LBJ Law Review

Public Broadcasting Act of 1967

This act set up public broadcasting in the United States in 1967, and also the the corporation for public broadcasting. And after that there were PBS and NPR. Lyndon B. Johnson was the one to signed the act into law on November 7, 1967. He told about the purpose of it. This law was about how our nation wants more than material wealth, we want more than a "chicken in every pot". American wants more than anything to enrich man's sprit. That was the biggest part of this act.
This is going to give a stronger and wider voice to television and radio, this act would give new funds for broadcasting. Let the television be used more widely in classrooms. And it would also build new institutions like corporation of public broadcasting.

This was a very good thing for the nation, it would make public broadcasting more widely used. Its something that would help the nation. It would also make classroom activities more interesting to students. This was one of the best decisions that the legislation has made. Giving more information out to the nation was a very good idea.

Exam 3

#1.
During the 50's and 60's there wasn't very much technology around. The most technology they had was video cameras. There video camera took a very big part in the 1960's, this video camera caught the shooting of John F. Kennedy. This changed history by having the video of that day. Without the guy that taped this and him having this camera, there wouldn't be proof of this seen. Which makes it a large part of the changing in technology during this time. Also there have been more events in history that have proven that technology has a very big part in our history. As in the hanging of Saddam Hussain. This was another turning point in the history of technology, having a cell phone that could video tape the seen of Saddam Hussain. Unlike the iraq governoment, this tape has sounds showing what they were saying to Saddam Hussain, the goverment wanted it to look like it was just a easy and fast killing and had nothing to do with names calling. Which the technology of the cell phone proved that this wasn't the way that it all went down.


#2
Martin Luther King was one of the major civil rights leaders of his time. Martin Luther King was a inspirational speaker, he spoke about how blacks should have there rights. and also how badly they were treated. He was the type of leader that made all types of people understand where he was coming from. Martin Luther King was a very big leader by his speeches. He is still known for the words he spoke years ago. Huey Newton was a co-founder and leader of the black panthers. This was a african american organization established to promote Black Power, civil rights and self-defense. He was a very violinet person, but he lead by example, being the co-founder of the black panther, and leading this he was more of a action tpye of leader. Malcolm X was a very big part of the movement in civil rights, He worked with Martin Luther King witht he movement. He was an African-American activist leader who had pride for the Black race.


#3
The goal of the Soviet Union was spread world-wide Communism, there was a iron curtian in place between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union wanted nothing to do with the United states, just because they weren't communest. The two different political systems of the two different countries prevented them from reaching a agreement, and settling things between them.

Letter

Dear,
I understand what happened the day of John F. Kennedy muder. John Kennedy was assassined November 22, 1963 at 12:30 p.m in Dallas, Texas. John Kennedy was 45 years old at the time of his death. He was shot 3 times, by Harvey Oswald. He was the lone gunmen, shot twice in the head and in the neck. There were three total shots in under 9 seconds.

I didn't really think that there was only one shooter. It is really hard to believe that Harvey Oswald was the only shooter in this sisuation. Is there real proof that there was only one gunmen? And Was it really that big of a deal to shoot a president just because he was well liked? Would there of been a different outcome in those years of presidence if Jonh Kennedy wasn't shot.

I want to know was this expericence moving, did it bother you personaly? This was something that effected out country, and i was wondering if it affected alot of people or was it just blowen over. I think that the theroy of the lone gunmen is imposible, just because of three shots gone off in 9 seconds. That's not really believeable that one person did that. Also, more than this one man had to of known what was going to happen. Harvey Oswald had to of told someone in his planning of this.

There isn't much of a differnce between this muder and the presiency now. With Barack Obama as our new president, and john kennedy as the president than there are many things that are the same. The thought of assassintion now is a very big thought. This is just like John F. Kenndey presidency he was well liked, but Barack Obama would get assassined because of being well liked it would be more of a reason that hes black, not well liked.

Book Portfolio

The Art of the Lathe was written by B.h. Fairchild, It's the kind of book you don't want to put down its good. The Art of the Lathe was a book full of poems, which were about factory life, the good and bad things that happen. This book shows you how there's always going to be bad and good in everything you do. Like working in a factory your hole life you would think that there wouldn't be anything good that comes out of it. In the Art of the Lathe there are many things shown that are good. The historical part of this book connects back to the days where everything was made with factories and everyone depened on them for everything. In this book it talks about different peoples expericences with of factories. There are alot of things from this book that would give you a perspective on different things. There are alot of things talked about.

