Section 1, Question 4. I believe that public opinion is very important in the health of an economy because if consumer and even stock market confidence is low than no one will invest in the markets and if consumer confidence is to high it will cause everyone to invest in the market to the point where the stocks will become worthless because of the amount of debt people will be in after taking out loans they can not pay back and buy stock on margin.
Section 2, Question 3. In the Great Depression women suffered immensely because without the men having job the women were having a hard time to help support there families because they had no money to pay for food. Children however suffered the most in my eyes because they began to feel worthless not to mention that with schools shut down some children ran away from home in order to find a life outside of the depression.
Section 3, Question 3. Hoover’s policy of Rugged Individualism during the Great Depression helped to shape government impact during this time period. Hoover felt that if he gave the people things such as Welfare that that would hurt a person’s self dignity, he believed in teaching other people rather than spoon feeding them, this translated into the governments’ role because he did not help pass laws such as the Patman Bill but did support things such as the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

Unit 3 HW 1
Chapter 20 Section 1 question 3
3. I feel that Americans were, to some extent, justified with the red scare during the 20s. One reason of this was because the Bolsheviks were such a minority and took over such a large country that Americans were afraid that it could happen here as well, and Soviets wished to spread world revolution by the working class to the entire world obviously this caused a panic in American Society. During the scare America actually had a Communist party that totaled to about 70,000 people. Also bombs were sent by mail to American senators. Opposes to my view may say that the scare was not justified because there was never any physical proof that the communist were going to anything to America but this is not true because even though there was no evidence the communist still wanted to spread communism to the world.
Chapter 21 section 1 question5
5. I think that the Scopes trial proved to be a powerful triumph of traditional values because for the first time in history a judge proved that religion and faith, a strong cultural power for the rural towns, overthrew the growing power of science. The Volstead act also helped to give power to the traditionalist because it tried to limit the negative effects that the Prohibition act had allowed to cause.
Chapter 21 Section 4 question 5
5. The Harlem renaissance effected black culture incredible because for the first time in America the African Americans found a musical and cultural voice of there own. It effected American history because it influence many rap, hip-hop, and even soul artist who would sing for years to come.

Chapter 19
Section 1, Q 3&5
3. World War I endangered the lives of European citizens in many ways. One way the dangers in the waters off of Europe not only from German U-boats attacking all British ships but also from the British blockade off the coast of Germany stopping German Ships as well. Also the danger of trench warfare, primarily the use of bio-chemical weapons which if used had no cure for non-combat personnel.
5. I believe that German u-boat attacks escalated during 1917 because Germany was outraged by the blockade by the British off the coast but also because they wished to prove that Britain’s domination of the sea was close to over now that the U-boats are around. Also Germany knew that submarine warfare would weaken the naval strength of the allies and tip their favor.
Section 2 Q 3
3. World War I helped to bring in a new type of warfare for many reasons. The first was the new technologies uses, weapons like poison gas, machine guns, and tanks helped knock down people, combat or non-combat, who stood in the way. As a result of this about 22 million people died and many were left with shell shock, a strange mental disease that makes people act in strange ways because of their time in the trenches.
Section 3 Q 3 & 5
3. The war effected the government an incredible amount causing the average income of people as well as causing prices to rise and the creation of new industries such as the War Industries Board and shortening food distribution
5. I feel that the war had a negative effect on the American society because the war fueled anti-German feelings to all people, American or otherwise, of German decent this feeling was brought on be the American government with the Espionage and Sedation acts but also because of the Committee on Public Information’s Propaganda methods
Section 4 Q 3&5
3. The Treaty of Versailles did not lay the foundation of lasting peace because the treaty left the central powers at the mercy of the League of Nations whims carving up the central powers countries and colonies among themselves.
5. I believe that Germany at that time would have appeared to be fallowing through with there part of the “bargain” but be regrouping in secret to create a stronger army because they felt that they were cheated in the treaty conferences as well as in there human rights because they were now being treated like dogs in there minds.
