Ron McCarthy was troubled by the dead man and his surroundings. He had seen many homicides while in Philadelphia, especially before he was transferred from the Northern section to Center City. Not that the Center City people were all angels, but probably they were more sophisticated. At least near the Museum district the murders were limited to rare findings of a dead body, usually stacked away under dry branches and bushes in Fairmount Park. More often street accidents, reckless drivers or even more reckless pedestrians were the victims. But those were not intentional deaths. Furthermore, it was obvious even to a new rooky as to what caused the tragedy. The Williston death of Jeb Odum was troublesome. Not only was the man far from being old
Two of the major events in history are the salem witch trials and Mccarthysim. Both of this events have similaritis like how they both accused innocent people wiyh out evidence and also they created fear with in the people.even though they have this thinhs in common the also have diffrences.
A key factor in the case of Walter McMillian was that he was an African American man who at one point was respected by his community. However, an extramarital affair with a white woman is what crossed the line. Affairs were not out of the norm in the Monroeville community, but given the fact that McMillian was black dramatically changed what was perceived as socially acceptable behavior. The significant questioning of McMillian’s character came into play when a young woman, Ronda Morrison was murdered. The profound change in the community’s view toward McMillian was an incentive to point to him as the mastermind behind the murder. The police were unable to produce any viable suspects which led to pressure from the community to find and convict a killer – even if the person accused was innocent. The interrogation tactics used during the questioning of suspects and witnesses produced false allegations. Tactics such as intimidation and bargaining. These practices encompassed covert operations that allowed the law enforcement – police, district attorneys, judges – to navigate the case. Several people were instrumental in concocting the false story placing McMillian at the center of the crime. After his initial lie, Ralph Myers’s was pushed by police to produce additional information which although false, was used by police to arrest McMillian. As the story gained traction in the town,
include persecution of the accused, large-scale scares in the involved communities, and the incarceration of many innocent people. People in Salem, as well as the United States during the Red Scare, were always on edge for any hints of these offenders.
McCarthyism and the Salem Witch Trials are notorious events in American History. Although they weren’t contemporary, it is undeniable that they are related. McCarthyism was from about 1950 to 1954, or when World War 2 had finished and the Cold War was “heating up.” There was anxiety in countries all over the world and people were beginning to panic. First term senator from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy, did nothing to comfort the nation. In February of 1950, Joseph McCarthy presented a speech that claimed he had a list of 205 communists in the State Department (History.com). Joseph McCarthy’s egotistical action resulted in people losing trust in America’s government. President Dwight Eisenhower and other
My thesis is that the Salem Witch Trials in 1692 and the second Red Scare, also known as the McCarthyism Era in United States history, are essentially the same event repeated; with the exception of some key differences. The best way to recognize the differences and similarities is by looking at the things such as the people involved, how the movements began, the outcome of both events, and the legal standards at the time. The most infamous person in the McCarthyism Era is Joseph McCarthy, who it is named after. McCarthy was a senator at the time of the second Red Scare, which resulted in paranoia of a Communist uprising in the United States. The hysteria began to blossom when McCarthy began falsely accusing numerous people of being Communists
Bennett another reporter took a different approach to covering the murder. He was looking at the murder and wondering how a young respectable man could be accused of such a heinous crime. He refused to believe that this crime could be committed by a man with such a promising life ahead of him.
The Salem Witch Trials and the McCarthy era were dark times in American history. During the Salem Witch Trials in 1692, a group of young Puritan girls in Salem, Massachusetts claimed to be possessed by the Devil and accused several women of witchcraft. Hundreds of people were accused and about 20 of them were put to death. Fear and hysteria mounted as outlandish claims were made by the young Puritan girls at the trials. The McCarthy era was another time of paranoia and hysteria in the U.S., but during the 1950s. The term McCarthyism comes from Joseph McCarthy who was a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin. He spearheaded a drive to defeat the infiltration of Communism in the U.S. He claimed over 200 Communists had infiltrated the U.S. but offered no evidence to prove it. There are important learnings from the Salem Witch Trials and the McCarthy era that are applicable
There have been many major events in history that have shaped the way we live today. Two of these events were the “witch hunts” of the Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism. Many similarities exist between the events such as the fear and anger that made its impression upon the communities, but however, contrast prevails between the two, such as the fuel that started the events and the consequences that were faced. The rich controversy imbedded in these topics serves for a greatly impacted history.
