Choose two of the above numbered causes of the Great Depression. Explain how those two factors led to the Great Depression, and how they affected the life of the average American
1. Stock Market Crash - One of the main causes of the Great Depression was the Stock Market Crash of 1929. This event occurred when, over several days, stock prices sharply declined. It led to widespread panic, and those who had invested in the stock market quickly lost their savings. This resulted in a sudden decrease in consumer spending and investment, as households and businesses began hoarding their money. As a result, the economy began to shrink at an alarming rate, leading banks, businesses, and factories to shut down or lay off workers.
This event greatly affected the life of the average American. As businesses began to fail, many workers lost their jobs, and unemployment quickly rose. Many people were unable to find new work, and this led to widespread poverty and homelessness. With so many people struggling, many could no longer afford basic necessities, leading to long lines at soup kitchens and shelters.
2. Overproduction - Another major cause of the Great Depression was overproduction. This is when businesses and factories continue to produce more goods than there is demand for. As a result of this overproduction, businesses were unable to sell their products, leading to a decrease in profits and an increase in layoffs.
This also affected the average American greatly. When businesses began to lay off workers, many were left without a source of income. This resulted in many households struggling to afford basic necessities such as food and housing. Additionally, farmers who were unable to sell their crops due to overproduction often struggled to make ends meet. This led to increased migration to cities in search of work, which put additional strain on urban areas where unemployment was already high.

Why was the call for reporters and government officials Eisenhower's his first reaction to witnessing the Nazi Concentration Camps? What did Eisenhower feel was his duty to prevent?
Eisenhower's first reaction to witnessing the Nazi concentration camps was to call for reporters and government officials because he felt that the atrocities he had seen in the camps were so heinous that they had to be witnessed and recorded by as many people as possible. He believed that in order to prevent such horrific events from happening again in the future, people needed to see and fully understand the scale and scope of the atrocities that had been committed by the Nazis. In addition, he felt that it was his duty to ensure that these crimes against humanity would not be forgotten or ignored, but rather that they would be widely recognized as an example of the worst evil in human history, and a warning of what could happen if such intolerance, bigotry, and hatred were allowed to flourish unchecked.
What were the motivations for Japanese American Internment during World War II? How did this act stand at odds with traditional American values?
The motivations for Japanese American Internment during World War II were primarily rooted in racism, fear and paranoia, and political expediency. Many Americans were motivated by racist beliefs that Japanese Americans were inherently untrustworthy because of their race and culture and that they might act as a "fifth column" for Japan within the United States. Additionally, there was genuine fear and paranoia that Japan might launch attacks inside the United States and that Japanese Americans might assist them in doing so. In order to allay these fears, the government decided to round up all Japanese Americans and intern them in camps, regardless of their loyalty or innocence.
Japanese American Internment during World War II stood at odds with traditional American values in several ways. Firstly, it violated the fundamental American principle of due process and equal protection under the law by rounding up and imprisoning American citizens and legal residents without trial or evidence of wrongdoing. Additionally, it violated the principle of individual freedom by depriving people of their right to live and work where they wished and by subjecting them to search without warrant and imprisonment without trial. Finally, it violated the principle of avoiding collective punishment by punishing an entire ethnic group for the actions of a few individuals. The internment of Japanese Americans was later acknowledged to be a grave injustice and a violation of the Constitution, and the U.S. government has since formally apologized and awarded reparations to surviving victims of the internment.

What were the main goals of the US and USSR during the Cold War?
During the Cold War, the main goals of the United States and the Soviet Union were largely opposed and driven by ideological differences. The United States was motivated by the desire to promote democracy, capitalism, and individual liberties while containing and ultimately defeating Soviet-style communism. The U.S. goal was also to spread American influence throughout the world. The USSR, on the other hand, was motivated by its belief in the superiority of communism, the idea of leading and directing the world communist movement, and ensuring its own security by creating a buffer of friendly satellite states in Eastern Europe to insulate it from potential outside attack. Another goal of the USSR was to promote socialist revolutions around the world, spreading their ideology beyond their borders. Ultimately, each nation sought to spread its own ideology around the globe, influence politics of other nations, and avoid being surpassed by the other.
What were the main goals of the US and USSR during the Cold War? What factors kept the superpowers from fighting directly? Did the US succeed in its goals?
During the Cold War, the main goals of the United States and the Soviet Union were, on one hand, to promote their own ideology around the world, and on the other hand, to contain the other's influence. For the U.S., this meant promoting democracy, capitalism, and individual liberties while containing and ultimately defeating Soviet-style communism. For the Soviet Union, it meant spreading communism around the world, particularly through a network of satellite states in Eastern Europe.
Several factors kept the superpowers from fighting directly, including nuclear deterrence, the fear of mutually assured destruction, and the balance of power in Europe. Both sides recognized the potential consequences of a direct conflict, leading to a standoff between the two through proxy wars and the arms race.
Regarding the success of U.S. goals, the Cold War was ultimately won by the U.S and their ideology of capitalism and democracy proved to be more resilient. The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, and most countries throughout the world have embraced capitalist economics with varying levels of democratic governance. However, it is also important to recognize that the victory was far from complete, with the US only succeeding in containing Soviet influence rather than truly eradicating it.
20. What was the Supreme Court ruling in the Brown vs. the Board of Education case? What groups in America did this decision effect, and how?
The Supreme Court ruling in the Brown v. Board of Education case was that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. The Court declared that the doctrine of "separate but equal," which had been established by the Plessy v. Ferguson case in 1896, was inherently unequal and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
This decision affected multiple groups in America, most notably African Americans, who had long been subjected to segregation in public schools and other aspects of daily life. The Brown v. Board of Education ruling paved the way for the civil rights movement and helped to dismantle legal segregation in America. It also paved the way for other legal challenges to segregation and discrimination based on race, gender, and other factors.
The decision affected not only African Americans but also white Americans, notably those in the southern states who were resistant to desegregation. The ruling caused unrest and resistance in those states, with many white citizens of southern states opposing the integration of schools and other public spaces. However, over time, the ruling and its subsequent enforcement helped to bring about greater social equality and integration in America.
x^2+3x-10/x^2-2x-35 divide by x-2/4x-28
Factor the numerator and denominator of the first fraction:
(x^2+3x-10) / (x^2-2x-35) = [(x+5)(x-2)] / [(x+5)(x-7)]
Simplify the second fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by 4:
(x-2) / (4x-28) = (x-2) / 4(x-7)
Rewrite the division problem as multiplication by the reciprocal:
[(x+5)(x-2)] / [(x+5)(x-7)] * 4(x-7) / (x-2)
Cancel out the common factor of (x+5) and simplify:
= (x-2) / 4
