Wright Mills meant “cheerful robots'' by the Americans were not exercising their right to freedom and just being like robots
<u>Explanation:</u>
Wright Mills was a sociologist and always stood for equality in the society and to improve the conditions of the society. In the year 1959, he stated the words of America people being cheerful robots and by stating this he meant that the people of the United States of America were being like robots who were only listening to the officials of the government.
They were not exercising their right to question the official. They were just simply listening to what the government was saying or doing for them or not questioning the employers. Freedom of choice was not being exercised.
Because they knew they could do more and they would work because they knew they were getting money
A is the correct answer.
The Allies declared after the Potsdam Summit that the only surrender they would accept from the Axis powers was an unconditional surrender, that is, one without any conditions attached it to be the surrendering party.
Truman was fully briefed about Japan's resolve and had to weigh that in deciding where and how to force Japan into an unconditional surrender. If they had not dropped the bomb, preparations were being made to land an invasion force.
It means peace without a war and it could be viable if people used documents and words to solve problems instead of violence
