There were a variety of ideas proposed by the interviewees. The military draft was a point of tension and unrest in the United States during the 1960’s mostly because men were being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War which especially by the late 1960’s was unpopular among the American people. The United States drafted military age men between 1964 and 1973. The draft itself contributed to the unpopularity of the war.

This political cartoon focuses on some of the significant issues going on during 1971 such as debates on pollution and overpopulation among the U.S. People believed that foreign immigration to the U.S. and the amount of reproduction was causing overpopulation and was viewed as polluting America. Protesters were in an attempt to put a halt on immigration and slow down the amount of reproduction by the use of condoms and birth control. This article sheds light on how overpopulation was viewed as pollution to the U.S. At the time period, people believed that this would result in less food, more homes to create, and overall non beneficial for the United States.

The club gathered to keep veterans informed about developments in the educational-aid benefits being awarded by the government. The club also served as a way for veterans to have their voice to be heard about payments delays from the Veterans Administration. The article is historically significant because it shows how the Vietnam War directly affected people returning from war in our area. It also shows how veterans gathered to voice their concerns about the educational aid being provided by the government and how they became invested in their student government. Summary and historical context created by Justin Marcaida as part of Dr. Michelle Carriagn's Fall 2018 AMH2020.

Show moreThis issue of the Pioneer Press includes the article "The Teetotoalling Days are Over". This article manly focuses the viewpoint of the draw backs of drinking whether or not the user is underage. The Author also stresses the fact that there is a need to raise the drinking age across the whole country in order to try and prevent under age citizens from drive from one state to another one whose legal drinking age is lower. This was all in the attempt to decrease the number of fatal car crashes across and within state boundaries. This is historically significant due to the fact that thought the early 70s and all the way till the late 90s there was a big push to raise the drinking age in all states across the country. This was due to the fact that the number of fatal car accidents were at an all time high. This movement to try to reduce the number of fatal crashes became a issue on the national stage in the early 1980. Mothers against Drunk Driving, which was created on September 5, 1980 in California, sought to spread awareness across both the United States and Canada of the dangers of drunk driving as well as driving under the influence of other drugs. Summary and historical context written by Christopher Santiago Jr. as part of Dr. Michelle Carriagan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.