This book has alot to do with the historcal events during the days where everyone worked in factories, and when they made very little money for doing so. From one of the poems in the book which was called smoking, it talked about when they'd go out and smoke and how it was such a popular thing that was done. Everyone during this time was a smoker because they didn't know how bad it was for you. Most of the book focus on the work of the middle class. Things like machine shops and oil fields of rural Kansas. The Art of the Lathe's main focus was on teaching about how different life use to be and showing how that in any life time there are always means for living your life. These people in the Art of the Lathe didn't have much to live for, but they showed how one little thing could help them get through a bad time.

Having diffculties when living wasn't something that people of this century just came upon. This is something that has been going on for a very long time. Having a hard life is something that people from all generations have had to deal with, like during this book everyone had something they had to work through. The Art of the Lathe teaches alot of thing, one being that hardship is a very hard thing to deal with, everyone has to deal with it and it's been around for ever. The poems from the Art of the Lathe really how the hardsips, like in the poem Hitchcock it shows how living in all of these new places can be hard but it can always get better. No matter what century you live it there's always going to be something you'll have to deal with thats hard to do.

When reading this book it makes you think about the different things you have gone through, like how people have help you through hard times. Like in this book pretty much everything they did was a hard time just because of the day and age they were living in. Most of the peoms wouldn't talk about this directly, it would be shown by the way the people were acting towards things that they had to do.

The Art of the Lathe was a book full of poems, about factory life the good and bad things that went on. The history of the book came in when it was shown that everyone and everything was in the olden days. It was easy to tell what day and age they were in, just because of some of the things they did. Having a hard time with life in general is something everyone has to go through in this book it's a little more to deal with sence this is there hole life. The importance of realizing that hardship is something that you can grow from is a big thing. When reading this book you can tell that these people had no hope. Having hope and knowing that theres going to be an end to the bad, is the best thing to think about.

Space Race

We engaged in this space race so that we could orbit the Earth and find out new things. We wanted to be the frist on the moon. The United States wanted to not just be the frist at this, they wanted to be the only ones that went to the moon. We wanted to do something that was not easy something that was hard. This was a waste of time and a waste of money. We could of used the mosey that we used on something else that was more important. This was pointless and I think that it could of been done differently. We didn't have to go to the moon it was a waste of time and money.

The next thing that we should focus on is getting our country out of debt. This is something way more important because that's something that we need to do. We're spending our money on going to the moon that isn't even that important. When people just wanted to see it and see what it was like, this money could of saved things like health carem, and alot of other things that are not very good. We should spend our money on importantness, not on something that people want to look at and see what its like. We should concentrate on the more important things, not the foolish things.

Exam #2

The War on terror started BoldSeptember 11, 2001 with the attack on the United States. This was an attack that Afghanistan and iraq bombed the twin towers, pentagon, and atamped to bomb the white house, but ended up hitting a feild in Vigrina. After this happened, president Bush took charge, he said that the United States will hunt down and punish the people responseable for this event. Osama bin Laden was the one in charge of this event and invloved in this entire thing. The bombers were men that trained in a air plane school in Florida, that tought them how do get control and fly a plane. There were alot of people missing and alot of people dead cause of this event. The United states wanted to show that they weren't going to allow this to happen, and that they are tough. There are two ways this could of gone, either President Bush could of either declaired War on Iraq or they could of not. President Bush declaried war on Iraq and not long after there were American troops in these counrties.

There are many things said that are the reason that they have attacked the United States. There were things said like they thought that the freedom of the United States were not right, they thought that the we should be musilum like them. There were other things said like they attacked us because we wanted the oil that they had.

There are also reasons why we invated iraq. President Bush told the United States that there were wepaons of mass distration. That was the main reason that we went into iraq, the president told us that. Come to find out there were no wepaons of mass distration. We were going over to iraq to be in a war with them and try into slove there problems. This was a matter that we as the United States didn't need to get into. The United States shouldn't of gotten into anything with iraq, there were not real traces from the men that hay jacked the planes to the iraq people, yes they were from there but no one really knows if anyone in iraq was invloed in this.

Presidents
President Bill Clintion was the best president out of George H. W. Bush and Grorge W. Bush. There were many things that Bill Clintion did that shows he was a better president than either George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush. Both of the Bush presidents were around for the war on tarrisom. They both were part of the war of tarrisom. Both of the George H. W. Bush and George W.
