Course Description
In this course, we will focus on the United States during the decade of the 1960s.This decade, following the “Greatest Generation” which survived the Depreion and the Second World War, was a particularly tumultuous time in American history, when questions of purpose and meaning arose in response to America’s new military and economic power.If the decade of the 1950s was one of conservatism and conformity, the 1960s was a time when the old values and traditions went through a re-evaluation.Beginning with the hope of promise embodied in the youthful president, John F.Kennedy, the country witneed a cultural divide arise between those who advocated substantive change, and those content with the status quo.Various reform groups became politicized through activities which protested the American presence in Vietnam, the lack of civil rights for minorities, and the lack of tolerance and freedom of expreion which characterized American culture.The Cold War hostilities which pitted the United States against the Soviet Union became internalized, as the country advanced toward a period of extended rioting, terrorism, and aaination that threatened the fabric of national cohesion.As we proceed through the narratives of our cla, you should use your written responses to develop a sense of purpose in the cultural, political, and social effects which changed during this time, taking into account such aspects as gender, race, ethnicity, cla, and the many other variables which begin to account for America’s pluralism.Course Requirements
Reading the material with a critical sense of literary and historical traditions is not enough.I will expect you to also share your insights into the readings in regular response papers, to participate actively in the cla discuion, and to take both a midterm and a final exam.Response papers are not the summary of the text in question.Rather, they consist of your emotional, intellectual, and aesthetic connections to the text, and reflect your own individuality as a reader and a thinker.Responses should engage with all of the texts aigned for that week, and be at least a page in length.They should show some serious thought on the subject, curiosity, insight, or engagement with the iues and ideas.Responses which are thoughtful, inquisitive, insightful, and/or show a genuine engagement with the text receive full credit.Your responses must be your own thoughts, ideas, and feelings.If you choose to use outside sources for your responses, YOU MUST CITE EVERY SOURCE EVERY TIME YOU USE IT.If you do not cite every source every time you use it, you are stealing and lying.Such papers receive no credit.Response papers must be emailed to me on the evening before our cla.Email them to me at puluowen@gmail.com.Late responses sent after cla begins will receive no credit.Attendance
Regular attendance is mandatory.If you mi more than 2 cla seions, your grade will inevitably suffer.Should you mi more than 3 seions, I will drop you from my cla.Also, if you attend a different seion of this cla, you will be marked absent.Show up for the cla you signed up for.If you know that you are going to be away from cla for a valid reason, kindly inform me BEFORE you will be absent so that we can coordinate your making up the mied cla.Paper TextsISBN 0-8090-1567-6
