The Tragedy Of The United States

The crashing stock market became a key contributor to this crisis. With World War I coming to a close, a new generation formed in the United States. It was filled with enthusiasm, confidence, and optimism.

Beginning on October 29, 1929, there was a stock market crash in the United States which was a significant turning point because it halted the considerable economic success from the roaring 1920s, leading to a nationwide depression. This event took place during the presidency of Herbert Hoover, and it resulted in a drastic change of the United States’ political, economic, and social structure. This event also spurred the interest of many political figures to try to save the economy including Franklin Delano Roosevelt who issued many reforms for the protection of the people and to restore the vitality of the nation. The Stock Market Crash of 1929 was a major turning point in United States History because it represented the negative impacts of the changes derived from the roaring 20’s, and the events that occurred after this event strongly impacted the structure of society leading up to today.

As we now know, the U.S. economy, the middle class, and its job growth was damaged by the overwhelming collapse of Wall Street, which was triggered by the downfall of the housing market and sub-prime loan defaults. One of the main things that need to be addressed in our economy today is the housing market and making sure that our banks and credit unions are not allowing people who do not have the necessary income to pay their mortgage disbursements. In an article entitled Thinking outside the Housing Bubble, the author John Vogel remarks how the economy is generally supported by the housing market. Vogel states:

There has been a terrible accident, your head is crushed and you are fighting for your life, but “they” know you won’t make it. The doctor should also be fighting for your life, but he isn’t. You realize this is no accident. This is a partial birth abortion. You are not a patient of the clinic, you are simply a fetus. Abortion, in today’s society, has almost become second nature. Women all around the world are aborting children because they “aren’t ready”. Norma McCorvey, better known as Jane Roe, was the defendant in the 1973 United States Supreme Court Case Roe v. Wade. That landmark case established a woman’s right to have an abortion, but it created serious implications for right to life in America.

There are times in our life when each of us has fallen ill. Many of us immediately consult the doctors. Our faith appears to have disappeared. As diligently members of the church, we do not stop to consulting God for His medical assistance. We can all identify with the woman with the issue of blood and how she spent all she had before she meet up with Jesus and just by reaching out and touching just the hem of His garment. She was made whole. Hezekiah quickly turns to the wall and consults God for a miraculous healing immediately. God extended His life just like that. We must gather ourselves and remember where all of our help comes from and that is the Lord. As, the trials of life comes about, we are waiting on the Lord. The fact of the

On February 26, at 7:11 pm it was a rainy night in Sanford, Florida when a neighborhood watchman, 28-year-old mixed Hispanic George Zimmerman, calls 911 to report a suspicious person. “This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about” (Genius). That suspicious person was 17-year-old African American Trayvon Martin returning home after stopping by a local convenience store to purchase, the now infamous, Arizona Ice tea and Skittles. When the 911 dispatcher asked Zimmerman if he was following Martin he replied “yeah.” The dispatcher in return said, “Okay, we don’t need you to do that” (Chicago Tribune). That call would last four minutes.

Current Event: According to The New York Times, On May 27, 2016 Argentina’s last dictator, and 14 other former military officials have been sentenced to prison for the disappearance of more than 100 people during the Operation Condor conspiracy to hunt down dissidents across South America. This all began in the 1970’s when six South American dictators started the Operation Condor and used their “secret police networks” to track down rivals who were across the borders. Many of the bodies of these victims have still not been found and the prosecutors continue to try and cover up the deaths today. The court sentenced the leader Reynaldo Bignone 20 years in prison and the other 14 received eight to 25 years. One of the many victims was Maria Claudia Irueta Goyena, who was the daughter-in-law of Argentine poet Juan Gelman. Maria was pregnant when she was kidnapped and held inside an auto shop for months before someone in the air force came and took her to Uruguay. After the birth of her daughter she went missing and then years later her daughter Macarena Gelman discovered her own identity. "Operation Condor affected my life, my family," Chilean Laura Elgueta told The Associated Press outside the court room. Her brother, Luis Elgueta, had taken refuge in Buenos Aires from Gen. Augusto Pinochet 's forces, only to be forcibly disappeared in Buenos Aires in 1976 as part of Operation Condor (The New York Times, 2016).

