The Road To Independence By Joe Hagmann Analysis
From the perspective of a parent, whose primary concern is the wellbeing of their child, some of the author's points seem valid. However, I find the
author, Joe Hagmann, has his tin foil hat on, and the thought that the entertainment industry is conducting an elaborate scheme to brainwash children, is
a tad further than ridiculous.
To eliminate independence from the equation doesn't seem like a sound idea in my opinion. Yes, for the most part parents are an excellent force of
guidance that can steer a child in the correct direction, but limited exposure to the media and the un–Godly world we live in won't be as useful when
they're old enough to leave the nest. I don't believe that a parent's word will be enough to prepare oneself for reality. For instance, you can describe to
someone how to make a movie with an infinite amount of detail, but it's trumped by the much simpler option of showing them a movie and learning by
example. Would a 9 year old, like Hagmann's be too young for complete autonomy and control in their life. Yes. I, however, believe that the road to
independence should be gradual, and that parents should have full authority, and then throw them into the deep end when they're still highly dependent
on them.
I view a bad TV show, like the one described by the author, as an excellent opportunity to draw a line in the sand between right and wrong. Besides,
plenty of TV shows exemplify good morals and virtues, and often when the characters make an horrendous

The Nature Of Technology In Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury
I rate Fahrenheit 451 a "one star", because I found the writer's style uninteresting. The author, Ray Bradbury, failed to pull me in, and the novel didn't
open my eyes to the viewpoints portrayed in the novel. Although Fahrenheit 451 carries themes of rebirth of society, government censorship, and the
nature of humanity, these themes were overwhelmed by one theme that bled into every action, dialogue piece, and narrative section: technology
corrupts. This theme could have made for a wonderful book, as there are intriguing and thoughtful pieces on the nature of technology, like the TV series
Black Mirror. Black Mirror offers both positives and negatives to each piece of technology it covers in each episode–– it poses questions like 'how ...

Knowing this, many of the characters make more sense: Mildred and her friends can't even comprehend the thought of reading, and every character
who does read has amazing wisdom, no matter their age. Which brings me to the second point of why I dislike the book: it preaches at every available
moment. Whether it's the teenage girl giving a monologue or the scared old man, all the characters sound the same when they're preaching Bradbury's
anti–technology agenda. Subsequently, they don't exist as round characters, they only exist to preach Bradbury's views, which ranges from the dislikes
of the arts or listening to radio through earbuds. He presumes that someone who watches TV or listens to radio cannot enjoy the world around them,
however, in my view, these medias have only broadened our view of the world. Many of us will not be able to go to Africa, but through TV
documentaries, we can. The jazz of New Orleans would be out of reach for most, were it not for radio and other electronic transmissions. Perhaps
Bradbury might have had a real fear of the changes a world view would initiate when the book was written, but now it carries the gravitas of someone
wearing a tin foil hat. I couldn't enjoy the book because I found the characters flat and uninteresting. Many of them have no character development––
except for Montag, but his development doesn't come from a great self

She was the childhood friend of Jack, Scout's uncle.
Miss audie talks to Scout about Boo Radley still being alive and it is her theory that Boo is the victim of a bad father (dead), a "foot–washing" Baptist
that thought most people will go to hell. Miss Maudie says that Boo was always proper and cordial as a child. And that the theories of him being crazy
as a child aren't true but he is probably crazy by now. Jem and Dill try to send a message inviting Boo to ice cream on his window but Atticus gets mad

Jem and dill don't listen to Atticus until the last day that Dill is there and decide to go into the house accompanied by Scout. Then, they see a shadow

The Film Analysis Of The Wizard Of Oz
The Wizard of Oz was first filmed in 1939 and has been revised several times to keep up with the time frame at present. It started out as a black and
white film and was originally produced by Metro–Goldwyn–Meyer. Judy Garland is playing the role of Dorothy Gale, who in this film is a restless
bored young girl that wants something other than the dreary life she lives in Kansas, (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2014, Ch. 4.3 para. 1,2) This film focuses
on the power of the imagination and gives a place for mental escape and relaxation. The power of the imagination is demonstrated throughout this entire
film. It begins with Dorothy ended up in a place called Munchinland that has little people, and is filled with colors and excitement, the opposite of
Kansas where everything is black and white. The most magical scene is the scene when Dorothy and her dog, The Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the
Scary Lion meets the Wizard. When they arrive to their destination an image of a man appears during a blazing fire and thick smoke, and he speaks
with authority and control. The fear in Dorothy and her friends is overwhelming to them, especially for the scary lion who faints before he can speak.
The cinematography technique is crystal clear in capturing the fear and confusion in the characters, as well as the audience. The special effect in editing
allowed the audience to see long views of the face in the fire and smoke and experience the fear along with Dorothy and her friends. The lighting was

