The Draft and Growing Anti-War Movement

No unread replies. 

No replies. 

This discussion addresses the following outcome:

Compare and contrast public opinion and the anti-war movement associated with the US-Vietnam War with popular opinion of recent US wars (CO#2);

In 1967, public support for the US war effort in Vietnam dropped significantly. Support for the war continued to decline and opposition to the war continued to increase in the years that followed. Opposition to the war was a rallying cry for many young people during this era.

In this discussion forum, we will consider the declining public opinion, the anti-war movement, and what role the draft played in galvanizing opposition to the war among both US civilians and those in the service. Then, we will compare the public attitudes concerning the US-Vietnam War to those of recent US wars.

In your estimation, what were the top four reasons (rank them most important through least important) why public opinion of the war turned in 1967? Provide a brief explanation of each.

Though there was significant domestic dissent concerning the recent US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, this dissent did not seem to manifest itself to the extent that Vietnam Era dissent did. In your estimation, how much of this historical difference is ascribable to there being an all-volunteer fighting force in recent years (compared to a fighting force comprised of both draftees and the enlisted during the US-Vietnam War) and how much is ascribable to other factors? Be sure to also make note of these “other factors.”

his essay:World War II propelled Americans to forfeit and meet up for a common reason, the thrashing of dictatorship and militarism in Europe and Asia. America’s fight for democracy abroad translated into more democracy and equality through the help of African Americans, Women, Japanese Americans, and workers in the United States.

Responding to the requests of African Americans, Roosevelt approved the Committee on Fair Employment Practices to forestall racial separation in business. Five and a half million African Americans relocated north amid the war looking for work and better living conditions. In spite of unmistakable segregation by associations and industry, extreme work deficiencies opened up modern work to minorities. Encouraged by the wartime philosophy of opportunity and popular government, African Americans made the Double V battle to attest dark Americans’ requests for the rights and benefits appreciated by whites. The Nazi belief system of Aryan racial matchless quality made a few Americans ponder their nation’s own particular racial partialities, however dark relocation north and the white response to it touched off racial savagery in American urban areas amid the war. The NAACP and the Congress of Racial Equality requested equivalent rights for dark Americans, indicating the objectives of the war that Americans were occupied with abroad, however had little accomplishment amid the war years.


Women expanded generation and a workforce depleted of a huge number of men and ladies serving in the military implied that the interest for work surpassed the supply. These conditions carried ladies into the modern workforce in new numbers, yet did as such by speaking to conventional sexual orientation parts. Ladies specialists earned more cash amid the war than they had before it, however they kept on encountering separation inside and outside the workplace.


The war brought about an enormous increment in association participation. Despite the fact that laborers guaranteed not to strike amid the war, associations gave them greater capacity to consult for useful contracts and higher wages. In spite of proportioning and deficiencies, uncommon government consumptions for war creation brought thriving to numerous American families following quite a while of gloom period destitution. Unfit to purchase buyer merchandise, for example, tires, gas, or clothes washers, families rather spent their cash on motion picture tickets, music accounts, and different products, prompting a 12 percent expansion in spending for individual utilization. Because of such changes, U.S. riches turned out to be to some degree all the more uniformly appropriated and monetary imbalance declined to a constrained degree.


The internment of the Japanese amid the war was the most egregious case of the infringement of American vote based and populist rules that happened amid World War II. This gathering, which was appeared to demonstrate no specific hazard to the nation, was by the by denied of its property and common freedoms amid the war.

Another thing we can consider are the coordination of the military, principally the US Navy and ladies’ rights. Prior to the war, there were few blacks in the naval force other than in modest or benefit limits. As a result of the war, the vast majority of the male workforce had been drafted and ladies were expected to fill those production line employments. They turned out to be more free. Additionally, numerous moved toward becoming dowagers and expected to help their families. Therefore, post-war, more ladies joined the workforce and looked for better training to wind up an option that is other than a medical caretaker, educator or sister.

