The Civil Rights Efforts of John F. Kennedy
Kevin J. Doherty 4013232
HIST102 – American History since 1877
Professor Carl Bradshaw
January 4, 2011
President John F. Kennedy is mostly remembered because of his assassination. However, events that occurred during his time in office were quite important to the history of the United States. Although it may not have been viewed as such at the time, the civil rights movement was possibly the most important issue and the president’s efforts toward solving the matter may have been his greatest accomplishments. President Kennedy was juggling, as most presidents do, quite a few pressing issues at the same time. The civil rights movement was not his priority, but it played an important role in the way he ran the country. The president made some very impressive headway in the fight for true equality in the United States and abroad.
Civil rights never seemed to be at the top of President Kennedy’s priority list, but there is no doubt that he was more sympathetic to the issue and movement than previous presidents. In fact, Steven Lawson quotes Dr. Martin Luther King as saying that Kennedy had “schizophrenic tendencies” when dealing with the civil rights movement. He continues to explain that the president came from an upper class background in Boston and he had no personal understanding of the inequality that African-Americans dealt with in the south.
However, theology expert Mark Massa points out that he was the first Catholic to be elected president and, because he was Catholic, he had to deal with a lot of discrimination during his campaign.
While he never dealt with anything like African-Americans in the Jim Crow south, this may have given him some personal insight and reason to sympathize.
Although President Kennedy may have been sympathetic toward the civil rights activists, he always seemed to be reactionary in nature as opposed to proactive. Thomas Borstelmann, expert in modern history, explains that the racial struggle, at the time, was mostly fought between Democrats. The president “felt he had to work both sides of the street”.
Angering the southern Democrats could bring repercussions concerning other legislation that Kennedy wanted to pass. Maybe this could explain the “schizophrenia” Dr. King noticed.
Foreign policy (mostly concerning the Cold War) was always the President’s top priority. He was working toward bettering the civil liberties of oppressed people in Africa at the time and trying to win them over to democracy in a sort of turf war with the Soviet Union. However, any instances of unrest surrounding civil rights in the United States the president considered to be embarrassing on the international front. Borstelmann explains that Kennedy worked with civil rights activist groups such as the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) to try and keep demonstrations peaceful.

Today we will also reflect on the final Civil Rights struggles and causes championed by Martin Luther King before his untimely assassination in Memphis.
We wonder:
How did John F Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson differ in their support for civil rights for blacks?
Why were the Civil Rights struggles in New York City and Chicago more problematic than those in Birmingham, Selma, and the Deep South?
Did Martin Luther King’s opposition to the War in Vietnam detract from his struggles and protests furthering civil rights?

The Vietnam War deeply divided American society. As the war dragged on with no clear victory, opposition to the war grew on college campuses and beyond. The Tet Offensive of 1968 shocked many Americans and increased doubts about the war. In the 1968 presidential election, anti-war Democrats Eugene McCarthy and Robert Kennedy challenged Lyndon Johnson, who chose not to run for re-election. Ultimately, Republican Richard Nixon was elected by appealing to those not protesting the war.

The year 1968 was perhaps one of the most turbulent years in America.docx
The year 1968 was perhaps one of the most turbulent years in American history. A Civil Rights movement was getting into full swing, Vietnam was tearing America apart, students were protesting and America seemed to be going in a new "un-charted direction." Vietcong forces were stepping up their efforts in the TET offensive, presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy was shot, Martin Luther King was shot, and the Democratic National Convention came into disarray by an angry group of students in Chicago. Your task for this assignment is to analyze why 1968 was such as turbulent year. In your opinion, which event was the most significant in leading to the turmoil that was 1968? After choosing which event you felt was most significant, discuss how this event helped to shape/define the decade of the 1960s.
This assignment should be no longer than two pages and should focus on ONE of the topics below. Do not simply repeat or re-tell the event, nor should you repeat / summarize wiki for that matter. Instead, analyze the event in the greater context of the 1960s. How does this one event culminate a decade of turbulence?
- Robert F. Kennedy shot as Democratic Party hopeful
- Martin Luther King shot by James Earl Ray
- TET offensive explodes in Vietnam
- Election of 1968 & Democratic National Convention in Chicago
- Students protest against Dow Chemical Recruiters
- Columbia University shut down by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)
- Hippie / Counterculture movements which happened in 1968

