The fact that the young boys made an effort to stop the mob shows that their are good people in this country that will help better Americas future

if this bold of a statement is going to be made then it should be made towards all parents, regardless where they send their children to schools

I think it is very interesting that on the top of his list of being president is restricting abortion, especially being a male president. I don't believe that government should have a say in abortion because you don't always know every situation or reasons for the abortion.

That is a very bold satement to say about the Party. By making this statement it puts high pressure on the party to follow up on the statement.

the idea of life, liberty and pursiut of happiness has been taken away from many African American citizens. How can America be called the land of equality, when it is very obvious that the US is not, and is still fighting for this total equality today

For decades African Americans have denied the right to a jury of their own peers. This is wrong because by setting up a trial of all white citizens for an African American during this time of segregation is setting up that African American individual to often have to face a more harsh punishment than they deserve because of their skin color

By denying African Americans proper education opportunities, they will have a harder time finding good paying jobs, therefore by denying this education, African Americans will be stuck in this constant cycle of oppression

Often times African Americans were denies housing or had to pay increased rent prices for housing because of their race. Our government needs to take responsibility to ensure that African Americans don't have to face this issue ever again

African Americans have been denies their rights as US citizens for decades, and the Black Panthers are contributing to the fight to ensure that they receive what they have been promised and deserve.

The Black Panthers were an organization to ensure that African Americans receive the same essentials of living that all other American citizens deserve. They created a 10 point program to ensure proper employment and housing for all African American citizens.

This is a strong and true statement. Even by making it a law that everyone is equal and everyone has the right to vote, people will still carry the same beliefs they had before. Laws don't change peoples minds. I believe that even after this bill is passed there will still be Americans who carry their same beliefs as before and Americans who feel that not everyone should be treated equal

By denying the basic right of voting to all Americans because of gender or color, America wont be to its full potential.

America is apparently a nation of equality but because of the repeating racism, we are failing to follow the basic right that our nation is so called build on

It is time to change history and finally make all the wrong mistakes that america has made into a good thing and finally give justice to those who have been oppressed for continuous years

Johnson is bringing to attention that there is no need for the repeating cycle of racism and violence that follows it

To have the president make a statement like this, I couldn't even imagine what the soldiars were feeling. They did so much damage and took so many lives for a mistake. How do you live with yourself after that?

It seems like even the American soldiars didn't even know what they were fighting for, they were just following their commanders orders.

American soldiars had no heart and soul when it came to destroying the Vietnamese. They destroyed everything, including the lives and souls of the children.

How are they saving these villages by burning them down. The war would of been better off if America left the Vietnamese citizens out of it and just focused on fighting with Vietnamese soldiars

The Vietnamese public just wanted the war to come to end and have some kind of peace to hold onto

The people affected in this war, didnt even care about the words democracy and communism, they just wanted to escape the harsh and violent reality of war that they were stuck in

because of his attitude towards the Vietnam war, I feel like he is a verteran who was drafted to join and fight in the war. I don't feel like he really wanted to go off to war

By focusing every article on each individual, it makes the book more personal and more likely for people to read it and want to live their lives this way. Redbook was a handbook guide for the way suburban people should live their lives. I find it odd that almost everyone in suburban life followed this guide so religiously.

I think its interesting how in the video, the only people living a good suburban lifestyle are white people.

The suburbs were the beginning of is idea of consumerism.

Young adults are the perfect target of consumerism, becuse more times than not they are more open and free with spending money.

I feel like start a family so young was encouraged so heavily because this is how the consumerism market thrived so heavily. Starting a family requires spending money, which is good for the economy.

I feel like it would be weird to live in the suburbs and constantly be bombarded with growing up quickly to buy a home and start a family of your own as a young adult. To me it seems like in the suburbs during this time, this was the only way of life, if you didn't move out and start a family fast then you wouldn't fit into the social norms during this time. I feel like this was a lot of pressure for young adults.