Capitalism In America
Capitalism is essentially the economic system in which private owners are able to control industry, rather than the government. This system
fundamentally drives American society and what makes America particularly attractive to foreigners especially. In a capitalist society, class is not solely
based on birthright, but one has the ability to change his/her class based on income. Ideally, the more income a person has, the more freedom and power
this person is able to exercise. However, business moguls and government have been known to exploit this fundamental feature of market economy and
use it to their advantage by harboring money (power). But before I put on my tin foil hat and start spewing on about the government, allow me to ask
this question: "Where does this system come from?" I believe in order understand the oppressive issues of this system, it's crucial to understand the
conditions that formulated it. It's safe to say that American government is a descendent of English government. The colonies along the east coast of
North America were settled by mostly English settlers in the 17th and 18th centuries. As the English travelled across the Atlantic Ocean, they not only
extended the rule of the English monarchy but also transported their cultural heritage as well. Subsequently, the colonists revolted against English
monarch, King George III, during the American Revolutionary War in the late 18th century. Simply put, colonists felt devalued and exploited by the

American Presidency: the Utopia of Government? How about UNOPEia? The question sparks conspiracists to throw in their two cents right now, go
ahead, and argue with a sheet of paper. Unless you're one to never leave your house and wear hats made out of tin foil, you know that as a Democracy,
we elect our own leaders. Now me? I'm here to highlight with a large red sharpie the worst of what three past leaders in particular have done, first with
FDR, then JFK and lastly Nixon. While a president could get many things done in their time in office, as previously stated, this paper is focusing on the
skeletons of each of the three carefully selected men of office. Roosevelt was criticized for his economic policies, especially the shift in tone from
individualism to collectivism with the dramatic expansion of the welfare state and regulation of the economy. Criticized by right–wing conservatives
and libertarians for his extensive economic interventionism, these critics often accuse his policies of prolonging what they believe would otherwise
have been a much shorter recession. Their argument is that government planning of the economy was both unnecessary and counterproductive, and that
laissez–faire policies would have ended the suffering much sooner. A 2004 econometric study by Harold L. Cole and Lee E. Ohanian concluded that the
"New Deal labor and industrial policies did not lift the economy out of the Depression as President Roosevelt and his economic planners had hoped,"

As for my thoughts on the article it was a rather interesting concept in regards to the general functionality of the mind that in most cases people are
more or less unaware of the subtle changes. Further solidifying the simple fact that one's memory of past events are simply unreliable. Basically due to
the fact that as time pases a large section of details related to that memory become forgotten ultimately resulting in the brain creating a replacement
memory in many cases changing slightly after every attempt to recall that select memory. Although at the same time i understand that the alien
abduction had only been a concept to test it was rather distracting as something that seemed so outlandish it painted a picture of a 'garden variety'

What Does Shukhov Mean To Me
I just spent twenty minutes trying to decide what I want for breakfast by reading over a 30–page nutrition guide. Then I cracked open my book and
read, "Apart from sleep, the only time a prisoner lives for himself is ten minutes in the morning at breakfast, five minutes over dinner, and five at
supper" (Solzhenitsyn 16). I spend a lot of time thinking about food, but I only take minutes to devour it. If it were up to me I could eat a half gallon of
my favorite ice cream in one sitting. Shukhov, like many others today, could only dream about eating as much as his heart desired. No matter what or
how much food he had, he always saved part of it. He was not just saving food, he was saving strength to both physically and mentally, get through the
day. Shukhov's spoon was his most prized possession. That spoon was precious for a few reasons. It was with Shukhov during all of his trials and

The harder he worked and the more favors he did for his fellow prisoners, the more food he got. An extra serving here and there can make the

nature. He worried about anything he could make use of, about every scrap of work he could do– nothing must be wasted without good reason"
(Solzhenitsyn 105). I think Shukhov kept himself occupied by doing all of those odd jobs. He viewed repairing shoes, tailoring, and saving a spot in
line as an opportunity to earn food, not as a job. He enjoyed working with his hands he was good at it and it gave him a sense of accomplishment, but