Report Overview
In this assignment, you will
Document and reflect on your university education and on learning experiences outside of the university;
Articulate how your upper-level coursework is an integrated and individualized curriculum built around your interests; and
Highlight the experiences, skills, and projects that show what you can do.
A successful report submission will be the product of many hours of work over several weeks.
A report earning maximum available points will be a carefully curated and edited explanation of your work that provides tangible evidence of—and insights into—your competencies and capabilities over time. In each section of this report, you are (1) telling a story about your own abilities, and (2) providing specific examples and evidence that illustrate and support your claims.
✍
Required Report Sections
Here the sections are listed as they must appear in your final graded submission. You’ll arrange the sections in this order when
submitting
the final report BUT you won’t follow this order when
writing
drafts of each section.
Note that each section description contains a Pro Tip that tells you how to proceed with the work – what to attempt first, second, and third, etc.
❖ I. Statement of Purpose ❖
Step 1.
Read these four very different
examples of successful Statement of Purpose sections
.
Step 2.
Consider the differences in tone, style, level of detail etc. Your own statement of purpose may resemble one of these. Indeed, writing a first draft based on an example or combination of examples is a good idea. BUT don’t let these examples limit your thinking or personal expression. You may want to begin with a quote from a famous person, use a quote from your mom, or skip the quote. You may want to discuss your personal motivations or get right down to the facts. You may want to list your classes or discuss how your work-life led you to this path.
Step 3.
Write a rough draft – let’s call that Statement of Purpose 1.0. Write Statement of Purpose 1.0 as quickly as you can and then put it away until after you have completed most of the report. Forget about Statement of Purpose 1.0 until most of your report is at least in draft form.
Step 4.
Once you have a draft of all sections of your report, you are in a good position to revise Statement of Purpose 1. You are ready for Step 4. Take Statement of Purpose 1.0 out its dusty vault and hold it up to the sun. Ah. Now read your report draft and compare it to the claims you made in Statement of Purpose 1.0. Ask yourself these questions:
Does Statement of Purpose 1.0. accurately introduce my report?
Are there important ideas or representative experiences in the report that should be highlighted in the Statement of Purpose but aren’t? Remember this isn’t a treasure hunt where its your reader’s job to figure out what matters. It’s your job to show the reader what matters.

United States History Ch. 20 Section 3 Notes
The Vietnam War deeply divided American society. As the war dragged on with no clear victory, opposition to the war grew on college campuses and beyond. The Tet Offensive of 1968 shocked many Americans and increased doubts about the war. In the 1968 presidential election, anti-war Democrats Eugene McCarthy and Robert Kennedy challenged Lyndon Johnson, who chose not to run for re-election. Ultimately, Republican Richard Nixon was elected by appealing to those not protesting the war.

The year 1968 was perhaps one of the most turbulent years in America.docx
The year 1968 was perhaps one of the most turbulent years in American history. A Civil Rights movement was getting into full swing, Vietnam was tearing America apart, students were protesting and America seemed to be going in a new "un-charted direction." Vietcong forces were stepping up their efforts in the TET offensive, presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy was shot, Martin Luther King was shot, and the Democratic National Convention came into disarray by an angry group of students in Chicago. Your task for this assignment is to analyze why 1968 was such as turbulent year. In your opinion, which event was the most significant in leading to the turmoil that was 1968? After choosing which event you felt was most significant, discuss how this event helped to shape/define the decade of the 1960s.
This assignment should be no longer than two pages and should focus on ONE of the topics below. Do not simply repeat or re-tell the event, nor should you repeat / summarize wiki for that matter. Instead, analyze the event in the greater context of the 1960s. How does this one event culminate a decade of turbulence?
- Robert F. Kennedy shot as Democratic Party hopeful
- Martin Luther King shot by James Earl Ray
- TET offensive explodes in Vietnam
- Election of 1968 & Democratic National Convention in Chicago
- Students protest against Dow Chemical Recruiters
- Columbia University shut down by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)

