_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ What conclusions can you draw about Republicans and Democrats? Give a one paragraph summary for each. Democratic party seems to be more realistic. Democratic party value intelligence and fact rather than principles. this party seeks for more intelligence. To get more knowledge, they invest their money in science, education, and economic development. Because of having broad knowledge, they seem to be more open to various of people and ethnicities, which shows their belief in civil rights and equalities. Republicans tend to care about rules and laws that are strictly measured. Unlike democratic party, they care about judicial system, border control, and justices that are followed laws. Their economy strategy is basic taxes and low government spending. Republicans tend to favor white rich people which seems to be against equality and civil rights. Describe one thing about these interviews that surprised you. These interviews surprised me when I have read Republican's idea of getting better education with its free market system. With tax and low government participant in economy, they wanted to produce better education. Because having better education seems to be Democrats' ideas, it surprised me that both groups wanted the same thing. How does each interviewee fit and Not fit into the typical party member? Dave K. does not believe that access to personal weapons should be unfettered. He supports anything that will help the economy such as solar energy. He also thinks that they should help urban areas. Peter W. is against guns and weapons and also conservative about logical issues. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Journal Topic 1. How important is a free press in a democracy? A free press is considered as a very important factor in a democracy. When people come to voting system, they vote what they believe is right. But if there is no free press, then people might get wrong information that is made just for government under power of government. Also, free press is one of rights that people get, Bill of Rights, which gives people power to stand up for themselves. 2. What do you think the relationship is between the press and authority figures? Think about Watergate and the Washington Post, also the reading we did in class. Seeing from the incident with the Watergate investigation, Washington Post strongly went against the government with power. I believe that caused the authority figures to view the press as their strongest enemy. Depending on what the relationship between the press and the authority figure is, the press might help or harm the image of the authority figure. When the press views the figure negatively, it would work to bring the figure’s reputation down, but when the press views the figure positively, it would take the opposite action. 3. Should there be any restrictions on what newspapers can print? I believe there should not be any restrictions on what newspapers can print except when it will cause great chaos. Other than that, I believe newspapers have right to give any true factors that exist. It should be able to provide information that is true to people who are living in a democratic country. 4. Should newspapers be able to report without revealing their sources? Why or why not? Is this important? Newspapers should report with revealing their sources only. If they do not provide source, it would be hiding information from the people, which means people cannot trust newspapers fully. It will bring out a lot of conflict. It is important because newspapers is the side that helps the people to have their power against authority figure, so they should not hide anything from the people. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can keep authority figures honest by hiding no secret at all and having good relationship with people who have less power. I believe one best thing I can do to stop the authority figure from abusing his or her power is to get help from a figure with stronger power, or form a group to go against the authority. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ What values and view of government are expressed in this excerpt from Nixon's Memoirs? In the excerpt from Nixon's Memoirs, the government in 1960s is viewed as a "mistake." His idea about the money spending contradicts to the old value and believes many ways of governments' choices. How would the events of 1968 make Nixon an appealing candidate? Nixon views America from 1960s as an ideal country that was perfect, however, as President Johnson misled the country to Vietnam War, the situation shifts. People who used to follow Johnson decides to cheer for Nixon for the changes they want him to make. Under these pressure, Nixon becomes an appealing candidate that can fix the mistakes President Johnson made. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ who wrote the doc The Revolutionary Party in Vietnam •summarize main points The part wants to "help" Vietnam • what important information does the doc give you The party wants to change everything about their original value • explain significance of the document: consider the effects it may have had It would have make Vietnam a friendly country of the US • explain what the doc adds to the understanding of the War - What is the attitude towards the US in this document? - do you see anything "wrong " in this document?

US also states that Vietnam deliberately and repeatedly attacked United States naval vessels lawfully present in international waters. The stated US goals are to protect the people’s freedom and people that have no territorial in Southeast Asia. It authorizes the president to take all necessary steps, including the use of armed force, to assist any member or protocol state of the South-east Asia Collective Defense Treaty requesting assistance in defense of its freedom The President shall determine that the peace and security of the area is reasonably assured by international conditions created by action of the United Nations _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ According to the quote from page 929 of the textbook and the pictures, it shows that the activities who worked for their own belief were in very dangerous position where most people could become their enemies.

However, following the laws and amendments, there is nothing wrong treating each other if it does not cause them any harm. Segregation in working classes, schools, and other activities such as public bus, do not have any wrongful idea if the person feels nothing. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ In Guatemala and Iran, Eisenhower sent CIA, Central Intelligence Agency to bring down each leader secretly. In Iran, CIA arrested Mosaddeq and replaced with Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the young pro-American shah of Iran. In Guatemala, Eisenhower gathered a small army to bomb the capital and installed a new pro-U.S. government believing that Arbenz was a communist. Eisenhower used diplomacy in the Suez Crisis. He supported UN resolution and later withdrew together. I believe the US did not act justly in both Guatemala and Iran since the US forced the governments to be pro-American. However, at the Suez crisis, I believe the US made right decision minimizing the damage. I think the Suez crisis was handled better.

The Gary Powers incident happened in 1960. In 1959, the US and the Soviet Union promised to discuss about arms reduction at a summit conference. However, in 1960, one of Us's spy plane was captured and was proven that the US tried to spy on the Soviet Union. This incident was called U-2 incident and it delayed the end of Cold War.

 * Research Question -**

__Chapter 27 Section 2__ World War II provided women jobs that were only done by men similar to what have happened during World War I. When men were out of the country fight at the war, women took in charge of the jobs. It provided the idea that women can have the same power and responsibility as the men do. It gave many benifits to women because it gave damn chance to learn skills and also opportunity to gain money and financial power.

In the picture, it shows that a woman carrying tens of items. It shows that women are able to do the stuff that men do and that women should get treated the same. She shows she can work at farm, teach at school, nursing, and even engineering _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
