.... the core of Pop, superficial, maybe, but promising a fresh world of demotic feeling (Bann, 121). In the 1960s, the shock of Pop, the excitement of happenings, and the cool of minimalism, provided an emergence of a new attitude. According to Jahn, "happenings directly challenged viewers' perceptions of social patterns and of conformity to conventions" (66). Pop, like so many other styles of art, raised questions of meaning: Was it art? What was the message? Was it the celebration or parody of the mass-consumer world? Happenings and Pop Art evoked strong emotional response during this era. Artworks in this style challenged social conventions and offere .....

.... disqualify revolutionaries, radicals and/or subversives who seek to justly initiate war. War is to be the decisions of the head of state and is to be subject to their guidance. 2.

If war is to be justly initiated just cause, usually humanitarian, must first exist. 3. Right Intention - This relates to the tenet of just cause. Just cause must be followed by right intention. It would be unjust seek a goal devoid of the just cause. 4. Proportionality - Also in rel .....

.... explanations were so logical and precise that people found it very difficult to dispute them. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was known as one of the leaders of the American civil right movement and a prominent advocate of nonviolent resistance to racial oppression.

One example of the problems that Dr. King tried to bring to the peoples attention in an attempt to fix it was the “law� that all the African Americans could sit only at the back of the bus and not th .....

.... the other Black leaders would not retreat from their demands. Millions of jobs were being created with the massive build up in preparation for war. Because of widespread discrimination, however, few minorities were receiving any jobs. Randolph indicated that they were prepared to bring, "ten, twenty, fifty thousand Negroes on the White House lawn" if their demands were not met. After consultation with his advisors, Roosevelt decided to appease the Black leaders and issued Executive Order 8802 - "There shall be no discrimination in the employment of workers in defense industries and in Government, because of race, creed, color, or national origin." .....

.... would be exploited and would sink into hopeless poverty. Economic "laws" would force them to work harder and harder for less and less pay. THE LOWELL EXPERIMENT How, then, were the factory owners able to recruit farm girls as laborers? They did it by building decent houses in which the girls could live. These houses were supervised by older women who made sure that the girls lived by strict moral standards. The girls were encouraged to go to church, to read, to write and to attend lectures. They saved part of their earnings to help their families at home or to use when they got married. The young factory workers did not earn high wages; the .....

.... who talked to Roosevelt. Roosevelt approved the project in 1939 Physicists from 1939 onward conducted much research to find answers to such questions as how many neutrons were emitted in each fission, which elements would not capture the neutrons, would they moderate or reduce their velocity, and whether only the lighter and more rare isotope of uranium (U- 235) or the common isotope (U-238) could be used. They learned that each fission releases a few neutrons. A chain reaction, therefore, was theoretically possible, if not too many neutrons escaped from the mass or were captured by impurities. In 1942 General Leslie Groves was chosen to lead the .....

.... to equalize the financial burden of war and put America on a sound economy. He wanted to create a national bank. This bank would be a collecting point for federal taxes as well as issue currency. The protective tariff plan was a plan that didn't work. It was supposed to place a tax on imported goods, in hopes of protecting American manufacturers. Congress did not pass this bill. This did not stop Hamilton. He came up with another plan to raise money, an excise tax on distilled liquors. Congress adopted this proposal, but probably wished they had not. The proposal was very unpopular, so unpopular that it caused a rebellion. Out of all thes .....
