They entered because the #1 statement says that they had been attacked even though they declared their neutrality, which angered U.S. citizens and declared war. Also the #3 Statement was very convincing because U.S. bankers were on the verge of breaking down, and of course the war is very profitable, and therefore they had to go fight in the World War 1 to save themselves from breaking down since they had their money put on the countries that were already fighting.
 * Why Did the United States Enter WW1**

If there were to be a new country, it would be the one I currently live in, but with knotches added to it. The democratic, capitalist society seems to be working the best in the world today, and by all means, I would like my country to become as successful, yet what capitalists face today are the problem which made the middle class disappear, and I believe a country's wealth is determined by how much middle class people, how less the poverty has wrecked the country, and by this I would create national health care, free admissions to high schools and Universities.

What rights do you believe should be guaranteed by the government? Rights such as to freedom, wealth, and one’s welfare are all essentials of rights that should be passed by a government. To have less power than such given should be declared as a communist state, taking powers of civilians. Their welfare may as well improve national economy, and lead to international affairs, letting the whole country to result in a better state.
 * POSING QUESTION:**

The airplane was possibly the most important innovations of the century, and the time period. The Airplane did not only pose a special cause, or something we call hope, driven by the Wright Brothers. It was an impossibility that they'd be successful in the experiment, but just like any other inventors or innovators, they had failed and failed infinite amount of times. The Airplane which has become one of the leading travel source of the world today had been started off by these wright brothers, and it had much been supportive to the industry, travel, and unfortunately war. More important than the invention it self was its posing theme, "nothing's impossible.'
 * POSING QUESTION:**

According to the text many new immigrants were continuously coming to U.S. Many forms of ethnics grouped with each other to create societies while others tried to blend in to the society there was at the time. Many immigrants had to endure hardships in their new home. Most immigrants settled in crowd cities where they could find only low-paying, unskilled jobs. Their works were also consisted which were called "dirty work." There were also the Chinese Exclusion, which denied citizenship for the Chinese, and forbid to keep their own property, or work in certain jobs. While on the other hand, they were able to find health care, education, new jobs, ability to buy property, freedom of religion, and many different factors which helped them a better life than back at their original country.
 * POSING QUESTION 10/14:**

THE PICTURE is showing uncle Sam stopping immigrants from caring their poverty, disease, anarchy, desecration, sabath, and so on. But ironically the gate says "welcome" and "free entrance" which shows the American's hypocrisy about their feeling towards the new immigrants. Even though they openly accepted these immigrants, in the inside they were keeping them away from them and rejecting them from coming in.

Homework: Containment is a policy, which U.S. used in order to stop communism from spreading. It is limiting the hazardous ideas to stop the spread, for example caging a bird from flying away. The Korean war was a form of containment because it was in purpose to stop the North Korean communists to take over the Democratic South Koreans. On 1950, June 25th, the North Korean army crossed the 38th parallel down to the South Korean territory. The unexpected attack allowed the North Koreans to push until they had 95% of the whole Korean territory. However president Truman decided upon that the Korean take over will worsen the domino effect of communism; and sent UN troops, and also U.S.’s troops to participate in the Korean war. President Macarthur planned an landing in Incheon which was a crucial victory of the war, and took back the capital, Seoul. The U.S. soldiers cut off the supply line of the North Koreans, and forced them to retreat until it was up at the very end of Korea. Yet, when Koreans and the U.N soldiers finally thought that they have won the war, the massive number of 300,000 Chinese soldiers crossed the border and attacked the U.N. forces in surprise. This caused the U.N/Korean forces to be forced back behind the 38th parallel. Eisenhower then asks the Soviet Union for a cease-fire of the war, and the Soviet agrees. An example of another containment was the CIA intervention in Iran. The CIA went in a covert operation to coup the communist leader Mohammad Mosaddeq who nationalized a private company’s land in order to spread it to the poor. Seeing this, America acted right away.

HW 1)Compare CIA intervention in Guatemala and Iran to Eisenhower's handling of the Suez Crisis? Did the US act justly and according to its values? What were the motivations in each case? Which one do you think was handled better and why? Unlike the intervention in Guatemala and Iran, Eisenhower remained unresponsive, and remained neutral to the crisis. US had no right to intervene in a place such as the Suez Crisis, and to be more direct, it would not have made a difference in America's economical and political structure. Intervening, and giving a helping hand for the better isn't always the best choice out there. The events in both Guatemala and Iran were rather out of U.S.'s limits, and yet they decided to turn things around in the country for the better of the citizens, forming a coup, and driving out their old leaders. This may have been done for the better, yet it is an immoral and a mockery for those who received help without even realizing it.

