But First, What Exactly is a Primary Source? Primary Sources are original records of the political, economic, artistic, scientific, social and intellectual thoughts and achievements of specific historical periods. They are produced by the people who participated in and witnessed the past. Primary sources offer a variety of points of view and perspectives of events, issues, people and places. These original sources were used or created by someone with firsthand experience of an event and these records can be found anywhere – i.e. at home or in government archives. Moving forward, if you still have questions about primary sources, please email me with questions. If you prefer further verification, please feel free to email me the sources that you plan to use.

National Archives: Primary Source Analysis Worksheets – The National Archives has created analysis worksheets to help you work with primary sources. Copies of these worksheets are provided as attachments in the Primary Source Analysis assignment. The worksheets consist of a combination of checklists and short-answer questions that will help you focus on the most important elements of many different types of historical documents. You will need the worksheets to complete the Primary Source Analysis assignment

Where can you find Primary Sources? Where should students look for primary sources?? Well, the UMGC LIBRARY, of course!! Why, you ask? Well, the UMGC library subscribes to many databases that contain such resources and are available to you in full-text and electronic format. Additionally, students can find sources through the Library of Congress, National Archives or University Libraries and Archives.

Here are some helpful links to get started with the research process.

What are Primary Sources??

Finding Primary Sources

How to Cite Primary Sources

How do I Analyze Primary Sources?

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions about finding appropriate primary sources for your research. Do not use resources from history.org, Britannica.com, online encyclopedias or similar tertiary sources. While these tertiary sources are useful for general knowledge, they are not primary sources. Should students use one or more of these sites, then they will not receive credit and the instructor will ask you to redo this assignment.

Assignment Directions: After selecting, reading and analyzing your primary source(s), please make sure that both analyses follow the format below and includes the following information. Please note, students must submit a Primary Source Analysis Worksheet for each source AND a Primary Source Analysis Narrative for each source. If possible, please save all of your work in one PDF or Word document file to submit to your instructor for review.

  • Complete a Primary Source Analysis Worksheet for each primary source. Please make sure to elaborate with your answers. The more information, the better!
  • Format: Each Primary Source Analysis Narrative should be typed in a word document, with 1-inch margins, double spaced, and include no less than 250 words.
  • Bibliography: At the top of each Primary Source Analysis Narrative, students should provide a complete bibliographic entry. This complete bibliographic entry should include a formal citation, including the URL and your date of access. How should you cite your primary source?? Check out the link below.
  • Analysis and Content: Each Primary Source Analysis Narrative should include a detailed summary of source– in your own words. Ultimately, this should be written within the first two paragraphs of your analysis and should:
    • Identify the type of source, author, when and where the source was produced, and any unique quality or characteristics
    • Summary of source
    • Strengths and Weaknesses of source; any unanswered questions
    • What the source indicates about the time period it was produced and how the source defined, influenced and/or shaped history within the time frame of the course and possibly on a global scale.
  • Each primary source should explain how the article pertains to your research
    • Ideally this information would be stated at the end of your analysis
    • It is important that students share more than a simple sentence in this analysis. I would like to see a paragraph dedicated to this portion of the assignment.

Submitting Your Work: Students can submit their work under the Primary Source Assignment directions. Click on this assignment, scroll to the bottom of the page where you see “Add Attachments,” and then attach assignment here. Students can also submit this assignment through the Assignment tab. Students will also see the rubric attached to this assignment. Please make sure to review the rubric before submitting your final draft.

Elderly People about Australian Media and the Chinese Media. The work is to be 5 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

/in /by

I will pay for the following article Elderly People about Australian Media and the Chinese Media. The work is to be 5 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. This leads to the apparent differential on the nature of the treatment of the old in both states. For example, Australia being more liberal gives the greater safeguard to the rights of the octogenarians. This leads to their dignified treatment as well as advancement modes of care given to them (Yuezhi 118).

On the contrary, in China, there is a more dictatorial tendency in the application of privileges that are accorded to the old. This is due to the less undemocratic culture of the Chinese administration.

In conclusion, the media in both states advocate for the care of the elderly, enhancement of their rights and privileges an excreta. The below excerpt gives a discussion on the similarities and differences of how both states treat their older population.

There is a great deal of difference as well similarities on the modes of treating the old in both states. For instance, in China, the younger generation is compelled by law to visit their elderly parents. With the passage of that law, those who remained defiant would attract to themselves a penalty upon being sued (Yuezhi 30). Even though the stricture, does not state the specificity of how frequent the visit ought to be, it does connote a court action in the event of eventual failure of observance.

The Chinese media has greatly exposed the apparent neglect of the elderly by their siblings. For example, the media once reported of an elderly woman in her nineties who was forced to live in a pigsty for the period of two years.

In addition, the Chinese newspaper is a rot with similar stories and tales of siblings disinheriting their parents of their hard-earned assets leaving them to die uncared for. Moreover, the speedy development in China has led to the destruction of the primordial extended families.

Most of the Chinese population comprise of those over sixty years of age. Sadly enough, the media has highlighted the fact that, more than half of this population lives alone whilst.

Write 5 pages thesis on the topic open-book pelvic fracture. This injury is common among the victims of motorcycle accidents.

Write 5 pages thesis on the topic open-book pelvic fracture. This injury is common among the victims of motorcycle accidents. Depending on the severity of the injury, surgical reconstruction may be needed before the area is rehabilitated. This type of injury increases the risks of hemorrhage following vessel injury or infection, leading to high levels of mortality (Walker, 2011). This paper will explore open-book pelvic fractures, including anatomy, pathogenesis, etiology, radiographic indications and demonstrations, imaging modalities for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

The common type of open book fracture is that which results from an external rotational movement at the hip joint area or an anteroposterior compressive injury of the pelvis, which opens the pelvis like a book, due to the disruption of the symphysis pubis (Walker, 2011). The extensive anatomical examination of the injury shows a continuum of injury, similar to the case with other pelvic disruptions. The examination reveals that the initial force leads to the avulsion of the symphysis pubis, in some cases, with a bone shell or through the fibers in the area (AAOS, 2009, pp. 154). The continuation of the force leads to the tearing of the pelvic floor fascia and also the rapture of the anterior sacroiliac ligaments, either bilaterally or unilaterally. The posterior ligaments of the region are not affected, and that maintains vertical stability. Other forms of the anteroposterior compressive injury include the case where, instead of the disruption of the anterior ligaments, the ilium is the one that fractures. Anteriorly, instead of the fracturing of the symphysis avulsion, the pubic rami may fracture (AAOS, 2009, pp. 154).

An open book fracture is caused by an anteroposterior compressive injury at the pelvis. The compression injury leads to the disruption of the symphysis pubis.
