When examining all of the events that happened in the 90’s, many factors could lead to how babies will grow up. Such as the Grunge Era, which could have exposed some fetuses to drugs, and to Alternative rock. Moreover, Desert Storm was in full swing, so this potential exposure to war for fetuses makes babies more susceptible to all of the side effects that come from participating in a war, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In addition, there is a possibility that children born in the 90’s, when there was a huge rise in computers, have an affinity for technologies due to their parent having experience with it. Lastly, from what I have learned about fetuses and brain development, that as the fetus is growing in the mother, they are growing
American democracy is fluid; it is constantly evolving and changing. The earliest divide in American politics stems from the very establishment of the government. Regardless of the hope the American founders possessed, political parties began to form almost immediately as the country began to take shape. Today, the two main parties are the Democrats and the Republicans, however each party was not always the same at their start as they are currently.
In history, it seems inarguably true that when a nation advanced in power and wealth, changes will soon followed. These changes affected the political, economic and social system of that nation, and often came as an advantage for wealthy individuals, while detrimental to others less fortunate. An example of this notion can be seen in American History. After the Civil War and the Reconstruction Era, America quickly surpassed Great Britain in industrial production thus became the leading nation in industrialization. However, great things do not come without a cost; the rapid technological expansion in the US would initiate the crisis of the 1890s. The crisis of the 1890s was the shift from the rural and agrarian society to a modern urban and industrial society.
“Just Say No!” A statement that takes us deep into yet another decade in the history of the United States which was excited by controversies, social issues, and drug abuse. The topic of this statement is fueled by the growing abuse of cocaine in the mid 1980s. I shall discuss the effects of the crack cocaine epidemic of the mid 1980s from a cultural and social stand point because on that decade this country moved to the rhythms and the pace of this uncanny drug. Cocaine took its told on American society by in the 1980s; it ravaged with every social group, race, class, etc. It reigned over the United States without any prejudices. Crack cocaine was the way into urban society, because of its affordability in contrast to the powdered form. In society the minorities were the ones most affected by the growing excess of crime and drug abuse, especially African Americans; so the question was “Why was nearly everybody convicted in California federal court of crack cocaine trafficking black?” (Webb: Day 3). The growing hysteria brought forth many questions which might seem to have concrete answers, but the fact of the matter is they are all but conspiracy in the end, even though it does not take away the ambiguity and doubt. I will take on only a few topics from the vast array of events and effects this period in time had tended to. Where and who this epidemic seemed to affect more notably, and perhaps how the drugs came about such territories and people. What actions this countries authority took to restore moral sanity, and how it affected people gender wise.
I believe that the Vietnam War (1954-1975) was one of the most important events in the 1960’s because it was a highly controversial and covered heavily by media. Vietnam was the first war to be videotaped by reporters for the public to see on a daily bases. Before this everything was filmed by the government and edited to show how great of a job we were doing but in Vietnam reporters didn’t have that kind of restriction on their filming. Some reporters would go to the front lines and give the American public a look into the horrors of the war. This negative press that the war got, usually portrayed the American soldier in Vietnam as a blood thirsty savage, that would shoot at anything that came in their path. This was really not the case but the public didn’t know that and quickly came to the conclusion that the war was unjust. Many felt that America was meddling with another countries Civil War and that American soldiers should begin to be withdrawn from Vietnam and return to their families. Men around the country were also very unhappy because the draft could take you from your everyday life and you could be sent to Vietnam to fight for a cause that they didn’t believe in and do nothing about it or risk spending time in prison and or paying a heavy fine. The American government thought the war was just because they were fighting of communist whom have different views than our capitalist run country but the American people thought still that we should leave Vietnam.
In today’s technological society it is hard to imagine that trivial things from the past like discrimination or prejudice are still present, but they are. Yes we still have racism, but for the most part this is only a problem of the less educated and vocal minority. There is a different prejudice that is deep rooted in this land of freedom and prosperity. This prejudice is sexism.
