The counter culture and the culture?

If you lived during the 1960's, what would life have been like for you? Would you choose to be part of the culture or the counter-culture? I think i would choose to be part of the counter culture. But not a hippie more like an activist and stand up for my rights. I wouldn't agree with the life style people in America assumed was the "American dream", I would want a future. Have a job and not have to relay on others to get food on the table. Everyone has a different dream and that would be mine, to be a strong successful women. Back then they didn't allow many woman attend college. It was more for the men as the women stayed at home and attended things. But i highly would disagree with that and make a statement by protesting or something.

Maybe they'll relate to the song and find words that catch their attention.
So they can have a little insight in the war and be more aware of what happened. A song can clarify a lot for people. Messages get out stronger and louder by putting your message in a song that people can chant and sing. Music has a big influence in the world.

The ideal Family of the 1960's

The ideal American family that people thought represented America well was
an upper middle class. Who was usually white and had a stay at home mom while the father worked. They thought it was best for the mother to attend the children than work. They cooked, cleaned, and took care of the home. They represented men more than woman. Other genders weren't as represented as well like Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Ect. Not many shows had other ethnicity's on television.

Where Does Racism Come From?

Racism comes from ignorance and stereo typing. It's usually by bad experiences with an other race or sometimes your own. There for judging the rest with your encounters with a particular person. Sometimes racism comes from parenting your kids to believe that a certain group of ethnicity is bad. Kids are very gullible when they're young and there taught to obey their elders. So of course they'll start loathing at an early age and their hatred with progress over time.

what can we learn about Cold War?

Write a paragraph reflection explaining what America could learn from the Cold War.

The cold war started many inventions and advanced our technology. We should definitely learn from the errors we committed. How they take it to the next level and how competitive everyone can be. But the cold war taught everyone many things.

freedom or safety hmm?

In a paragraph, which is more important: freedom or safety?

They're both extremely important but theres always setbacks with safety like for example school.
They limit our freedoms for safety and in some situations it's not fair. I would want more freedom than
worrying about us all the time. Being free is such an important concept it's the main reason for wars.
If it's that important for people to die for it i would choose freedom over safety any day. Because i know I'll have a choice between wrong and right. With no freedom and nothing but rules they'll choose for you.
It takes a person to mess up so they can properly learn what their mistake was.

What does it mean to me

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." -President John F. Kennedy

It got people thinking in how they can improve where they lived. America gave so much to them that it was time for them to give back. So it opened the people's eyes a little more to the reality of the situation. That's what that quote means to me. It makes me think about how much I've benefited from living here.

If America goes down I go down with America. His saying made people work a little harder I guess.

Guatemala & the United Sates company

They should have sought out the plan better but through out the years we will make mistakes that effect all of us. Hopefully we'll start being wise and start using what we've learned over the years as a country. We should have been more prepared for the impossible. It's sad to see people perish and have yet another catastrophe occur.
Maybe at the time it seemed like a good idea. That's how all of that starts with than idea than it progresses into a thought a voice and finally an action.

Videos 1-3

Video#1 i think that the video is informing about their bombs/rockets ect.
How Iran is creating new explosives and they seem like they've given much thought
to it all.
Video#2 he traps people with the things he says like saying if you don't value freedom you wouldn't want to go to war. And indeed he wants to go to war. Some speculate that he wants to be remembered in history. Or he wants to cash in with their oil.
Video#3 The president in Iran seemed a little annoyed in the interview. Raising his voice in some of the questions that were threw at him.
