information or research in your paper, or such work will be considered academic dishonesty. Rely on the primary documents, first and foremost. A brief introduction to each individual is provided in the list, along with the mandatory primary documents as well as optional supplemental content. You may view and draw from the supplemental videos and documents for more information if you like, as those are permitted; however, be sure to add quotation marks around any pasted content and have intext citations for any facts shared from those sources — direct quotes or just general information. You may also gather very general facts about the time period from our unit reading as well. Any source outside of the content provided in this unit is off limits. 1. W.E.B. Du Bois 2.
