Do you think the U.S. was really neutral at the start of WWII? Why or why not? Would it have been better for the U.S. to join the war at the beginning? Explain. Be sure to respond to a classmate and include your email address when you post your response.

During the Great Depression FDR spent huge amounts of money to try and get the economy back on track and provide the average American with assistance. In doing this he created a debt for future generations. During our current economic crisis President Obama is making similar attempts to help Americans. Do you think it is (was) worth our country going further in debt to help Americans in their time of need? Please explain why and be respectful in your comments to classmates! Make sure you include your email address when you post your response.
In the 1920s changing morals led women and men to participate in activities that would previously have been considered inappropriate. Yet, a double standard existed for women's behavior versus men's. Do you think there is a still a double standard for women? Explain why or why not, and be sure to respond to a fellow classmate!
If you have questions on the test review you can post them here. I will answer questions until 8 pm Monday evening.
Do you think Wilson's 14 Points would truly have prevented future wars in Europe? Explain why or why not. Be sure to respond to a classmate's post as well!
Prior to the beginning of the Spanish American War rival journalists Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst used the news to portray the Spanish as negatively as possible in Cuba and beyond, helping to whip Americans into a frenzy over General Weyler's treatment of rebel Cubans and the sinking of the USS Maine. To what extent do you think their yellow journalism was responsible for starting the Spanish American War? Do you think journalists have a responsibility to deliver the public "the truth", or is okay to exaggerate to sell papers? Be sure to explain your responses and respond to a classmate by Monday, March 15.
Post your questions here for the final exam. I will post until 8 pm. No later. Not even 4 minutes later, CJ.