According to the U.S. Census, one in three children, or approximately fifth teen million, are growing up without their father. This is what I would consider an epidemic because the numbers continue to rise yearly. With the numbers continuing to grow, American children continue to suffer. It is critical that a father is positively active in their child or children’s lives because father’s provide a sense of safety, mothers cannot teach a child everything that a child needs to know, and households gain balance when the father is present. I will now better explain.

Though there are many horrible things that have happened in America’s history, Americans actions during these events will provide hope for the future. There are numerous events that have happened in America’s history: many wars, natural disasters, and terrorist attacks; looking back on this history, Americans can learn and have hope for the future.

The real cause of the crisis was not in the housing market but in the misguided monetary policy of the Federal Reserve. While the economy started to downsize in 2008, the Federal Reserve concentrated on solving the housing crisis yet it was just a distraction from the entire thing. By its self, it might have caused a small downfall. As the Federal agency released the financial institutions at a risk from a number of bad mortgages, it disregarded the main cause of a serious crisis (FEDERAL RESERVE BANK of NEW YORK, 2017) A decrease in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which entails the total value of all commodities and services produced in the United States, was not adjusted for inflation. Such a decline began the unplanned crisis in mid-2008, and once it happened, the damage had already

"Ring around the rosy a pocket full of posies" begins playing the dancing death song round and round inside my head every time I look back at my life. When the news of the plague began hitting other towns around me that is when I became frightened that my city was being quickly destroyed. I started pleading my husband to not leave the house but he called me insane his words were "who else would bring the money to the table". He never was a good listener and it was when my husband passed away that I realized death is unavoidable. People began to question God whether he is with us or not. Chaos broke out in the towns, cities and finally the whole entire European country quickly started dying off. People began turning on the church and government for not having the medicine we need nor the love from God.

Wes was back living in a small town in Massachusetts because of his older brother, Wilson Oliver. It was backwards thinking on their mother’s part in Wes’ humble opinion, but she insisted on her father’s name with her first born. Later, when she divorced from their father, Wilson Oliver Wilson was never able to live it down.

Kent State University, located in Ohio, faced a tragic event on May 4th, 1970. On this day members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of students ultimately killing four and severely wounding 9. (Lewis, Hensley) This massacre stunned the country. The various reactions to these students’ deaths came in a widely range throughout the country. Many citizens sparked a voice of belief against these actions and made a significant impact on the aftermath. Neil Young produced a highly acclaimed song, “Ohio”, about 10 days after the shooting. This song became an anthem for those Americans who were completely appalled by the actions involving the war in Vietnam (Songfacts). The legendary song, “Ohio” was an effective anthem to all Americans sparking a an impact to many protestors during a desperate and stressful time.

economy, people began buying stocks on the margin. They would borrow most of the stock’s price from a stockbroker and only pay a little bit of the price. If the stock prices kept rising, this system would work well, but if the prices fell, people could not pay the loan back. Near the end of the 1929 year, prices were too high, so people wanted to sell their stocks. They thought the prices would lower soon. Stock prices did go lower and people were not buying. They all wanted to sell their stocks. Prices went even lower on October 29, where 16 million stocks were sold. This caused the collapse of the market.

The housing market crash, which broke out in the United States in 2007, was caused by high risk subprime mortgages. The subprime mortgage crisis resulted in a sudden reduction in money and credit availability from banks and other lending institutions, which was referred to as a “credit crunch.” The “credit crunch” and its effect spread across the United States and further on to other countries across the world. The “credit crunch” caused a collapse in the housing markets, stock markets and major financial institutions across the globe.
