If Germany won, then I think they would think they were a lot more powerfull too. Now you don't hear about them as much because they aren't trying to start things with other countries. But if they did win, they could have much more land than they do today. Also, the Nazi's would probably have some impact on the world today if they would have one. People could've followed them because they would have the image of being powerful and people would respect them for that reason.

The trenches were definitely not the cleanest. Many of them had runoff and a lot of dirt and different kinds of animals living in there. That just shows you how appreciative we should be that we don't have tohttp://www.firstworldwar.com/features/ trenchlife.htm be in the trenches with the disgusting things.

It's there because some people aren't willing to accept the fact that we are all different. They think if they have a darker skin color than theirself, that they are below them and don't deserve the same respect. Unfortunately, that is something that will be there forever I think. It has gotten better, but I think that will just be something that we have to live with even if we don't like it.

I agree. Without the Panama Canal, it would be a lot harder for trade and trade routes. It would also take a longer time for items to get from one side of the world to the other. The Panama Canal was a great structure to build since it is the passageway from one ocean to another.

I agree. I don't think they knew that the War would end up how it did, but soon enough I think they got that it was going to be a long, bruital even and they would just have to keep fighting through.

I think that the African Americans would eventaully stand up for their human rights. I don't think anyone could live without having rights. The rights of the African Americans happened because of the Civil War however, I don't think that if the Civil War never happened African Americans would never have equal rights.

I agree. I think that was a cause and effect of why we went to Iraq. Right after the attak, the troops headed over to Iraq.

I agree with you. I think that the United States will still have a little bit of racism in it no matter what. However, I think it has gotten way better.

The Gold Rush was a very important even that happened that lead to western expansion in the United States. Who knows, without the Gold Rush, would the western part of the United States ever be discovered?

Children had to help otherwise they would be left to starve and have no income. Unfortunately, the working conditions for the children weren't the best.

I think America is still continuing to be imperialistic because they are still involved in many events in other countries. The United States tries and help out their allies in any way they can.

Actually I don't think all countries care about is money. If that's all the United States cared about, then I don't think we would be so far in debt.

I don't think that the government should have control in censoring the internet. I believe that we should have freedom in what websites we go to. Also, I think that if the government blocks websites for plagerism, they will be taking away good sites that students use like wikipedia. Wikepedia is a resourceful website and if the people want credit for what they put on there, they should not post it on wikipedia.

Today, owners will still go overboard on thinking that they need to produce their products as fast as they can, without spending as much money. Unfortunately, this just leads to employees being overworked and underpaid. It definitely has gotten better since the Industrial Era, however, some companies have not improved as muchc as others.

I agree with you. I think that the U.S. shouldn't keep putting aside the debt issue while helping out and focusing on other countires. If we keep ignoring financial crisis, we will be in trouble. We will keep continuing to go into more debt each and every day.

I also think that machines and robots will take over the jobs of the future Americans. Nowadays, while technology advances, the jobs of human labor disapear. New technology everyday is getting more helpful for companies because they don't have to pay or give insurance to their employees. So in the long run, I think that if companies switch to machine labor, the will end up saving money down the road.

I agree that they didn't realize how much effor it would take to recieve the gold. They put many hours in a day trying to get it along with putting their life on the line every time they went to dig it up. Not only was it physically draing, but it was mentally draining for them to knowing that they could die everytime they blew up the ground around them. http://history-world.org/california_gold_rush.htm

I think child labor has gotten a lot better today then back then. Now, there are specific rules to help out the children like saftey, certain number of work hours, and salary. Now, children can help support their family without getting little pay or being overworked.

I agree. I think Germany thought they were better than everyone else and were the "top dog". They ended up falling anyways in the war.

I agree. I think the United States made a right choice in enetring WWI at that specific time. If they would've waited, the Germans could've won and be more powerful than the other countires. Also, when the United States came in, then other European allies joined in too to help defeat Germany.

