The Making of Modern America
COMPETENCIES
The Making of Modern America
The graduate explains significant international and domestic challenges that the United States confronted since World War I.
INTRODUCTION
The development of the United States in the twentieth century was shaped by several challenges: an
economic collapse, global war, and social and political upheaval at home. The economic collapse that
preceded the Great Depression brought high unemployment, increased prices for goods, and displaced
populations across the United States. President Franklin Roosevelt promised a “New Deal” for Americans, and during his administration the federal government intervened in the American economy with regulations and stimulus, changing the relationship between the states and the federal government. The aftermath of the Second World War brought the United States to greater international prominence, but the following geopolitical and ideological struggle with the Soviet Union divided the planet and threatened international destruction through the use of thermonuclear weapons. At the same time as the United States was expanding its role as an international power, many domestic protest movements challenged institutional discrimination and unequal systems of power in federal and state governments. Their victories resulted in legislation and legal precedents that changed the complexion of American society.
In this assessment you will examine several major events that shaped modern American society. You will
consider how the New Deal policies were designed to ameliorate the effects of the Great Depression, how
the Cold War was waged both internationally and domestically, and how the civil rights movement
challenged the perceived assumptions of American society.

Where appropriate, make sure to include specific evidence and/or examples (along with appropriate citations). When writing your analysis, consider the eight standards for critical thinking (Paul and Elder, 2013): clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, and fairness. Ask yourself questions, such as
How can I validate the accuracy of my statement?
How is this information relevant?
How does my conclusion address the complexities of the issue?
What is another interpretation or viewpoint of the issue?
Does my conclusion follow from the data and/or statements I have provided?
Is my writing detailed and demonstrates my mastery of the topic? (Don’t just give the “What” but also the “Why” and “How.”)