We need to recognize that toward the finish of World War II in 1945 the Grand Alliance had no longer good targets. As ahead of schedule as at the Potsdam Conference it worked out that Stalin was thinking about his country’s security by making satellite nations between the USSR and Western Europe. We need to think about that the Soviet Union (USSR) had lost exactly 27 million Soviet residents, bunches of urban areas and towns devastated and enterprises demolished or re-situated past the Ural mountains. Toward the finish of the war, the USSR was the most dictator society anyplace on the substance of the earth. Be that as it may, in the meantime it turned out to be evident that the USA and the USSR were two mammoths that remained for various political esteems. It was a catastrophe: Both nations had no longer the same objectives, they arranged for encounter.

The American culture was sufficiently solid to shield their qualities at home and later for their partners, yet Moscow Washington did no longer go together: The Cold War time frame started, and the two super powers USA and USSR were adversaries, constantly prepared for action.The people groups of the USA and Europe, looking back to those years, could be happy at the limitation of the political pioneers after Stalin passed on in March 1953. After the fall of the Soviet realm the political circumstance turned out to be all the more gently, however different clashes started.

America’s fight for democracy abroad translated into more democracy and equality through the help of African Americans, Women, Japanese Americans, and workers in the United States. World War II propelled Americans to forfeit and meet up for a common reason, the thrashing of dictatorship and militarism in Europe and Asia.

Reading Historical Literacy & Comprehension

/in /by

While the AP World History curriculum technically begins firmly in the Neolithic Era (c. 8000-3500 BCE), it is important to have a base knowledge of the Paleolithic Era, also known as the “Stone Age”. For thousands of years leading up to the Neolithic Revolution, human beings relied on a hunter-gatherer form of existence- a way of life that still exists today in parts of South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia. While hunting and gathering may seem to some today as a brutish existence, it has worked remarkably well and actually enjoyed some advantages over early sedentary farming life. The survival skill set that early humans developed during the Paleolithic Era allowed human beings to spread throughout the globe at a surprising pace. By 12,000 BCE, human beings could be found on six of the world’s seven continents. The purpose of this section is to introduce you to the movement of humans during the Paleolithic period, the hunter-gatherer lifestyle they employed to survive, and the slow transition toward sedentary agriculture during the Neolithic Revolution.

 

You will read a combination of sources and respond to the questions listed below. The questions are designed to make you think critically about what you have read and combine multiple sources to arrive at a single, well-written answer. In other words, you cannot and should not try to hunt down a passage or two to find an answer – you must read and understand the entire material to construct your response.

 

Your response for each question should be 1 to 2 typed pages in length, double spaced with an 12 point font.

Two Questions

 

1. Explain how human technology and social development fostered the rapid movement of people throughout the globe during the latter phases of the Paleolithic Era (c. 60,000 to 12,000 BCE). Be sure to include how developments allowed early hunter-gatherers to cope with various environmental pressures and challenges as they moved from continent to continent.

 

2. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of adopting a sedentary agricultural lifestyle. To answer this question, you need to look at the factors that motivated formerly nomadic peoples to settle down and adopt a sedentary lifestyle. What were some of the benefits? Were there any negative consequences of settling down? How did the social roles of men and women change?

 

Assignment 2: Case of Anna O

/in /by

One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.

Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.

Review the following:

The Case of Anna O.

One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.

Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.

Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).

Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman’s problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.

Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

  • Compare and contrast Freud’s view of the unconscious with Jung’s view and apply this case example in your explanations.
  • On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
  • How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?

For starters, we must understand that positive peace does not mean war, conflict, or control. Positive peace comes when you understand the importance of respecting others and treating them the way you want to be treated. This brings me to the discussion of colonial versus post-colonial state. India is a prime example of what post-colonial state looks like. One thing we do not have to worry about is war or conflict when pertaining to the post-colonial state. What works for one country does not mean it works for the next (Roy, 2016). India, for instance, is a true example of this statement. It appears India tried out a couple of theories that did not work for them like the “crop theory and the germ theory of colonial development” (Roy, 2016, para. 13). India started its roots in international trade before they got to where they are today (Roy, 2016). I call India the Guinea Pig colony because political people wanted to see if there would be any success by providing minimal resources then what other colonies might have. What I call minimum resources is like having a smaller government or free market which makes you wonder if they were playing with the lives of those people as they did not know that low tax per head or anything else would work but they sure took a gamble (Roy, 2016). There are many things that play into the success of India but this perhaps could have been the start of their journey.

