1970s

= = = = = Introduction to Decade: names Olivia, Grace, Lex and Rebecca = Introduction By: Grace Anzilotti ====In the 1970’s the United states was deeply involved in the Vietnam war. America was divided into two sections, war, and Anti-war. In 1973 the oil crisis was also taking place. Suspicion of terrorists was taking over the country. There were Bomb blasts, Hijackings, kidnappings, and assassinations. Scientists were trying to genetically engineering crops to help feed world's hungry population. They succeeded inventing the “Sunbean” this was a cross between a sunflower and a bean. Laser Eye surgery and Artificial Limbs were becoming popular. The first test tube baby was also born. The 1970’s was a time where many important inventions were created that help our life today. ====

Slogan By: Grace Anzilotti A popular slang word in the 1970’s was phony. This word was used to describe an overbearing “two faced” or deceitful person or thing. This word was also used as “phony baloney” this evolved into “Baloney”. This phrase was used to instantly call out a “phony” or fake. Dictionary.com defines Phony as not real or genuine; fake; counterfeit. If you call some one a “Phony” you are saying they are giving off a false idenity and hiding their true self to look cooler. Saying somethig is “phony Baloney” or just “Baloney” is saying that the thing or phrase is not true or “Rubbish”.

The Oil Crisis: There was a lot of inflation in the 1970’s. One cause of this was the rising oil prices. Gas shortages appeared all around the states limiting 10 gallons of gas per customer. Since oil is commonly used in gasoline, heating oil, electricity and other products the cost of these went up as well. This increased inflation even more in the United States and eventually had an effect on the world’s oil prices. The cause of the oil shortage was the ongoing wars between Israel, Egypt and Syria. The United States sent military supplies to help Israel war, some countries did not approve of this act and banned giving oil to the United States.
 * 2 Paragraphs - **

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Idi Amin: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Idi Amin was the Uganda ruler who was very cruel to his people. In 1972, he expelled all Indians who weren't Ugandan citizens. This was about 80,000 people that had to leave the country. He gave them 90 days to leave the country which is barley enough time to get everything settled in a new country. Many Indians owned farms and businesses, when they were forced to move, their businesses had to be relocated as well. Amin took the properties that were now unclaimed. One sources states, "Although Amin proclaimed that the “common man” was the beneficiary of this drastic act — which proved immensely popular in Uganda and most of Africa — it was actually the Ugandan army that emerged with the houses, cars, and businesses of the departing Asian minority". This means Amin told citizens that this would help them, but actually gave the unclaimed properties to Ugandan army soldiers.

He promised to work on behalf of Americans who opposed protests and supported his plan for ending the war. Nixon had a new plan for the government, he knew that his supporters disliked the government for putting higher taxes and interfering in the citizens lives. He proposed a plan called new federalism. what this did was limit the power of the federal government. Nixon's foreign policy. His foreign policy would be based on practical American interests, not moral or political ideas. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Watergate scandal- on June 17, 1972, five men were arrested while breaking into the democratic national committee's offices at the Watergate hotel in Washington D.C.

The foreign policy <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">has an essential role to play in the future structure of Asia. It is already growing due to the individual Asian nations. Nixon thinks that their potential influence on the future of the region exceeds the boundaries that which they can act individually. The United States joined with other nations in the Governmental Group for Indonesia to provide the resources necessary to complement their own efforts. We have also helped Indonesia with a modest military assistance program intended primarily to help meet its internal security needs. Indonesia has made a good use of the assistance that Nixon gave them. Its exports have increased, its foreign exchange holdings have gone up and their rice production has improved. Indonesia has cut inflation from 650 percent in 1966 to less than 9 percent in 1970.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">** Paragraph: **** 1) The supreme court in the 1970’s had many cases. One of them was Roe vs. Wade in 1973. Roe vs. Wade was a very controversial debate. It had to do with basic human rights, which in this case, was abortion. After the debate, the law was passed that abortion would be completely legal. A woman named Jane Roe, a pregnant, single mother who wanted to have an abortion, sued on behalf of all women who supported this decision and wanted to prevent the enforcement of abortion being illegal in Texas. Texas law made it a crime have abortion except when medically advised for the purpose of saving the life of the mother. Jane Roe claimed she could not find anywhere to have a legal abortion since her life was not in danger. Jane Roe sought a declaratory judgment that the laws were unconstitutional and did not allow women to practice their basic right to decide have a child or not. Roe v. Wade held that a mother may abort her pregnancy for any reason, up until the point at which it is viable. These rullings were so important it affected 46 states. This case was important because this debate is still going on today and it shows how controversial this case is. **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">** 2)Another important Supreme Court case was the Swaan vs. Charlotte Mecklenburg Board of Education in 1971 which made the United States supreme court decide whether the board of education should forcefully racially desegregate public schools. In the Charlotte Mecklenburg School system the court ruled out a desegregation plan. Since the law does not prevent the court system to use their power for equality, this was a completely legal adjustment to the school. The court created a system where all students would be on the same buses and all students would have equal opportunities regarding the school. The court also mandated that each school would have to be desegregated and there could be no “one-race” school. **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">** 3) Many events happened with the domestic policy in congress in the 1970’s. For example, here are only some main events that happened, Nixon changes the 26th amendment so the voting age is 18 instead of 21 in 1971 which made the younger population more incorporated in the voting system. In 1972 the Equal Rights Amendment was passed to outlaw discrimination based on gender which made women more equal to men. This amendment was written by Alice Paul, who was driven to create a world where women are equal to men. Soon, congress approved this amendment and all of the states agreed. This amendment created a law that women could not be turned down a job based on gender, the congress would have the power to enforce the law, and the amendment would take effect immediately.In 1975 the Education of Handicapped Children Act was passed and required public schools to give quality education to the disabled. This Act made it illegal to refuse to educate and discriminate against a handicapped child. In 1973 there was the War Powers Act which requires the president to get congressional approval before sending troops into war. Congress will only give permission when it is completely needed for troops to enter a war. It also gives congress the right to force the president to send back troops from war if necessary. All of these things shaped America to what it is now. These events changed the domestic policy and those laws passed then are still used today. **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">** 4) One other important piece of history in the 1970s is The Watergate scandal involving President Nixon in 1972. Watergate was one of the biggest Presidential scandals in history. What happened was President Nixon hired people to break into the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C, which was the same location as the Democratic Party National Headquarters. Nixon had hired the people to break in secretly and record their conversations and any conversation he had with anybody else. He tried to use these tapes to gain power. However the truth came out. Soon, the tapes and the plan were released to the public in 1973. Shortly after the release of the truth, Nixon was impeached. **

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">During the 1970’s women were starting to come out of their normal “roles” of a housewife. As feminism was rising and strikes were being held, this was a popular slogan telling women not to stick to their forced roles in the house and to keep striking for their rights. **
