D. The Red Scare

Communists were associated with the color red because of the red flag of the Soviet Union -- thus the "Red Scare." One manifestation of the Red Scare was how people's privacy was invaded. Accusations about communists and communist sympathizers were aimed at all sorts of people.  Many people in the Hollywood film industry were targeted during that time, for instance.  But defenders of freedom (including film and television people) fought back against that.  Those who aimed to protect the rights and liberties of each individual saw the Red Scare tactics as "witch hunts," where we suspect our neighbors of evil for no good reason.

Speaking of "witch hunts," the playwright Arthur Miller wrote a really powerful play in 1953, during the Cold War, which focused on the Salem witch trials. He was making the point that what was happening in the Red Scare (hunting for communists) was another manifestation of the witch-burning craze that had happened at a previous time in history.

Civil Disobedience - Resistance to an unjust<br> idea. Six Principles:
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Civil disobedience is a refusal to obey authority orders or government laws aimed at enforcing a change in policy or some aspect of the political system. The broken law itself may be considered invalid or immoral, or the crime could be a way of pointing out an injustice or other cause. It usually refers to non-violent and passive methods of crime, and in resisting violence this is the disobedient's justification for breaking the law on the land of conscience.

It is a form of protest or resistance that highlights the cause of the disobedient and causes some disturbance, trouble, or waste to the authorities. It is a symbolic act rather than an opposition to the political system and the law as a whole, and the disobedient often hopes to set a moral example by accepting his punishment for breaking the law. By publicly challenging the authorities and drawing his case to the attention of his fellow citizens, his aim is to push the government into action. Some campaigners call civil disobedience a universal philosophy for changing society, while others see it as a tactic to use when there are no legitimate ways to act. In that case, morality underpins the protesters' power, in their absence of political, legal, or economic power.
