Module 7. Due April 16
Write a short (3-page) essay that puts the current coronavirus pandemic into historical context. Use the information you learned in Module 5 to get you started. You do not need to do additional research unless you decide it is necessary. However, you do need to cite all sources of information you end up using in your essay. Include both in-text citations such as (Strayer 91) and a Work Cited section at the end. Your essay should be 3 pages and include the following elements / address the following questions:
* What is a pandemic?
* Does a disease need to impact the entire globe to be considered a pandemic or can it be regional (e.g. small pox killing native Americans after European contact) and still be considered a pandemic?
* What are some global or regional pandemics from the human past? How did they start?
* A reflection on your own experience as a human being living through the pandemic of 2020… i.e. put your 2020 experience into historical context.
