5/19 1. Texas law has stated that it was illegal to abort a fetus unless it was to save a mother's life. 2. The privacy of the citizens has changed over the century because before abortions and contraception were illegal to use. However as people began to challenge these laws, the rules had changed into making it unconstitutional to hold back people from getting abortions or using contraception. 3. I believe that privacy is a fundamental right. Laws cannot force people into controlling their own family. 4. Yes because the Supreme Court had made the law unconstitutional and that it invades the people's private rights.

5/11 How can you keep authority figures honest? To keep them honest, one might report to a higher authority of their dishonesty to teach them a lesson. -Form a community -A group -Remove them from position What do you do if an authority figure in your life is abusing their power? Again, if an authority figure is abusing their power, one might report it to the higher ups or people that have the right to appeal to these abusive powers.

5/6 What values and view of government are expressed in this excerpt from Nixon's Memoirs? The government had tricked the public into making the public support in everything that the government does. Thought that people would depend on welfare programs too much. Criticizes spending money on social programs that don't work. Key difference between Republicans and Democrats with money on welfare. Democrats increase taxes to spend money on welfare Republicans decrease taxes to spend money on welfare

How would the events of 1968 make Nixon an appealing candidate? People wanted civility because of the Martin Luther assassination Tet Offensive made people realize that US might not win Vietnam

Only South Vietnam has the right to resist these goals as they are one of the major goals set by the North. The South should have a choice if whether they want to join together or not.

What do you think this song is about? I think that this song emits a very strong feeling about the war in Vietnam. Who is the Rooster? Rooster might be the United States because roosters resemble eagles. Who’s they? Vietcongs What is the artist discussing in VERSE 2?

Video Notes -US is attacking civilians -Teasing the vietnamese people while shooting at them

4/2 Based on the quote given by the text book, the risks of protesting was huge. Not only do they scare away family members from supporting each other when they deal with civil rights, but also scar them for life with their future such as jobs. Being an activists meant you would risk your life for the future generation. In my opinion it was well worth it because of the little prejudice colored people face today compared to the 1960's. If I was in this situation I'd honestly do the same. It is better to face the hardships and try to fight against it today, then suffer more as racial discrimination builds up over time while no one does anything about it.

-Also pushed back with violence (Fire Hose, Arresting, Beating)

3/30 Is it ever justifiable to treat people differently based on race religion gender handicaps? In most cases, history teaches us not to treat people differently based on the difference in culture such as the segregation with the blacks and whites. However if you consider the big picture such as expecting as much as regular people and handicaps in terms of work and progress, handicaps would be thrown away. But with treating handicaps differently than regular people, handicaps are now helped and put into institutions with a good cause of curing their disease. Also with gender, you do not see a lot of women doing "man" jobs such as construction workers. If there were no line to treat people differently, women would be falling behind as they are not developed to handle and lift up heavy objects that most men have the ability to.

3/9 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? The CIA intervention in Guatemala and Iran was more of a direct attack than it was an indirect way of helping get rid of communism in the Suez Crisis. While the intervention in Guatemala and Iran was more of a military way of getting rid of communism and the other was just a doctrine promising to help nations to get rid of communism, both had positive effects for the US. As a result of communism being more common in nations, the US had feared that the world would soon accept communism as a whole. Thinking such outcomes, the US was motivated to get rid of communism in a country at any costs. However in my opinion the situation with the Suez Crisis was handled much better because it is not forcing a government on a nation but gives them a choice to choose between the two. 2) What was the significance of the Gary Powers incident on page 850? As the relationship between USSR and the US were getting better, a captured pilot on a spying mission to the USSR had sparked another argument between the two nations again. Although the two nations had sent representatives to tour through their country, all of this may have been in vein as the incident with Gary Powers triggered another mistrust between the two nations.

How women were treated in WWII: During WWII, it was a similar situation on how women were treated during the first world war. Before the war during the depression, women were normally discouraged to not work however as the war started the government had encouraged them to do the opposite. Even a symbol to encourage the women was created which was the Rosie the Riveter. As the war raged on, the number of women working increased by six million. Propaganda such as the one on page 809 and the figure named Rosie the Riveter all influenced the decision made by the women to take over the manly jobs that the men had left for them
