Analysis Of My Evidence: The Stalemated Seventies

Education is a long-term investment. We, as students, work hard to acquire knowledge and to hone our skills so that we may use them one day. The effort we put into a single assignment should be considered as both for that specific assignment and for our rounding as complete, educated individuals. And with this mindset, students should be motivated even more to put more effort and hard work into academics, with the goal of bettering themselves for the future and advancing their prospects as individuals. And with this hard work and effort will come progress, and this progress should be reflected in the grading—not necessarily on individual assignments, but on the student’s education as a

Ronald Regan, the 40th president of the United States, displayed his support for Barry Goldwater. Regan was a democrat previous of his campaign for Barry Goldwater. He also claims that the Democratic Party “left” him. Freedom can be defined in many words, and Regan defined it as, “the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny.” He is saying that if Goldwater was elected then he would give this right back to the American People. Regan claims that the government was taking millions of dollars in taxes, but spends in in under a day. The country’s debt is increasing more than it has ever in the past, and the people aren’t aware how this is happening. People don’t know what goes on within the government, and the public isn’t allowed to know everything that the government is ding either. The government should be more transparent with the people since the

During the 1960 presidential election, the candidates Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy made history by partaking in the first televised debate. The two men both gave their opinions on a multitude of issues and both argued their positions well, but the true argument was among the people who listened to the debate on the radio and the people who watched the debate on television. For those who listened to the debate, Richard Nixon was the clear winner; but, for those who watched the debate, Richard Nixon’s sweaty face appeared uncomfortable in comparison to Kennedy’s calm and collected appearance. This begs the question when is sweat “good/acceptable/attractive” and when is sweat “bad/unacceptable/unattractive”? With the assistance of a simple

Overall, I felt Nixon had a more solid argument. Since he used more hard evidence. Although that did not affect the outcome of the election as Kennedy still won the election. Kennedy utilized mostly general statistics to convey his opinions, for example when he said, “I believe we should have an educational system second to none.” I believe during a presidential speech of this kind word like “I know” would have been more efficient than “I think” statements.

Conservatives in the 1970s and 1980s were responding to many events and policies. Many were responding to the numerous Supreme Court decisions. They did not support decisions such as banning prayers in public education and the legalization of abortion and pornography. Conservatives like Jerry Falwell demanded for America to return to its traditional values, and blamed numerous factors from television to the public-school system (Foner, VOF, 312). In addition, Conservatives stood against the Equal Rights Amendment, the feminist revolution, and the homosexual revolution. Conservative women like Phyllis Schlafly successfully defeated the Equal Rights Amendment. Schlafly argued that the amendment will only make it harder for women, forcing them

Looking back at Dual-Credit American history, it was the research papers that saved my grade. Learning from my mistakes I discovered that self-sufficiency was not the only attribute that I would require for Dual-Credit American History. I had made it through every class before putting in the work by myself or in small groups. Rarely ever taking advantage of additional help form the teacher. My work that I did on my own was sufficient, why would I need additional help? It was with the first test on the second day of testing that I realized this would have to change.

“War what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!” This message continually echoed among the American public during the 1970s, emphasizing its voice of protest against the Vietnam War. In contrast with the rise of counterculture in the 1960s, the 1970s saw the rise of conservatism; the desire to revert back to America’s traditional social and religious values. During this time Americans endured a loss of confidence from an unstable economy, an energy crisis, and ongoing action in Vietnam, and Americans thought that conservatism would provide stability. In the 1970s, Americans saw the rise of Motown in the music industry, which fit the mold of conservatism. Protest music became popular as a response to the Vietnam War, attracting Vietnam veterans as well as the younger

I always felt like I was spending too much time on the sources and notes page, which made me wonder how it was possible to achieve a high score on an AP English essay within 45 minutes.

The essay charts themselves are very helpful and I like their concept. I don’t mind doing the allusions either, I think it is good to have an idea of the hidden messages authors include when using an allusion. Sometimes the workload feels overwhelming, but I glad you give us work days when we need them. Otherwise, I would have a really hard time finishing all my work to the best of my ability while facing personal conflicts. I find the stamps a helpful thing too because it is always helpful to have a one-on-one with the teacher, and most teachers do not spend the time to do that. As far as my concerns for my reading skills go, I still have difficulty answering AP level multiple-choice questions. I think my vocabulary is pretty weak for the test and I’m often stuck between two answers. Also, I’m glad you explained the AP exam and its format. I had initially planned on not taking it, but it does not sound as terrifying and I’m reassured by the reading and data sheets that it won’t be too

Ketrow, S.M. (1999) Nonverbal aspects of Group Communication. The Handbook of Group Communication Theory and Research, 255.

In the debate between sitting president Jimmy Carter and Republican challenger Ronald Reagan, Reagan's arguments and explanations best match the available evidence. Carter claims his policies had reduced the inflation rate by 10 percent in less than a year, and points to the 9 million jobs he had provided to reduce unemployment rates. Reagan refutes this by mentioning that while Carter may have decreased the inflation rate from the beginning of the year, the inflation rate increased from 4.4 percent at the start of his presidency to almost 12 percent now. A graph provided by Edgenuity proves this to be true, therefore current evidence supports Reagan's claim. Reagan also mentions the 8 million people unemployed at the time of the debate, and

Another important thing is organization so you don’t lose things and keep important things in the places that they belong. I’ve learned that the hard way! I have spent a lot of time doing homework assignments, then misplaced them and was unable to turn them in. I also didn’t get 100% on my science binder since I couldn’t find some of my assignments and notes. I had a good talk with Mrs. Merolo and Fray about being organized. Mrs. Merolo helped me by giving me a folder where I could put my homework “to do” on one side and things to “turn in” on the other side. Fray taught me how to organize my assignments, quizzes, tests, bell work and notes in my binder, which has helped me to find my things when I need to study for quizzes and tests. I think I will be able to get better grades after this.

The 1960’s were a time of radical change. It was a decade where people began to question authority, and time of confrontation. The decade's radicalism began with the assassination of John F. Kennedy in November of 1963. This event changed the country's idealistic views, and started an upheaval of civil rights movements. Baby boomers started a new perception, and formalized the act of resistance to war. There were also many of whom, turned violent and rebellious; in their effort to fight "the system."

As I write this paper, I reflect on my experience in Early American History and how my group’s final project went. Overall, the class was significantly more difficult than I first thought it would be. Going into the class I originally assumed this would be a pretty simple GEP with minimal effort required to get an A in the class. Those assumptions were dispelled fairly quickly when I arrived at the first class. The teacher was going over the syllabus for the class and explaining the weekly assignments we would have. We were required to cover certain sections of a chapter based on the topic we chose to cover throughout the entirety of the course. We were to complete this every week and discuss what we had discovered in class. We would also have to write two essays and complete several mandatory readings and podcasts. To top all of this off, we would have to complete a final project that includes another essay. But the one thing that turned out to be the hardest task of the class was not any of these assignments, but was the participation grade.

The 1960’s impacted the United States in profound ways. With the seventy million baby boomers growing into their teens, they brought with them change that is still evolving in our society today. The sixties was a time where American culture moved from being conservative to new and insightful ways of thinking. With these changes, it brought a new counter culture that would be known as the hippie culture. The hippies led way into a new sexual revolution that would break the old fashioned boundaries. The hippies also ushered in a new era where drugs became popular to a large public as well as within their own culture. Drugs were becoming a part of American culture, as well as new scientific research, into the benefits
