History

Well for one, there was the idea that Communism was a direct threat to Democracy itself. That the rise of Communism would be the downfall of Democracy. As well, there was the fear that Communist countries would align with each other, the threat of nuclear war was already a huge scare and as such an alliance would have been seen as a threat to the US.

Answer:

<h2>The Red Scare</h2><h3>(technically, the First Red Scare)</h3>

Explanation:

What historians refer to as the first Red Scare occurred from 1919 to the early 1920s in the United States, following the Bolsvhevik Revolution which brought communism to power in Russia.   The Bolsheviks (meaning "the Majority") were the communist faction that led a successful overthrow of the regime of the tsar in Russia in 1917.   They weren't a "majority" in Russia, but they were the dominant group within the Russian communist movement.  Civil war in Russia followed during the next years, from 1917 into the early 1920s, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1922.  There was fear in the United States (as there was elsewhere in the world) that communism would begin to spread further, beyond Russia.  Attorney General Mitchell Palmer used that fear as an excuse to arrest suspected radicals in the United States.

The more common reference to "The Red Scare" usually refers to what historically was the second Red Scare, from the late 1940s to late 1950s in the United States.  Following World War 2, as the Cold War developed and the Soviet Union was gathering allies, there was even greater fear -- and fear-mongering -- in the United States about the threat of communism.   The Second Red Scare was when  The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was created and when Senator Joseph McCarthy began a campaign of accusations against suspected communists in various sectors of American life.

An individual who uses intuition to perceive information
inysia [295]
In Myers-Briggs test perspective, an individual’s personality can be best illustrated by the different combinations of the four preferences: Extraversion and Introversion, Sensing and Intuition, Thinking and Feeling, Judging and Perceiving. Extraversion is focused on our environment while Introversion is dealing with our minds. Sensing gets data through the senses while Intuitive preference interprets these raw data to further his understanding. Thinking is making decisions with logic and reason while Feeling decides on their value, beliefs and morales. <span>Judging is more being order and neat while Perceiving is on spontaneity and open-mindedness.</span>
