#4 21st Century essay
This essay question is really about what are some of the important issues of the Iraq war and how it is now in the future. To answer this I will say that Pres. Bush was suspicious of the Iraqis people and he sent in authorizations for weapons inspections. So later the U.S sent of thousands of troops. Our major job was to restore order to Iraq. In the future and presently right now before Barrack Obama became our present president, Pres. Bush and his policy makers increased the number of troops in Iraq. In the future as of right now we are still at war in Iraq. Hopefully Pres. Barrack Obama will begin to pull our troops out and I had that the president of Iraq wants to sit down with Barrack and dicuss what they are going to do now.

# 2 Post Cold War World Essay
This question deals with how technology that really boomed in the 90's helped us and how now in the future we have advanced. I will say like how in the 90's we had computers but when the dot.com boom happened it changed us technology forever. Businesses could put advertisments on the computer and become very popular. Another thing that helped us in the technology world was modern technology and the developement of the Internet. It became a way for people to connect and talk to each other and also it replaced the radio and the T.V in a big way. Another innovation that has helped us the use of robotics. It was used to help remote control planes and missiles. Also it was used in industrialism for helping to manufacture things in factories and companies. The last innovation was the further use of space exploration. They used this by going on planets and using it for satellites. It was created by the military. The six branches of the military now use it.

Sorry my contributions are late...wireless internet network was on the fritz -_-

To discuss some of the reasons for the economic crisis i would include discussing irresponsible bank lending. I would discuss how due to variable rates and fine print on the contracts, that people were signing into loans they could not pay for and inevitably would lose their homes. This would then lead to circulation of bad credit. The first half of Bush's 700billion dollar plan was then waisted by the banks in private use when it was supposed to be used to get good credit into the hands of citizens who could afford responsible loans. The new stimulus plan that our new president has created right now has ALOT of excess spending completely unrelated to stimulating the economy, and i feel that if it is not edited to remove some of the "pork" in the plan that the plan will be relatively ineffective. It could only further drag down our dollars value and cause more trouble that it is worth. I feel that if they can cut out all of this excess the plan will work to our country's advantage and will temporarily stimulate the economy so we can start getting people back to work to get our economy boosted for the long run.

For this essay i would argue that people have definitely benefited greatly for technology that has been created since the 1990's. The invention of more modernized cellular phones, and other hand held wireless communication devices have allowed people to have access not only to information wherever they are, but also everyone else in the world no matter where they are. The more the world is connected the better and more efficiently it can operate. So if your sitting on a bench at the park and you realize you need some research for a paper your writing, then all you need to do is pull out that blackberry and boom the internet is in your hands. That is just one example of how we have benefited. I'm sure everyone else has more ideas.

Everyday doctors and scientists are using technology to find out how to cure different diseases and about different procedures. I think cell phones and online access are also really helpful because it helps people communicate and find out new information about almost any topic. I think technology greatly benefits people and is being advanced every day to be even more helpful then it already is.

4. Imagine you are a historian in 2020 writing an article for publication in a high school history textbook on the Iraq War. How would you summarize the events and issues of the war? What conclusions would you draw?

The Iraq war was a very hard time for the people. I happened between the years of 2003-2010. The economy went through a crisis not just the U.S but the rest of the world also. There was a change in foreign policy our major goal now was to attack the terrorists. The U.S also entered its highest state of nuclear alert. On Dec 23 2005 Saddam and his son were captured then later executed. The Iraq was one of the worst wars the U.S went through.


2. Support or oppose the following statement: Americans have benefitted greatly from the technological innovations of the 1990’s and beyond. Use five specific examples to highlight your answer.

I agree with this statement because we are always adapting to new technology. Such as the internet, space exploration, medical treatments, cell phones. They are all everyday things that change our lives and we use everyday. We can use the internet to communicate with our friends and family all around the world and research information and expand our knowledge. Now everything is controlled by satellites that’s where space exploration comes in. there are more and more diseases and with the medical study we are able to cure and treat most of them. Cell phones are the main way people communicate with other people.

To answer this essay question i would talk about every since 9/11 and the war in Iraq it has been a disaster. Now the evidence that i would use to support it is 1.) We have spent over $ 1 trillion dollars after the bush administration alone and are looking towards 3 trillion ( washington post article) 2.) Also we could have stop the 9/11 innicident all together, beacuase there were eailer attacks in the 1990's and the Clinton Administration should of took this into conideration. 3.) The U.S government wasted 8 years in Iraq , when they should of been in Afganistan looking for Osama Bin Ladin.

-I completely agree that Americans have benefited greatly from the technological innovations of the 1990s and beyond. The internet, medical advancements, and the influx of new technological inventions designed to help us broaden out knowledge of otherwise unreachable topics are just three of the ways technology has improved our lives as Americans. Some may produce the counter argument that 'Technology is making jobs obsolete by programming them into robots.' This is true. However, when one considers the plethora of well-paying jobs being created by new technological advancements (ie.; computer technicians, remote control specialists, etc.), it can be said that this trade-off comes at an acceptable expense to the American people.
