Organized Labor?!

Based on Sources A-I, organized labor was unsuccessful with improving the position of workers during the years of 1875-1900. Two sources were successful and seven sources were unsuccessful. According to Source C, the labor unions were badly influenced by communist and labors have discovered they're killing there source of wealth because of the communist. Along with that, Source G states that there was multiple deaths that occurred during strikes and a lot of violence went on as well. Then Source D stated that there were less jobs for labors which affected a lot of people during that time. Therefore, these three Sources basically say that organized labr was unsuccessful. It is unsuccessful because the assembly lines would have less people and also workers would be in danger and they'd possibly be risking there lives if they went on strike. Along with that if they listen to the communist they'd be cutting off there own source of wealth which would affect them. So, organized labor was unsuccessful.

Egypt!!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12345656

In Egypt, Hosni Mubarak is the President and there is a group of people in support of Mubarak and a group of people against him. There has been multiple protests against Mubarak and the decisions he has made. He seems to be in control of only the country but not the army. In a sense, if the United States help Mubarak, it may help with some issues and if they don't help then violence will continue and so will much more conflict. So, i basically think the United States should help Egypt militarily and politically. If the U.S. helps make Egypt a democracy, it could help in a way to make things easier and let the people make decisions as well, and that might help the people become less angry. If the United States help militarily, it'll help the Egyptian army because nobody in the army will listen to what Mubarak says. Therefore, i think the United States should, in a way, help out Egypt.
