what inspired you to pursue higher education and how your background has impacted your goals.
I work with special needs children/adults and one of the high school students that has down syndrome said he was going to college which made me think if he can do why can’t I.
I think with working with people with disabilities has made me realize that this population needs more help in the medical field and in general. Which makes me want to help the less unfortunate. I also volunteer at the hospital in the oncology department ( I have over 400+ hours)
I don’t know how you can tie that in.

World War II shaped the course of American history perhaps more than any other set of events. Overseas, the U.S. abandoned neutrality and engaged with allies to a greater extent than ever before as Germany and Japan rampaged across Europe and Asia. At home, the U.S. pursued full-scale war mobilization with a level government spending that dwarfed the New Deal and unprecedented control over economic production. In the end, the bloodiest and most destructive conflict in history cost 60-80 million lives around the world and reshaped life for various groups of Americans during and after the war. What aspects of World War II at home or abroad do you think might connect to issues and events in the world today?

24. World War II

Part II.
After World War II, U.S. economic and military power extended beyond the Western Hemisphere into Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa while global powers like Britain and France retreated from their empires. As the U.S. expanded its influence around the world, it actively sought to “contain” communism to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe through both interventions in foreign countries as well as the rapid expansion of nuclear weapons and aerospace technology. At home, the Cold War took the form of “red scare” anti-communist hysteria that required adherence to Christian nationalist values and attacked academics, Hollywood figures, and even government officials as “deviants.” Do you think there are connections between various aspects of the Cold War and issues and events today?

25. The Cold War

Part III
The G.I. Bill, the continuation of key New Deal programs, suburbanization, and the Baby Boom contributed to a massive expansion of the consumer capitalist economy in Post-WWII America. The growing middle class could now afford to own homes, automobiles, and a huge variety of household goods recently considered luxury items. But such affluence was not enjoyed equally among all groups of Americans. Racial minorities were largely shut out of homeownership, perhaps the most important aspect of middle class life, and continued racial oppression prompted new efforts in the struggle for Black freedom. Traditional gender roles were reinforced by the men who controlled the major institutions of society and women who weren’t confined to the home were limited in their opportunities outside the home. Also simmering below the surface of the Affluent Society was a cultural rebellion, mostly among young people, represented by Rock ‘n’ Roll, jazz, and the beat movement.

26. The Affluent Society

Part IV
The 1960s in America was a decade of social and political volatility at home and brewing Cold War conflict overseas. The counterculture movement emerged as a rejection of the conformist middle class values of consumer capitalism. The Black Freedom movement entered a new phase with Sit-Ins, Freedom Rides, and other direct action protests confronting ongoing Jim Crow racial oppression in the South, while inner city black populations in places like Los Angeles and Detroit exploded in violence in response to grinding poverty and racist police brutality, prompting the Black Power movement and new ideas about Black identity. Latinos, women, the LGBT community, environmental activists, and others organized similarly against various forms of oppression and injustice. Several of these protest movements dovetailed with the growing antiwar movement that emerged as the U.S. waged a brutal war in Vietnam. Cold War anxieties were already heightened after the botched Bay of Pigs invasion and the subsequent Missile Crisis in Cuba, which had brought the world closer than ever to the brink of nuclear war.

Overview
Reflexivity is reflection for the purpose of personal growth and for developing deeper understanding. Sometimes this understanding is of ourselves; sometimes it allows us to understand others. When we develop a better understanding of others and what they experience, we can grow, even if only in small ways. These journals are a tool to promote that growth.
Requirements
In a journal entry of at least 250 words, record your thoughts about these questions:

  Rent control is an example of a price ceiling. Price ceilings keep prices low for consumers. We can clearly see that sellers (landlords in this case) are worse off. Consider if there is an argument to be made that consumers are worse off, too. a) After watching the Seinfeld video clip, discuss how some consumers are made better off and some are not in a rent-control situation. b) What kinds of rationing mechanisms would develop to help allocate the few apartments that are available?
