Cold War/ Civil Rights Exame. Essay 2

Martin Luther King Jr. Was a peaceful right activist. He believed that without violence they could accomplish civil rights. He believed doing the exact opposite of violence, that love would accomplish this because he saw that when people relize all the color folks show is love and peace and the white man realize all they have done is shown hatred, abuse and racism that guilt would take over them. That the white man would realize what he has done wrong and would come to senses that the coloreds are people just like them with equal rights. King Believed that through love, peace and the power of words he could make the black man free.

Huey Newton was part of the Black Panthers, a violent group who look towards violent as the only way of freedom. Not just all violence but smart too, they had set up a food program to feed both black and white kids who had no food, a good meal. This is what put some white people on their side, this group was feeding their hungry kid. Any parent would support a group feeding their child. This was a good manipulation to get people on their side. Huey Believed that peace would not stop the white man from violent aggressions, and racism. He believed they needed to get it by force, to show the white man the the blacks will not tolerate anymore of it. He believed that if we showed violence toward them, they should show violence towards us; to give us our own medicine. Huey Believed the violence would make the black man free.

Malcolm X. was more towards violence in the begining of his journey. He felt that since us whites show violence towards them that they should show violence to us just like Huey Newton. But he then took a journy to Islam to find his true self and once he did he realized that peace is the way to his goal. His perspective then changed form the way of Newton's to they way of Kings.

Cold War/ Civil Rights Exame. Essay 1

When technology started to become more advanced we started to make bombs, put satellites into space. In the 50's and 60's this is an astonishing accomplishment. Once this happened we started a race with the Soviets to become the best with who has more satellites in space; and who's technology is better. Once we figured out how to put them in space, we decided to find out what we could put into them to advance our knowledge of space and earth alike.

This changed history cause now we can use this tech. to spy on people places and things without even going there. We could just send a satellite over to China or Russia or any where else we needed to send one to navigate our men through hostile area, to locate artilary fire, and all kinds of things that would help us. The country with the satellites in the sky will have the power to control the earth.

What's Next

We went to space because we wanted to beat Russia in technology because we were afraid of them having power in space; we believed that we needed to become more powerful than them. We engaged in the space race because we needed to have more tech. in space. I believe it was a waste of time because we could have used the money for better purpose than trying to beat Russia in a race to get satellites that do nothing besides orbit the world. We have starving homeless people that need money but we spent it on space because we needed to be better than Russia. Satellite’s now give us valuable info now a day because we use cell phones, and internet. We have lots of things that run off satellites but back then we had nothing that ran of a satellite we just put it up there to show we can, it had no use to us then like it does now. Yes space exploration is valuable but the satellites didn’t do that back then they were just a limp object in space, they we could monitor, it had no real purpose than to say hey look what we can do.

The next thing we should explore is our planets resources; we need to find better and more plentiful fuels to run off from. A new source of energy for homes, towns and city’s. We should explore the core of our earth to find what’s in there that could actually help us rather than walking on the moon or looking at Mars which does not help us one bit. This planet is what we need to find out more about, we live on it, we use, we need it to survive. We need to explore the deepest and darkest depths of our Earth to find what it really has, or could help us make to better fuel our country.

J.F.K

Dear Grandparents

In history class we have been studying the J.F.K and the assassination. We have been wondering how this affects our lives and the lives of the people who were alive around the time of the event. I would like to ask you a couple of questions on the event to get a first experience of what you felt to help me what it would be like to have this happen if I was alive. So what do you understand of the murder? I myself understood that it took place in Dallas Texas, during a presidential parade when he was shot. What questions do you still have about the murder? I wonder how this could even happen with all the security measures that they go through to make sure it doesn’t happen. What were you inner most thoughts when you saw J.F.K get shot on national TV. My thoughts now are it was very shocking when you see a president get shot. What do you of the lone gunman who shot Kennedy? I think for one it’s a very stupid act, just because you do not like a president or anyone for that matter doesn’t deserve to get shot. But for one man to do this alone is very brave but also very ignorant. What would you think of our president getting assassinated today in this present time? I think it would be devastating to our country, finally getting a decent president and have him get shot before he can help our greatly fallen country. Well I have given you lots to think about so when you read this take your time and really think about the questions I have given you. I put my answeres to those questions right after them on what I know and believe, so tell me what yours is and maybe we can compare them or we could even have the same on certain Q's. well gram and gramp I'll talk to you all later.

Thank you for you time

Sincerely

Blaine Goodrich III
