<span>Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American politician who served as U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He is known for alleging that numerous Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry, and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics that he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today, the term is used in reference to what are considered demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.

In what way was the ideology of patriarchy reinforced by protestant doctrine?
steposvetlana [31]
<span>The ideology of patriarchy is an ideology that is based on the belief of giving the man the power to lead a family with the highest authority, maintaining a state superior to that of women. The Protestant ideology is based on the belief of Christianity that separated from Catholicism to undertake a set of beliefs that are based only on the teachings of Jesus. Here the Patriarchate reinforces the Protestant belief because it supports the belief that man is the authority in the home and in a Christian organization.</span>