C. Wright Mills was a very bright American sociologist, he is best known for introducing us to many controversial theories. In his book "The Power

only a certain amount of people who hold all the power in their hands, and these same people will move from one seat of institutional power to another,
in a revolving door matter. In today's society, I think that this behavior is a lot more common and obvious. We often see this happen with CEO's moving

This article is about the use of the term New World Order in conspiracy theory. For other uses, see New World Order (disambiguation).
The reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States (1776). The Latin phrase "novus ordo seclorum", appearing on the reverse side of the Great Seal
since 1782 and on the back of the U.S one–dollar bill since 1935, means "New Order of the Ages" and only alludes to the beginning of an era where the
United States of America is an independent nation–state, but is often improperly translated by conspiracy theorists as "New World Order".[1]
In conspiracy theory, the term New World Order or NWO refers to the emergence of a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Thus, activists around the globe formed a world federalist movement bent on creating a "real" new world order.[11] In the 1940s, British writer and
futurist H. G. Wells would go further by appropriating and redefining the term "new world order" as a synonym for the establishment of a
scientifically–managed world state and socialist economy.[12]
During the Red Scare of 1947–1957, conspiracy theorists of the American secular and Christian right increasingly embraced and mongered unfounded
fears of Freemasons, Illuminati, and Jews being the driving force behind an "international communist conspiracy". The threat ofworld communism in
the form of a state atheistic and bureaucratic collectivist world government, demonized as a "Red Menace", therefore became the main focus of
apocalyptic millenarian conspiracism.[13]
In the 1960s, right–wing populist individuals and groups with a producerist worldview, such as members of the John Birch Society, disseminated a great
deal of conspiracy theories claiming that the governments of both the United States and the Soviet

Andy Warhol Essay
Andy Warhol
Works Cited Missing
"I just paint things I always thought were beautiful, things you use every day and never think about... I just do it because I like it. (Beckris 110) I just do
it because I like it is Andy's philosophy on life. Andy might just be the most interesting and at the same time the most confusing individual you will
ever read about. Andy's work is like none others. His art brought common day people together and showed the impact of contemporary society and the
idea of mass media on values. Andy's father Ondrej Wharhola is best described as a bald, burly man with a bulging belly and massive upper arms,
pudgy nose and bristling sideburns. Ondrej was born in 1889 in Minkova. (Bekris, 6) He was married and living ... Show more content on

This might explain Andy's later fascination with death related topics. In 1930 Andy's father got a steady job laying roads and moving houses. This was a
high paying job at the time because of the mass rate of growth in the cities. Ondrej saved his money and one–year later moved his family into a larger
house on Beelan Street. Shortly after moving into the house Ondrej lost his job and was forced to move into a two–bedroom apartment. The rent was
six dollars a week and Andy's father had to work odd jobs to just barley pay the rent. It was not just Andy and his parents. Andy had two other brothers,
one older and one younger. All three of the children were said to be afraid of their father. "Dad didn't like us to start commotion because he was so
exhausted and he would get emotionally upset. Usually all he had to do was look at you." (Beckris 12) Andy always had a problem with grammar
school. He was not a social child and preferred to keep to himself.
As most children do, they saw this in Andy and picked on him frequently. (Bekris, 18) Andy's brother Paul stated, "At age four Andy cried a lot at
school and one day a little black girl slapped him" (Beckris 15) He was very traumatized by this incident and asked his mother if she could keep him
home from school. As the loving mother she was, she took Andy out of school and kept him home for two years. Over this time he became very close to
his mother. When it was time

Remember The Perpetrator Essay
Remember, the perpetrator can create multiple diseases simultaneously to make the victim restless, angry, and loose cool. But I suffered through all
these calmly; I know this is the only way to win. Winning is important because I take this as a game, and If I fail, then disappointed and angry. I am not
expecting to win all the time, I am aware. Finally, I have to surrender. Now I am on the verge of defeat.
The perpetrators put me to sleep for a few hours several times in a day when I was sitting on my sofa, defenseless, unable to keep awake, and then they
stream pulses to my ears. When I woke up, I felt severe burning sensation in both ears as if someone has inserted a screwdriver and mildly twisted.

