It gained national attention in 1965, when the US started bombing North Vietnam even more. The vast majority of the American people still supported the US involvement in the Vietnam war, but by the end of 1965, a small, outspoken, liberal minority was making its voice heard within the US.

War Protest Did you know that in 1965 to early 1970s there was a mecca for young Americans? It was called the Haight-Ashbury of San Francisco. They were opposed to the Vietnam War, but they weren’t satisfied with the institution and established culture. They wanted something new-the members shared living spaces and even experimented, sexually. The nearly 250,000 members only did this to share different lifestyle and ownership.

“Do I have to speak in front of everyone?” he asked. The buzz from my phone forced open my heavy eyelids. My body struggled for warmth as the frigid winter air cooled my bed. The message was from my friend of many years. He was anxiously preparing for our Class Council meeting which would be in two hours. “You can do this,” I managed to type back, despite blurry vision and extreme exhaustion. “I believe in you and what you have done. Be confident. They are going to love you.” A few weeks…

“Hello,” a young woman asked desperately. “Is this Oz Matthews?” “Yes, it is,” a man remarked. “How may I help you?” The woman said deliberately, “I need to report a crime.” “What is your name?” Oz Matthews asked vigorously. “Mrs. Smith,” the woman said. “There was a shooting at the concert in Central Park. Over thirty people are dead and a multitude are wounded. “I’ll look into it. Thanks for calling,” Oz Matthews said conclusively. He quickly hung up the phone. “Another mystery to solve…

oppression of basic human rights, perpetual torture, and constant infringements of the privacy and morals of the malnourished people. Banned in many countries and viewed as inhumane, cries from the constant torture echo throughout the chambers of North Korean Prisons. Oppressing guards order a mother to submerge her newborn child in a pool of water until the bubbles ceased to rise and the cries died out (Park 1). The belligerent prison guards corral the defenseless people into overfilled cells…

I do not believe that the Vietnam War was successful for the United States. I believe that it was not successful because cost many American lives, unpopular war for public, and did not stop communism from spreading. Our involvement in Vietnam started during Kennedy’s presidency. At the beginning of his presidency, President Kennedy wanted to stop the spread of communism in Vietnam. With this intention, he increased the number of American military advisors in Vietnam. President Kennedy hoped that…

The Truman doctrine supplied aid to the nations who refused to back down to armed invaders trying to inforce communism. Also it offered finical aid to those who did not give in to outside pressure. The Doctrine also backed those countries politically and it offered military support to those nations. Even if the Nations were engaged in civil war. Truman’s doctrine argued that the U.S. could not just stand by and watching while the Soviet Union took over former fellow democratic nations by force…
