1: there are really only two main ways to get an answer on any given problem. The first is to rule out all but one answer, and the second is to recognize that one is correct and at least one other is wrong. However on the political cartoon with Lincoln there were a few way to achieve these goals. You could notice that the picture on the right has the confederate flag flying (only one of the answers has a date in which the confederacy was in existence). Or you could recognize the person Lincoln was running against in the appropriate year. Or you could see the captions discus slavery which was not the main issue of Lincoln’s first election.

I couldn't find my midterm papers, so I'm not able to answer this question directly.. but there are some techniques I could have used in order to get a better grade on the exam. While taking the test, I'd forgotten to first rule out the obvious wrong answers. If I'd done that on some of the questions, my grade would have turned out to be much higher.

5: Debate: Should government be able to interfere with free enterprise by establishing maximum working hours for men? I don’t think the government should interfere with working hours as not only does it interfere with free enterprise but it could keep someone from making the money they need. If someone wants to work for 20 hours a day it’s not the governments job to stop them.

6: The 16th amendment was ratified in 1913 giving congress the power to tax income “without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration”. The 17th amendment was ratified in 1913 and changed the way senate seat vacancies were filled when the previous senator resigned, died etc. The 18th amendment (ratified in 1919 and repealed in 1933) prohibited the sale, use and import of alcohol as a beverage. The 19th amendment was ratified in 1920 and gave women the right to vote.

7: The cartoon depicts Theodore Roosevelt as an angel forcing Russia and Japan to come to an agreement and end the Russo-Japan war. As he is depicted as an angel I think it’s safe to say that the cartoonist fully agrees with Roosevelt and is showing support for him.

In my opinion, the most influential man of this time period would have to be Theodore Roosevelt. He was possibly one of the most popular presidents ever.

Revision as of 03:01, April 28, 2011

1. Pick a question that you missed on the midterm exam, and describe several different ways that you could have figured out the correct answer instead.

I couldn't find my midterm papers, so I'm not able to answer this question directly.. but there are some techniques I could have used in order to get a better grade on the exam. While taking the test, I'd forgotten to first rule out the obvious wrong answers. If I'd done that on some of the questions, my grade would have turned out to be much higher.

Another way I could have answered more questions correctly is thinking about the situation the question was referring to and remember what other events were going on during that time period. This could've really helped me out.


2. Who was the most influential person of the time period in this lecture? Explain.

In my opinion, the most influential man of this time period would have to be Theodore Roosevelt. He was possibly one of the most popular presidents ever. Some of his accomplishments included the construction of the Panama Canal, and the negotiation of the peace treaty that ended the Russo-Japanese War. Also, he founded several national parks, and even had the teddy bear named after him.


3. Pick any debate or discussion topic or issue in this lecture, and answer it.

[Debate: Was it discriminatory not to include girls and women in this draft?]

If something like that ever happened today, yes, I would say that it is extremely discriminatory. But back in the early 1900s, men did most of the physical work, and women either worked as teachers/office workers or stayed home. I suppose it would have made sense for men to be drafted at that time, but today things are very different.


4. Briefly explain Constitutional Amendments 16 through 19.

The 16th Amendment allows Congress to collect taxes on incomes.

The 17th Amendment shifted the choosing of Senators from the state legislatures to the people of the states.

The 18th Amendment eradicated the sale or manufacture of alcohol in the United States.

The 19th Amendment gives women the rights for voting.


5. Explain the cartoon.

The cartoon shows Teddy Roosevelt pulling Russia and Japan together in order to end the Russo-Japanese war.
