Again, there are pros and cons to both sides. When the government try to control the people to that level, people rebel against it and it makes more of a drive to do it. Marijuana is no more harmful to people's health then smoking or tobacco. Both are used legally and widely and are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Crime and violence are increased due to illegal selling and buying. Legalizing this would decrease the violence. Marijuana has a huge contribution to some states economics. If marijuana was legalized, the U.S. could save up to $8 billion a year on enforcement.
There are definatly pros and cons to both sides. Some people believe that marijuana ingestion is immoral. Some people will abuse the use of marijuana which long term abuse will be harmful to a person. Many say that legalizing marijuana will give people the idea that you can legalize other more harmful drugs. Some, not all, but some sellers of marijuana have been found to be violent and are better to be put in prison. Law enforcement officals don't want to be seen as supporters of drugs. They are worried about the image that they will give off.
I think that depending on the life you were living at the time it would have been good. If you were doing well and having a sucessful life then I wouldn't move west. However, if you needed more money and a better job to provide for your family then I agree that moving west would be a smart decision.
Racism will always be a problem all over the world. There will always be people that think they are better and deserve to be treated better. Who knows, maybe in the future Americans will b on the other side of racism.
I also believe that it should remain illegal. They say that that study shows no harmful effects to your lungs if you have an occasionsal joint. Honestly if your smoking it already, who is really just gonna do it occasionally i mean we need to get real here. The people that want it legal are the people that don't just do the occasional joint.
I agree. I think its wrong how many things they are replacing with computers. Yes computers and techonology are needed for some things and are very important. But there are some things that need real people to work or the quality just isn't the same.
I agree. Countries tell their men that they need to fight for their fatherland and defend their country. They tell them this without actually telling them why the war is being faught and what purpose it has.
I agree. The country is making progress and the economy is slowly but surely coming along. We need to keep making steps forward and not back.
Part of this is all america's fault. In the tabloids we can't believe everything that we read and need to do a little more fact digging before we believe every little thing that people tell us.
I agree. Many lives could have been save if people would have thought rationaly and realized trench warfare is one of the worst ways to fight a war.
If people would just be honest and only let out the truth then there's a good chance we never would have gone to war. Peopl make things up to try and get attention and this causes things to happen for the wrong reasons.
Exactly. People come to America because of the rights and politics that America has.
It's sad that it took "The Jungle" to make a change happen. The president should have never letten food sanitation get so terrible. It shouldn't have gone so far that it took a book to make a difference.
I agree. We get involved in everything little thing that goes wrong, thinking that if we make it better countries will like us more. All the u.s. does is angers other countries by always making their business our business. We need to wait until other countries want our help.
Exactly. Our countries puts itself in situations that we shouldn't be involved in. We shouldn't be bragging when nowdays our country in trillions of dollars in debt. That's not something to brag about.
I agree. The United States is one of the most imperialistic countries that there is especially during the progressive era. We think that we are always right and everyone should follow us and be like us. Wars and disputes that we have been involved in help prove this and show that we want control and power over everything and want everything to be like us.
The progressive era was a huge leap in u.s. history. Many different movements and ideas were created during this period that improved many parts of u.s. history. Food safety and drug safety were a couple of things that improved. Other things that improved were reforms in schools, and enviromental preservation and awareness.
Worker conditions during industrialization in the united states were terrible. Some owners would lock the workers in the room when they left for a fear that they would get out. People were fed very little and given very little breaks. The places they worked in were very unsafe. They were also very unsanitary and weren't suitable conditions for people to be working in.
Industrialization had good and bad effects of the united states. As a child their were good points and bad points. The good points were that allowing younger children to work allowed them help to contribute to their families. The bad points were that most of the time the kids were underpaid. They were over worked and if something bad happened like you cut your finger off, there wasn't anything you could do about it. During this time, the morals and view points of many cooperations were being questioned due to working conditions.

Westward migration was a very important part of u.s. history. It was a time when people gave up everything to move out west. People spent all their money on supplies to get out their and the journey wasn't east. Many people died from sickness and disease. Specific groups like the Donnor Party had and even harder journey. People became so cold and were so hungry that they resorted to cannibalism. It was a very large part of history that included many struggles.
The u.s. became very divided during the civil war. Slavry being the big contraversy caused a lot of destress for the u.s. The government began trying to rationalize and protect the citizens of the u.s. The government began fighting against racial justice. Reconstruction policies were created to try and begin restoring the country. Some efforts succeeded. Some failed.
Exploration and Colonization was very common throughout history. People wanted to leave their countries for many reasons. Some included how the governments treated the people and also the economics of the country. Many people from Europe came to explore America. People were becoming curious of what was out their and wanted to discover and travel it.
Imperialism is very prevalent to the U.S. now and in history. The U.S. has ideas of their own and they think that everyone should follow it. The united states has shown imperialism as well as nationalism many times throughout history. Some of these times include the spanish american war and the panama canal.
