The Real Bombing In Hollywood

The Golden Age of Hollywood was a time when Hollywood hit its peak successfully and economically, starting with the late 1920s, and met its decline due to corruption in the late 1950s. One would ask the question: “Where did the name Hollywood come from?” The name came from Harvey Henderson Wilcox and his wife, Daeida, who were owners of a small ranch west of Los Angeles. According to u-s-history.com, “Daeida, who, while on a train trip east met a woman that described her country home in Ohio, that had been named for the Dutch settlement of Hollywood. Liking the name, Daeida christened their ranch 'Hollywood,' upon her return.” (History of Hollywood, California) Movies during this time period became a vital form of entertainment for all Americans during this time period. By the 1910s, Hollywood was combined into its neighboring city Los Angeles, and many motion-picture studios began to open. Moviemakers rushed to Hollywood, and competition started to become widespread between directors and producers. By 1910, the first motion picture was made in Hollywood, titled In Old California, and soon enough, Los Angeles became second to New York in producing films also because of it’s quintessential weather for movies to be made in all year long during this time. As Hollywood began to industrialize, filmmakers began to work on the image of a “star”; they would continuously use these highly-paid actors in order to achieve a form of comfort for the general audience of the movies.

The music industry also experienced drastic changes between this time frame and analyzing these changes is pivotal in understanding the history of America and may assist in predicting the changes to be expected within the next one decade. Evolution and advancement in technology are also a crucial part of the discussion of American history and the emergence of the digital era. It is, therefore, worth appreciating and acknowledging the past since it forms part of our identity.

Khoper was the one of the many senators of the city of Boston, he was the kind of guy who would do anything necessary to get money, become as rich as possible.

But all of this was about to change.

haps the most productive response to this madness was from Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), who used the opportunity of yet another high-profile shooting to point out that the nation’s gun laws, and those in his state, are deeply irrational. We don’t yet know where Mr. Flanagan got the weapon used to gun down Ms. Parker and Mr. Ward. We certainly don’t know if the gun-control measures that Mr. McAuliffe or other would-be reformers favor would have prevented Wednesday’s deadly attack. But it doesn’t matter. Tragedies such as these remind us of the easy, brutal efficiency that guns bring to the business of killing.

An example of this was the Haymarket bombing towards the Chicago police during the pace of events. The bombing’s hurt workers’ rights and limited the union use of mass strikes. The rally began peacefully in the evening of May 4. Spies, Albert Parson and Samuel Fielden spoke to the crowd which was estimated to be about 3000 persons. A home-made bomb with a brittle metal casing filled with dynamite and ignited by a fuse, was thrown into the path of the advancing police. Its fuse briefly sputtered, then the bomb exploded, killing policeman Mathias J. Degan with flying metal fragments and mortally wounding six other officers. The police assumed that an anarchist had thrown the bomb as part of a planned conspiracy; their problem was how to prove

A well-known sense of community for the United States is the annual Boston Marathon. April 15th 2013 the city of Boston prepared for its race, but there was no way that it could have prepared for the tragic events which would rattle the entire country. Two pressure cooker bombs were detonated at 2:49 pm near the finish line amongst hundreds of spectators and athletes. The attacks resulted in six losses of life and over two hundred fifty injuries.

In his 2002 documentary, Bowling for Columbine, Michael Moore touches upon the problem of gun violence in the United States. By conducting many interviews in the United States and in other countries, Moore searches for the root that causes gun violence in the U.S. in comparison to other countries and how social factors can affect the American culture. Moore focuses on a school shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado and tries to analyze why the two killers shot up the school. As a Criminal Justice major, gun violence is a crucial issue in the U.S. and with easy access to guns and an overexposure of violence in media, there should be imposed limitations to minimize violence.

He cites survey data showing that young Americans continue to embrace the "American dream" of soaring financial and educational achievement, of doing better than one's parents. When such dreams are frustrated, this bedrock belief in upward mobility predisposes some -- especially those with a tenuous grasp on mental health -- to psychological "strain." In rare instances, severe strain helps forge mass shooters, he wrote.

After watching the documentary about the Mission District in the beloved San Francisco, it’s hard for me to say if I agree or disagree with the gentrification that has been happening there however I believe that I am leaning more towards agreeing with it. There are many good things that could come out of this like older buildings being restored and creating better housing however this does mean that prices are going to be rising quickly. More importantly, these neighborhoods would become safer and crime rates will come down (San Francisco Gentrification). In the video, Rose Hunter, a small business owner, talks about how people have more confidence to walk on the streets because of the different kinds of people and businesses that have come around (Kepka). However with more people moving into the area, the culture levels have