I think to ReadBook is a book that explains ways of living in the suburbs as young adults, from how to build and keep a perfect home. The suburbs seem like the beginning of a new way of living life.

It seems that most magazines going around durin this time were all focused on raising children.

Suburb life was really focused on starting a family young and having the women stay home to care for the family.

Whats RedBook?

First they forced them out of their jobs and onto the streets. After that they picked them up and deported them out of the country. How is this justifiable?

It seems like the Mexicans in this situation had no other option but to fight their own battle, because no one was going to help them

With little work available to work, and getting paid such little wages, how are they able to survive. This is the problem with the American government. They aren't making much effort to help American families by making more opportunities for them to prosper. Instead their resolution is to locate and deport undocumented workers with out taking into any consideration of how it could effect their entire lives.

Poor children often were unable to go to school becuase their families couldn't afford the expenses, or they had to stay at home to help their families on the farm. By not attending school they won't be able to get a good education and get a good job. If they don't attend school then these lower class children will probably end up doing the same work as their parents, repeating this cycle.

Mexican farmers were often overworked for very little pay because American ranchers new that they need the jobs and were willing to work for small wages.

Military-style operation to locate and deport undocumented Mexican workers throughout the Southwest

I feel like the government didn't take much action in making sure people are safe when the atomic bomb comes. The video says that you will hear an alarm when they feel that the atomic bomb is coming, however other that this alarm, you are pretty much on your own to ensure that you are safe from the atomic bomb.

The video suggests that you duck and cover your neck and face to protect yourself from burns caused by the bombs however by covering the way the video suggest will only protect your face, while the rest of your body will still be exposed to burns that can be caused by the explosion.

The video explains what the government has prepared incase of an atomic bomb explosion, however I don't think any of the methods would really have much impact on helping. Instead i think this video brings more fear to the citizens instead of making them feel more safe.

This video is preparing Americans for the Atomic bomb. It starts out by teaching school children to duck and cover under desks when the atomic bomb explodes. This is a good idea in an earth quake, however during an atomic bomb explosion, i don't think ducking under a desk will protect them very much. This method will probably only work if the atomic bomb was miles away, however if the atomic bomb landed near by a desk wouldn't protect them from exploding.

I think it is very harsh of FDR to take away all basic necessities including medical treatment from the Japanese. I believe that he is thinking that if he takes away all necessities of living including medical treatment, it will cause the Japanese to want leave making his job and troops job easier in removing them from America.

Its interesting how he has no remorse for the Japanese. He is giving permission to the troops to take any means possible to remove them from America.

FDR attemps to remove Japanese from America by excluding them from all food, shelter and necessities. I also find it interesting how he never refers to them as citizens or even Japanese, he refers to them as residents. Its interesting how he refers to the Japanese as "residents" however he is forcing them to leave their home.

During WWII the hate towards the Chinese shifted and was focused onto the Japanese.

I really feel sorry for this mother in the photo. You can see the struggle in her eyes, and how she struggles just to find the next meal for her children. She is doing the best she can for her children.

Being a mother isn't an easy task, especially with young children. I could imagine that having to migrate across country with young children would be an even harder task, I think that this image reallly makes the viewer feel for this mother and her struggle.

Raising a child shouldn't all fall on the mother. A child is created by two people and should be the responsibility of both people. Women shouldn't be treated as less, and have less rights because they 'have to raise a child', if anything they should be rewarded for bring life into this world not demoted.

this is very true, there can be numerous amount of laws requiring that women have the same rights as men, however women will never be fully free until society comes to accept and treat women with equal opportunity as men.

I agree witht his statement. I think that people still view women as relying on a man, however I believe that women have and always will have the abilty to be independent and raise a family on their own, they don't need a man to support them.

Women are still fighting to be viewed as equals to men, and i believe that this fight will never end. Because America was built on the idea that men are more "superior", i believe that there will always be some people in the world that still have these views. Us, women however have made major impact in the fight for equality.

It is going to take the voice of the people to stop the government. This is when democracy comes into play.

