    This book helped me better understand Muckraking and investigative journalism in a more in depth way. It was very interesting to read how these issues addressed came about and how when posted in a magazine for example it reaches a broad spectrum of people from all different backgrounds. This book seemed boring at first, but in the end I feel that it was effective in providing me a foundation for this topic, then becoming more in depth with little things that are not normally addressed in a basic summary. I do feel that the editors did succeed in their goals of compiling articles and using more interesting in depth facts on the subject…

    During the years when the World War I took place Wilson entered his second presidency term. At the beginning he planned to keep United States out of the war but after Germany killed thousands of people and started to attack U.S. merchant ships he changed his view.

    The speech declared that World War I (specifically the United State’s involvement in it) was being fought for a moral cause (Eaton, 1919). Wilson hoped that by openly announcing this justification for American involvement in the war it would help keep America unlinked from the European nationalistic disputes and ambitions, both during and after the war. Wilson’s Fourteen Points speech was also meant as a preemptive call for peace in Europe after the war ended and was the only explicit statement of war aims by any of the nations that were involved in the active fighting of the war (Unger, 2007). Since it was the only public statement of war aims that was given (as well as being quite fair to every nation involved in the war), it became the basis for the terms of the German surrender at the end of the war. The speech was also widely distributed as an instrument of allied propaganda; copies were dropped behind German lines to encourage the Central Powers to surrender in the expectation of a just settlement (Bowle, 1958).…

Many Americans feared that their resources would run out and that the U.S. should be prepared to look somewhere else if resources became too low. The U.S. had finally became a leading economic power in the world. Therefore the U.S. was easily able to take part in foreign expansion in overseas territory. A lot of farmers and manufacturers were looking to expand into foreign markets after America’s new found success.