Report Overview
In this assignment, you will
Document and reflect on your university education and on learning experiences outside of the university;
Articulate how your upper-level coursework is an integrated and individualized curriculum built around your interests; and
Highlight the experiences, skills, and projects that show what you can do.
A successful report submission will be the product of many hours of work over several weeks.
A report earning maximum available points will be a carefully curated and edited explanation of your work that provides tangible evidence of—and insights into—your competencies and capabilities over time. In each section of this report, you are (1) telling a story about your own abilities, and (2) providing specific examples and evidence that illustrate and support your claims.
✍
Required Report Sections
Here the sections are listed as they must appear in your final graded submission. You’ll arrange the sections in this order when
submitting
the final report BUT you won’t follow this order when
writing
drafts of each section.
Note that each section description contains a Pro Tip that tells you how to proceed with the work – what to attempt first, second, and third, etc.
❖ I. Statement of Purpose ❖
Step 1.
Read these four very different
examples of successful Statement of Purpose sections
.
Step 2.
Consider the differences in tone, style, level of detail etc. Your own statement of purpose may resemble one of these. Indeed, writing a first draft based on an example or combination of examples is a good idea. BUT don’t let these examples limit your thinking or personal expression. You may want to begin with a quote from a famous person, use a quote from your mom, or skip the quote. You may want to discuss your personal motivations or get right down to the facts. You may want to list your classes or discuss how your work-life led you to this path.
Step 3.
Write a rough draft – let’s call that Statement of Purpose 1.0. Write Statement of Purpose 1.0 as quickly as you can and then put it away until after you have completed most of the report. Forget about Statement of Purpose 1.0 until most of your report is at least in draft form.
Step 4.
Once you have a draft of all sections of your report, you are in a good position to revise Statement of Purpose 1. You are ready for Step 4. Take Statement of Purpose 1.0 out its dusty vault and hold it up to the sun. Ah. Now read your report draft and compare it to the claims you made in Statement of Purpose 1.0. Ask yourself these questions:
Does Statement of Purpose 1.0. accurately introduce my report?
Are there important ideas or representative experiences in the report that should be highlighted in the Statement of Purpose but aren’t? Remember this isn’t a treasure hunt where its your reader’s job to figure out what matters. It’s your job to show the reader what matters.
If Statement of Purpose 1.0. isn’t the best map it can be for th.

■ Research Paper
General Systems Theory: Its Past and
Potential†
Peter Caws1,2*
1Department of Philosophy, The George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA
2American Association for the Advancement of Science, Washington, DC, USA
This paper has three parts. First, I discuss what I take as the original stimulus and the pur-
pose of general systems theory (GST) to be, why I think it is important, and how I came to
be involved in it. I reflect on von Bertalanffy’s general system (sic) theory and the early
debates on the topic, stressing the essential concept of isomorphism, with its rewards in
following up parallel developments in different domains, and its risks and temptations
in the projection of grand and all-inclusive systems. Second, I discuss the direction my
own work took after my term as President of the Society for General Systems Research
(1966–1967), and how it diverged from the early program, in particular in its emphasis
on the difference between system and structure and on the essential role of individual
subjectivity in the latter. I stress the importance of the concept of ‘relation’ as underlying
that of ‘system’, and in particular the difference between relations as embodied in physical
systems and relations as components of intentional structures that may or may not corre-
spond to physical systems. In the third and final part, I discuss the place of GST in the
philosophy of science, especially in connection with the unity of science movement, and
its potential for the organization of this domain. I ask what light the concept of system
can throw on our knowledge of the universe and its worlds (a distinction explained in
the paper), and what the risks are of assuming tight isomorphisms between mathematical
structures and physical systems, for example, in cosmology and quantum mechanics.

Your paraphrase can be as long as the excerpt you have chosen, but should not duplicate any phrasing from the excerpt. If you must, you can quote up to three words in a phrase.
Choose to paraphrase ONE of the excerpts below:
Option 1
Morrison began writing Sula in 1969, a time of great activism among African Americans and others who were working toward equal civil rights and opportunities. The book addresses issues of racism, bigotry, and suppression of African Americans; it depicts the despair people feel when they can't get decent jobs, and the determination of some to survive. Eva, for example, cuts off her leg in order to get money to raise her family. Morrison shows how, faced with racist situations, some people had to grovel to whites simply to get by, as Helene does on a train heading through the South. Others, however, fought back, as Sula does when she threatens some white boys who are harassing her and Nel.
or
Option 2
In 1993, Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, and thus became the first African American and only the eighth woman ever to win the award. According to Maureen O'Brien in Publishers Weekly, Morrison said, "What is most wonderful for me personally is to know that the Prize has at last been awarded to an African American. I thank God that my mother is alive to see this day." In 1996, she received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

