The major goal of the Social Security Act was to provide support and assistance to people who needed it the most, such as the unemployed, the elderly, the children and the people who had any kind of disability.
Some of the projects and initiatives that were developed since the Social Security Act include the disability insurance, child welfare benefits, old age pension and the unemployment system.

The U.S. presidential election of 1960 came at a decisive time in American history. The country was engaged in a heated Cold War<span> with the Soviet Union, which had just taken the lead in the space race by launching the Sputnik satellite. The rise of Fidel Castro’s revolutionary regime in Cuba had heightened fears about the spread of communism in the Western Hemisphere. On the domestic front, the struggle for civil rights and desegregation had deeply divided the nation, raising crucial questions about the state of democracy in the United States.At a time when the need for strong leadership was all too obvious, two vastly different candidates vied for the presidency: </span>John F. Kennedy, a young but dynamicMassachusetts<span> senator from a powerful New England family, and Richard Nixon, a seasoned lawmaker who was currently serving as vice president. With little more than a single unremarkable term in the U.S. senate under his belt, the 43-year-old Kennedy lacked Nixon’s extensive foreign policy experience and had the disadvantage of being one of the first Catholics to run for president on a major party ticket.