When it pertains to Africa, colonialism plays a big part in their development. I do feel sorry for them or for any country, state, colony, etc. that has the government controlling them to the point no man has the authority or a say so in any development that takes place. The government can come in and make any changes allowing these big corporations to come in and dictate how things will run in their country (A new colonialism, 2014). I can see why Africa has no peace and is always at war with each other as I feel this is how they take back their control. “Colonialism is so strong in Africa that these changes will make it easier for big corporations to grab land in Africa and prevent the age-old farmer tradition of breeding, saving and exchanging seeds” (A new colonialism, 2014, para. 5). Yes, maybe people feel that colonialism should have driven India, but I disagree as there is nothing like a sense of peace. Not saying they did not have some struggles but I guarantee their struggles, according to what I have read, was nothing like the struggles of Africa. One thing I did notice is that other countries like Britain drew back from feeding the African government the very things that were causing them to continue making policy changes (A new colonialism, 2014). That is what you call trying to make peace with everything. They definitely were considering feels of others.

This discussion addresses the following outcome:

Examine the ways in which the memory of the Vietnam War has been shaped by official rhetoric and popular culture since the end of the war (CO#1)

Given that the Vietnam War was one conflict within the scope of a broader one (the Cold War), US policymakers from Kennedy to Ford sought to “manage” the image of the conflict. They did this by presenting, to the American people and the world, the war in terms that were commensurate with present objectives. However, since the end of the war, the “official rhetoric” (namely that coming from the President of the United States) has evolved over time. Some historians have argued that the memory of the Vietnam War is so relevant to contemporary aims (whatever they have been through the years) that US officials have worked hard to continue to “manage” the memory of the war. In addition, other forces have helped to shape the memory of the Vietnam War. These forces include popular culture such as films, books, and television, which have all impacted how Americans, as well as others, think of the war. Of course, these influences on the collective memory of Vietnam are significant to the point that the memory of Vietnam has often been used both to support and criticize various policy options in the years since the Vietnam War.

For this activity, you will read the article “Contested Memory: The Vietnam War and American Society, 1975-2001

,” [PDF File size, 254 KB] as well as the final chapter of the Herring text. As you read these selections, consider the following questions in a post of at least 250 words:

How were the ways in which Carter, Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Clinton depicted the Vietnam War similar? How were they different?

In your estimation, how has the “official rhetoric” related to the Vietnam War served contemporary purposes for various presidents?

How has popular culture impacted collective memory of the Vietnam War?

First reply to Joseph

The murder of Emmett Till emphasized all that was wrong with racism in Southern society. The trial of Emmett Till showed to nation the flaws in the court system. Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam brutally kidnapped, beat, and murdered a fourteen year old boy named Emmett Till after he whistled at one of their wives. At their trial the jury was composed of only white males. Despite all of the evidence and eyewitness accounts of the Emmett Till’s murder, the two men were found not guilty after only 67 minutes of deliberation. “Reporters said they overheard laughing inside the jury room. One juror later said: ‘We wouldn’t have taken so long if we hadn’t stopped to drink pop’” (Smith, 2003). The jurors appeared had made there decision on the trial before they even arrived at the courtroom. They did not take the trial seriously and the rapid deliberation showed their lack of care. By law, a jury must consist of your peers unbiased to the situation. However, this was not the case at the Emmett Till trial. This was not uncommon at this time period. Courtrooms in the South were heavily segregated. Blacks did not receive the same rights as whites in the court. Reporters from the Northern states who visited the trial spread the results of the trial across the nation. This court case showed the country the brutality of racism in Southern society and sparked national civl rights movements. Two months after the two men were acquitted, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on the bus, which sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Second reply to Adriana

 The murder of the young boy Emmett Till, whom was only age 14 at the time of this indignant act, was one  created immense impacts across all boundaries in our nation.  And rightfully so, as this was only a child, yet
a victim of societal norms imposed by the dominant racism that existed in the south and in many parts of our country.  Notwithstanding, it was the clear and evident demonstration of injustice that, in my opinion, served as a clear message that resonated across all ethnicities, all genders, and all Families across the world, not just the country.  “Till’s mother said that, despite the enormous pain it caused her to see her son’s dead body on display” (Editors H. , 2009), which as a mother, I can completely relate to. Although’ I can’t fathom the amount of pain one would experience in such a devastating and unjust situation.

