Task One--DESCRIBE YOUR TOPIC ---Due Monday, March 12th Each topic includes an association (movement) and an individual. **PROMPT: Explain the achievements associated with both parts of your topic. Who and what were altered? Describe why both were significant in the 1980s. Explain the relationship between the individual and the association or movement.** Please write **__two __ extended ** power paragraphs to address the above question. **Each paragraph ** should meet the following expectations: Today Donald Trump is most commonly known for his hit TV show, The Apprentice, and his outrageous catch phrase "You're fired!". In the 1980s, however, <span style="border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Donald Trump was seen as the <span style="border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">face of the "flashy, materialistic 1980s, when he built an empire of apartment buildings, hotels, and casinos"("Donald Trump"). In the 1970s Trump owned the "<span style="color: #121917; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,'sans serif';">Plaza Hotel, the St. Moritz Hotel, now called the Ritz Carlton on Central Park South; and the land under the Empire State Building" (Drexler), following his fathers footsteps in the real estate industry. In the 1980s the real estate market died, and along with it so did most of Trumps wealth. Despite his enormous debt, Trump maintained his share of press coverage by pursuing "a sense of style and glamour with vigor and [opening] up his life and home to photographers and television shows," (Drexler) and gaining back the money he lost. In 1988 Trump decided to enter politics and considered running as a member of the democratic party for president.

<span style="color: #121917; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,'sans serif';">After becoming well known in Manhattan Trump ventured to New Jersey where he built casinos "where he used casinos to turn the economically depressed Atlantic City coastline into one of the most lucrative real estate hot spots in the country" (Batchelor). The housing in New Jersey suddenly rose from what it originally would have sold for, Manhattan apartments were now being sold for millions of dollars instead of hundreds. Trump's real estate triumphs' caused a new need for glamour reflected in architecture.

Trump's buildings set the standards for apartment buildings, hotels, and casinos. In the 1930s his fathers building the Manhattan Bank, along with the Empire State Building were big competitors for the construction of the Chrysler building. Trumps buildings improved the Twenty-First Century's architecture by setting a demanding standard for large and exquisite buildings. These buildings influenced the middle-class and upper-class members of the time because they purchase the hotel rooms, apartment rooms, and play at the casino's.  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 140%;">Donald Trump himself was an influence to celebrities maintaining an everyday (for the most part) job by balancing both fame and his outside job. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 17px;">"[Trump] e <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 18px;">stablished himself internationally as a true American original, the hero as entrepreneur and business mogul, a figure of both amusement and envy" (Phy-Olsen). Trump was given an advantage by being a celebrity, his name was known, and therefore, people wanted to visit his buildings. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 17px;">"Trump became an iconic figure, helping define a new generation of celebrity tycoons whose success was built as much on maintaining an image of success as on financial savvy" (Neilan). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: left;">**Task Two Rubric** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: left;"> Hunter, Ski. “Chrysler Building.” //Salem Press//.

Use the four criteria of the Great Man Continuum to analyze the topic's long-run significance in American society. Specifically, (1) describe the significance of the accomplishment, (2) the endurance of the legacy, (3) extent of the topics influence, and** **(4) impact on daily life of people then and now.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Donald Trump created many influential buildings in the 1980s, many of which are still look up to in today's architecture. Trump has owned and designed magnificent and extravagant buildings that set the standards for buildings in the 1980s, he therefore, is a Great Man in the 1980s. Donald Trump "paved a new road" (Great Man Continuum) for architecture, which was formed by Trump "based more on the individual than the society"(Great Man Continuum), making him an event-making hero. The Apprentice is to thank for Trumps fame, his buildings and architecture are magnificent today, but when the name is heard most think of his show and his catch phrase "you're fired!". Trumps legacy for his architecture and buildings still continues today, but his household known name is known from television. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Donald Trumps themed hotels influenced others to hop on his band wagon, he built the first casino along the Jersey Shore, bring in more tourist-like activities. Trumps buildings and ideas had many copy-cats, he was a trend setter for the architects and real-estate agents for the 1980s. These buildings were event-making heroes by the Great Man Continuum because they set the standard for attractions in architecture and real estate in the 1980s.
