Economic Boom!! Disgaree or Agree?! :D

One historian said: "Without the new automobile industry, the prosperity of the 1920's would scarcely have been possible." 
Explain whether you agree or disagree with the statement. Support your explanation by referring to the Sources and information.

I agree with the statement to an extent because during the time of the economic boom the new ideas and industries really set a base for the time of the 1920's and really helped the U.S. develop. With the idea of building cars, industries took off and grew into something larger. Also with making cars it helped the U.S. explore new resources such as: steel, chemicals, glass, and machinery. This later became a foundation for an economic boom in consumer goods. The tariff made it so importing goods was more expensive, so if the U.S. was to sell cars they'd make money from other foreign countries. Also, for the 1920's up until 1929 the world industrial production and the U.S. industrial production went up, so it shows how this really helped the U.S. and the prosperity of the 1920's.

20-word definiton

The economic boom of the 1920's was a time when industries of America began to expand with luxury and consumer goods which helped benefit industries, homes, transportation and cities.

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.

Sharia!

Sharia, or Islamic law, influences the legal code in most Muslim countries. A movement to allow sharia to govern personal status law, a set of regulations that pertain to marriage, divorce, inheritance, and custody, is even expanding into the West. "There are so many varying interpretations of what sharia actually means that in some places it can be incorporated into political systems relatively easily," says Steven A. Cook, CFR senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies. Sharia's influence on both personal status law and criminal law is highly controversial, though. Some interpretations are used to justify cruel punishments such as amputation and stoning as well as unequal treatment of women in inheritance, dress, and independence. The debate is growing as to whether sharia can coexist with secularism, democracy, or even modernity. http://www.cfr.org/publication/8034/islam.html

-Sharia is enforced in Islamic countries and there is a movement that allows sharia to govern "personal status law", which includes marriage, divorce, inheritance and custody. Sharia has an influence on personal law as well as criminal law, and it has brought controversy. A lot of controversy is about punishments and problems with women that people find unequal.

Cartoon- Persian Gulf!

This cartoon is talking about the Persian Gulf War and how the United States we were allies with Iraq but we invaded them after the Cold War [because we didn't want Saddam Hussein to take over]. The chair in the picture is showing where Saddam Hussein sat while the Persian Gulf War was going on. The planes are the Unite States air invasion at the beginning of the war. Also the US were very confident in themselves thinking that'd they'd be able to take Saddam Husein.

Cirlce-Circle-Square-Square!

What are the effects of these two sets of policies on each other?!  -Cold War & Oil-
The Cold War's policy was the Truman Doctrine, "the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.” (President Truman). The United States had a policy on oil, which was The United States policymakers encourage the U.S. oil companies to begin looking over sea's for new oil reserves. These two policies effect each other because the Truman Doctrine was basically  saying that Truman supports free people who have been taken over by foreign minorities.
So, therefore, if the U.S. is oversea's helping freed people, the US could look into oil reserves.

What are the effects of these two sets of policies on each other?! -Oil Policy & Ara-Israeli Conflict-
The Oil Policy was United States policymakers encourage the U.S. oil companies to begin looking over sea's for new oil reserves, and the Arab-Israeli Conflict policy is also the Truman Doctrine and giving money to Israel to help them. Both the Cold War and the Arab-Israeli Conflict have similar policies. The Unites States and Russia were super powers, and the Unite States were against Russia, so the US wanted to get allies and so they thought of Israel as an option to befriend. They supplied Israel with aid and money. Once again if the U.S. is oversea's helping freed people, the US could look into oil reserves.

What are the effects of these two sets of policies on each other?! -Arab-Israeli Conflict & Cold War-
Both the Cold War and the Arab-Israeli policies support the Truman Doctrine. The oil embargo [stop selling oil to the US] was set because the United States was helping Israel out and Faisal Ibn Saud wanted the United States to help the Arabs.
