The Cuban Missile Crisis lasted for a relatively short period of time but had the highest possible stakes. The United States was on the brink of a nuclear war very close to home. President Kennedy would call on a number of close advisers to help guide him through this crisis.

Imagine that you are an adviser to President Kennedy. You will need to check various resources to prepare a brief for the President to guide him through decisions he must make about the crisis. Visit each site in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, as directed below, and respond to each statement or question to help you prepare your brief.

“The World on the Brink: John F. Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis.” Write a clear statement summarizing the situation Kennedy faced.









“Theodore C. Sorensen's memorandum, October 18, 1962.” List the possible courses of action, including some advantages and disadvantages of each.








“Letter to Nikita Khrushchev from Fidel Castro.” Describe the Cuban position.




Read or listen to President Kennedy’s speech to the nation at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, “Address to the Nation on the Soviet Arms Buildup in Cuba.” Write a list of other actions he ultimately included.









(50 points)
Now, review your notes and write your brief for the president. Your brief should be three to four paragraphs and should provide a complete explanation of the problem and the possible solutions available to the President.
1. How should President Kennedy respond to the Soviet Arms Buildup in Cuba?

Answers

Answer 1
In 1962 , cuban missile crisis had taken place between soviet union and America which had brought both the countries quite close to war. Soviet union wanted to built missile base in cuba which was strongly opposed by USA and so that Soviet Missiles and other military equipment do not reach cuba , America had created the blockade of cuban ports. At that time President John F Kennedy was president of USA. He want to tackle the situation as soon as possible . UN secretary General U Thant had made serious efforts to avert the crisis in which he did not get much success. Soviet union had demanded that in case America agrees to remove its rockets from Turkey , then Soviet union will also abandon the idea of creating missile base in cuba. But America had rejected this demand of Soviet union. As a result of an agreement reached between Soviet prime minister Nikita Khrushchev and American president John F Kennedy, the situation was averted . Under this agreement, soviet union had abandoned the idea of creating missile base in cuba on the condition that America would never attack over Cuba.

Explanation:

The mass media in South Africa has a large mass media sector and is one of Africa's major media centres. While South Africa's many broadcasters and publications reflect the diversity of the population as a whole, the most commonly used language is English. However, all ten other official languages are represented to some extent or another. Afrikaans is the second most commonly used language, especially in the publishing sector.

Up until 1994, the country had a thriving Alternative press comprising community broadsheets, bilingual weeklies and even student "zines" and photocopied samizdats. After the elections, funding and support for such ventures dried up, but there has been a resurgence of interest in alternative forms of news gathering of late, particularly since the events of 11 September 2001.

Why are there so many records of the Malian empire?

Answers

Explanation:

The Mali Empire (Manding: Madé[4] or Manden; Arabic: مالي, romanized: Mālī) was an empire in West Africa from c. 1235 to 1670. The empire was founded by Sundiata Keita (c. 1214 – c. 1255) and became renowned for the wealth of its rulers, especially Mansa Musa (Musa Keita). The Manding languages were spoken in the empire. At its peak, Mali was the largest empire in West Africa, profoundly and widely influencing the culture of the region through the spread of its language, laws and customs.[5] Much of the recorded information about the Mali Empire comes from 14th-century North African historian Ibn Khaldun, 14th-century Moroccan traveller Ibn Battuta and 16th-century Moroccan traveller Leo Africanus. The other major source of information is Mandinka oral tradition, as recorded by storytellers known as griots.[6]

A universal element, person, object, or situation that recurs across literature and life is called

Answers

Answer:

Archetype

Explanation:

Definition of a Archetype:

"A universally recognizable element... that recurs across all literature and life (Latrobe 13).

Psychologist Carl Jung called these elements a kind of "collective unconscious" of the human race, prototypes rather than something gained from experience. The word is derived from Greek:

arche, original, and typos, form or model; thus, original model (Latrobe 13)

Definition of Archetype cnt'd

An archetype is a first real example or prototype of something (as Model T is the prototype of the modern automobile). In this sense an archetype can be considered the ideal model, the supreme type, or the perfect image of something (Brunel 111-112, 114).

