Groupthink Vietnam War

College students were aware that over 38,000 American troops had been killed in Vietnam and if something wasn’t done on the streets of America, many more would die. With tensions running high all over America’s college campues, the unrest of the anti-war movent was just about to get worse. Nixon’s decision to engage more troops into a sensless War, sparked a new wave of protests that errupted into many violent standoffs. Unknown to the country, this unrest would take a fatal and trajic turn.

He feels Yanagi’s pain through the connection but he does not draw attention to it. To be in the heat of a powerplay game such as the one boiling over in Konoha right now is a moment of extreme delicacy and ruthlessness; attachments are withheld, persons numbed down. The rampant mentality is this: eliminate those who are likely to get in one’s way, even if they are friends, or valuable allies. Nobody who lived through the Warring States Era would be unfamiliar with this tenet: do what must be done. And if Tobirama was forced to choose among the Yamanaka twins, he would keep Yanagi alive, simply because she is now the more valuable of the two, even though Yanagi herself and most definitely, not Osamu, would admit it. For to dabble in politics is to know who has value, worth and utility, and who do not.

Vietnam War DBQ Rough Draft The United States became involved in Vietnam affairs after the end of World War II, during the Cold War. The French were trying to colonize Indochina, which included Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. America wanted to have the French as allies against the Soviet union, so they proceeded to aid them in their colonization. Vietnam pressed for independence, and war broke out. The U.S. involvement in the war remains controversial.

The shooting of Kent State University on May 4, 1970 marked a point in the war that divided the nation and brought attention to the war on a scale never seen before. Fighting on the battleground was brought to America’s soil through the power of television and as the battle continued, emotions on the homefront intensified. The executive decision of President Richard Nixon initiated the protests and swung the opinion of the use of military force in Vietnam by his “April 30 announcement that he had sent American forces into Cambodia” (Reichard). President Nixon’s decision of sending forces into Cambodia sparked the protests on many campuses, one of them being Kent State, leading to the shooting and killing of four students, however only two of the students shot and killed were involved in the protests. “The killing… was another important turning point for many GI and veteran activists” (Moser 108).

People who were over the age of 30+ were for the war. On May 4th 1970 Richard Nixon gave a speech explaining on how he was going to send more troops in to Vietnam to help the war effort, so this caused riot and chaos in Kent State University, 4 students were gunned down by State troops and 9 students

When Richard Nixon became President of the United States in 1968, he promised to end the on-going war in Vietnam and cool down the situation over there. For this, he called many of his U.S. back to the country (Ninnemann et al., n.d). Since the war did not come to an end, there were many protests going on around the United States including many of the Universities where students were not satisfied with their President. Although there were protests, it was usually silent and peaceful demonstration such that no violence and terror occurred at any place. The protest was usually in the form of activities such as the burning of draft

On April 30, 1970 President Nixon had officially announced that the United States was going to war in Vietnam. The next day a huge group of students at Kent State University, in Ohio, were protesting. As well as many other students at different Universities across the country. Everyone was protesting the bombing that was happening in Cambodia as well as the United States involvement the Vietnam War. What started as a somewhat peaceful protest, turned very violent. The students at Kent State set the ROTC building on fire. The local police force was called in which did not do much help. Kent’s Mayor called the Governor of Ohio, James Rhodes, and asked to send help. Rhodes sent The Ohio National Guard to Kent State. When the national guard got

The "Vietnamization" occurring between north and south Vietnam created more hostility between the areas. As North Vietnam was being bombed secretly or hidden with lies, once the truth came forward by press, the protest began to form in the United States. The most famous being the tragic event at Kent State University located in Ohio, in May of 1970. Protest and rallies became aggressive by students, in which National guardsman fought back and killed four students. As unfortunate as the Massacres and bombing in north Vietnam were, by 1972 they were ready to come to an agreement. On January 23, 1973, North Vietnam signed the Paris Peace Accord ending the Vietnam War.

The Vietnam War began in 1955, but it wasn’t until the 1960’s that the nation witnessed large protests against the war. A process called the draft sent many men over to fight against the communists in Vietnam. This “draft” meant that many men would not have a choice about whether or not they wanted to participate in the war. The U.S. government made that determination for them. Twenty years of combat, in some of the worst conditions possible, resulted in the loss of many American soldiers. There were many protests in the United States that helped open the nations eye towards protesting and how protests affect the war. The Kent State massacre was a big turning point for protests, it made many Americans see that the protests were not just hippies, and people of drug culture spreading peace, but a powerful movement to

The Vietnam war was known as the cold war between 1955-1975, however the arrival of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV) during July and August 1962 was the beginning of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam war. During the war era, political beliefs and traditional values were constantly being challenged in Australia due to the important events occurred, these include the Australia citizens fear of communism that became an issue in the Australian election in 1949, and the impact on the returning veterans challenged many of their traditional beliefs as well.

Death and destruction are also present at all times because of areas devastated by natural phenomena such as Hurricane Katrina, in the form of sinister statues, or by the presence of one of the most shocking sections of the tape, the burial of An African (possibly an arms dealer) inside a coffin shaped like a two-gun weapon. If it was your idea or the family will always be quarantined, but it is obvious that you can not have a worse sense of taste and touch. The devastating effects of war also have room with the presence of a mutilated individual with a completely deformed face. We will also witness the process of massive elaboration of weapons and bullets, as well as their lamentable apology and ostentation by people of different cultures. In addition to its indisputable denunciation loaded with humanism there are also clear signs of environmentalism, despite the absence of the fauna that had greater representation in Baraka.

Deirdre English, an ordinary American girl, found out about the war in the museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. She did not have an opportunity to learn about the war – in school teachers did not talk about Vietnam and she probably did not have a reason to seek for information about it. However, once she accidently saw a demonstration and she found out that she was living in ignorance. “‘Most American don’t even know that we’re at war in a little Southeast Asian nation called Vietnam.’ And I thought, yeah, I’m most Americans (30).” The perception of Vietnam war seems that it was not as important issue as for example World Wars for Americans. These stories show the ignorance of common people. However, it is hard to say if it was their

In the United States, the beginning of the 1970s was a period of much political and civil unrest. The Vietnam War was still going on. U.S. troops invaded Cambodia. Four students at Kent State University in Ohio were slain by National Guardsmen at a protest demonstration. Governor George Wallace of Alabama was shot at a political rally. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that busing students may be ordered to achieve racial desegregation of schools, and the start of the Watergate scandal began as five men were

Situated on the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is the eastern most country bordered by China to the north, Laos and Cambodia to the west, the Gulf of Tonkin and the South China Sea to the east, and the Gulf of Thailand to the south. Prior to the conquest of Indochina by the French, Vietnam was ruled by the Chinese for more than eight centuries. However, after several years of resistance the Vietnamese overthrew the Chinese kingdom in their country and thus became independent. In spite of gaining freedom, the Vietnamese rulers continued to uphold the Chinese system of governance, policy making and also its culture. In fact, most of the Vietnamese were largely influenced by the Chinese culture and religion, mainly Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism.
