Hey guys I need help with this essay pleasee

To do well
you need to apply the same close reading skills you practiced in the first two section
assignments.
1. Utilize the discussion board readings from WWII and the 1950s.
2. During World War II and the Cold War, Homefront conflicts were numerous and ranged from
questions about civil rights and social justice to cultural disagreements. To what extent and
how did the wars shaped the Homefront in the 1940s and 1950s.
Choose two examples from each military engagement (options for WWII are the Jewish
refugee crisis, African American civil rights, and ethnic Mexican agricultural workers and
options for the Cold War are youth rebellion, gender equality, and cultural rejection of
mainstream mores). Describe the nature of each, assessing how each was shaped by the war.
3. Assignments need to have a minimum of six (6) direct quotations from the primary source
reading documents, consisting of multiple viewpoints/speakers (i.e. not all should be from the
same title/speaker/source)
4. All references must be cited using footnotes or a penalty will be assessed (see page 2)
The best papers will use the primary documents to develop your answer. Please note that for
each body paragraph there should be at least two or three substantive points developed.
