The New Deal redefined the role of the government, convincing the majority of ordinary Americans that the government not only could but should intervene in the economy as well as protect and provide direct support for American citizens.
Historians and political scientists have most often linked the Great Society to the New Deal; there is no doubt that LBJ was committed to expanding the Rooseveltian reform structure, a phenomenon that he saw as organic rather than static. As he remarked in a March 1937 radio address: “If the administration program [the New Deal] were a temporary thing the situation would be different. But it is not for a day or for a year, but for an age. It must be worked out through time, and long after Roosevelt leaves the White House, it will still be developing, expanding. . . . The man who goes to Congress this year, or next year, must be prepared to meet this condition. He must be capable of growing and progressing with it.” In truth, the Great Society marked the culmination of the effort by liberals to use the concept of positive rights (the right to a decent education, a good job, adequate health care) as opposed to negative rights (freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the right to vote) to achieve social and economic justice.
But, ardent New Dealer though Johnson may have been, he realized that the 1960s were dramatically different from the 1930s. If the New Deal was about security and disengagement from the labor force through such devices as retirement pensions, unemployment compensation, and pensions for the worthy poor, the Great Society, in contrast, was about opportunity and labor force participation. The New Deal supported hard-pressed Americans at a time of economic catastrophe; the Great Society invested in people at the margins of the labor force at a time of economic opportunity. The New Deal was pessimistic, the Great Society optimistic. FDR wanted in the end to create a larger pie, but above all he wanted to ensure that the pieces of whatever pie that existed were more equitably distributed. Assured of an ever-growing pastry by postwar prosperity in general and by the Kennedy tax cut specifically, Johnson was more about political and educational empowerment of the poor and disadvantaged so that they could better compete. He did not on the whole support government-driven redistribution of wealth. He exhibited strong opposition to both guaranteed income measures and public works, favoring instead programs of social rehabilitation and affirmative action.
An “us against them” motif ran through each of the three great reform movements that preceded the Great Society. The Populists railed against bankers, middle men, and railroad magnates. The Progressives decried the threat posed to middle-class society by robber baron capitalists and ignorant, rootless immigrants. In his 1936 acceptance speech, FDR denounced “economic royalists” who were laboring to replace American democracy with an American plutocracy. Lyndon Johnson was determined to rule through consensus, to avoid pitting one group against another. Not only was this a personal inclination, but the stratagems developed for dealing with the civil rights crisis seemed to demand it, and the prevailing prosperity promised to permit it. LBJ made the enemy—the “them”—abstract. Poverty, ignorance, ill health were not the fault of a class or group—they were boils on the body politic. These things were not the result of evil intent or greed on the part of groups or individuals, but seemingly free radicals that everyone hoped to see eliminated from the environment.
The Great Society’s most glaring departure from Populism, Progressivism, and New Deal liberalism was its frontal assault on Jim Crow laws in the South. Despite their idealism, the reformers that preceded Johnson proved unwilling or unable to confront the issue of full citizenship and equality of opportunity for African Americans. In many respects, the interests of black Americans had been sacrificed in the drive by Populists, Progressives, and New Dealers to secure economic and social justice for male-dominated, white, working-class families. Even before he became president, LBJ decided that civil rights for black Americans was an issue that could not wait. If the United States was to retain its fundamental characteristics—individual freedom and democracy coupled with equality under the law and equal opportunity—the nation would have to turn its back on racism in both the public and private spheres. The Great Society would do what previous reform regimes had not dared attempt and in so doing move the nation forward in its ongoing effort to resolve the greatest American dilemma of them all.

the triangle factory fire
In a few sentences, explain the ways in which the fire could have been avoided.
Answer: The fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory could certainly have been prevented with the knowledge and procedures we use today. Its death toll could have been reduced if the doors had not been locked and the switchboard on the 9th floor had been in operation. Many of these deaths could have been prevented, but due to lax fire safety laws and few labor regulations, unsafe working conditions prevailed in New York's garment factories in the early 20th century. If the owners didn't avoid implementing safety measures and they would have installed a sprinkler system and had fire drills performed and had evacuation procedures in place and if they would have kept there aisles clear and not completely blocked with big crates of blouses and goods then more people would have been able to make it out of there. They also could have checked there pre-filled buckets that were strategically hung throughout the factory daily to make sure that they were filled with water and they could have also made sure that there fire hose wasn't old and rotten and rusted shut and made sure they had a good working fire hose. The building only had one fire escape, despite needing at least three to accommodate all 500 of the factory employees. It was too narrow to allow many of the people to pass through at once. The main point of escape was a single elevator that could only hold 12 people at a time and the operator only made four trips before it broke down. And also they could have had taller ladders that reached higher than the sixth floor. There were many ways this fire could have been avoided and it's very tragic that it had to happen at all.

