Korean War

Korean War

The Korean War started when the Soviet Union invaded Imperial Japan in 1945, who at this point had control over Korea. The official Korean War did not begin until North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950. The Korean war though at first hand seems like a Civil War between two different governments in Korea, seems to be more of a fight between communism and democracy. The war consisted of more than just Koreans fighting, receiving support from China and the Soviet Union in the North Korean side and the United States on the South Korean side. The main reason the United States entered the war was because they were afraid of another potential world war if China and the Soviet Union, both of which are communists, were to get involved, which they did. They felt the need to contain the war to just east Asia rather than the potential case of it spreading all the way to Europe.

American Indian Alcoholism

One of the most pressing issues in Native American society is alcoholism. Around 42% of Native Americans that start to abuse alcohol, will continue to do so the rest of their life. On top of this 12% of all Native American deaths are due to alcohol use. The most common deaths by alcohol include traffic accidents driving under the influence and liver disease, which contribute to over 25% of alcoholic-related deaths. This is over 3 times the national average at 3.3%. Not only does this affect the lives of themselves, but alcohol is a major part in many other afflicting issues, like violence, rape, and suicide.  Native American Alcoholism Prevalence Compared to Other Races American Indians, unlike other cultures that have been in contact with the consumption of alcohol for thousands of years, have only been in contact with alcohol for a few hundreds of years. As a result, in comparison to the rest of the world, Native Americans have had less time for their bodies to deve...

\ \ https://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2012/11/vote-no-on-womens-suffrage-bizarre-reasons-for-not-letting-women-vote/264639/ After reading The Atlantic, the reason many "voted no" to the idea of giving women the right to vote in the first place is because 90% of women either "did not want it" or did" not care." I'm not exactly sure why many women didn't care. This may be due to the culture of that time where women mainly stayed inside the house, so possibly many of the politics that they would be voting for would not have an effect on them. The Atlantic continued to state that 80% of women eligible to vote are married. As a result, many of the women would just be emulated the husband's vote having essentially net effect of zero in voting percentages. The article then continues on to say that giving women the opportunity for women to vote would result in competition between men and women ins...

Practicing Incorporating a Quotation

Quote In the movie Lincoln , Daniel Day-Lewis, does an outstanding job portraying the character of Abraham Lincoln. His act of staying quiet and calm compared to those around him is best expressed by A. O. Scott in his review of Lincoln  when he says, "His Lincoln speaks in a reedy drawl that provides a notable counterpoint to the bombastic bellowing of some of his allies and adversaries." Explanation: Here I was incorporating a quote from a New York Times review on the movie. I did this by expressing an opinion of my own about the movie, explain why I think that, then further back up my point with a quote from the article that explains explains exactly what I said, but in more detail.
