Discuss the role of Hollywood in teaching, or "misteaching" American history.

History
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
7 0

Many people rely on movies to learn about historical events, but what they're not really taking into account is that Hollywood's main purpose is to generate blockbusters and revenue.

Firstly, one problem that "historical" movies have is that they're not usually accurate and there's fiction mixed with reality.

Also, many movies can be biased regarding some specific events that happened in the past, so people who watch those movies don't get to see what really happened, they just see a biased version of it.

There are stereotypical depictions in movies that are not completely true, for example cowboys or immigrants.

So, only watching movies to learn about events that happened in the past is not enough bacause dates and places could be wrong, there could be biased movies and sometimes fiction exaggerates the role or identity of historical figures. Movies should be watched as entertainment and to have a good time.

The Supreme Court justices are more willing to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional than to strike down presidential action
TEA [102]
In general, you can look at the Supreme court checking congress (by overturning unconstitutional laws), congress checks the president (through investigation committees, and eventually potential impeachment) and the president checks the Supreme court (by appointing justices). There are some smaller checks that run counter to this order (like the President can veto congressional bills), but they're much more minor powers. Most of the time, the "checking" of presidential power by the supreme court happens by the court striking down laws passed through congress that the president has thrown a considerable amount of political weight behind (think many of FDR's new deal programs, some of which were struck down by the court. Obamacare also narrowly had some of it's components struck down by the court). The Supreme court can strike down executive orders that are unconstitutional. President Trump's muslim ban, for instance, had some of it's elements stricken down by the court in just the last month.
