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.

"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.

How effective was the burning of Washington during the War of 1812?
Both historians agree the question by stating the process of Burning of Washinton differently.
In Washington, DC, Part 3, the authors only wrote a paragraph describing the process of Burning of Washington during the War of 1812. However, they stated that when the burning of Washington was over, most of the city’s public building had been torched. This shows it’s effective to the US.
In 1812: war with American, the author spent a whole chapter on Burning of Washington. He had stated that at first American take no effective action toward the British. However, after the British started to burn Washington, the US government started to act. This also shows it’s effective to the US.

"How does the CIA's activities in Iran show that the US behaves undemocratically in its foreign policy?"
The CIA overthrew Mossadeq in 1953 shows the US’s undemocratic behavior in its foreign policy. "The Chance for Peace" speech by Eisenhower states that ", any nation's attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible."
The CIA used Bribery in the 1950s also shows the US’s undemocratic behavior in its foreign policy. They bribed Iranian officials, religious leader, and local gangs. For example, Princess Ashraf, and force the shah to help the coup.
The CIA hired mobs to topple Mossadeq shows the US’s undemocratic behavior in its foreign policy. They tried to create riot by hiring Iranian mobs, so they can bring the leader down.

What arguments could be made FOR and AGAINST this statment: "America's poor, in the mid 20th century, were mostly responsible for their own problems."
Some said America’s poor were responsible for their own problems because of pauperism. Paupers rely on people’s donation and assist. However, there are still people who work called working poor. Working poor work hard to earn for their daily needs, but the salary is still not enough.
America’s poor can not be fully responsible for their own problem. For example, the Housing Act of 1949 and the urban renewal had both made urban poverty worse. The poor and their neighborhoods were bulldozed, so thousand of poverty had lost their houses.