- Jonathan Lethem is known for publishing many novels, stories, essays and other works across different genres. He is described as a "protean" or shape-shifting writer.
- Lethem believes creativity comes from influence and interaction with other works, not isolated originality. He celebrates the "ecstasy of influence" where culture is built upon what came before through borrowing and remixing.
- Many artists, including musicians, visual artists and writers, engage in practices that borrow and reuse elements from other works but these practices are seen as essential to creativity rather than plagiarism. Appropriation and remixing are at the core of cultural production.

A National Profile of
the Real Estate Industry and
the Appraisal Profession
by J. Reid Cummings and Donald R. Epley, PhD, MAI, SRA
FEATURES
T
J- he
he real estate industry has been devastated on many fronts' in the years
following the Great Recession, whieh began in 2007^ due to the bursting of the
housing bubble and the subsequent finaneial crisis relating to the mortgage
market meltdown.' The implosion of the mortgage markets initially began when
two Bear Stearns mortgage-backed securities hedge funds, holding nearly $10
billion in assets, disintegrated into nothing.* Panie quickly spread to financial
institutions that could not hide the extent of their toxic, subprime exposures, and
a massive, worldwide credit squeeze ensued; outright fear soon replaced panic.
Subsequent eredit tightening and substantial illiquidity in the financial markets
rapidly and severely affected the housing and construction markets.' Throughout
the United States, properties of all kinds saw dramatic value declines.
In thousands of cases, real estate foreclosures disrupted people's lives,
forced businesses to close, eaused financial institutions to falter, capsized wbole
market segments, devastated entire industries, and squeezed municipal and state
government budgets dependent upon use and property tax revenues.* While the
effeets of property value declines and the waves of foreclosures in markets across
the country captured most of the headlines, one significant impact of the upheaval
in US real estate markets has gone largely unreported: its impact on employment
in the real estate industry, and specifically, the real estate appraisal profession.
This article presents a
current employment
profile of the US real
estate industry, with
special attention given
to appraisal profes-
sionals. It serves as an
informative picture of
the appraisal profession
for use as a benchmark
for future assessment
of growth. As a
component of the real
estate industry, the
appraisal profession
ranks as the smallest
in employment, is
highly correlated to
movements in empioy-
ment of brokers and
agents, and relies on
commerciai banking,
credit, and real estate
lessors and managers
to deliver its products.

Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue .docx
“Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue I and Rescue II. In the first Rescue story we are hurrying in our jeep to save some people – let there be five of them – who are imminently threatened by the ocean tide. We have not a moment to spare, so when we hear of a single person who also needs rescuing from some other disaster we say regretfully that we cannot rescue him, but must leave him to die. To most of us, this seems clear […]. This is Rescue I and with it I contrast Rescue II. In this second story we are again hurrying to the place where the tide is coming in in order to rescue the party of people, but this time it is relevant that the road is narrow and rocky. In this version, the lone individual is trapped (do not ask me how) on the path. If we are to rescue the five we would have to drive over him. But can we do so? If we stop he will be all right eventually: he is in no danger unless from us. But of course, all five of the others will be drowned. As in the first story, our choice is between a course of action that will leave one man dead and five alive at the end of the day and a course of action which will have the opposite result. (Philippa Foot, “Killing and Letting Die,” from Abortion and Legal Perspectives, eds. Garfield and Hennessey, 2004, University of Massachusetts Press)
1. What would Mill tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his theory of utilitarianism? Be clear in explaining Mill’s recommendation, and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The Principle of Utility and how it would specifically apply in this situation—who gets “counted” and how?
2. What would Kant tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his deontological theory? Be clear in explaining Kant’s recommendation and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The first version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in these two situations (hint, you have to say what the maxim would be and what duty would be generated according to it).
o The second version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in this situation.
3. Explain one criticism of both Mill and Kant. Afterward, argue for which ethical approach, on your view is superior. Be specific and provide reasons for your claim.
