| What conditions existed which created the need for this movement. There are several events that led to the Civil Right Movement which started in the 1950’s. One of the events was the assassination of Malcom X and another would be the bus boycott that started with American Civil Right Activist, Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat on a bus. What did this movement accomplish? With the Civil Rights Movement, African Americans gained civil rights equal to white Americans which also included equal education, housing, and equal employment opportunity. The biggest achievement was the equal right to vote for women and African Americans. What was the United States Government’s response to this movement? The U.S. Government responded by proposing and signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. What is an issue that remains to this day? After the many accomplishment of the civil rights movement, today many minorities are facing many issues today like equal pay, and racism. Racism has been a problem ever since this country was founded and to this day it still persists as a problem to the minorities. Discrimination results from racism which is what the majority of the minorities are facing. For example, the citizens of the United States think the people of the middle eastern countries are bad people which is why people in the United States discriminates against the people from the middle east. Equal is not a big issue as it used to be, but it still does exist for some minorities. For instance, according to Patten (2016) “In 2015, average hourly wages for black and Hispanic men were $15 and $14, respectively, compared with $21 for white men”. Despite the progress we have made with the equal pay act, we still some ways to go before we could fully see equal pay for everybody. Abroad: How did the United States’ relationship to the world change during the Cold War, and to what extent did this pave the way for the events that we are witnessing in the world today? Provide at least one specific example of a foreign policy event which took place during the Cold War to support your position. The U.S. had to reestablish a critical alliance with Japan which supported the new realities of the Cold War (Vogel, 1992). Two major foreign policy events of the Cold War were between the United States and the USSR. Not one state or individual nation but both the U. S. and the Soviet Union hoped to reshape the world according to their own values, beliefs, and economic systems (Barnes & Bowles, 2014, sec.10.1, para. 6).In 1994 President Clinton went to Moscow and reaffirmed previous declarations of U.S. – Russian cooperation with Russian President Yeltsin, and took steps to dissolve military aspects of the Cold War (“United States relations with Russia: After the cold war,” 2007). One example would be the Truman Document. The Truman Document changed the United States in its approach to the Cold War by providing political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from external or internal authoritarian forces (“Milestones: 1945–1952,” 1947).
