Briefly describe ONE difference between New Deal and Great Society programs.
One difference between the New Deal and the Great Society program is that the New
deal worked on recovering the economy while the Great society program was made to
eradicate social problems and inequalities. The New deal was instituted during the Great
depression to help fix the economy while focusing on the three R’s, relief, recovery and
reform. The Great Society Program was created to end poverty, reduce crime, and fight
inequality while supporting education, providing healthcare, and developing depressed
areas. While the New Deal sought to end a depression the Great Society Program
sought to prevent one. Both of these were acts of progressivisim but had two totally
different causes and end results.
The New Deal and the Great Society programs differed in the fact of what both programs
were willing to help with financially. The New Deal program specifically helped with jobs
and business while the Great Society program helped with education, medical care, and
much more. Though both helped society economically, the large card of consumerism
both fed into the running of the programs.
Briefly explain ONE reason for a difference between New Deal and Great Society
programs.
One reason for a difference between the New Deal and the Great Society
Programs is that the New Deal was responding to a failing economy while the Great
Society program was responding to a failing society. The New Deal was made to help
recover the economy after the Great Depression by putting people back to work while
the Great sSociety Program sought to fight against the poverty that was occurring in
an otherwise prosperous society by providing the less fortunate with medical care and
financial aid while encouraging a new era of security and equality. The New Deal was
made during a time of inequality and sought to reform the economy while the Great
Society program embraced the civil rights movement and was a time of reforming
society and combating discrimination.
The Reason for the large difference in financial help between the two programs lend up
to the main point of what was perceived as important at the time. The New Deal's main
goal was to get the US out of the great depression while the Great Society's goal was
to cause less crime, poverty and a few other factors from occuring at the time.
Abolitionism was a main need in both programs as they wished to prevent something
negative from occurring because of financial issues.
Briefly describe ONE specific historical similarity between the women’s rights
movement of the 1890s through the 1910s and the women’s rights movement of the
1960s through the 1970s. One historical similarity between the two womens righ ts
movements was the demand for legal and political equality. In both eras, women
sought to gain the right to vote and to have equal protection under the law. The
suffrage movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries culminated in the passage
of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution in 1920, while the second wave feminist
movement of the 1960s and 1970s led to the passage of laws such as Title IX, which
prohibited sex discrimination in education , in the Equal Pay Act which aimed to
address gender-based way Gap disparities both movements also emphasized the
need for women have control over their own bodies and reproductive choices and fight
against the sexisim they fought in all the parts of their lives.

A large similarity between the two waves of the women's movement was the main
purpose. In each movement they did have different reasons for each wave but it all led
to the same thing, being treated the same as a man or equal to one. With the first wave
being mainly focused on voting rights and the second wave being about discrimination
we can see how overall both waves and a main ending goal. With the similarities in that
aspect being very wanted between both timelines it's safe to say the most people who
were in the first wave were also in the second because of the end goaling being the
same.

