I was digging through my belongings and found an old textbook from my university days.

¿SYNTAX ERROR?

...statement does not compute...

Accuracy probability estimated at -34:1 odds.

Please restate the question in a quasi-plausible form.

Hey, I gave you the answers. Just because they aren't the ones you want...... They're still the answers.

...What do these points indicate about Wilson's conception of what a just and lasting peace settlement should include? When you read the next selection, "Excerpts from the Treaty of Versailles," try to determine how closely the actual settlement resembles the Fourteen Points in spirit and content.
...

I've been thinking of Wilson's 14 points. Can you give us the next selection?

Wilson missed the opportunity to be a great man. The countries were stuck in a horrific war they wanted out of but we're afraid not to win. The situation called out for mediation as T Roosevelt had done to end the Russo-Japanese war. As the leader of the largest and richest country, Wilson was in the perfect situation to bully the parties into a settlement.
Alas, he wanted to be the great liberal chess master of the world, imposing his notions of what the world should be like. His notion of giving Poland a corridor to the sea, carved from German territory, was a major cause of WWII. His scheme to divide the Ottoman Empire has resulted in the existing chaos in the Middle East.

The irony when asking for someone else to do work that one is more than capable of doing himself.

Pushing yourself to do this simple assignment is good practice. If you bell the cat now in high school, you'll be ready for going on to college when it is time.

I refuse to believe any college student, even in junior college, is naive enough to believe that grown men would have swallowed the ruse in your OP.

And get in the habit during the regular semester and you won't be forced into summer school.

I believe there's no way to be a truly autodidactic. Answers are always given in classrooms eventually, and they accompanied with explanations is something all pupils need to progress. They're given in school for review, and afterwards explanations of why they are as such are given. It's then the students job to review the answers, explanations, information and retain it for exams and recitations in essays.

I chucked all my binders after the last day of school, and whatever notes I kept, I ended up throwing out when I moved.
Meanwhile, 10 years and two moves later, I still have all my sheet music for band... that should tell you what part of school I found most interesting
The only thing I really hung onto was my high school diploma and my yearbooks. In fact, I have my diploma framed, and hanging in my bedroom, and I still like to browse through my yearbooks from time to time.

I was digging through my belongings and found an old textbook from my university days. It's from a history course, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in completing/working on an old assignment never completed. It was to answer questions alongside reading material.

Here are the questions/introduction/reading material:

The Fourteen Points are part of a lengthier speech that Woodrow Wilson delivered to a joint session of Congress in Washington, D.C., January 8, 1918.

What do these points tell us about Wilson's beliefs concerning the causes of World War I? What do these points indicate about Wilson's conception of what a just and lasting peace settlement should include? When you read the next selection, "Excerpts from the Treaty of Versailles," try to determine how closely the actual settlement resembles the Fourteen Points in spirit and content.

1. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view.

2. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants.

3. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance.

4. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety.

5. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined.

6. The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest cooperation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political development and national policy and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing; and, more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy.

7. Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without this healing act the whole structure and validity of international law is forever impaired.

8. All French territory should be freed and the invaded portions restored, and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interest of all.

9. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality.

10. The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity to autonomous development.

11. Rumania, Serbia, and Montenegro should be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and international guarantees of the political and economic independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into.

12. The Turkish portion of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations under international guarantees.

13. An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant.

14. A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike.

Anyone up for it?

Up for what?

Nonsense thread.

So we at least know that English is not your first language on the planet ORK

I just want to say that due to lack of assistance, I've yet to complete the assignment. No one has to, however it's disheartening to see the amount of unwilling to participate members.

I am a true champion of classroom learning, as the exchange is more educational than the direct instruction. YOUR challenge is to come to your own conclusions, support them with rationale from your reading, and then defend them in the open forum of discussion.

My professor once asked me to take a course she was to teach because she valued my discussion inputs. It wasn't that I had some right answer to defend or posit, but that I was eager to enter the fray, and in so doing, trigger others to galvanize their own views.

BUT, in my experience as a teacher, the problem is more with students unwilling to do the basic assignment, to read the text. All those who did were pretty eager to share what they thought it meant, or what it meant to them.

Read, and you'll find the answers flow. They don't have to be THE answers, but supported.

And to your point about autodidacticism, there have been too many Renaissance men who have proven you wrong. I prefer group learning, but many geniuses have trekked on without it.

Also from what I know a teachers job is to be didactic.

Uhhh... you didn't want assistance. You lied about the premise attempting to trick us into doing it for you. You know... for your "university".

Why would an old homework matter now?

Did you lie to us? Huh? Huh?

It was an old assignment from my University days. I decided to complete it after finding an old textbook.

 

[HunterM]

^ Then there's no deadline that matters to your grade or your income. That means you have all the time (the next few decades) in the world to finish this homework yourself, Pete.

One thing you have to understand though, is that you bring such a question in here as your OP, combined with your immature behavior..... People will expect that you are nowhere near as old as you claim. To many this has the simple earmark of some would-be college student looking to get others to do his work for him. You'll have to forgive those of us who care enough to refuse to cheat you out of the wisdom you will gain when you complete it yourself. And the rest of us..... well those just don't care enough to do your work for you. Quite the conundrum........
