Methods of History and Bibliographical Assignment
Bibliographical Assignment/List: The Modern World: 1650 to Present
The title or topic of your bibliography/bibliographical list must be clearly stated at the beginning of your work. Next, using APA, MLA, or Chicago Writing Style identify two primary sources from the research you have already done for the assignment for the bibliography. This is the title/topic of a research paper you could write in the future. You are not required to write a research paper now, only the bibliographical list. Finally, add to the bibliography/bibliographical list five secondary sources from your examination of articles, books, etc. The bibliographical list/bibliography must be no more than two (2) pages. The list identifying sources or references must be related to any aspect of the history of the modern world from 1650 to present that you are interested in.
Start doing this assignment as early as you can. This will give you time to contact me, if you need to, before the due date, if you need assistance. Your bibliographical list must only contain primary and secondary sources on any aspect of the History of the Modern World from 1650. For example: the paper you may write in the future may focus on how scientific research during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries contributed to the development of European societies, or what was the impact of Enlightenment scholars’ ideas on other world areas. Other areas of research for the bibliography include the consequences of military revolutions such as the American, French, Haitian, or Latin American.
The class covers the Industrial revolution, Western Imperialism in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, the ending of enslavement, the emergence of trade unions, human rights, and important discussions on world organizations such as NATO, the European Union, and the United Nations. You can compile a bibliography/bibliographical list on any aspect of Modern World History Since 1650.
An example of a bibliographical list/bibliography can be found at the end of scholarly/historical books or in an English Handbook.
