Watch the following clips and write a reflection of these clips. Your reflection should be a minimum of 2 paragraphs and 300 words, and needs to include an overview of the clips and an analysis of what you learned - whatdidn’t you know that you now know? You may link these clips to current events, as well as any of the things we have learned so far. Remember, history is the study of both change and continuity over time. While many elements of these sources have astrongcontemporary resonance (this is the continuity part) we also need to make sure that we think about these sources in the context of their time and what they can tell us about the time in which they were created (remember: context, contingency, causality, and complexity). Historians call this process “historicizing” a source. When we historicize a source, we can begin to ask questions about the source’s relationship to our contemporary moment, as well.