I think the United States should continue being imperialistic because it is important to have foriegn allies in today's world. http://www.michaelparenti.org/Imperialism101.html

I think we should move forward with the progressive era. I think it's important to keep adding jobs for the unemployment. Even though it's hurting our environment, we are doing a good job trying to help it. We have to keep moving forward to be successful.

I agree with your statement about the buisnees owner saying that we will get better pay if we work harder. We do work hard enough as it is and we still don't get paid good. I think the minimum wage is a good idea.

I agree. We need the money and our family relies on us to make the income. Without it, my family couldn't eat or have the supplies they need in order to live.

I agree. We need the money to help support our familys. With the minimum wage, we will know that we are getting paid or sure and not getting anything for our work.

I agree. As kids, we have a lot of life to live yet. We shouldn't have to start off working in the factories as young kids. We should safe our childhood for education and learning to be the best that we can be. As adults, we then can either go off and work in the factories or do something else for a living.

As a child laborer, I am or thte Keating-Owen Bill. If they didn't propose this bill then the owners could work us for as long as they wanted. This bill gave them limits that they can work us along with an age limit. With this bill, I will have more time to spend with my friends and family and more time to help around the house.

I don't think we should be working 40 hours. I think a buisness owner should walk in our shoes for a day and see how we have it. They can just boss us around and not work like we do. Also, the owners want better products from us, but if we're tired from working 60 hours plus all the work we have to do around the house, then the quality of our products won't be as good.

I don't think we should be forced to work longer. Working longer just makes people more tired and depressed. We are humans. We have the right to be having some fun besides working 24/7. Some buisness owners wouldn't give us more money if we worked longer anyways. Therefore, I think we should work just 40 hours.

I agree with you. Working 60 hours would makes us less concentrated on our jobs and if we worked 40 hours we would do a better job and have better quality products. The owners would be more pleased with us if we did a better job anyways then doing a crappy one and working longer hours.

I agree that a 40 hour work week is a good idea. I am a child and I need time to spend with my family and kids. If we had a 60 hour work week then I would never have time to be home and help around the house too. The buisness owners don't know that we have a lot to do outside of work too.

I agree with you. We need the money to support our famiily and to support ourselves. We have to know for sure how much we will be getting so our family can depend on that. Without a minimum wage sometimes we wouldn't know if we would be making a less amount of money.

We could strive for doing better but who would say that the rich buisness owners would give us better pay? They still might give us a low amount and we wouldn't be able to depend on that. I think we all strive for our best everyday so we don't get in trouble with the owners and so they don't decrease our pay.

I agree with you. If there wasn't a minimum wage then our bosses could pay whatever they wanted to us and however low they wanted to pay us. Also, because we are females and kids, they could pay us less. This way with having a minimum wage they couldn't discriminate against us.

If we didn't have this minimum wage we could be getting paid for less because there wouldn't be a set amount of money. The rich owners could give us less money and it wouldn't be constant so my family couldn't rely on my incocme. Also, if they do pay us less then we would have to work more hours and we couldn't focus on our education.

I am for a minimum wage. Without a minimum wage, I don't know how much I would get paid. This way I know that we will be getting paid for sure and working for something. If we didn't have a minimum wage our bosses could make us work for a penny an hour and it could be a lot worse that $7.25. Therefore, I am all for the $7.25 minimum wage!!

As a child laborer, I disagree with this. If we work 40 hours we will be better employees and working in the factory won't be as bad. I don't think we should be treated as slaves and be forced into working a 60 hour week. You don't know how bad it is until you walk in our shoes.

As a working child, I am for the 40 hour work week. I want time to spend time with my friends and family and not work in the factories. As a child, I think we have the right to having time off from the work week. Also, if we only worked 40 hours and not 60 hours I would be less tired at the factory which would lead to less injuries. I could sleep with the extra twenty hours off so that way I would be more awake at the factory and be a more productive worker. I don't think children should be allowed to work 60 hours in one week. Children should be allowed to have some freedom and fun!!
