Naser Naser American History 2 Honors

The Civil Rights Act ended segregation in many places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin, is considered one of the best known national  achievements of the civil rights movement. First introduced by President John F. Kennedy, it survived strong opposition from southern members of Congress and was then signed into law by Kennedy’s "hero", Lyndon Johnson. In following years, Congress expanded the act and passed additional civil rights legislation such as the Voting Rights Act. The Civil Rights Act was a very powerful act even though the protesters used no violence to get their point across. This event was known as a "national cleansing" meaning that America was cleaned from all the racism and segregation and had many new things come up such as hippies, interracial marriage, and a lot more.  

There are many claims and statements on what exactly caused World War 2 and the answer for that is that there is no one specific cause. There were causes that were bigger than others but there was not one in particular. The causes ranged from the birth of the Nazi party, Hitler becoming and a dictator, fear in communism, genocide of Jews, and all the loose end World War 1 has created. Also when you look at the big picture you can see how many things linked to each other such as the ending of World War 1 lead to putting the blame on the Germans causing them to be angry resulting in the Nazi party eventually leading to Hitler, his plan to conquering multiple countries and killing thousands of innocent people. If you want to find a cause of something that may be troubling you first have to ask whether there is more than one cause of the situation or not.

As humans we are from a time that without WiFi and TV feels strange, weird, and uncomfortable. In the 20's and 30's entertainment was as simple as it got. You could get drunk if your old enough and if your not then you could go to a movie theater for hours and sit there and have a good time. In the year 2018 its much more different, we still like to go to movie theaters and getting drunk is still a very widespread known thing but in this time of age compared to the past we have a lot more options. Such as we could go on vacations very easily in other countries whenever we want and we technology that can give us a good time such as video games, movies, virtual reality, and many more. The things that gave people in the 20's and 30's entertainment is the same as now but we have a much wider variety of things to do.

The war can be argued that it was good for the United States but based off the research I have made, the war had no positive effect on the United States whatsoever and even had many negative effects too. As soon as the war broke out the United States tried to stay out the war and the United Sates could have stayed out the war but because of false tension, we go mixed into the war. When the war was over it had the United States in so much debt and created a even greater fear towards immigrants causing cults and organizations to go against and even killed those of other race and religion, such as the Klu Klux Klan. Many sources state that multiple types of war is a chance to replenish a country and in some ways its right but WW1 was a complete massacre and a waste of the United States and the whole worlds time.

Global warming is only ever going to get worse. The fossil fuels that we release out into the air and the factories releasing poisonous gases in the air will only encourage the process of the globe heating up. Most of the ways the earth is heating are up are ways that we have never heard of but I am here to make this situation heard.    In the 1990s, scientists were scrambling to fill a huge gap in the systems that measure the Earth's warming climate. Space satellites suggested the missing pieces might be found in the vast expanses of the world's oceans, which store more than 90 percent of the heat the planet receives from space. We must act now and take much higher precautions towards saving our planet. Many species are significantly decreasing and even more of them are extinct because of global warming. There are so many solutions such as solar panels and reduce the waste emitted by factories but they are still not the significant change that this world is entirely benef

Transcontinental Railroad By: Naser Naser A transcontinental railroad is a contiguous network of railroad track that crosses a continental land mass with terminals at different oceans or continental borders. Such networks can be via the tracks of either a single railroad, or over those owned or controlled by multiple railway companies along a continuous route. Although Europe is crisscrossed by railways, the railroads within Europe are usually not considered transcontinental. Transcontinental railroads helped open up underpopulated interior regions of continents to exploration and settlement that would not otherwise have been feasible. In many cases they also formed the backbones of cross-country passenger and freight transportation networks. The government also agreed with the Transcontinental Railroad because it gave people a reason to travel from place to place and also because it opened a new way of communication all across America and getting to know the land in each re
