What is the most important thing we have learned

What was the most important thing we have learned? I think the most important subject was Hitler and what he did to the Jews. Everyone should know what he did to these people and country's. I thought Shinler's List was a very good movie and it showed what the Germans did to the Jews people. Everyone should see that movie at least once in there life. Before I saw this video I did not think much of Hitlers torcher towards the Jews. Once I watched it I relised that he really did not like the Jews and wanted to run the world.

Watergate Break-in

The Watergate break in was in 1972. The Break in was at The Democratic National Committee. A lot of the people were from the plumbers unit. There original job was to plug leaks. The other people that were doing this was from the CIA. The day was June 17th 1974. There was a security guard named Frank Wills. Wills saw a piece of tape holding the door open. So he went up and removed it. He thought the cleaning crew put it there. But when he returned around 2 am there was another piece of tape. He was suspicious and he called the police. The police went in and got five guys. Bernard Barker, Virgilio Gonzalez, Eugenio Martinez , James W. McCord Jr. and Frank Sturgis. All these people got caught and did time in prison. The significance of the break in was to show people the dirty things going on in the white house. This led to a new era for our Country.
" The events of June 1972rekindled the mood of cynicism and distrust toward offcialdom that the Nixon Administration had inherited in 1969."

Which is better the 50's or the modern age

What decade would I like to live in more, the 50's or now? I will answer some questions about both of these decades. Who has the better music? In the 50's there was many good performers such as Elvis Presley and Ray Charles etc. These guys were good they had none of the technology as our performers today. So I think that there music was a little better than our music of today. There entertainment was nothing compared to our decade. But there entertainment was playing sports riding bikes and watching a small amount of tv. They had no game systems like Playstation or xbox. The kids probably would say they would like are decade more. But as a country I think that we would like it better in the 50's because there would be a lot less couch potatoes. How about the Crime rate? This graph shows you what the crime was in the fifties compared to now. You can see that the fifties had a lot less crime than what we had. How was the money? As you can see by this graph we earn a lot more money now than we did back then. I personally like there cars more. So which time would I live in? I would say the fifties.
