Answer оne (1) оf the fоllowing questions in аn essаy. Use specific evidence аnd examples to support your answers. Be sure to think globally. Assessing industrialization: What are the most significant benefits and drawbacks to industrialization? Who or what benefited? Who or what lost? On balance, was industrialization beneficial or detrimental? Notes and recommendations (specific) Do your own thinking (higher level thinking skills)! This is a question that is easily subjected to a Google search that will quickly result in a list of benefits and drawbacks to industrialization: “18 Advantages and Disadvantages of Industrialization,” etc. While such an answer may be a “right” one (although the quality and validity of sources accessible via Google are decidedly uneven), it is not your answer. I want to see how you take the available evidence from lectures and readings and reach your own conclusions (higher level thinking skills)! “On balance” requires taking a stand! It is obviously the case that there are both benefits and drawbacks to industrialization. But this essay prompt requires you to make a determination (even if it is only 51% vs 49%) and explain and defend it! Consider non-human actors and factors. Note that the “who” in the prompt need not always be a specific human or even a group of humans! How do you define “significant”? Be sure to explain and defend your choice of criteria. Don’t just state or assert it! One potentially significant result of industrialization is the power gained by early adopters including nation-states and empires. Many used this power to conquer and colonize other peoples. Is this a benefit or a drawback? Think deeply and explain your reasoning about this and all other results or legacies! Synthesis and description: Tell the story of the Cold War. Include at least six (6) specific events in your narrative. Notes and recommendations (specific) Don't lose sight of the Cold War "forest" for the "trees" that are the specific events! Be sure to situate your selected events in a broader “big picture” narrative that explains what the Cold War was about, why and how it ended, who “won” (if anyone), etc. Be sure to think globally! The Cold War was truly a global phenomenon that impacted literally every region on earth. The core of this prompt is a narrative (or a story). What elements or characteristics make a good, engaging, and compelling narrative? Be sure to include and utilize them!