The American war was fought for the right to democracy, and now we have the 4th of July to commemorate it.

This has been a recurring thing with the government. They think that because they are the government, they have the right to control people lives like this. In the constitution it states that the people have the freedom to speech and freedom of religion, therefore the government should never have the right to have a say in americans lives like this.

I believe that by comparing the freedom that was given in 1776 and 1936 makes his speech powerful. He is using a literary device by comparing his present to a significant event in history in the past.

In order to related to his peers of astonishing achievement he incorporated different emotion capturing images and colors in order to draw to the idea of the applied statistics beneath them.

To separate himself from the immensely challenging competition at the worlds fair he decided to portray his ideas in a visualized manner in drawing attention to the subject with art and other attention gathering means.

In becoming the first african american to achieve such an unprecedented accolade, W.E.B Du Bois set new standards for all african american people as a whole.

America claims to be a country of equality and claims to be fighting for equality around the world, however how can it do that when America is built on a long history of segregation and slavery.

This is very true. America is a beautiful country, however with its beauty still comes flaws. We can't ignore the brutal history of segregation and hate, that started America.

This is a powerful metaphor. This statement makes a clear picture of how African Americans think they should be treated. African Americans should be be treated with the same respect as whites, in the same way that a husband should treat their wife with respect.

Marcus Garvey is very persuasive in his speech and I believe that he will be very successful in uniting African Americans across the world.

Is Marcus Garveys goal to unite African Americans in the US, or to unite together in Africa and have their own country away from America

This organizations goal is to free the African Americans from the rest of the worlds hate.

This is a strong statement that he is making. By making this statement he is empowering African Americans to bound together and stand up for their rights.

To make a difference in society you need numbers on your side to get your voice heard. By having African Americans from all around the world unite together, the organization will have a stronger front.

Dont people still cover up there babies with a blanket now? If it causes the baby to get to hot than it doesn't make sense why mothers still do this.

If doing this was bad for the babies than why did Indains do this to their babies?

The birth certificate will be very important later in life. A birth certificate proves that you are an American citizen, therefore having one is essential for voting , getting married, and other important events that may occur later in you life.

similar to a birth certificate.

This is a false claim because they cant guarantee that every Indian baby will be healthy if their mothers follow this pamphlet.

This is a pamphlet for Indian mothers telling them how to care for their babies, however so far it hasn't proven any evidence. It is just making claims without any evidence. It makes me question is they people who wrote this pamphlet knew what they were talking about.

They are blaming the mothers for all the Indian babies, stating that they don't take care of their own babies.

By allowing women to vote you will be holding on the importance of marriage and the importance of that bond between a man and women.

women from every culture struggle for their equality. I think the world feminism has a lot stronger meaning now than the actually meaning of the word. the word represents free love, i think everyone, male or female, deserve the right to free love.

This article is saying that by giving women the right to vote it will turn them into men. The differences in the characteristics of men and women are very important. For a strong nation you need both the , nurturing side of a women and the rugged masculine side of men. However you can still have equality and preserve the two sides of characteristics.

Its not always logic that leads to progress. Sometimes being sentimental is important to make a difference. If American dint have sympathy for those struggling countries, than our Army wouldn't of have interfered.

How does sensitivity have to do with the future of our nation?

this quotes pokes at the problem with the fact that women get paid less for doing the same hard work as a man. A women could have a harder job than a man and still get paid less; because of her gender, not because of her work ethic.

I guess I understand why children, criminals and aliens shouln't be able to vote. Children because they are young, criminals, because they broke the law and deserve to lose their right to vote, and aliens because it makes sense that only allow citizens to vote. I however don't understand why women can't vote, but men can, they are both equal and should be treated equal.

in order for there to be a fair majority vote there needs to be a vote from all races, classes and genders, otherwise a groups side won't ever be heard.

a vote is a written expression of opinion, therefore women deserve the right to express themselves through the freedom to vote.

If women both have to follow the laws and pay taxes, then what makes them different than men? Nothing, therefore they should have the same right to vote.

