Prejudice arises when a large number of people decide to believe and promote an incorrect and harmful concept about a group of people. Within this context, we can say that MacCarthy was not the only one to blame for the Red Scare of the 1950s.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Senator MacCarthy was one of those most responsible for the fear of communism, which occurred in a generalized way in the country in the 50s.
  • This dread was so intense, that this era is known as the Red Scare or era of McCarthyism.
  • Although Senator MacCarthy was the representative face of this moment, he was not the only one responsible for spreading this fear in society, as the American media and other politicians reinforced this idea.

MacCarthy promoted controversial speeches and spurred the indictment and punishment of people suspected of communism. These speeches were stimulated by the media, causing unjustified prejudice and a wave of oppression and unfounded accusations.

In addition to MacCarthy, other senators and politicians embraced this prejudiced concept against communism and encouraged laws, speeches, comments, and other activities that gave Red Scare strength. Some of these politicians were Richard M. Nixon, Karl E. Mundt, Patrick A. McCarran, among others.

Pls write a 15 sentence descriptive paragraph about eating a strawberry and how it feels afterwards!! Quick please!!
NISA [10]
Looking at the strawberry, you see it is red with little bumps in it. It is in between soft and firm. Biting into it, you feel a slight crunch and get a refreshing sweet taste. As you chew, you feel the pieces getting smaller and softer. The taste begins to go away. You take another bite again and again until i is gone. You get a repeat of each thing you sensed with every bite. When you get to the top, you stop biting. It is more hard and bitter and there are green leaves you do not want to eat. 

You can finish the rest. :) That's a starter.