"Our job as Americans and as Republicans is to dislodge the traitors from every place where they 've been sent to do their traitorous work."(McCarthy, Joseph R.)
History is known for having ways to replay itself, for example, the Salem Witch Trials and the McCarthy Trials. The Salem Witch Trials were a sequence of hearings and accusations that took place between 1692 and 1693. In these trials over 200 people were accused of having contact with the Devil and around 20 were victims of false accusations and death. The McCarthy trials, extremely similar, a series of hearing were Senator Joseph McCarthy accused the U.S. of allowing communist to have a seat in their government causing over 2,000 government members to lose their employment. Both the McCarthy Trials and Salem Witch Trials display history’s repetitions with the similarities of mass hysteria, the absence of proper evidence, and accused outcasts.
World War I started in 1914, after Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were killed in Sarajevo and continued until 1918. It was a military battle between the Allies (Russia, Romania, France, Italy, British Empire, United States, Serbia, Japan, Belgium, Portugal, Greece and Montenegro) and the Central Powers (Germany, Turkey, Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary). United States was trying to keep a neutral point of view and didn’t enter the war from its beginning but three years later on April 6, 1917. Millions of troops fought during the World War I out of which nine million died and even more got wounded. Even though America was in the war for only a short period of time 116,000 were killed and 204,000 were wounded. As a way of communication during
Hysteria (noun); meaning an exaggerated or uncontrolled emotion or excitement especially among other people. The Salem Witch Trial and McCarthyism’s connections run deeper than what appears on the surface. Joseph McCarthy was a U.S. senator. Joseph was born and raised in Appleton, Wisconsin during the early 1900’s. He was elected in 1946, four years later McCarthy came out publicly stating that there were around 205 communists that have invaded the U.S.. This makes him known for his ways of accusing those without actual factual evidence to prove his suspicions. Both of these incidents have caused a grand amount of hysteria and both happened because of suspicion and personal vendettas and both made a lasting impact on history (Brooks).
Bell witnesses the progression of evil around his own county and the way things have taken a turn for the worse when he says: “This county has not had a unsolved homicide in forty-one years. Now we got nine of em in one week” (216).
TEPCO is facing $23.6 billion (¥2 trillion) compensation cost, and according to a Japan government speaker, "the Japanese government plans to put TEPCO under effective state control to guarantee compensation payments to the people affected by the accident". The paid compensations are for the damages related to the evacuation, damages from harmful misinformation in 2011(approximately ¥1.4 billion), and damages related to restricted shipping of agricultural, fishing, and manufactured products (approximately ¥1.846 billion). The Fukushima disaster displaced 50,000 households in the evacuation zone because of leaks of radioactive materials into the air, soil, and sea. There are an estimated 1,600 deaths happened due to the evacuation conditions. World Health
There are a lot of career related to metabolism, such as viticulturist, biochemical engineer and dietician. I find dietitian as an interesting career. For me to become a specialized dietitian, I need to pursue my study to a higher education level. I will start my studies with grade 11 and 12 Biology of Nelson education in Canadian Pre-University Program. During this foundation, I need to complete grade 12 Biology within four months. After I pass the examination for the grade 12 Biology, I will be awarded a diploma of Ontario Student Transcript (OST) from Ontario Ministry of Education Canada. This is because I already complete the Ontario education curriculum. Then, I can pursue my study either to the local university or to other university outside of my country.
