Understanding How Societies are Structured and Evolve

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: This block will look at the foundations and changes in society focusing on major shifts the USA has undergone over the past 200 years. Students will examine what has led to significant changes in American society and how these changes were affected. The intention is to give students a deeper understanding of the framework of US society and the role that individuals, government institutions, protest movements and the media have played in societal shifts. The idea of identity and how minorities have been perceived will also be addressed.

Key Questions:

1. What were the aims of the framers of the constitution?

2. What role has the US Supreme Court played in changing US society?

3. Why have certain groups in the US felt disenfranchised?

4. What events led to the call for change and recognition amongst minority groups?

5. Which has been the most effective in bringing about change - legal recourse, individual action, protest movements, political will or media?

6. What have been the impacts of societal shifts or “forced” change?

Two Decades Later, the Enduring Legacy of 9/11

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Twenty years ago, Americans came together – bonded by sadness and patriotism – after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But a review of public opinion in the two decades since finds that unity was fleeting. It also shows how support for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was strong initially but fell over time.

Dear Dr. Smith,

My name is David Wu and I'm a second year biology major at UVa. In my introductory and upper-level coursework, I've developed a passion for science and am extremely interested in pursuing independent research as an undergraduate. An extensive research experience will greatly help me consolidate my future career choice.

I am personally greatly interested in the molecular biology of stem cells. Recently I read your 2011 paper on the role of microRNAs in the differentiation of muscle stem cells and became fascinated by your work. In particular, I found it amazing that microRNAs can alter the fate of a cell in such a profound way. If possible, I would love to start working on a long-term project in your lab beginning this summer.

Would you be available to meet sometime this week to discuss your research? I would also be happy to volunteer in your lab for a few weeks before we commit to anything to see if this is a good match. My transcript and resume are attached in case you are interested. I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you,

David Wu
