How did the My Lai incident shape public opinion of the war in Vietnam?

History
1 answer:
faust18 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm going to ask you a question. It is not a very nice one. How would you feel if you found out that your next door neighbor's son was a mass murderer?

I don't know how public opinion divided even though I was in the Unites States when it happened. Some people believed it was the tragic result of war it self.

Some were shocked: they thought of the American Soldier as a noble creature incapable of such brutality, such thoughtless and immoral murder.  The truth likely lies between these two points of view. Certainly President Nixon did not think William Calley's actions warranted the death penalty and that is a very telling observation. If ever there was a political animal that could assess public opinion and act on it, that person would be Richard Nixon. I think the die was set long before My Lai.

Write a newspaper article for Ida B. Wells’s newspaper about lynching in the South during the Jim Crow era.
ValentinkaMS [17]

The oldest of eight children, Ida B. Wells was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Her parents, who were very active in the Republican Party during Reconstruction, died in a yellow fever epidemic in the late 1870s. Wells attended Rust College and then became a teacher in Memphis, Tennessee. Shortly after she arrived, Wells was involved in an altercation with a white conductor while riding the railroad. She had purchased a first-class ticket, and was seated in the ladies car when the conductor ordered her to sit in the Jim Crow (i.e. black) section, which did not offer first-class accommodations. She refused and when the conductor tried to remove her, she "fastened her teeth on the back of his hand." Wells was ejected from the train, and she sued. She won her case in a lower court, but the decision was reversed in an appeals court.

What are the effects of watching televison on Adolescents
Vitek1552 [10]
Usually, kids at this age are easily influenced by anything they see, either in their life, or on TV. So they will often try to imitate what happens on TV, whether consciously or unconsciously, that is not that important. Also, many studies have dealt with this question, and whether or not violence on TV actually causes violence of people in real life, but the results were always inconclusive.
