Take time to plan your response and choose specific illustrations. Then develop your points and provide a suitable conclusion. Make sure that you respond to all parts of the question. Also, when possible, try to include specific examples. Write legibly. Use complete sentences and appropriate paragraph breaks.

Discuss public attitudes about poverty and the way issues of poverty and economic inequality were addressed by politicians and reformers during the Progressive Era, the Great Depression and the 1960s. What economic, social and/or political factors contributed to these attitudes/approaches? Make explicit comparisons between the three time periods.
  2. Historians have offered a variety of motives to explain U.S. foreign policy, including: racism, economic self-interest, benevolence, national security, domestic politics, and ideology. What have been the major sources of American diplomatic behavior since the 1890s? Have the factors influencing U.S. policy changed or remained consistent over the course of the century? Illustrate your answer, drawing on at least THREE of the following: the Spanish-American War, the Philippine-American War, World War I, isolationism of the 1930s, World War II, Cold War “containment,” the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
