- Ronald Reagan ran on a platform of cutting the size of government and ending the Soviet Union by building up the American military. Conservatives argue that he successfully did both. Do you agree or disagree and why?
- One of the long-cherished goals of conservative politicians is the dismantling of much of FDR’s New Deal. They believe that this will spark economic growth and force people to be more self-reliant. Liberals argue that this attitude is what led to the Great Depression at the end of the 1920s. Which side do you think is right?
- What was the counter culture of the 1960s? How did it relate to the anti-war and civil rights movements of that period? What aspects of the counter-culture do we see in our society today?
- During the 1950s the United States went through what is called the second Red Scare. What specifically led to that and how did it compare to the first Red Scare of the post WWI period?
- Arguably, the Civil Rights Movement which began in the late 1940s and continued to the early 1970s was the most important social movement of the 20th Century. Do you agree with this position? Discuss the civil rights efforts of this period and compare Dr. King’s approach to achieving civil rights for African Americans with the Black Power Movement of the late 1960s.
- The role of women in American society has changed dramatically over the past fifty plus years. Discuss the rise of the women’s movement of the late 1960s and how it challenged traditional roles for women in our society. Tell me whether you think that movement has been successful and where it was not successful.
- The Watergate Scandal brought down the administration of Richard Nixon in 1974. What was this scandal and why were Nixon’s actions so terrible that he was forced from office.
- The Vietnam Conflict was the most controversial war in American history since the Civil War. What led us into this conflict and what arguments were given by the Anti-War movement for why we should have gotten out of that war? Do you think the protesters were right or wrong?
