<span>The Philippines is the only country in southeast asia that has a largely christian country. Freedom of religion and the separation of church and state is guaranteed by the constitution. In an effort to reduce tensions between Christians and Muslims in the southern islands and to answer Muslim autonomist demands, the government established an Office of Muslim Affairs in 1981 and allocated funds for Islamic legal training and for Muslim schools and cultural centers. Part of its role, as of 1999, involved coordinating the travel of pilgrims to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and coordinating diplomatic ties with countries that have contributed to Mindanao's economic development and to the "peace process" with insurgent groups. The National Ecumenical Consultative Committee is a government-sponsored group that encourages interfaith dialogue. Certain Christian holidays are recognized as national holidays.</span>

Explanation: Jimmy Carter was elected as 39th president of America by defeating Gerald Ford. During the election campaign Jimmy Carter asked Americans to vote him because he could restore American's faith in their government after Watergate scandal which was the cause of resign of President Nixon. Carter presented himself as a reformer to the voter who could bring change. He also took advantage of presidential pardon of Nixon by president Ford. This incident helped him to draw the attention of the voter about the weakness of Ford.
So it can be said that restoring the faith to the government after Watergate scandal worked as a key factor for Carter in the campaign.
Hey, that's a great essay prompt. It often happens that when threatened by some threat to our way of life in a democracy, we respond in very undemocratic ways. During the McCarthy years, people's privacy was invaded as accusations about communists and communist sympathizers were aimed at all sorts of people. Many people in the Hollywood film industry were targeted during that time, for instance. But defenders of freedom (including film and television people) fought back against that. We must always adhere to our primary aims as a society -- the rights and liberties of each individual. We don't want to get into "witch hunts" where we suspect our neighbors of evil for no good reason.
Speaking of "witch hunts," the playwright Arthur Miller wrote a really powerful play in 1953, during the Cold War, which focused on the Salem witch trials. He was making the point that what was happening in the McCarthy era (hunting for communists) was another manifestation of the witch-burning craze that had happened at a previous time in history.
<em>Basically the text is explaining that the way Americans level of skill made them unequaled to the rest of the world (mind, that is not a fact because there was a large share of well-working people in the world in this time) . Also it explains that American brain and ability to construct (why is this entire article just bragging about Americans being so much better when that's not 100% true?) was one of the most economic boosting things and they were very productive for that timeframe.</em>
<em>That's my best understanding of the article. (Scholastic really likes to brag about Americans, huh?)</em>
