The Great Depression

The Great Depression was a period within U.S. History in which Americans struggled to make ends meet and get back on their feet. It was a time in which socialism became a very attractive outlook on life. In a three week unit focused on America’s struggle through the Great Depression, students were able to be highly creative in their learning and application of key concepts. Students were able to see how different groups in America fought through and experienced the Great Depression. The highlight of the unit was for students engage in The Great Depression Project. Students worked in groups to create a Great Depression meal, fashion, game a family would play, Hobo symbol sign, and their own Hooverville.

Discovering Cambodia: Decolonization, the Khmer Rouge, and the Effects on Human Trafficking Today

After going to Cambodia this last summer with NCU missions, I was challenged to make Cambodian history known to the West where it is rarely talked about. This presentation seeks to examine the recent history of Cambodia from the formation of the French Protectorate to the end of the terrible reign of the Khmer Rouge and how this historical cycle of decolonization has lead to the sex trafficking trade in Cambodia today. By examining key primary and secondary sources, this paper will briefly explain the recent history of Cambodia and finally, it will assess the current facts on sex-trafficking in Cambodia and how Cambodia found herself in her current situation with this social injustice.