2) What was the significance of the Gary Powers incident on page 850? Gary Powers was a captured pilot, on a plane called U-2 a high altitude spy plane. He was captured because he had been shot down by the Soviet Union for flying in their territory without any notion. U.S. tried to convince the Soviets that the plane was on a weather tracking mission, but went off course, yet Gary Powers confessed that he was on a spy mission which almost had Krushchev decline the Summit meet. This event acted as a thaw that brought cold war to an end.

Final Question: What and How did Fascism cause change in America and their citizens?

3/30 CW: Is it ever justifiable to threat people differently based on race, religion, gender, handicaps, etc? Anything is never justified. Some people may see it some way while others might see it in another. Yet in my opinion, discrimination due to difference between people is wrong. There is no law which allows one to discriminate and segregate one for being different. Segregation causes chaos and disorder in the world.

4/2/09 Read quote on page 929. What does this tell you about the risks and resistance Black activists faced in working to get the vote. Is it worth it? What would you do in this situation? The quote personally tells me this, that Black activists had to risk his relationship with his family, and their safety. He was unable to possibly support his family with being an activist because, being one was basically turning the whole society back on you, and it would then distinctively segregate those who tried to become a Black activists. These people had to face resistance in violence and fear; people were arrested and were beaten. These sort of threats were common as a black activist in the society.

4/6/09 Why did they go They went mainly becasue they "volunteered" to take part in this war, and help out with war. He is proud that he is fighting the forces of evil or communism. Instead of going to college, he sees fighting against communism came first before any.

4/13/09 VietCong Plan

The document was basically about the genuine goals of the Viet-cong and its reasons behind its actions. The document notifies that the Viet Cong is a democratic group, that wanted change in Vietnam and reform it. The Document gives new ideas to the war, how the war should be viewed differently because the Vietcong was actually a democratic band, yet they were notified as a evil communist group that wanted to take over the country. The attitude towards U.S. in this source is clearly unhappy to the fact that U.S. had so much effect on the Vietnamese life, becuase as it says, they wanted to eradicate U.S. economic monopoly, and promoted domestic goods. Also they wanted freedom from cultural enslavery that the U.S. had put on for example, education and policies which aren't Vietnamese. Goals seem just to the fact that the Vietnam is a third world country, and the plan only means to do well for Vietnam. Not only is it democratic, but its also promoting self-reliance and independence, the essential part of being a democrat. None, other than the country itself could possibly deny this rules. Just because the Vietcong disliked the U.S. was the reason why U.S. decided to attack the Vietcong and consider them communist because they were forceful with their ways of carrying out their plan. The Vietnamese wanted nationalistic views to become much important cause of running these programs.

4/15/09 Life Magazine: Vietnam War Pictures

The pictures of Vietnam war, truly is disturbing. The pictures conveys that the war had not only been greatly damaging to the soldiers of the war, but also it to the civilians as well. The war's cost was damaging in both sides of the conflict and in U.S. of course created greater anti-war protests. The media was also enraged and they exposed such pictures to American society because they also had the right to be notified of the conditions at Vietnam.

5/12/09 How can you keep authorities honest? What do you do if an authority in your life is abusing their power? Easy, tell an higher authority about the corruption of the certain authority, and create laws and punishments for the juvenile actions. You could also form a demonstration and appeal to the society for democratic countries are ran by the people, for the people of the nation.

I believe that this certain passage talks about the invalid form of criticism against the governmental injunctions, and how newspaper had cotinuanlly violated the rights of first amendment

5/17/09 Feminism is an ideology in which women thought that they should be perceived and treated equally to men in every aspect of life. Such as economical, educational, and independent rights, were what feminists sought for. It's also when women stopped being so reserved and inward, but coming out with discarding feminine perception, and thereby becoming more manly so that they would not be discriminated.

5/27/09 What conclusions can you draw about Republicans and Democrats? It's possible to conclude from the reading that both of the ideals differ greatly in fundamentals and beliefs in politics. Each of them seems to provide a cause and a solution to many problems in the current management of the country's politics and projects the both ideas well in a very substantive way. To be a republican, it seems you need a strong faith towards your country's government while to be a democrat, you must become less dependent upon the government, and think about running the country yourself, with all the possible privilege and right you own.

Give a one paragraph summary for each. A republican is a type of governmental viewpoint of advocating more governmental involvement all around the country. Republican tends to look for government that is not a monarchy or a dictatorship, and generally associated with laws and rules of a country. Mostly being dependent upon governmental ruling the republicans are very concentrated upon fiscal decisions.

A democratic party is another one of governmental viewpoint which supports sticking to the origin, fundamental ways of government that has a more realistic and inclusive worldview. Describe one thing about these interviews that surprised you. I was very surprised that republicans and democrats supported such different viewpoints, and couldn't agree upon a single form of idea. How does each interviewee fit and Not fit into the typical party member? First of all, the first interviewee is too conventional, and sticks too much to the roots of government, while the second interviewee was rather more lenient to the dogmas, but using logic and intellects to determine and figure out problems.