I wore a diaper when I went on long trips and traveled by taxi. Now I have the pass to ride access bus–a bus service for disabled people––, so I can
reach the destination faster than the regular bus.
Other diseases the perpetrators can create: change the skin color, coughing, sneezing, cold, etc. The intensity and frequency of the diseases depend on
how badly the perpetrator wants to torture the victim. Here only mentioned a few samples of diseases, but a multitude of diseases can be created
simultaneously and make the victims' life miserable.
The Perpetrators can control the muscles of a victim through the nervous system, so they could make the victim to move the limbs to touch another
person.
If the same symptoms always occur, then it could be due to microwave weapon attack, for example, feeling to itch at the tip of the nose when both
hands are busy while washing the dishes. Many more cases such as: coughing while handling food, or on a telephone, runny nose or sneezing while
having a meal or with people around, often feel tired, difficult to walk, joint pain, and frequent cold for a short duration,

The Road To Independence By Joe Hagmann Analysis

  • 1. The Road To Independence By Joe Hagmann Analysis From the perspective of a parent, whose primary concern is the wellbeing of their child, some of the author's points seem valid. However, I find the author, Joe Hagmann, has his tin foil hat on, and the thought that the entertainment industry is conducting an elaborate scheme to brainwash children, is a tad further than ridiculous. To eliminate independence from the equation doesn't seem like a sound idea in my opinion. Yes, for the most part parents are an excellent force of guidance that can steer a child in the correct direction, but limited exposure to the media and the un–Godly world we live in won't be as useful when they're old enough to leave the nest. I don't believe that a parent's word will be enough to prepare oneself for reality. For instance, you can describe to someone how to make a movie with an infinite amount of detail, but it's trumped by the much simpler option of showing them a movie and learning by example. Would a 9 year old, like Hagmann's be too young for complete autonomy and control in their life. Yes. I, however, believe that the road to independence should be gradual, and that parents should have full authority, and then throw them into the deep end when they're still highly dependent on them. I view a bad TV show, like the one described by the author, as an excellent opportunity to draw a line in the sand between right and wrong. Besides, plenty of TV shows exemplify good morals and virtues, and often when the characters make an horrendous ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 3. The Nature Of Technology In Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury I rate Fahrenheit 451 a "one star", because I found the writer's style uninteresting. The author, Ray Bradbury, failed to pull me in, and the novel didn't open my eyes to the viewpoints portrayed in the novel. Although Fahrenheit 451 carries themes of rebirth of society, government censorship, and the nature of humanity, these themes were overwhelmed by one theme that bled into every action, dialogue piece, and narrative section: technology corrupts. This theme could have made for a wonderful book, as there are intriguing and thoughtful pieces on the nature of technology, like the TV series Black Mirror. Black Mirror offers both positives and negatives to each piece of technology it covers in each episode–– it poses questions like 'how ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Knowing this, many of the characters make more sense: Mildred and her friends can't even comprehend the thought of reading, and every character who does read has amazing wisdom, no matter their age. Which brings me to the second point of why I dislike the book: it preaches at every available moment. Whether it's the teenage girl giving a monologue or the scared old man, all the characters sound the same when they're preaching Bradbury's anti–technology agenda. Subsequently, they don't exist as round characters, they only exist to preach Bradbury's views, which ranges from the dislikes of the arts or listening to radio through earbuds. He presumes that someone who watches TV or listens to radio cannot enjoy the world around them, however, in my view, these medias have only broadened our view of the world. Many of us will not be able to go to Africa, but through TV documentaries, we can. The jazz of New Orleans would be out of reach for most, were it not for radio and other electronic transmissions. Perhaps Bradbury might have had a real fear of the changes a world view would initiate when the book was written, but now it carries the gravitas of someone wearing a tin foil hat. I couldn't enjoy the book because I found the characters flat and uninteresting. Many of them have no character development–– except for Montag, but his development doesn't come from a great self ...

  • 6. The Film Analysis Of The Wizard Of Oz The Wizard of Oz was first filmed in 1939 and has been revised several times to keep up with the time frame at present. It started out as a black and white film and was originally produced by Metro–Goldwyn–Meyer. Judy Garland is playing the role of Dorothy Gale, who in this film is a restless bored young girl that wants something other than the dreary life she lives in Kansas, (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2014, Ch. 4.3 para. 1,2) This film focuses on the power of the imagination and gives a place for mental escape and relaxation. The power of the imagination is demonstrated throughout this entire film. It begins with Dorothy ended up in a place called Munchinland that has little people, and is filled with colors and excitement, the opposite of Kansas where everything is black and white. The most magical scene is the scene when Dorothy and her dog, The Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Scary Lion meets the Wizard. When they arrive to their destination an image of a man appears during a blazing fire and thick smoke, and he speaks with authority and control. The fear in Dorothy and her friends is overwhelming to them, especially for the scary lion who faints before he can speak. The cinematography technique is crystal clear in capturing the fear and confusion in the characters, as well as the audience. The special effect in editing allowed the audience to see long views of the face in the fire and smoke and experience the fear along with Dorothy and her friends. The lighting was ...

