Rosie The Riveter

Rosie the Riveter was a campaign for women working during WW1. 11 million men were drafted for the war. Since all these men were gone women began to fill the jobs working. The women helped supply ammo, food, and weapons for the soldiers. The slogan "We can do it" was born.

     The term Rosie the Riveter was first used in 1942 when a song was made. The song talked of a hard working women that worked at a factory. The song soon became a huge hit and was recorded by many different artists. The name Rosie is said to come from a women by the name of Rosie Bonivitas.

      These women worked very hard while their husbands were off at war. They assumed the role of a man and helped out the war effort significally.  Although the women were doing a great job, the government pressed that when the war was over that women assume their normal roles as women.

          The campaign was a huge success improving the women working force from 12 million to 20 million, which was a 57% gain. The women did not get the same fair treatment as the men did though. Men who were working in the factories were payed just a little over 54 dollars a week, while women were getting paid a small amount of 31 dollars per week. Nonetheless Rosie The Riveter convinced women that they need to work to help out their country in the war effort.

      Some people believe  that the Rosie The Riveter opened opportunities for women to join the work force. Others argued that that it not, pointing out that many women were fired after the men returned from work.

Intro- During the great depression thousands lost jobs and thousands more were left homeless. Some say it is the worst time to be alive in America. This essay will display the causes, effects, and solutions of the Great depression. 

II Causes (The causes of the great depression were Crash of the stock market, overspuculation, bank failures)

A overspeculation (Define, how important)- Buyers who were hoping to make a fortune over night

B Govt Policy- govt put a tariff on some goods, it was known as the Hawley smoot tariff. It made it more expensive to buy foreign goods. It drove the price of crops down and put farmers farther into the depressiob.

C Unstable Econ- There were really rich people and really poor not much in the middle and this made the economy unstable.

1 uneven prosperity- the top 5% of the households in the US earned 30% of the nations income.

2 overproduction

3 worker issues / farm issues- during the war farmers focused on making a ton of food. After the war they had a mass amount of food and no one was buying it, this drove the prices down.

III Effects

A Poverty- Many people were very poor and were living in places called Hoovervilles. Soup kitchens fed many of the poor.

B Society- Atrisits who usually would go out and paint a pretty picture now documented and photographed the terrible times of the depression. They showed how dark and horrifying some situations were.

C World- In Germany hitler rises to power and becomes the president. He is very angry after the rest of the world has left him for the debt for ww1

IV Solutions

A Hoover- because so many Americans are not employed, so he creates all sorts of jobs and creates public programs to help bring the nation out of the depression.

1 Volunteerism- Hoover did not like the idea of giving money directly to the people so he offered opportunity’s for people to make their money.

2 Public Works- One big example is the Hoover dam, Hoover employed thousands on making the worlds biggest dam.

3 Hawley Smoot- Raised prices of foreign goods. It made the farming business very difficult

4 RFC- this was the reconstruction fiance corporation, it was created in 1932 in order to help banks through the depression.

B Roosevelt- the democratic president of the U.S. at the time. He was willing to try anything to get the Nation out of the depression.  

1 new deal- Roosevelts policies for ending the depression

a alphabet soup

            example FDIC Federal deposit insurance corporation- provided insurance on bank deposits

            example- sec- securities and exchange commission regulated the stock market

            example-aaa agricultural adjustment administration this paid farmers to stop growing certain crops.

            Example- CCC- civilian conservation corps this helped the unemployed.

b Criticsim?

2 2nd new deal

a Roosevelts idea to create new jobs

b. social security act- this provided security for elderly and unemployed americans.

C WPA- gave jobs to unemployed constructing highways and bridges, roads.

V Criticicism

B Political Criticism (ex. Came from both the _left___________ and ____right__________)

A Conservatives- American liberty was a group that did not like Roosevelts plan and felt it was violating their rights.

B Liberals (ex: criticised the new deal also. They....) wanted more action and spending

Ex Huey long made the Share out wealths clubs. He thought the rich should help the poor in order to stabilize the economy.

B Unions- when workers went on strike. There was a sit down strike.

C Culture- these were people who still belevied in the way the gov. was running in America.

VII Conclusion- The Great depression was a horrifying time and left many scared and afraid of what can happen. With the help of many programs set up by the president the Nation was helped out of the hole, but some things will always stay with us. The love for money and willingness to hold onto it will remain in the back of our heads forever. 

Penicillin

Penicillin, often abbreviated by PCN, is a group of antibiotics that came from penicillium fungi. PCN was an early antibiotic then was very affective against diseases such as Syphilis and staphylococci. PCN is still widely used in todays society but some diseases have adapted and PCN is not affective on them. 

 Penicillin was invented by Alexander Flemming in 1928. Flemming was a Scottish scientist who conducuted an expirement that included penicllium fungi. The results he produced were suprising, producing one of the first antibiotics. To produce the Penicillin flemming had to keep the Peniciilin fungi cells under stress, thus causing them to produce the antibiotic we still use today. 

In 1946 some U.S. scientists conducted an expirement to make sure the Penicillin was still in effect. They had prositutes, that were infected with Syphillis, see prision inmates in Guatemala. These inmates then were treated with the Penicillin antibiotics. 1300 inmates were infected with the STD and all were treated with Penicillin. Out of the 1300, 48 died. The article says that it is unclear of the deaths were realted to the STD or not.

6 Months

           
Dear Mom and Pah,



It has been a long 6 months since I've had the chance to send a letter. So I decided today that id write you. Fighting across seas has been very rough. We have been fed little food and are living in some pretty bad conditions. We have been fighting out of a trench for every now, I think I’m going a little crazy. I've gotten some pretty bad infections on my feet, since my boots have been worn down to pretty much nothing. I'll attach some pictures for you guys to see. The sleeping conditions are terrible here, we all thought the war would be over so soon we didn't think of it. I'm sleeping under some old table, it leaks on me a little but it's not as bad as some guys have it! Hows my old man doing? I can't wait to get back there and kick your butt in some basketball. It's not that much fun here, and I've been really missing you guys. Tell John I said hi, and make sure to tell him hes lucky hes so young, because being here sucks. Mom I hope your garden is going well and I expect some big tomatoes when I get back!
Well tomorrow we move to a newer trench closer to the front lines. Wish me luck because I'm going to need it. Lets hope there is some more food there because I could really go for a huge American Burger. I also hope there are some new shoes. That would put a very big smile on my face. Make sure to tell my old pup hi, boy have I been missing her!
I'll be home soon, don't be missing me to much. I will try to write often know that I have become good friends with the messenger that should not be to hard.

Love you guys,



                                                    Casey Shannon.
