U2/Paramore

Yes...

I can't believe the news today

Oh, I can't close my eyes

And make it go away

How long...

How long must we sing this song

How long, how long...

'cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...

Broken bottles under children's feet

Bodies strewn across the dead end street

But I won't heed the battle call

It puts my back up

Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun

There's many lost, but tell me who has won

The trench is dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters

Torn apart

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long...

How long must we sing this song

How long, how long...

'cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...tonight...

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your tears away

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

And it's true we are immune

When fact is fiction and TV reality

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

The real battle just begun

To claim the victory Jesus won

On...

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Sunday Bloody Sunday...

This song describes how much they are against war and how it is killing and tearing apart families. It also mentions how people are not aware of what is happening until people die. In my opinion I love this song and think it is completely true about the reality of war today.

Top.12 Concept Guide

Truman Doctrine - a policy that was set by the Harry Truman who was the U.S President saying that the U.S would support with economic and military aid to prevent their falling into the Soviet Sphere.

Containment Policy - It was a United States policy to use military and economic strategies to not let the spread of communism occur and prevent the domino effect.

War Powers Act - a federal law intended to check the power of the President in committing the United States to an armed conflict without the consent of Congress.

World War II Foreign Policy Vs. Post - WWII Foreign Policy - Prior to WWII American foreign policy was isolationist. We felt that other nations problems, particularly their wars, were their own business and we avoided getting involved unless we felt directly threatened. As a result of WWII though we decided that threats to peace and freedom elsewhere in the world did affect us, that if we ignored serious trouble in the world it would probably eventually find us. Thus after the war we became internationalist using our power and prestige to help and protect our friends and acting to prevent wars wherever possible or to minimize them when they did break out.

Limited War - conflict that those participating in the war did not use all the available resources.

Containment in Europe - Prisons, police departments, and judicial systems

End of the Cold War - The fall of the Berlin wall and the separation of the Soviet Union.

Domino Theory - Theory that if one state in a region came under communism than the surrounding countries would follow in a domino effect.

Nixon's Detente - Easing the relations between the Soviet Union and the U.S

MLK vs. Malcolm X

MLK and Malcolm X are different in the many ways of methodology . Martin Luther King was more effect in his way of approaching the Civil Rights Movement, the reason being being that he has a more common way of approaching it. He showed both sides of the story and looked at the situation from both point of views, which therefore makes the people want to hear about it and understand where you're coming from easier. Where as Malcolm X just said how he felt and what he thought should be changed, he was very blunt with his idea of approaches. For example, one of his quotes says “Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.” He believed you should fight back, which doesn't help with making peace. Where Martin Luther believed if someone hits you hug them, and stay strong and be happy no matter what they do or say to you. Martin Luther was more of a peaceful and civil man. People thought very highly of him and still do today, you talk about him all through out your school years and we even have a holiday for him. Where as in Malcolm X you rarely here about him, and don't acknowledge him as much. Martin Luther King had a greater impact on the Civil Rights Movement and our lives today than any other!

You can infer that other races aside from the white population had less of an opportunity to go to college where as they had more of an opportunity to go to high school. College costs money and if your family did not have that chances are you wouldn't go, there was no such thing as college loans like there are today. I think that it also depends on the family itself and their culture, some cultures believe you have to go to school to get the education you need to achieve greatness, whereas others feel the complete opposite.

Topic 11. Concept Check.

MLK and Civil Disobedience- Martin Luther King said to hug those who are mean to you rather than harm them, that way no matter what they do to you they can never win.

Power of the “Mob” - the mob would come after the black people that tried to protest and tried to harm them.

Plessy v. Ferguson vs. Brown v. Board of Education Brown vs the board of education- deals with brown's daughter not being able to go to the closest school to where they lived because it was a "white" school. So she'd have to she'd have to travel just to get to class on a daily basis. Brow's argument was they should have the right to go to each school and attacked the law of "separate but equal." Brown's argument was accounted for and became a law, although each school could have as much time as they wanted to become segregated. Which still caused problems.

Civil Rights Goals - the civil rights movement deals with the struggle against racial segregation, taking away separate but equal, with lots of protests and arguments.

Eisenhower’s Role in Little Rock- The refusal by Arkansas to honor a Federal Court order to integrate the schools. Eisenhower sent Army troops to escort nine black students to Little Rock Central High School.

Rights of the Accused - If accused you had to go to jail.

Chavez and the United Farm Workers- Chavez founded the United Farm Workers. He organized strikes and civil disobedience for immigrant workers, although he was anti-immigration. He took part in the Delano grape strike which was the first strike of its kind and gained attention from publicity. Chavez believed in fasting to support a cause.

FHA and ADA - FDA is the Federal Housing Administration and ADA is Americans with Disabilities Act.

Purpose of Filibusters - To make a speech, such as MLK did and make it meaningful where after the lecture people wanted to go stand up for what they believe and and not stop.

Sit-Ins and Other Protests- sit ins were where people (not only blacks) would sit at a cafe, ask for a menu and not get up. people might throw food on them or even hit them but they would stay seated until a cop would come pull them away, then right after another person would come ask for a menu and the process would go on and on and on. Another protest was the "freedom rider" where people would go on a bus down to the deep south and go against the Jim crow law. Which ended with buses being bombed. It was very dangerous to partake in this protest.

The Negative Side on Television

http://www.squidoo.com/influence-of-media-on-children

Television today impacts our life negatively by causes health related issues. There are millions of advertisements promoting poor food choices targeted at little kids. By watching these shows and commercials it influences them to eat poorly. Watching television also results in inactivity which then leads to weight gain and poor fitness levels.

Not only in health but television also portrays girls to have amazing swim suit model bodies which in reality is not true nor always healthy. Which leads to woman having low self-esteems and mental health problems.

Norman Rockwell Painting

On December 25, 1950 the Fidzerson family heard a loud thumping noise, could it be? Santa had finally arrived? The three little kids ran to the window expecting to find an old man in a red suit, but instead found piles and piles of snow scattered throughout their whole neighborhood. A few minutes later Buster the family dog started barking historically. Little Johnny then screamed "Papa! He's home!" In response Mamma replied with "A Beautiful Christmas Miracle."
