A bit of added detail:
I'd like to explain more about one item in the list above -- the policy of "brinkmanship" during the Eisenhower administration.
John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under US President Dwight Eisenhower. Dulles held the office from 1953 to 1959. He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan. Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain communist aggression when it occurred.
Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship." In an article in <em>LIFE </em>magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art." He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
No, I don't think that any of these industries are morally wrong?
As the passage in the Bible says: "the one who is not guilty of nothing can throw the first rock," which menas that nobody has granted us the right to judge.
It is true that there are many industries that are controversial among animal advocacy groups. Some of these include rodeos, horse racing, circuses, hunting,
Many of these companies do not have the proper facilities or the proper care for animals. But that is not the case of all.
Although this is a controversial issue, some of these companies take care of animals and employ hundreds of people that support their families and pay taxes. Furthermore, they fulfill an important function in the entertainment industry.
So my suggestion would be that federal and state regulations could be more strict to protect animals, by closing those industries is not the better option.
The Tet Offensive is considered the turning point in the war for two reasons: first because it almost decimated south Vietnam and it changed how most Americans viewed the war. So, the Tet Offensive occurred during the Vietnamese New year called Tet. A week-long cease fire occurred so the Vietnamese could celebrate this holiday, but north Vietnam had their fingers crossed behind their back and attacked over 100 south Vietnamese cities simultaneously. This was a major loss for the American side because they couldn't recapture the cities for many months afterward. Back in the United states, Americans were seeing the horrors of war on television and this was kind of the smack in the head for many Americans to wonder why are we here? Why are we in Vietnam? President Lyndon Johnson was blamed for this and his popularity plummeted causing him to announce that he would not be running for a second term as president.