  • 7. Capitalism In America Capitalism is essentially the economic system in which private owners are able to control industry, rather than the government. This system fundamentally drives American society and what makes America particularly attractive to foreigners especially. In a capitalist society, class is not solely based on birthright, but one has the ability to change his/her class based on income. Ideally, the more income a person has, the more freedom and power this person is able to exercise. However, business moguls and government have been known to exploit this fundamental feature of market economy and use it to their advantage by harboring money (power). But before I put on my tin foil hat and start spewing on about the government, allow me to ask this question: "Where does this system come from?" I believe in order understand the oppressive issues of this system, it's crucial to understand the conditions that formulated it. It's safe to say that American government is a descendent of English government. The colonies along the east coast of North America were settled by mostly English settlers in the 17th and 18th centuries. As the English travelled across the Atlantic Ocean, they not only extended the rule of the English monarchy but also transported their cultural heritage as well. Subsequently, the colonists revolted against English monarch, King George III, during the American Revolutionary War in the late 18th century. Simply put, colonists felt devalued and exploited by the English ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. American Presidency : The Utopia Of Government? How About... American Presidency: the Utopia of Government? How about UNOPEia? The question sparks conspiracists to throw in their two cents right now, go ahead, and argue with a sheet of paper. Unless you're one to never leave your house and wear hats made out of tin foil, you know that as a Democracy, we elect our own leaders. Now me? I'm here to highlight with a large red sharpie the worst of what three past leaders in particular have done, first with FDR, then JFK and lastly Nixon. While a president could get many things done in their time in office, as previously stated, this paper is focusing on the skeletons of each of the three carefully selected men of office. Roosevelt was criticized for his economic policies, especially the shift in tone from individualism to collectivism with the dramatic expansion of the welfare state and regulation of the economy. Criticized by right–wing conservatives and libertarians for his extensive economic interventionism, these critics often accuse his policies of prolonging what they believe would otherwise have been a much shorter recession. Their argument is that government planning of the economy was both unnecessary and counterproductive, and that laissez–faire policies would have ended the suffering much sooner. A 2004 econometric study by Harold L. Cole and Lee E. Ohanian concluded that the "New Deal labor and industrial policies did not lift the economy out of the Depression as President Roosevelt and his economic planners had hoped," but ...

As for the main argument of the article simply put the author(s) are attempting to find an explanation of the reasons of alien abductions as a way to find the reasons as to why some people report various accounts of alien abduction with no actual concept or explanation to support the validity of the claim outside of simple knowing they were abducted on the basis that they just know. As for the results of their study the researchers found that in many cases false ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As for my thoughts on the article it was a rather interesting concept in regards to the general functionality of the mind that in most cases people are more or less unaware of the subtle changes. Further solidifying the simple fact that one's memory of past events are simply unreliable. Basically due to the fact that as time pases a large section of details related to that memory become forgotten ultimately resulting in the brain creating a replacement memory in many cases changing slightly after every attempt to recall that select memory. Although at the same time i understand that the alien abduction had only been a concept to test it was rather distracting as something that seemed so outlandish it painted a picture of a 'garden variety' conspiracy theorist sitting in the office of the researches rambling on about how they simply know they had been abducted and that's why they can never take off their tin foil hats. Granted that is not to say that there is no possible chance that there are other life forms on different planets (particularly in a statistical perspective) however, for a article that had an important and serious study results the general concept of a ...

  • 13. What Does Shukhov Mean To Me I just spent twenty minutes trying to decide what I want for breakfast by reading over a 30–page nutrition guide. Then I cracked open my book and read, "Apart from sleep, the only time a prisoner lives for himself is ten minutes in the morning at breakfast, five minutes over dinner, and five at supper" (Solzhenitsyn 16). I spend a lot of time thinking about food, but I only take minutes to devour it. If it were up to me I could eat a half gallon of my favorite ice cream in one sitting. Shukhov, like many others today, could only dream about eating as much as his heart desired. No matter what or how much food he had, he always saved part of it. He was not just saving food, he was saving strength to both physically and mentally, get through the day. Shukhov's spoon was his most prized possession. That spoon was precious for a few reasons. It was with Shukhov during all of his trials and tribulations while in the gulag system. It represents his past experiences and dictates his future. It is symbolic of his identity and his history.

