Do some research on the United States after 9/11 and the the Patriot Act. Compare and contrast how that era was similar to and different from McCarthy's Communists hunts in the 1950's. Be sure to include specific information on each era in history.
Answers
Answer:
The Plague of Fear
Explanation:
The McCarthy's Communist hunts were part of the period called the Red Scare this was a time of prejudice and fear among the people of the United States of America saying the Communism was going to sweep the nation taking away their freedom and Democracy. McCarthy's hunts were done to "help make sure that communism is dealt with". McCarthy at the time held great power being in the Senate and held many unconstitutional trails to suspected Communist supporters/ spies for the "Communist Nation"/ Russia. And now we know that these acts we unjustified. Right after 9/11 we now come to repeat these actions acting on fear instead of justice. The Patriot Act, enacted after 9/11 allowed US agencies to search homes and initiate investigations without a warrant similar to the trials and investigations held during the Red Scare. After 9/11 we targeted and blamed Al-Qaeda and therefore initiated the War on Terrorism and invaded Afghanistan, but not to put down the organization that struck the United States instead they attack the Taliban. This war would continue even to this day fighting multiple organizations throughout the Middle East. This also became soon a fight less about 9/11 and more about fossil fuels and even today the US uses this as an excuse to continue and fight this war. So in the end America ends up only hurting itself in these situations violating our rights to protect our rights. The only real difference between these eras is the fact that we didn't use guns and bombs to get our way in the Red Scare that's why it's called a Cold War.

Your Assignment
1. Think about the character you used during the "Living the Great Depression"
activity. Is your character male or female? How old is your character? What
is your character's position in life? What is your character's background?
Does your character have other people who are dependent on him or her?
Everything about a person and his or her background can influence the
thoughts and opinions a person has.
2. Next, think of all the details about your character and how they might
influence his or her opinion. Fill out a RAFTS chart to identify your
character's point of view when telling about his or her experiences during
the Great Depression. In doing this, you will need to decide who your
character is going to communicate with in this assignment because you
will be writing a letter reflecting on your situation and your opinions about it.
3. Acting as if you were your character, write a letter to the person you have
identified as your audience (perhaps a teacher would be best). In your letter,
make sure that you write using your character's point of view and voice.
Also, make sure to include whatever feelings you may have had when you
were in that person's role.

How would you have reacted to segregation in the 1950s?
How do you think segregation made the United States look in the eyes of many in the larger world in the 1950s?
Answers
Answer:
I am a child of the eighties, a child of parents of the sixties. They were both liberals and brought me up to be a liberal who believed everyone was equal. I was brought up on the music of Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton and a bunch of others it was part of the music of my childhood and it formed a good part of my political ideology.
And if I were to travel back to the 50s now, you can imagine how I would react to segregation utter abhorrence and disgust and protesting against it as much as possible.
An 1896 Supreme Court decision, Plessy v. Ferguson, had declared “separate but equal” Jim Crow segregation legal. The Plessy ruling asserted that so long as purportedly “equal” accommodations were supplied for African Americans, the races could, legally, be separated. In consequence, “colored” and “whites only” signs proliferated across the South at facilities such as water fountains, restrooms, bus waiting areas, movie theaters, swimming pools, and public schools.

What can we do to interrupt hate when we see it before it gets so powerful that it leads to widespread harm of a particular population?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Hate is a worldwide problem, it is not isolated to a single geographic region. Because of this, it is nearly impossible to exterminate hate, but there are things that can be done to interrupt it. For starters, join forces with others and speak up. Many hate crimes (not all) occur because people allow them to happen by not standing up for the victims that are being targeted. Another thing that can be done is to teach love and acceptance. Humans are not born with hate in their hearts, they are taught to hate. Teaching love and acceptance to children would have a chain effect worldwide that will drastically reduce the number of hate crimes worldwide.