Briefly describe ONE specific historical difference between the women’s rights
movement of the 1890s through the 1910s and the women’s rights movement of the
1960s through the 1970s.
One specific historical difference between the Women’s Suffrage movement of 1890
and the second wave of the Feminist Movement of the 1960’s was the focus of the
movements. The Women’s Suffrage movement solely focused on the right for women
to vote at the beginning of their protest. On the other hand, during the second wave of
the Feminist movement their goal was to allow women to join the workforce and get
paid equally. This can connect to Progressivism, similarly, in 1897 the Progressive Era
began that targeted social and political reform.
The specific differences between the two waves were the reasonings. The two waves
differed in the reasons for why the movements were made. The Goals were also
different too because of the reasonings further the differences between the two. The
two waves were forced into a difficult form of nationalism as they were divided but still
came across with similar aims in each wave; they simply were just put in different
states in the beginning.
One historical difference between the two women's rights movements was their
focus and approach. During the 1890s to 1910s, the women's right movement was
primarily focused on securing the right to vote through the women's suffrage
movement. Women organized protests, marches, and other forms of activism to
demand the right to vote, which finally was granted with the passage of the 19th
Amendment to the US Constitution in 1920. During the women's right movement of the
1960s to the 1970s which is known as the second wave of feminism comma the main
focus was on a broader range of issues such as Reproductive Rights workplace
discrimination and sexual harassment. The movement was characterized by more
radical and confrontational tactics such as sit-ins protest and Consciousness raising
groups and was driven by a more diverse group of women including women of color
and lesbian feminists.
Briefly explain ONE specific historical reason for a difference between the women’s
rights movement of the 1890s through the 1910s and the women’s rights movement of
the 1960s through the 1970s.
One specific historical reason for a difference between the women’s rights movement
of the 1890's and the women’s right movement of the 1960’s was the Nineteenth
amendment. For the women’s right movement of the 1890’s they accomplished
obtaining the Nineteenth amendment that allows women to have the right to vote.
Once they had accomplished this goal, they decided to target the next problem of the
unfair wage being issued to women. Sectionalism can be compared to the women's
movement for example, in the 1815’s during the political feud with the presidents and
their different views. Just as some people supported the women’s movement while
others opposed it.
The main reason for the different women's movements was because of the need to
fight for something different each time.The first wave of the women's movement
occurred because of women wanting the right to vote while the second wave fifty to
sixty years after the first women's movement focused on equality. The discrimination
toward the women for each wave was different because of the timeline and the
reasoning.
One specific historical reason for the difference between the women's rights
movements of the 1890s to the 1910s and the women's rights movements of the
1960s through the 1970s is the context in which they emerged. The women's right
movement of the late 19th and earliest 20th centuries focused primarily on securing
legal and political rights for women such as the right to vote and own property. This
movement was largely led by middle class white women and was focused on achieving
formally legal equality with men. That contrasts with the women's rights movement of
the 1960s and 70s which emerged in the context of the broader civil rights and anti-
war movements and was characterized by a broader agenda that included issues such
as reproductive rights, equal pay and and into the gender-based Discrimination in all
areas of life. Whilel both movements were focused on advancing women's rights the
movement rights of the 1960s and seventies was more intersectional inclusive and
focused on a broader range of issues reflecting the changing social and political
context of the time. There is a lack of sectionalism in the second wave of feminism that
was very prominent in the first.
Briefly explain ONE specific ruling of the Warren Court that expanded the rights of
defendants in the criminal justice system.
One specific ruling of the Warren Court that expanded the rights of defendants in the
criminal justice system was the Gideon v. Wainwright right. This right forced the state
courts to provide a service attorney to any defendants who were not able to afford one.
This would have meant that they had the same fair treatment as anyone else due to the
help they were given. They were able to have a trial and be appointed to the not-guilty
choice if they pleaded. This event can be compared to the Sixth Amendment which
can relate to individualism. Defendants are able to fight for their rights.
The Warren Court changed the whole system of the supreme court in the 1950s-1970s
dramatically because of the fact of Judicial power being further expanded. Judicial
power gives judges and people the ability to establish a case and solve it which is
normally caused by some sort of crime. With Nations having different laws still however
and Nationalism becoming more of a vocal point in the criminal justice system this still
was seen a great improvement than before. The criminal justice system's other rules
are greatly influenced by judicial power.
One specific ruling of the Warren court that expanded the rights of defendants in the
criminal justice system is the landmark case of Gideon V Wainwright in 1963. In this
case, the court unanimously stated that the Sixth Amendment of the United States
Constitution requires states to provide new Council to Indigent defendants who are
charged with a family period; this means that regardless of a defendant's ability to pay
for an attorney they have the right to legal representation in court. This ruling
significantly expanded the rights of defendants and ensured that even those who
cannot afford an attorney or provided with legal representation to ensure a fair trial.
This was at the time a very different way of doing things and the exceptionalisim
strengthend America's political system.

Briefly explain ONE specific ruling of the Warren Court that expanded the 1st
Amendment. Warren Court was a system of religion that was done in public schools
and because of this the 1st amendment was pushed into the light more by protecting
religious people from discrimination. Though atheism was questioned more because of
the first amendment it still protected people of all beliefs or non beliefs in the future.
One specific ruling of the Warren court that expanded the First Amendment is the
landmark case of New York Times Co v.s Sullivan. This case involved a full page
advertisement published in the New York Times that criticized the treatment of civil
rights protesters in Montgomery, Alabama. The advertisement contains some factual
errors and Montgomery City Commissioner L. B. Sullivan sued the newspaper. The
Supreme Court, by unanimous decision, ruled the first amendment protects even false
statements about public officials, unless the statements were made with actual malice
this ruling established the actual malice standard for defamation cases involving public
officials and expanded the protections of the First Amendment to cover even false
statements about public officials this ruling strengthen the freedom of the press to
report on public interest without fear of being sued for a level by public officials. Given
this specific situation protected people who before it was not common to be abused,
there is a sense of progressivisim in this ruling because it protected free speech and
the opinions of the public.

