The trends and events weve studied this term have all shaped and created the world we live in today. To more deeply analyze these connections, find a current article from a mainstream, legitimate news source, post the link, and analyze how one or more major historical trend weve studied this term led to and impacted the current event or trend in your article. Be careful as you select to article to identify a current event that you can clearly and analytically tie to historical trends, rather than just a random article. Also, as you write your post and responses to your classmates, DO NOT focus on political points, right vs. wrong, etc. The goal is to analyze current events from a historical perspective, NOT a political one!