Archetypes result in deep emotional response for readers.

"Archetypes are repeated patterns that recur in the literature of every age " (Slan 48).

Examples of Archetypal Characters

"Tragic Hero"                                                    

⇒ Endowed with a tragic flow

⇒ Doomed to make a serious error in judgement

⇒ Falls from great heights or high esteem

⇒ Realizes he/she made an irreversible mistake

⇒ Faces and accepts death with honor

⇒ Meets a tragic death

⇒ The audience goes through catharsis - feeling pity, fear, and emotional relief

"Hero"

⇒ Classical hero journey and qualities of a Hero (honor, loyalty, strength, etc.)

⇒ "The main characters leaves his or her community to go on an adventure, performing deeds that bring honor to the community" (Herz and Gallo 121).

More Archetypal Characters

The Mother

Loving Mother (true maternal instincts, caring, sacrificing, etc.)

Fairy Godmother (surrogate mother) - comforts and directs child, especially when he or she is confused and needs guidance. Represents powers that can be called on for help when it is needed. Helps young person to solve their own problems (Knapp 71).

Earth Mother

⇒ Step Mother

The Great Teacher/ Mentor/ Wise Sage

⇒ Wise "old" man/woman

⇒ protects or helps main character when he or she faces challenges

⇒ Rational, self-reflective character who provides guidance

⇒ Honest, truth-seeker

Even More Archetypal Characters

The Innocent - naive child, youth, inexperienced adult The Scapegoat/Sacrificial Victim - the innocent who gets blamed or dies for the sake of othersThe Enchantress/ Temptress - the female that exhibits power over others, especially men; sе×ually chargedThe Giant/Monster/Ogre - the beast who is an outcast, evil, grotesque; sometimes misunderstoodThe Underdog - the weaker of the two components, the one who is expected to loseThe Double or Split Personality - a character with two aspects to their character; or a character that represents another within the text

And Finally...

The VillainThe Trickster (represents chaos and destruction; animalistic forces)The DevilThe Serpent (biblical reference)

⇒ All characters represent the evil forces at work whose sole purpose it to bring down that which is good; sometimes without any real motivation (no rationality or morality).

Archetypal Settings:

The Garden - a place of purity; cultivation The Forest - represent fertility, home of the Great Mother, symbolically primitive. Those who often enter lose their direction or rational outlook and thus tap into their collective unconscious. This unregulated space is opposite of the cultivated gardens.A Tree - represents life and knowledgeA Cave - turning inward; deep down where a character delves into himself, become invisible; in extreme cases can symbolize deathA Mountain - the highest peak; place to gain greatest insightA River - a place of reflection or rebirth; crossing borders or new territory; May represent human life or time passing as we follow the river from its source to its mouthThe Sea -  vast, alien, chaotic, dangerous; waves may symbolize measures of time and represent eternity or infinityAn Island - a place of isolation; a small world unto itself; microcosm

does America have a free enterprise system?

Answers

Answer:

The U.S. economy is a free enterprise system.

Explanation:

An free enterprise system is an economic system in which privately owned businesses have the freedom to operate for a profit with limited government intervention . Because the United States is a free enterprise, most of the resources are owned by the citizens. Something known as supply and demand controls how our resources are employed in the free business system. In a free enterprise system, investments are determined in a free market by private decisions rather than by state control.

To give more information:

Demand: Consumer willingness and ability to buy products. Supply: The amount of goods available.

Answer:

Well, this answer is honestly kind of tricky because the definition of our country is that it's a free country and a free enterprise means that the people and not the government controls are resources but honestly, if that were true there wouldn't be as many people hungry because they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to afford food and people would have places to live and things such as that so I hope you get what I mean and you may not agree.
