<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.

Ok.... I really hopes this helps!!!!

Think about the relationship between the United States and China today. Do you think it is a positive or negative relationship?
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

It can depend on a multitude of factors such as if we refer to economic ties, then yes I think it is positive, as China provides the US with the labor for US companies to utilize to mass produce their products. By contrast, our geopolitical ties are negative as suggested by conflicting interests and human rights issues that the US calls China out on (such as in Xinjiang where the Chinese had shown to strip the Uyghurs of their freedoms and putting them into re-education camps). A way that we can improve this is by holding more bilateral talks and to discuss about the certain issues that both countries have and working together to foster better relations and build mutual understanding.

What could Great Britain have done to avoid the terrible violence that
marusya05 [52]

Answer: They could have addressed those concerns and could have granted more sovereignty to the colonies and thereby easily averted the conflict. Granting the colonies some form of meaningful representation in London and changing those policies that the Americans resented would have placated many reluctant revolutionaries and defused the most ambitious proponents of independence.