Briefly analyze ONE specific impact of the court's "one man, one vote" ruling on
American politics The one man, one vote ruling impacted the voting experience and
rules in America. With the unbalance in representatives in regions it caused an uprise in
uncertainty and division. As the problems in voting arose the judges had a chance to
fix things in 1960 however, Judges didn't feel the need to be involved instead they
found the states and the people to “fix” the issue and unfair voting system. Thispushed
socialism into the mix and changed voting to what it is now.

The “One Man, One vote” principe, established by the United States Supreme Courts
ruling in the case of Reynolds v. Sims in 1964, had a significant civic impact on
American politics. Before this ruling, many state legislatures were composed of
districts that were unevenly populated, which resulted in some voters having more
influence than others. This serum was seen as unfair and undemocratic. The Reynolds
v. Sims ruling required that state legislators be a proportioned based on population
comma which ensured that every citizens votes carried equal weight period this led to
a more representative and democratic system of government in which elected officials
were more responsive to the needs and desires of their constituents the one man one
vote principle went beyond state legislators and influence the way congressional
districts were drawn as well. Overall the one man one vote principle had a significant
impact on American politics by promoting more equal representation in sharing that
every citizen vote carries equal weight.

Briefly describe ONE specific historical difference between the New Left and the
counterculture movements A specific difference between the New Left and the
counterculture movements is that the New Left was more of a social movement whilst
the Counter was more focused on economics. Both movements were connected in
politics by the reason to express both points as more important. With both sides
protesting their main wants and worries they changed things economically and socially
in society as a whole which can be connected to progressivism.

Briefly explain ONE reason for the difference between the New Left and the
counterculture movements.
The reason for the difference was because they had opposing viewpoints .
Counterculture movement was based upon living life outside of regulations which is
why in the hippie movement they experimented with sex and drugs, while the New left
focused on placing social regulations that were fair like civil rights and anti-war. Both
movements practice exceptionalism with counterculture they practiced accepting life
and not living by manmade guidelines which is why they chose to “ rebel “ , while with
the New Left they practice expansionism but they also use this as a growth stance,
because life was exceptional for them but they wanted life to be above that.
The New Left and counterculture movement had very different beliefs of what was seen
as important. For example the New Left say guns as a negative whilst Counterculture
most likely say it as a big development in economics. Guns help the economy by
making weapons for wars and producing money which is what the countercultures
believe. Whilst the New Left find guns to be nothing but violent for everyone around
which goes against the peace they wish to gain. With the two viewing things way
differently than one another in just one aspect then it is already very clear how divided
the two movements are.
Briefly explain ONE similarity between the New Left and modern social movements
The New Left fought for social and political based reform to allow betterment of their
time period and in connection with today’s movements like BLM for example is for the
betterment of society. Both groups focus on the improvement of matters that affect
society, like in the New Left a predominant cause was that they fought for civil rights ,
which is still a fight with Black Lives Matter which is civil rights and also a campaign
for racial justice. Both groups are demonstrating pluralism by fighting to coexist once
given proper rights , for example BLM is fighting for racial injustice but also to coexist
with the people who decide they are the threat, and with the new left they fought to
coexist with each other and to have an honest lifestyle once accommodated.
The New Left's goal was to influence people positively and peacefully and the same
goes for most movements or protests nowadays. People tend to protest when they feel
they aren't being heard or they feel as if the government isn’t willing to take any
chances in changing. We can slowly see a form of Social Diversification occur as many of
the protests are done in groups that believe in the same things as one another to help put a
change to what they believe has been done wrong or not done at all.

Briefly explain ONE specific difference between MLK and Malcolm X philosophy for the
progress in the Civil Rights Movement.

As far as MLK he believed that peaceful and nonviolent approaches were the best way
to succeed in integration while Malcom X on the other hand did not necessarily believe
in integration he wanted black supremacy by any means necessary, violence
included.Their separate philosophies both came back to their opposing idea of
segregation vs integration, MLK made a difference in about 10 years approaching civil
issues in a respectable manner while Malcom X took about 12 years to approach civil
issues but his perspective veered toward black self-defense. Both practiced the idea of
sectionalism but just in different ways, Malcolm X dedicated himself to black people
remaining together and fighting for rights while MLK devoted his life to black people
peacefully integrating with other races and ideas.

MLk and Malcom X had a different way of thinkinging when it came to racism. Mlk believed in
connection and equality no matter what race whilst Malcom X believed in african americans
being more favored especially in education. The two differences in thinking influenced
discrimination even when this was the one thing they both wanted to avoid. The two men both
wanted the same thing but went about the problems way differently however, both sides caused
progression in the civil rights movement just in a different way than intended.
