3rd quarter local history

For this quarter, I am going to try to interview an old lady that I know if she is willing to be recorded, and if not, I will still be able to get pictures from her. I will be doing this probably next week sometime.

Civil Rights- Martin and Malcom

Okay, so im here to talk about the situation dealing with Martin Luther King Jr, and Malcom X. I believe that Martin is correct about how he feels, and how people should react to the situation. I totally agree with Martin Luther King because people shouldn't have to fight and be violent in order to get civil rights. Everyone deserves to make their own desision, and Malcom X doesn't really think that way.

President Obama's plan

President Obama states that he is planning to change everything starting that night, and make the world a better place. He said that the nation will never use more foreign oil than we did in 1977 through the 1980's. The plans are somewhat alike because all of them believe that there should not be any more foreign oil in our country. Some of them differ, because point three is saying that they think that we should use resources and funds to develop energy by using the sources, such as fuel, coal, and oil.

American Society

Carter is trying to show and tell us how many things have actually gone wrong and changed in our society today. Everyone has changed there opinions on people and how there lives effect ours. He is trying to tell us back then it was a nation where people did simple things but also worked hard, and that's what made people happy. Today our society is a completely different place. He says that people now worship self indulgence and consumption. He also says that people believe that the next five years are going to be worse than the past five years, and that about two thirds of our people don't even vote anymore. Everyone has changed their opinions on people and how their lives affect ours.

The real threat to America

The real threat to America is that people are losing hope for the future, and people are just giving up on the ideas that they used to have for our society. Also, they are not only losing faith, they are losing the ability to be a part of our democracy, and actually have opinions and rights on the decisions that we make today. Energy and inflation is one serious problem in America today, but that's not what people are worried about that much. It's the fact that there are so many people giving up, because they feel that they can't do anything anymore to fix the problems in the world. I believe that this threat is still in America today, because things are just becoming worse in our society, and everything is going up in prices, which is going to be harder to fix when we can't take it anymore.

1970's youtube videos

1) What do you think is changing in America from Archie's point of view?
Well, the reason why Archie has that point of view is because he was in a different stage of culture when he was growing up, and he has a different way of seeing things, rather than we see them today. For an example, he doesn't have that much respect for his wife. He was in that time period where you tell your wife what to do, and the wife is usually the house mother who cleans and is always in the kitchen. The way that men treat women has changed in our culture a lot since Archie's time period. Also the fact that Archie asked Davis that since he was colored, what ever made him turn Jew? That is from Archie's point of view, and that has changed. Our society today is different, and people understand more about the Jews and African Americans.

2) In what ways are young people (his daughter and son-in-law in the clip) and minorities changing society for Archie?
They were trying to convince Archie that he is prejudice, because of the thing that he said to Davis.

3)What is changing in American Society?
The fact that those two African American people were in a taxi, and the taxi drove straight up to the building that they were getting dropped off to. Today, in our society, we still have taxi's, in better condition and a different style, but the taxi driver doesn't drive straight up to the building, you either have to walk or don't take one.