There should never be different voting criteria for women because of the sexuality.

This quote is saying that the Chinese are fine in few numbers but once you start bringing in a colony of them, you start finding problems like famine, and the spread of disease.

This is saying that the Chinese are poor, dirty and diseased and that's why they should be excluded from the U.S

the inferiority of the Chinese population is destroying the white population of the United States.

I think this quote is saying the Chinese Exclusion Act was created to keep the peace and the white population of the country.

more people are against Chinese immigration than the number of people for Chinese labor immigration.

The labor problem in America is more than just an unemployment problem. The unemployment problem in America leads to unwanted ciaos. I believe that America thinks that because immigrants are taking all the jobs, there wont be enough for other Americans, leading to ciaos in our country.

Before the exclusion act took place, their was limited jobs. I think the Act was created to ensure that immigrants don't take all the jobs away from Americans. I believe that America finds laborers immigrating to America more threatening verses non laborer immigrants moving to the US.

During the creating of the US, immigrants weren't welcomed with open arms. The US believed that the United States should be a European population. The US made it very difficult for non white cultures to become assimilated with the country.

The Chinese Exclusion Act took place in 1882, prohibiting all immigration of Chinese immigrants to the United States.

Its sick how our country turned a death of an innocent person into a fun family outing. crowds of people including children would form to watch the hangings of these colored people. Its a mockery. By making their death into an event, it is saying that their life didn't have importance or purpose.

There is something really wrong with the racial differences in America. An innocent colored mans life is at the hands of a white women. Why? Why does color make one person more powerful than another?

I feel like this quote is saying that white people are isolated in a country overpopulated by African Americans. However this doesn't make sense because America is built on the idea that white people are the superior race and they are the ones who overpower every other race.

I think that the most popular justifacation for hanging a clored man was the crime of raping a white women, becasue by doing this it makes it harder for the colored men to fight back with a case. In majority off rape cases even today, the jury is going to most likely take the side of the women or victim of the raping.

A law was passed allowing any African American to be killed for a crime that they so called committed. Because they are colored, there is no evidence or witness needed to prove them guilty.

She is bringing attention to the fact that innocent peoples life were taken and their death was justified by a crime that they didn't even commit. Lynching has been a recurring event throughout history. This part says a lot about the fundamentals our nation was built on.

Ida B Wells was a former slave who brought attention to the excuses used to justify the lynchings of innocent people.

I believe that because her writing had an impact on another women life she feels like she has accomplished herself and has made a breakthrough in the medical world.

I think she had much more knowledge about mental health than many other people did during the late 1800's, and by writing The Yellow Wallpaper, she counteracted the ideas of many physicians.

I think she is making fun of the doctors recommendations. She decides to ditch the doctors recommendations and continue writing, to hold onto what little power she still has left.

She went to a good doctor to see why she was feeling this way. The doctor responded by telling her to do more domestic work and to limit her intelectual time. I think the doctor was telling her, because she was a women, she should focus less on writing and thinking and more on domestic duties( women duties).

deep sadness

Being a women and writing about mental health especially during this time must have been a challenge for Charlotte, because women were looked at as less educated. I believe that many people didn't take her seriously or believed what she was talking about, just because she was a women

Throughout history Women have always had certain expectation they had to follow in socieety.

Chief Joseph felt like he could trust the government and felt like his people were lied to and betrayed when the government didn't keep the promise they made.

The people are surrendering because they feel defeated.

the Pacific Northwest refused to move from there land as did many Indian tribes when they were forced out. As did those situations the situation ended in fighting for the Pacific Westward.

Since America is a nation founded by many different groups of settlers, America is a country with a mix of cultures.

Because of the movement westward the whites obviously encountered Native Americans along the way. Their encounter ended in war. I think this quote is discussing the first meeting of the two groups of people.

Because they are heading to the west, they are going to adapt to new ways of living other wise they will not survive with the new land and lifestyle they are taking on.
