Like both Maggie and Rachel said, I really don’t like Regan. He was ignorant not only because of his Bolivia Brazil mix up but because he didn’t learn from past presidents mistakes of getting involved ...

It's kind of funny how the three presidents we're focusing on (Kennedy, Johnson, and now Carter) all have very different approaches to problems. Johnson is more aggressive, Carter was more passive an ...

In Emily's post she talks about how the US only got involved when their was something at stake. I understand we had no direct trade with Bolivia, like we did Guatemala, but everything was at stake. If ...

It's kind of sad that the US doesn't own-up to their mistakes. They deny their history. Even though some of their reasons were some what legitimate. It's so frustrating that we pride ourselves on legi ...

Yo what’s up homies, so I totally agree with what everybody is saying. I think Zach talked about how when he’s around his friends when something offensive is said, instead of retaliating or br ...

It's hard to say whether the expectations were 'better' or 'worse'. They were both degrading and unfair expectations that gave men power and superiority. I think the expectations became more clear-cut ...

Oh I forgot to leave a question. So here it is
Do you think some of the influences/ expectations still exist in the media and in society?

'Last night's' reading focused more on expectations that the society and the media has on the 'perfect family'. It focused on the televisions shows and the media that influenced women and families. An ...
