Answer: America was during the Cold War.

Explanation:

The actions taken by Senator McCarthy are the product of fear of an “outpouring” of communism in the state. And if many agree that his actions were exaggerated one should not forget that it was a period of the Cold War. It was a period of conflict between two political ideologies, the conflict of East and West. It is almost impossible to predict a similar scenario in the future. Democracy has so far turned out to be the most progressive political system in the history of humanity, and communism has long since turned out to be a “failed” political doctrine.

2. How did religious competition affect the colonization of North America?​
Andreas93 [3]

During the eighteenth century, Spain, France and Britain controlled land in North America. Spain controlled Florida. France was powerful in the northern and central areas. Britain controlled the east. All three nations knew they could not exist together peacefully in North America. The situation could only be settled by war.

The powerful European nations already were fighting each other for control of territory and riches all over the world. These small wars continued for more than one hundred years. They were called King William's War, Queen Anne's War, King George's War and the French and Indian War.

The French and Indian War was fought to decide whether Britain or France would be the major power in North America. France, its colonists and their Indian allies fought against Britain, its colonists and their Indian allies.

The war began with conflicts over land.

Amherst was successful. The British defeated the French. They changed the name of Fort Carillon to Fort Ticonderoga. It became an important military center in the French and Indian War. Fort Ticonderoga would also become important later, during America's war for independence.

The Battle for Quebec was the turning point in the conflict. Britain and France signed a treaty to end the war in seventeen sixty-three. The British had won. They took control of the lands that had been claimed by France.

Answer (a), (b), and (c). (a) briefly describe one specific historical similarity between mass media in the 1920s and in the 195
SashulF [63]
(a) The 1920s and the 1950s were a completely different era. Whereas the 1920s saw the great depression shock the US, the 1950s was a time of renewed confidence and optimism.

However, in both these times, the Mass Media played a huge role in shaping public opinion and driving the nation through the decade.


(b) The biggest difference was that of the medium of media. While back in 1920 Radios and silent movies played a major role, the 1950s saw the emergence of Television in everyone's home. Video became a powerful medium

(c) In the 1920s' during the great depression, the media played a historical role in inciting hatred and blaming others for the depression. Many radio stars openly called the depression a result of Jews, while others targeted immigrants. This shaped American cultural life for the coming decade.

In the 1950's, the Media and Television news, played a constructive role, promoting American freedoms, optimism  and opportunities.

Can someone edit this and add more sentences or edit it.. this is about would u rather be a patriot or loyalist. Also can u add
kenny6666 [7]

Answer

i added a few things and deleted some oh and i added a conclusion

Explanation:

both Loyalists and Patriots fought for a similar thing... equality. I would go for the Patriots. Patriots wanted more than equality, they wanted freedom. They no longer wanted to follow British rules, they wanted a change for good. The Patriots wanted everybody to have a different view on the rules, and all agree upon them

Since I am a woman, in 1775 women did not have all the rights we do now. We were practically forced to stay home was not normalized to join workforce, all because of gender.  Patriots fought for freedom and equality, including gender equality. So that women would have more juties in society other than wash clothes and tend to their husbands and children. I agree that women should be able to make their own choices and as if for everyone. Freedom is needed for the world to thrive. The patriots believed that freedom was an essential part for their revolution.  

I believe in fairness, equality, and most of all, being able to have a choice. I have goals in my life, as everyone does. I wouldn't be able to accomplish my goals without the freedom to do so.  The bare necessities. It is unjust that some people would have an upper hand just because of his or her skin color, gender, identification, and financial status. It makes the world unfair and not worth living for. Everyone should be able to enjoy life that the universe has given us.  

As a 14 year old girl, life would be hard in 1775, with no freedom, equality, or choice. Many young girls during this time never got the chance to live their lives fully because they were young girls. My financial status isn't at its highest right now, but that is ok, because i know i still have potential. I will be able to work soon and figure out my own problems. Without freedom, equality, and justice, i wouldn't be able to achieve greatness.

In conclusion, I would rather be a patriot so i can keep fighting for my personal greatness I have a lot ahead of me, i can't let a higher being restrict me from crossing my own finish line. I chose freedom., respect, justice. I choose my future.

He also included in his theory that the government should be ruled by people because during his time, it was very difficult to have this kind of government on an individual basis.  The government which is ruled by the people is the government that the United Stated now practiced, and other parts of the world.  This type of government is governed by the means of voting system, which is also about democracy.</span>
