1. The purpose is to show kids what they need to do in the case of a nuclear attack. I bet it caused children to be afraid of the world they lived in, kind of like they always have to be aware of everything.
ReplyDelete2. Over 2000! I think it's necessary to make sure that they still work and are usable. It's necessary, but I believe that most of them were to be used as warning signals or to show off.
3. I believe ISM is Communism. You lose your freedom and all of your rights. I believe it mostly to be true because communism likes to put everything into a large pot and everyone gets the same benefits, no matter what.
4. I believe the message is that some people in government were given their privileges and didn't have to do anything to earn them. They're selfish and money hungry. I agree because people of this nature feel like the world owes them something, when in reality, they owe the world something.
1. Purpose: Show people what to do when an atomic bomb drops. This most likely scared children and probably caused them to live on edge.
ReplyDelete2. 2053 bombs were dropped. I don't think it was necessary to do so many, i bet a majority of them was used just to show off and used as a scare tactic for the other countries and warn them .
3. Communism. Everything is basically taken away from you, (freedom, rights, land,). I think it's sort of true, but i also think they over dramatized it into scaring people into saying no.
4. I agree with Tyler on this one. People are given positions that they haven't worked for and tend to abuse that power just like the cartoon showed. I agree with this because we still have it today.
1. It's purpose was to inform about what children about what they should do during an atomic bomb drop/explosion. This probably scared the kids and even adults.
ReplyDelete2. 2,053. I don't think it was necessary. Maybe one or two every year, but that's just a bunch of money spent on weapons that aren't fulfilling their purpose.
3. ISM is communism. Everyone "shares" everything.
4. I agree with Tyler and Hydia.