What were the economic , social , and political causes of the War of 1812, and how did the outcome of the war advance America's identity? Put answer into your own words
Answer:
During the War of 1812, the American economy went through many changes. The British blockaded the eastern coast of the United States, which prevented the Americans from engaging in foreign trade. Decaying, centuries-old factories in the United States were restored and reused, while new factories were being built.
The war helped shape national identity by showing Americans that they needed greater infrastructure, a better and bigger army with better equipment.
The war was a sign for another national bank. The War of 1812 changed the course of American history. Because America had managed to fight the world's greatest military power to a virtual standstill, it gained international respect.
Furthermore, it instilled a greater sense of nationalism among its citizens. It also set the foundation for improved American-British relations and secured the long-term sovereignty of the American Republic. As a result of the end of the war, the Federalist Party collapsed, ushering in a period of time known as the ''Era of Good Feelings''.

What were Tribunals are why were they ineffective?
Answer:
The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) were established by the United Nations in 1993 and 1994 to apprehend and try individuals suspected of committing war crimes including genocide. The crimes that are prosecuted by these courts are the same, and the structure of the tribunals is also similar (indeed, they both share the same appellate court). However, the mandate of the ICTR is much more narrow and is limited both in terms of the period of time under investigation (one calendar year) as well as being limited to crimes that were committed only in Rwanda. Given the mandate and structure of these tribunals, many question their effectiveness. This article examines these tribunals and measures effectiveness by examining not only the number of indictments that have been handed down but the actual number of individuals apprehended. One of the criticisms of both tribunals is that the lack of success in apprehending suspects diminishes the deterrent effect of the tribunals. Based on a case study of the ICTY and the ITCR, we find that the lack of effective apprehension has reduced the deterrent effect of the tribunals and provided one of the primary justifications for the creation of an international criminal court.

Predict why you think J.A. Marriott said that famine had disappeared in India. Address the author's point of
view and how that affects his writing.
Famines were a frequent occurrence in South Asia until 1900, and were often
devastating in impact. A series of nineteenth century famines were triggered by harvest
failure. Food procurement for World War II, combined with a crop failure, caused the
harshest famine of the twentieth century, the 1943 Bengal famine. Famine-like conditions
recurred also in 1966 and in 1972, but the extent of starvation-induced death was limited on
both occasions. Why did these episodes develop? Why did they cause death and distress on a
very large scale at times? Why did the frequency of their occurrence fall in the twentieth
century?
The world history of famines tends to approach these questions by using two keywords,
‘natural’ and ‘manmade.’ These terms are not rigorously defined anywhere, but they are
widely used as a way to analyse the causes of famines and famine intensity.2
Usually, natural refers to a large and sudden mismatch between demand for and supply
of food, caused by a harvest failure, though the disastrous effects that follow can sometimes
be attributed to a prehistory of bad diet and malnutrition. Modern famine analysts and
historians owe their conception of ‘natural’ to Thomas Malthus. Malthus used the word
‘nature’ in a wide range of senses, including the ‘natural carelessness’ with which some
populations reproduced. But one meaning is particularly relevant in this context. This
meaning is expressed in the sentence: ‘Famine [is] the last and most dreadful mode by which
nature represses a redundant population.’ In other words, famine is the inevitable result of
overpopulation.3 Using ‘Indostan’ or India as one of his examples, Malthus suggested that the
yield of land was so low here and the population ordinarily lived with so little food that the
effect of a ‘convulsion of nature’ such as a crop failure could be immediate and devastating.
Manmade now-a-days almost always refers to some sort of political action that shifts
food away from one group to another.4
It connotes state failure. The state has a particularly
important role to play because famine relief should not be priced nor withheld from anyone.
State relief often fails to be enough, it is said, because politicians believe in an ideology that
advocates weak relief, and the political system allows them to get away with it. The political
factor is especially common during wars, in despotic regimes, and during temporary
