I also thought this reading was enjoyable since it seemed quite different from the other chapters we've read. The major problem of discrimination was brought to the attention of the public (or at leas ...

I think that the the purpose of merging and supporting the Cold War was partially an act of fear. With the red scare everyone could have been a threat. Like we discussed in class many of the strikes f ...

This reading was interesting in that this time was the one time when the US was seriously down. Answering to the question about some of the differences between the system, I believe that most of the a ...

There has been a lot of talk going around of the fear of immigrants. It was disappointing to see that most of the strikes failed even after reaching their peak after the war. I have to agree that much ...

It was interesting to see unions popping up with different ideals. Although they all believed in the corruption of their current system, their ways of solution were quite varying. The IWW focused on t ...

The US is seen as a country of opportunity. It still is a place where countless worke ...

I enjoyed this reading compared to the reading in the past, since this showed a different side of the US. With Jimmy Carter as president, I was surprised that the US was willing to act on a morally un ...

It seemed as if many were having the same problem with this reading. The reading was really dense and didn't seem to connect much between every two or three sentences. It was hard to absord all the s ...
