Male chauvinists are to blame for America's trend toward high divorce rates in the starting of 1970s.
Male chauvinists are to be blamed for high divorce rates because they didn't respect their wives. “Women went on strike against the men who wanted them to cook and make beds while the men went around in cars organizing (Zinn).” They expect their wives to do all the house works. This makes wives feel they are unimportant in their husband's eyes. This will lead to divorce.
Also, male chauvinists are to be blamed for high divorce rate because they want to clarify whose low self-esteem. Due to "Jennifer Fever", male chauvinists leave their family to find their “"Jennifer” to prove that they are still attractive. This will lead frustration to their wives, and increase divorce rate.
Popular TV shows from 1970s also show that chauvinists are the cause of the rise of divorce rate. Archie said to his daughter after he knew his daughter’s applying a job, “You ain't applying for no job, a women's price is till in the home.” If a husband tried to stop his wife from doing her “creative job”, then the marriage most likely won’t last for long. It will result in a no-fault divorce and increase divorce rate.

HW4.2
Who is to blame for America's trend toward high divorce rates, starting in the 1970s?
The no fault divorce policy in 1970s caused husbands to leave their family because a full time hearing and proof of cause was not required. As long as the couple agreed, they can have an inexpensive no fault divorce. This caused a high divorce rate in the 1970s.
Men are to be blamed for high divorce rates in the 1970s because men didn’t respect their wife. They expect their wife to do all the house works. For example, taking care of children, and preparing meals. Many wives felt that they were unimportant, especially in their husband’s eye.
Housewives were also called “soccer moms” because while moms are taking care of child, dads are checking on other young women. Men leave their family to find younger women because they want to prove themselves that they are still attractive. This leads frustration to their wives, and increase divorce rate.

Sem2. HW8
"Non-violent resistance to injustice was a good strategy for southern civil rights leaders."
Non-violent resistance to injustice was a good strategy. For example, Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955, which the Supreme Court upheld that segregation on buses was unconstitutional in 1956. Martin Luther King Jr got people’s support and helped African American get more rights.
On the other hand, Non-violent resistance wasn't a very good strategy in some ways. For example, “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” People tried to march to Birmingham city in 1963. However, white police will arrest them or set the snarling dog to attack them.
