History

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The recent event I choose is the present political campaigns and the 2020 presidential election.

The past historical event for reference is the US presidential election of 2016. In that elections, so much was said and done about the problems in US politics and how both candidates attack each other, instead of proposing clear arguments and strategies to improve the citizen's conditions in many important areas such as health services, the creation of jobs, internal debt, environment conservation, immigration, crime, among many others.

Unfortunately,  four years later, we are witnessing exactly the same behaviors, public conducts, lack of high-level debates, and probably accusations and critiques ar worse this time than four years ago.

My strategy to use modern values to present past events is to invite the American audience to take a serious evaluation of how politics is at its worse level of all times. There are no proposals, just accusations. There is no respect, just aggression. There is no sense of unity, just division. And the extreme visions are polarizing even more.  My invitation would be to acknowledge the present situation, knowing that in the past, people have only been a passive witness when their participation is much needed. Not only in the election but closely following the political and economic life of America and the decisions of the representatives.

andre [41]

Answer:

The diffusion referred to in the question above is called Stimulus Diffusion.

This refers to the transmission of an idea or culture from it's original demography to another and then changes in the way it is being practised or is adopted in a different way in the new region.

 

Explanation:

In The Lorax, which is a children's book written by Dr Seuss and first published in the late nineteenth century. In the book, the author speaks to economic and industrial issues as it affects the environment.

The Onceler in the Lorax used to be an agent of environmental destruction and tells his tale from a point of regret. It is in the course of telling the story of how he masterminded the destruction of the environment in the valley that once contained a forest of Truffula trees and a range of animals that he mentions how his idea diffused into the valley.

Where he came from people wore Thneeds and they wore in around their necks. In the valley, they didn't. Nobody knew what a Thneed was. He relocated to the valley because of what he thought was a business opportunity: Demand for Thneeds. He then tries to sell the Thneed which was made out of the Truffula trees but the people of the valley were not interested.

After several attempts at sales of Thneed, he gives up and throws the Thneed away. Just then, it hits a girl who starts to wear it as a hat. Somehow, people take a liking to the Thneed as worn by the girl and they all rush to the Onceler to make one for them.

So in the above, narrative, we see a Stimulus Diffusion of an idea or culture. The Thneed was a new idea which got diffused into the culture of the people of the valley. Not only that, but they also changed the way the Thneed was being used where the Onceler came from.

Cheers!