The nineteen eighties were known for new music genres becoming popular, space travel, new technologies, and a galore of fun and interesting things. This is the life of an average human in the nineteen eighties but as you dig deeper into the eighties and look between the lines you will discover many things about the nineteen eighties, such as its economic, social and political state. In the nineteen eighties Canada benefited greatly and saw great prosperity socially and politically but economically there were many negatives as well as positives.

President Jimmy Carter once said, “We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.” This quote perfectly describes the tumultuous events that occurred during the 70s. People had to reevaluate their principles and make life changing adjustments. Scandals, massacres, and controversial court hearings are just a few of the many happenings that occurred and this is just a glimpse of the chaos the decade of the 1970s had to bring. The Webster Dictionary defines tumultuous as involving a lot of confusion, violence, and disorder. The tumultuous 70s brought turmoil and discord. Ranging between the Watergate Scandal that resulted in the resignation of President Nixon, to the Supreme Court decision on abortion, and even including the Munich Massacre that killed 11 Israeli Olympians. One journalist described this decade as "the sober, gloomy seventies", and they were just that. This decade was nothing short of a tumultuous few years.
William Jefferson Clinton?s eight-year term as president of the United States of America was one of the most corrupt, and possibly the most damaging ever. There is evidence connecting him to hundreds of deaths, injuries, and explosions. He, along with his administration, made a number of ?Faustian bargains and policy blunders?
The 90’s were a time in America where wars were fought and legends were made. It was about people believing in themselves and knowing what it takes to accomplish a dream of theirs. Although this was a hard time for America like the world trade bombing and the gulf war some people achieved something that they weren’t supposed to and went through so much to get to where they are today. Some examples of these outgoing people are Michael Jordan, Herschel Walker, and Barry Sanders. This is an essay about all of that the 90’s.
“If you think about the brain and the brain development if we don’t stimulate the brain then of course there is going to be lack of development.” (“Unruh”). Development is sempiternal in life, it moves through many stages into life such as learning to grasp a fork properly to grasping the thought of death. General development stages begin at birth and last till about age of 18, but the most important development stages start from birth and last till about six years of age. These early stages will affect how one will behave, interpret, and learn throughout the duration of one’s life. While bodily changes are rapidly occurring and the beginning of thought, opinion, and reason are just forming. It is important to understand as future parents or caregivers how and when their child, even if premature, is developing socially, cognitively, or physically.
There are various activities that can harm the development of cognition in children. Two of the major things that harm cognitive development during the pregnancy are drug use and malnutrition. After the child is born, there are several ways to harm the development. Exposing them to too much TV is one way, even if it is an education show. It is recommended that any infant under 2 not be allowed to watch TV. Another factor that is harmful is a stressful environment. Stressful environments include dirty houses, malnutrition, argumentative parents, etc. Finally, the last factor that I will list is not providing the infant with either formula or breast milk. Some parents do not breast feed and cannot afford formula, so they turn to regular milk, this does not provide them with all the nutrients that the infant needs to develop properly. If any of these factors contribute to a child's development, th...
The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was horrifying for people in the Western Hemisphere. Many experts refer to it as being close to a World War III: a fatal nuclear war. On October 22, 1962 a well-known photojournalist Neal Boenzi attended a UN meeting to make a report over the outcomes of the meeting. Boenzi took a few photographs during the meeting, but the one that changed the world was the one in which U.S Ambassador Adlai Stevenson confronts a Soviet Ambassador over nuclear missiles in Cuba. This photograph raised the suspension level even higher; it confused many lives because it portrayed aggression between the U.S and Cuba. Ever since the publication of this photograph, the U.S government and the World have learned how to overcome terror and learned how to cope in a time of crisis.
Gap, although it was successful in the 1980 's and 90 's, it could not catch up the ground they lost in the 21st century. According to the figure 2.3 in chapter 2 of "Strategic Management In Action," the diagram shows that the critical success factors are the ability to embrace change, creativity and innovation capabilities, and being a world-class organization. The Gap in the 80 's and 90 's was the world-class organization when it came to the staple American fashion but they failed in creativity and innovation. As the trends of fashion changed in the 21st century the Gap could not adapt to the change. Instead, they lost their credibility and stores like H&M took over. When I think of the Gap, I think of over-priced boring clothes. There is
