The Second Red Scare In1945 when world war two had ended due to Japan surrendering, the United States and soviets had become the two new superpowers. They were fighting so much that it created the cold war at the end of the war. During this war the soviets wanted to spread communism and the United States wanted to contain it. This time period was known as The Second Red Scare (ohiocentralhistory.org). Truman hastily enacted plans to contain communism in America after seeing that Communist in China had almost full control of country (slideshare.net).
This shows that violence was part of the Communist rule, and it was used in order to get their way. In an attempt to tighten Chinas political control, the ‘three anti-movement’ was introduced in 1951. This targeted the areas of waste, corruption and inefficiency. A year later, this expanded into the ‘five anti-movement’ which was intended to stimulate the economy by attacking; industrial sabotage, tax evasion, bribery, fraud and theft of government property. These anti-movements were the start of the political party hatred, in which it became clear that China was to be turned into a one party state.
In 1958 the Great Leap Forward was a Chinese policy designed to start an industrial revolution across China. In 1956, Khrushchev gave his notorious secret speech where he openly criticised Stalin’s policies and methods. Mao took this as a personal attack against him. The Great Leap forward was shared many similarities with Stalin’s 5 year plans in Russia. Khrushchev, by denouncing Stalin, was also criticizing the Great Leap forward and, even more dangerously, Mao himself.
When comparing the "Red Scare" in America in the 1950s to the Salem Witch trials in America at the end of the 1600s, some similarities are obvious. Both events created hysteria by stirring up people's irrational fears. The "Red Scare" refers to the fear of communism in the 1950s. This was actually the second "Red Scare." The first took place earlier and referred to the fear that a Bolshevik revolution would take place in America.
There are as many people who advocate for pro gun laws as the people who are opposed, which is the reason why gun control has become one of the most controversial topics as of right now. America is truly split between those who advocate for gun control and those who are opposed. In this controversial debate, background checks are another point to consider. Background checks are defined as “checks on any private transfers of guns” (West Coast Publishing 11). This similarly debated topic is a large part of the gun control debate.
This was achieved by means of brain washing. The fear of brainwashing came about around World War II when there were many anti-communist as well as prejudice feelings. During this time when American prisoners were captured by Korea, it was believed that they were subjected to this form of torture. Some prisoners actually denounced their citizenship and took on Communist ideals, this makes many weary as to what brought on this great change that would abruptly cause someone to change their mind to something much more radical. Many people thought that while they were held captive, the Korean officials used methods of brainwashing to carry out their agendas.
Why did the US become so deeply involved in the Korean War in the years 1950 – 1953? It has been argued that the US became very deeply involved in the Korean War in the years 1950 to 1953. Factors such as the Truman doctrine, the domino theory and China’s fall to communism with Mao are all reasons for the US becoming involved in the war in Korea. The main factor for the US becoming deeply involved in the war was the domino theory, as it caused the release of the Truman doctrine and caused the USA to fear the fall of Japan, which is why they got so deeply involved in the war. China falling to communism caused great fear to spread across America as they worried Japan would be next in line to adopt the communist ideology.
The majority of people would consider the body to still be important following death but some people would not consider it to be imperative at all. We often wondered what would happen to our body after we depart this life, but what would we actually think if we knew some of our body going to be utilized as an experiment? A lot of us would just consider the idea of our body being manipulated just really crucial. In the “Cadaver Who Joined the Army” they were using dead bodies to test bullet proof vest. The reason why they want to make the bullet proof vest over, so that it can be “thick and unyielding enough to stop bullet without making it so heavy and hot and uncomfortable so that officers won’t wear it” (Roach, 162).
This novel is more Dimmesdale’s tale than Hester’s, some reviewers argue, since it traces his growth as an individual willing to accept responsibility for his actions. As Author Dimmesdale lives with the sin he has committed, he grows to realize how important the truth and accepting responsibility is. Author Dimmesdale’s personal journey leading to his confession is marked by several related emotions. Upon falling ill Dimmesdale publicly accepted praise from the colonists for his holy sacrifice even though privately he knew his sickness was caused by his sin. Trying the fight through this deception his illness becomes more apparent and Dimmesdale begins to see that a confession is eminent.
A various amount of self-defense laws have changed over the years, but none of them have gotten as much attention as the "Stand Your Ground Statute." This law is a very controversial issue because it takes away the, "Duty To Retreat" prior to the use of deadly force for self-defense. This has raised concerns for the public who are not in favor of using deadly force in the first place. While many opponents want to abolish the "Stand Your Ground Statute", I believe that it is an essential law that should be kept in our society in order to protect the innocent people who have no other option than to exterminate the threat he/she, or the family have encountered. (A1): “Stand your ground law” provides protection for the victim who had no other choice than to use deadly force.