And even more chilling was that the men were acquitted from such a heinous crime, despite overwhelming evidence elevating their guilt to unprecedented levels.  But to prove even more clearly the injustice of those days, “on September 23 the panel of white male jurors acquitted Bryant and Milam of
all charges” (Editors H. , 2009).  Knowing these men were guilty!  And to make matters worse, “Only a few months later, in January 1956, Bryant and Milam admitted to committing the crime” (Editors H. , 2009). 

But justice has a unique way of showing itself, as this young man’s death paved the way for that justice in some capacity.  “Coming only one year after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education mandated the end of racial segregation in public schools, Emmett Till’s
death provided an important catalyst for the American civil rights movement” (Editors B. , 2014).  Which to this day continues to exercise significant influence in our legislative branches.

I couldn’t begin to imagine what life was like for African American men, women, and children in those days of evident injustice and discrimination. I am happy to see that we have, to a certain extent, broken down those
barriers on injustice and uncomprehensive behaviors certain people demonstrated.  Not to mention that “nine years later, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, outlawing many forms of racial discrimination and segregation” (Editors B. , 2014).  Which is clearly a direct result of this tragic event in our history.

HIS 101 and 111 Pre-History Paragraph Assignment

 
Lascaux
 

Estimated to be 16,000 years old, this is an image from the Lascaux Cave in Southwestern France near the village of Montignac.  Four teenage boys discovered the cave in September 1940, and for about a decade the site was a major tourist attraction, but the cave was closed to visitors in 1963 in an effort to preserve the fragile ecology of the cave.  It has been a real struggle for the French to preserve the cave and its images intact.  See The Cave of Lascaux.  There is now an exact duplicate available for visitors.  Most of the drawings in the cave are of large animals, and most of the drawings are arranged in comic-strip fashion, from left to right, to tell the story of successful hunts.  Photo Credit.

Discussion Question #1: Explain the controversy surrounding the Fugitive Slave Act. What happened as a result of this legislation?

Discussion Question #2: Was popular sovereignty a fair way of resolving the territorial slavery issue or an act of legislative cowardice?

PLEASE EXPLAIN WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND WHY? (A MININUM OF 125 WORDS) 

                                                    

                                                            CLASSMATE’S POST

#1: The Fugitive Slave Act stated that any runaway slave that was caught would be returned to their rightful owner, even if the slave was to flee to any other states that was against slavery. Because of this in 1850 the Compromise of 1850 would give any future territories the right of voting for being in agreement or against slavery. The states that were already pro slavery were already grandfathered in.

#2: I believe that popular sovereignty was an act of legislative cowardice. Reason being, leaving the issue of slavery into the people’s hands was bound to start war and grudges between states and people. Not every person agreed to slavery and if those people did not they were treated as outsiders. It was an even bigger opportunity for people to discriminate and pass judgment on each other.

1. The sales department tells management that they can increase revenue by 20 percent by increasing sales 20 percent. However, the scheduling department says that to achieve that number of hours, they will have to buy upgraded software for $200,000 that will allow for better scheduling of staff hours between engagements. Management says that there is no need for a new computer program, because to increase capacity and keep the contribution margin and price the same, they can increase capacity by hiring more consultants. Because they are constantly adding new consultants, there are no incremental hiring costs. What happens to profits when we enter a new total number of hours sold to reflect the increase into our model? What happens to the risk at BAH vs. Comfy Chair—do you think the strategy of hiring more consultants rather than investing in new equipment is a higher or lower risk than Comfy Chair’s strategy of investing in equipment? In order to successfully complete the remaining questions, use this information to update the financial model before proceeding to the next question. For each subsequent question, also insert the correct information if you did not answer correctly.
a. Profits increase 63.5 percent, and BAH’s risk is higher.
