“How and why has federalism changed since the 60s?” Since the 1960s ideologies on how much intervention the government should have on states and their own issues have changed as the presidents have changed. Each president has their own idea on how much intervention the government should have on state issues, which essentially means alternating between the different forms of federalism and changing the way the government runs and how much aid they give to states. One reason why federalism has change is that since the 1960's some have stated that New Federalism has been the main objective of the executive and judiciary due to the previous creative federalism. From the 1970s there was an ideological shift, which saw the rejection of liberal values from the 1960s. President Nixon started to present the idea that the federal government was too powerful, and that the states needed to have more power back and begin a form of decentralisation and a return of powers back to the states.
Education vs. Incarceration In today’s society our minority youth are lacking their education because of poor guidance, poverty, and poor decision making. Today every decision they may will have an impact on them for the rest of their lives. Our youth are caught in crossfire of war on drugs and are prosecuted, incarcerated and denied access to education opportunities. The drug war has resulted in the institutionalized persecution of Black, Latino, and Native American young people. More and more young minority men and women are being ushered into the criminal justice system under the guise of fighting drugs.
His new program system people liked to call Reaganomics; he would reduce taxes to for the spur economic growth, using the money supply to help reduce the effects of inflation.

The Vietnam War William B. Conner HIS-135 12/18/2011 Maury Wiseman The Vietnam War During the 1960’s, the years of consensus (1955-1965) were coming to a close and the youth of America were forming the counter-culture in which they were rejecting many of the fundamental values of American society set by the previous generations. (Churney, 2011) During this era in American history the counter-culture was growing and the youth of America became obsessed with the aspect of individuality or finding oneself. During this period the youth, or younger generation, was not content to accept the issues set before them by the government or society, the knowledge that things need to change and the willingness of college students to voice their opinions and try to make changes was a key factor in ending consensus in the United States. This unrest was heighted by events such as the Civil Rights movement, Gay Rights, Feminism, and the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War only seemed to pour fuel on the fire burning in the hearts of the American youth; a major connection with student unrest and the Vietnam War was the draft.
CHIEF DEFENDS CONTINUED EFFORT TO CRACK DOWN ON ROWDY PARTIES - This article employs stereotyping by ageism The very opening paragraph of this article employs a stereotype by ageism. By stating that “student rowdiness is declining”, it suggest that all the parties and rowdiness are cause by students. Society already has a negative view on students that they all party and get intoxicated and by writing an article like this it adds fuel more belief to that myth. These parties could easily be started by non-students which the author of this article should have stated. TAKING AIM AT TEEN HOODLUMS -THIS ARTICLE EMPLOYS STEREOTYPING BY AGEISM.
Criminal law was beginning to be seen as a means to advance special interests or to impose morality on others. Conflict theory shares some similarities with labeling theory. They are similar in many respects. For example, Becker is considered a labeling theorist but wrote about the criminalization of marijuana use as an abuse of government power. At the same time, the radicalization of academia led many to revisit Marxist theory.
The 1960’s was an era full of political turmoil that led to the development of a variety of social movements aiming to upset the perceived injustices of American politics, society, and life. Many of these groups were formed and flourished on college campuses. Students for a Democratic Society, SDS, was one such group, representing of the New Left. SDS was disturbed by a political system waging an unconstitutional war in Vietnam, viewed as imperialistic in nature, and critical of domestic policies that harbored racism and economic inequality. As SDS grew, the Vietnam War and American social strife raged on with progress seeping in at a nearly undetectable rate.
Stonewall: A Revolution Serving as the battleground for a cultural revolution, the young generation of America in the 60’s and 70’s found themselves challenging the ideas of the conservative government they lived under. What can best be described as a time of discovery and questioning, advances in the civil rights movement as well as the conflicts in Vietnam seemed to divide the nation. Within these events, America saw the rise of another revolution brewing, one that had started long before but continued to get pushed aside: that of equal rights for homosexuals. The Stonewall Riots are often cited as the beginning of the equality movement, however history tells a somewhat different story; a story in which the Stonewall riots are more of a plot twist as opposed to being an opening scene. However, these riots drastically changed the fundamental ideas and goals of the gay rights movement.
It was a symbolic way to detach oneself from the normal ideals of society while attracting attention to a larger movement; in most cases political. Examples such as the Hippies drawing attention to the Vietnam war and the overall social unrest presiding in the United States in the 1960’s, to the Punks with their disappointment towards the government and the turbulent socio-economic climate of the late 1970’s proves such a point. Yet, since the dawn of the post-modern world, new youth cultures have attempted to take earlier subculture movements from the past and acquire pieces to
Milk, Gus Van Sant 1a) The film Milk portrays an important political history in America against the homosexuals in the 1970’s, seeing this film and the struggles that homosexuals had to fight for their human rights and political equality makes myself, who’s not sensitive about the issue, change my political sensibilities. 2a) -1 The ignorance about homosexuality has become more exposed as they described that being gay could get them fired, beaten up, or even killed. -2 To plan on having to root out every homosexual, simply describes a person who is insecure and cannot accept homosexuality. -3 A debate regarding the Proposition 6 between Supervisor Harvey Milk and Senator John Briggs indicates that Proposition 6 is more on hating the gays, rather than the concern for the children they are “trying” to protect. 3a) -1 When the homosexuals along with the heterosexuals were rioting for their social and political view.
