How did Kennedy’s actions in Southeast Asia set the stage for future conflict?

grigory [225]

Kennedy inherited the problems of Southeast Asia and intended to get the United States out of Vietnam before it escalated further. His death changed that. The result is Southeast Asia is still in conflict and what is happening on the continent today reflects the problems with China, Korea, and Japan.

Think about Laissez-Faire policies. Do you think the owners of these factories would like them? Why or why not?

julsineya [31]

As I understand it, Laissez-faire ideology maintains that the "free market" is the best way to determine what businesses can and should do. This means that businesses, in competition with one another, should be free to determine their paths free from any government rules or regulations. The belief is that the competition among various businesses will ultimately result in the best outcomes for society in general - Adam Smith's "invisible hand". As part of this philosophy, workers should also be free to compete with each other and choose to work wherever they wish and this process will also result in the best results for the workers as well.

However, isn't there a huge assumption in this philosophy? Doesn't the whole justification of this belief depends on the condition that there is perfect competition and that any company and any worker have the equal ability to compete with one another?

What if there is no perfect competition? What if some companies have advantages - due to any of a whole array of reasons - that place them in a non-competitive position vis a vis their competitors? Without perfect competition then other companies are not necessarily able to compete with other companies that have certain advantages. If such a situation exists, then advantaged companies may have the ability to pursue a course that results in their private benefit, but not necessarily to the benefit of society as a whole. The same would apply to workers in that reduced competition among companies would result in decreased leverage for potential employees.

To recap, if the Laissez-faire ideology maintains the best economic policy for society as a whole, and it depends on there being perfect competition on an ongoing basis with minimal government intervention, doesn't it fall apart if there is less than the perfect competition?

Chief Joseph:a. advocated greater federal control of Indians. b. wanted freedom for his people, the Nez Percé. c. was at the Lit

aev [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Chief Joseph wanted freedom for his people, the Nez Perce.

Explanation:

Chief Joseph was the leader of the Indian tribe Nez Perce. He was a supporter of peaceful relations with the Americans, but entered the history of the 19th century as one of the greatest military leaders of the Indians of North America.

After the death of his father in 1871, Joseph became a leader. In 1877, the government, under pressure from white settlers and gold miners, decided to evict the remaining Nez Perce in Idaho in the Wallow Valley. The task was entrusted to US Army General Oliver Howard. The general met with Joseph and other Nez Perce leaders in order to try to reach a peaceful settlement. But the negotiations were disrupted by a clash between several young Indians and some white settlers, with both sides suffering losses. Oliver Howard decided to act by force and began to prepare for a war with the Indians, which became known as the Nez Perce War.

He was defeated, but American military commander Nelson Miles promised the people of Joseph that they would be returned to Idaho to reserve the tribe, but the US government sent them to the Native American Territory. Chief Joseph traveled to Washington twice and did everything to help his people return to the north.

In 1897, Chief Joseph observed that white settlers began to settle on the free lands of the Colville Reservation. Local authorities did not pay attention to this, and he went to Washington. In the U.S. capital, he described the situation to President William McKinley and met with Nelson Miles and Oliver Howard, and in the late winter of 1903, Joseph again took a trip east and, accompanied by General Miles, met with President Theodore Roosevelt.

Chief Joseph died on September 21, 1904 at Colville Reservation, and on June 20, 1905 his remains were solemnly reburied.
