Studentenactiviteiten voor De New Deal
Hulp, herstel, hervorming: de New Deal-initiatieven
Kort na zijn aantreden promootte president Roosevelt zijn New Deal-programma, dat de nadruk zou leggen op de '3 R's': opluchting, herstel en hervorming. Hoewel de New Deal is gezien als een controversiële reeks wetgeving die door de federale overheid is vastgesteld, bestaat er geen twijfel over dat deze hervormingen levens hebben gered en banen hebben geboden aan mensen in nood gedurende de jaren dertig. De acties die de federale regering heeft ondernomen om de Amerikaanse economie en samenleving in leven te houden, blijven een onderwerp van intensieve studie in de economische, politieke en sociale veldslagen van Amerika.
Tijdens het bestuderen van deze periode van de geschiedenis, zullen studenten worden blootgesteld aan tal van economische, politieke en sociale hervormingen die zijn vastgesteld in het kader van de New Deal. Ze zullen zien hoe de federale regering in de Amerikaanse samenleving stapte om de vele problemen die door de grote depressie werden veroorzaakt, te verlichten. Ze maken kennis met de achtergrondvragen van de New Deal. Studenten onderzoeken en analyseren vervolgens de programma's die onder de New Deal zijn gemaakt.
Studenten krijgen ook de mogelijkheid om een stap terug te doen vanuit het perspectief van alleen de jaren 1930 en kunnen terugkijken op de problemen die zijn ontstaan voorafgaand aan de Wall Street Crash op 29 oktober 1929. Om dit apparaat te verbinden met de geschiedenis van vandaag, kunnen studenten kijk naar de moderne samenleving en analyseer de rol die de federale overheid speelt in ons dagelijks leven. Studenten zullen worden aangemoedigd om niet alleen verbindingen te leggen tussen de New Deal en onze moderne samenleving, maar ook om de rol van onze overheid in ons leven vandaag te analyseren en te beargumenteren.
