The correct answer is true.
At the beginning of the firefighting practice in the 19th century, fire departments were considered as social organizations within the community they were located on. Being a firefighter was voluntary work and being a member was considered to increase your social status in your community. However, due to the "voluntary nature" of these institutions, there was an initial lack of organization in many of them. This led to low efficiency in the response to fires during the early years of firefighting.
<span>Mixed market economies focus on preserving as much freedom to make economic choices as possible. Governments in these economies have limited involvement in managing and regulating the economy. In contrast, command economies are focused most on preserving and requiring equal opportunities, which means governments that greatly regulate the economy. More economic systems are geared toward offering producers and consumers the freedom to make economic choices, so mixed market economies are more common in the world today.</span>
Here is information that you could use to argue either side of this debate.
Agree
- One could argue that Harry Truman played a significant role in the Red Scare due to his speech to Congress regarding the Truman Doctrine. In this speech, he asks Congress to give financial assistance to countries like Greece and Turkey. He discusses how the fate of these countries, and other ones all over Europe, rest in the fate of the US. If the US does not help these countries, communism can take over. This could lead to repression and hard economic times for millions of people.
Disagree
- Even though he created the Truman Doctrine, Truman did not scare up nearly as much fear as Joe McCarthy. McCarthy accused hundreds of people of being communist, played a significant role in the growth of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and used fear tactics to scare individuals. Truman was not nearly as extreme in his fight against domestic communism.
