Answer:

1. Why was the rise of the conservative movement significant?

A.  The moral majority was one group that helped elect Ronald Reagan.

The moral majority was a coalition of christians, especially evangelical christians, who were affiliated with the political party. These conservatives were crucial in the election of Ronald Reagan.

2. Which of these was a goal of Reagan’s conservative movement?

C.  to reduce divisions related to race, ethnicity, or economic situations

That would be the closest answer, but Reagan's conservative movement was actually more concerned with the promotion of conservative policies like anti-abortion and anti-drug policies, and with economic policies like cutting taxes, or regulations.

3. What were the goals of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis group?

D.  to provide counseling and legal assistance, and raise money for those with HIV/AIDS

The Gay Men's Health Crisis group was founded in New York in 1982. It took the name from the Health crisis that gay men were suffering during the 1980s due to the emergence of HIV/AIDS.

4. How did “trickle-down economics” differ from economic strategies used in previous administrations?

C.  It involved cutting taxes for those at the top of the economic ladder.

Tricke-down economics is the idea that wealth obtained by those a the top of the economic ladder, with time, will trickle-down to those at the bottom. Because of this reasoning, the Reagan Administration cut taxes of the rich, and of corporations.

6. Which of these is true about the effects of Ronald Reagan’s policies on Americans?

C.  Reagan’s policies contributed to a decline in living standards for the working class.

Ever since Reagan became president, income and wealth inequality in the United States have risen, and real wages have stagnated. This has reduced the quality of life of the working class in relative terms.

7. Drag the Cold War policies to categorize them as from Reagan’s administration or from previous administrations. Each category will contain two examples.

called the Soviet Union an “evil empire” that was still aggressive - corresponds with the Reagan Administration. Reagan's rethoric against the Soviet Union was particularly aggressive.

used brinksmanship, or policy in which the United States pushed a dangerous issue looking for the best outcome for its side - corresponds to the Reagan Administration.

opposed the spread of Communism in Latin America by supporting other leaders - correspond to previous administrations.

9. What challenges did NATO face in the 1980s?

C.  Aggressive talk between the United States and the Soviet Union intensified.

Reagan's rethoric against the Soviet Union was a lot more aggressive than that of his predecessors.

10. What caused the collapse of the Soviet Union?

D.  economic issues and peaceful demonstrations by Soviet citizens

The Soviet Union entered bankruptcy due to poor economic performance, and citizens from all the republics began to protest and demand for the break up of the union.

11. How did the U.S. public respond to Operation Desert Storm?

B.  The public considered Operation Desert Storm a huge success.

The Operation Desert Storm was very popular with the American public because the U.S. military managed to defend Kuwait from the much larger and aggressive Iraq.

12. What was George H.W. Bush’s approach to issues such as education and drug reform?

A.  Bush believed that a greater police presence and strict rules would reduce the drug problems.

Simora [160]

Answer:

Many people throughout time have wondered about and predicted what the future will hold. It is very interesting to think about what the future will look like, not only in the near future but also in the distant future. As time goes on, and we are able to understand more and get more adventurous when it comes to inventing, it is intriguing to imagine what will happen and how society will change once the world is faced with new circumstances.

John Wilkins, Nikola Tesla, and Isaac Asimov have made predictions about the future. John Wilkins believed that many people would be able to fly in a flying chariot/machine (John Wilkins from A Discourse Concerning a New World and Another Planet, book 1, 1640). We find this to be true because of aerodynamics which have allowed us to build airplanes. Nikola Tesla believed that we would be able to communicate with anyone around the world by using a gadget about as big as a watch (Nikola Tesla, from an interview in the New York Times, Oct. 1909). We find this to be mostly false because not only can we not communicate with people from remote areas but we also don't use anything that small. We do have things we use communicate which are that small, but it is not common. Isaac Asimov believed that we would have machines that would do jobs for us and some would make automeals (Isaac Asimov, “A Visit to the World’s Fair of 2014,” New York Times, Aug. 16, 1964). We find this to be somewhat true because we do have machines that work in factories to help build and manufacture products and goods but we do not have automeals. We may have things like microwavable food and Keurig coffee makers, but nothing as sophisticated as what he is describing.

When making a prediction about the future, it is important to not only think about what kind of things we will be able to do, but also about how we would be able to do it. It is true that we discover new things all the time that allow us to be able to accomplish more, however, it is likely that we will stay the same when it comes to the resources and things we have to make new inventions. Therefore, if someone makes a prediction that does not make logical sense, it will probably not be accomplishable.