An extra serving here and there can make the difference between life and death. Shukhov took advantage of that. "But Shukhov wasn't made that way– eight years in a camp couldn't change his nature. He worried about anything he could make use of, about every scrap of work he could do– nothing must be wasted without good reason" (Solzhenitsyn 105). I think Shukhov kept himself occupied by doing all of those odd jobs. He viewed repairing shoes, tailoring, and saving a spot in line as an opportunity to earn food, not as a job. He enjoyed working with his hands he was good at it and it gave him a sense of accomplishment, but what kept him going was the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 14. Big Brother Research Paper Natalie I really like how you approached this subject. Showing how the media and some groups misinterpret government actions can be very eye opening to many people. I have family member, and work with people that are so set in this thinking that "Big Brother" is always looking over their shoulder, and collecting all kinds of information about them. I have tried to tell them that the government has way bigger issues to worry about than trying to learn about some middle class person living in the middle of Missouri. I think one of the biggest reasons so many people think that the government is always looking in their windows is the simple fact that many people outside the intelligence world have no idea what actually goes on, and how hard it can be to gather information. Do you think if the American public was more educated on what goes on within the intelligence agencies that they would lower their fear of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The first issue is that the everyday American would have a little more faith in the government. This group of people I believe is the majority of the American public, which some would call the educated voter. The second outcome of the government educating the American public, involves the group of people that believes that government is out to get them, these are the people that wear tin foil hats to protect themselves from the aliens. These people would take this new education and start spreading the rumors that the government did this just to distract the American public to actually what was going on. The third outcome involves the intelligence agencies and their ability to work in the shadows. If the American public is over educated on what goes on when collecting intelligence then so dose our enemies. Keeping the ability to allow these agencies to work in the dark is key.

The Latin phrase "novus ordo seclorum", appearing on the reverse side of the Great Seal since 1782 and on the back of the U.S one–dollar bill since 1935, means "New Order of the Ages" and only alludes to the beginning of an era where the United States of America is an independent nation–state, but is often improperly translated by conspiracy theorists as "New World Order".[1] In conspiracy theory, the term New World Order or NWO refers to the emergence of a ...

Thus, activists around the globe formed a world federalist movement bent on creating a "real" new world order.[11] In the 1940s, British writer and futurist H. G. Wells would go further by appropriating and redefining the term "new world order" as a synonym for the establishment of a scientifically–managed world state and socialist economy.[12] During the Red Scare of 1947–1957, conspiracy theorists of the American secular and Christian right increasingly embraced and mongered unfounded fears of Freemasons, Illuminati, and Jews being the driving force behind an "international communist conspiracy". The threat ofworld communism in the form of a state atheistic and bureaucratic collectivist world government, demonized as a "Red Menace", therefore became the main focus of apocalyptic millenarian conspiracism.[13] In the 1960s, right–wing populist individuals and groups with a producerist worldview, such as members of the John Birch Society, disseminated a great deal of conspiracy theories claiming that the governments of both the United States and the Soviet ...

Andy's father Ondrej Wharhola is best described as a bald, burly man with a bulging belly and massive upper arms, pudgy nose and bristling sideburns. Ondrej was born in 1889 in Minkova.

In 1930 Andy's father got a steady job laying roads and moving houses. This was a high paying job at the time because of the mass rate of growth in the cities. Ondrej saved his money and one–year later moved his family into a larger house on Beelan Street. Shortly after moving into the house Ondrej lost his job and was forced to move into a two–bedroom apartment. The rent was six dollars a week and Andy's father had to work odd jobs to just barley pay the rent. It was not just Andy and his parents. Andy had two other brothers, one older and one younger. All three of the children were said to be afraid of their father. "Dad didn't like us to start commotion because he was so exhausted and he would get emotionally upset. Usually all he had to do was look at you." (Beckris 12) Andy always had a problem with grammar school. He was not a social child and preferred to keep to himself. As most children do, they saw this in Andy and picked on him frequently.
