Why did President Ronald Reagan encourage Congress to increase defense spending

History
1 answer:
Basile [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Specifically, Defense Department officials said that if Soviet forces were to invade the Persian Gulf region, the United States should have the capability to hit back there or in Cuba, Libya, Vietnam or the Asian land mass of the Soviet Union itself.

Explanation:

"Funds for the European front and for strategic nuclear forces will rise, but the sharpest increases will go to equipment, supplies, military construction and airlift and sealift capability for the Rapid Deployment Force. The philosophy behind this, according to senior Pentagon officials, is that the United States must not simply be able to respond to an attack by the Soviet Union wherever it occurs, but also be able to strike back at areas of Soviet weakness."

Uno de los rasgos característicos de las ciencias sociales en nuestros días es la conciencia generalizada de crisis y, en particular, la crisis de las divisiones disciplinarias existentes, El caracter insatisfactorio de los límites reconocidos entre las distintas especialidades científicas se pone de manifiesto por los esfuerzos que se realizan dentro de cada disciplina para rebasar dichos límites e incorporar teorías, métodos o puntos de vista procedentes de disciplinas limítrofes, estableciéndose así relaciones que hasta hace poco eran totalmente insospechadas. La evolución reciente de nuestra ciencia tras el descubrimiento del amplio campo de la geografía de la percepción y el comportamiento y el establecimiento de relaciones entre geógrafos y psicólogos constituye un ejemplo de ello, entre los muchos que podrían aducirse.

Es cada vez más evidente que se impone una reorganización de los campos del saber,y de los límites entre las distintas ramas especializadas de la ciencia. Un cierto número de científicos tienden a creer que se hace preciso una liquidación de muchas de las ramas científicas hoy existentes con vistas a una reorganización de los campos disciplinarios, para hacer posible una más libre y más imaginativa reflexión científica en la resolución de problemas concretos planteados.

En una situación como la presente, puede resultar particularmente fructífero el estudio del proceso de institucionalización de las ciencias. Si llegamos a comprender los factores que condujeron a la institucionalización de unas ciencias y al fracaso de los embriones de ciencias que podían facilitar marcos alternativos de desarrollo científico quizás estaríamos en condiciones de comprender su evolución posterior y de poder proceder más fácilmente a una reorganización de los campos del saber.

Desde esta perspectiva nos parece que resulta particularmente interesante una reflexión sobre el proceso de  institucionalización de la geografía y sobre la aparición de la comunidad científica de los geógrafos. Pero el análisis de los orígenes y evolución de esta ciencia y de la historia del pensamiento geográfico no debe hacerse con una intención apologética -como es corriente en las historias de la geografía y, de hecho, en la mayor parte de las historias de las diferentes ciencias- sino que debe realizarse para plantear problemas generales que son relevantes para las distintas ciencias sociales, a las que los geógrafos pueden aportar el conocimiento y experiencia que tienen de su propia ciencia.

Why was Lewis and Clark's expedition more valuable than Pike's?
nataly862011 [7]
I found this on this site hope it helps

When Napoleon needed money, he sold Jefferson the Louisiana Purchase, which he had acquired when he conquered Spain. To find out what he'd just purchased, Jefferson sent Merriweather Lewis and William Clark to explore it. It covered an area from Louisiana northward to Missouri and across the biggest part of the Great Plains and Northwest. The team which went with them included such diverse people as Sacajawea, a Shoshone Indian and her baby Lewis's slave, French trappers, woodsmen, and other interpreters. Lewis concentrated on cataloging what they found, such as the various Native American tribes, animals, and plants, and mapping the region, while Clark was the woodsman who led the expedition. They went through many hardships, though miraculously only one member of the expedition died over the several years they were gone. At one point they were starving in the Rocky Mountains--there was not enough fat on the deer they shot to keep them alive. They found an Indian tribe to barter with, but the chief refused to deal with them until Sacajawea walked in--she was his sister, who had been kidnapped from the tribe at the age of 5! Needless to say, they got their food. They made it to the Pacific Ocean, where they then split into two groups, one of which took a more southerly route back.
