"The second “decline” of the U.S. economy took place in the 1970s and 80s. America’s international economic position fell markedly by the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s. In 1970, the export trade of the six countries of the European Community accounted for 27.6% of the world total, more than doubling that of the United States (13.7%). The figure for Japan was 6.2%. In 1971, the United States suffered from a trade deficit, though the amount was small ($2.2 billion). Shortly, it rose to $6.8 billion in 1972, and since then, it occurred almost every year, which was totally different from what was before the 1970s. The case for Japan was just the opposite. Not only Japan experienced fast increase of its export trade but it also earned a surplus of $300 million in 1965 for the first time since the end of World War II. Its surplus increased annually to reach $5.17 billion in 1972, almost as much as the deficit ($6.8 billion) suffered by the United States in the same year. As regards the world gold reserve, the United States accounted for 29.9% of the total in 1970, which was much less than the European Community (36.9%). The position of the US dollar, though remaining the world’s principal reserve currency and settlement currency, had been clearly weakened, and that of the Deutsche mark and Japanese yen markedly risen. The “dollar shortage” in the initial years after World War II gradually became “dollar oversupply”. This eventually led to the dollar crisis in the early 1970s. In 1971, the United States suspended the exchange of US dollars for gold, and various countries began to implement the floating exchange rate system. The Bretton Woods system centered on gold thus collapsed. This was an important symbol for America’s “decline”."

Answer:
World War II was a devastating event that greatly impacted the world we know today. During the time of the war, singular groups of peoples, most famously the Jewish people of Germany and its surrounding areas, were taken to concentration camps and often killed. However, many other Germans did not fight back at the horrors being committed in their country. It is my belief that this was because they were afraid. Speaking up for those being persecuted could lead you to the same fate, and everyone feared for the lives of themselves and their families. They tried to protect themselves as they waited for other countries to free them from a place where they had almost no rights. While I do believe they should have spoken up, this could have lead to even more devastating effects that could have changed the course of history. If they had spoken up, the war may have been greatly reduced as the Nazis would not have had as much power as had existed when WWII finally did pick up speed. However, because of how dangerous it was, I doubt I would have been able to speak up for those being persecuted, knowing it could end in the same fate for me and my family. However, in modern times it is much more important to speak up in seeing increased hostility toward a minority group because we do not want to lead to the same effects as WWII, which the world is still struggling to repair from. Instead, we should speak out, starting campaigns such as the Black Lives Matter endeavor that grew rapidly in 2020. We need to make sure our voices are heard and that the effects of WWII never need to happen again.
