The “drama” of the visit created hype as never seen before.14 The American people believed in the sentimentality of the trip.15 They really thought that this trip would change the course of the whole world forever, which needless to say, it was not. Television turned “what should have been a useful, diplomatic operation into a theatrical piece,” remarked a disgusted writer of the time. He believes that television was used to make the trip more than it was. He thinks that the trip to China was “propaganda-d” into the hearts and minds of the American people to show Nixon as the favorable candidate.16 Gallup polls indicate that the President’s approval rating before the announcement of his trip to China was 40.2%. But after the announcement it rose to 49.7%, an increase of almost ten percent!17 It is clear that the Nixon administration wished for the visit to China to affect the voting preferences of the American people and to make them see their President in a new light.

Diego Cervantes Mr.Olazaba English 11 March 29, 2012 During the great depression there was a lot of poverty because the economy was down and families did not have enough recourses to help support their children . People were drinking alcohol instead of supporting their families, mostly men were drinking. On January 16th, 1919 the 18th amendment of the constitution was ratified, prohibition in the United States was a law. Banning of alcohol only made things worse by increasing organized crime, violence, and corruption among law enforcement officials during the next decade. The 18th amendment contributed to the rise of organized crime because it created a lot of underground business.
... and prohibited children from working more than 10 hours per day, but enforcement was difficult to achieve. 18th Amendment prohibited the use of alcohol. During this time period the saloons were a business with many business operating under their roof. Saloons would serve inexpensive meals, cash paychecks, and rent rooms.

There’s no way America will ever make the use of tobacco products illegal; they mean too much money in government coffers, so to speak. Limiting access to cigarettes, snuff and chewing tobacco so minors can’t buy or shoplift the stuff is fine by me. Publishing companies and other industries didn’t ban smoking inside their facilities because of local ordinances; they did it for savings in insurance costs and a decrease in the number of smoke-fouled computers and smoke-sickened workers. Business owners with any acumen at all have instituted bans with or without the law telling them that they must do so. It’s the economical and prudent thing to
At 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, January 17, 1920 months, the United States of America became a dry nation. The Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution prohibited Americans from manufacturing, selling, or transporting alcoholic beverages, for the next 12 years, 10 months, and 18 days until its repeal on December 5, 1953. (The Prohibition Era, Louise Chipley Slavicek) Many people have different opinions on prohibition and how it shaped our nation, for better or worse. Some people believe it was a noble cause, and many believe it was a big mistake. Prohibition was a mistake because it took away people’s freedom of choice to decide for themselves whether to consume alcohol; people who want to consume alcohol will still be able to make it or purchase from illegal sources; alcohol made from illegal sources pose a threat to the health and safety of the consumer; leads to loss of taxes and jobs; and criminal organizations will profit from prohibition leading to increased illegal activities.
