Another reason is "
 Poverty, hunger, and lack of opportunity were hurting black communities. Neil Armstrong famously declared the moon landing as a “giant leap for mankind,” but at the moment it happened, mankind was suffering on Earth. The Apollo 11 mission was not a victory for humankind; instead, it was an expensive and painful reminder of the limits of humans’ empathy and imagination. " These are some pretty strong claims for this problem.

My proof is when they say "...But at the moment it happened, mankind was suffering back on earth." This shows that while NASA was making history, America was suffering.

These crises include poverty, world hunger, and lack of opportunities, "Meanwhile, almost a quarter of a million miles away and back on Earth, black men and women were fighting for their lives in the American Civil Rights movement."  The author states that the money used in Apollo 11 should have contributed to resolving problems here on earth, and not in space, "The Apollo 11 mission was not a victory for humankind; instead, it was an expensive and painful reminder of the limits of humans’ empathy and imagination."

During that time many people created riots due to poverty. They spread out that the money used for this mission should be used for the people in poverty.

The author brings up the Civil Rights movement and how African Americans' were working hard but it was just covered up. The US was also having major issues of poverty and used much of their money on space and called it a "leap for mankind" when people were being ignored.

Another reason that the author uses to support their claim is that they state that "The Apollo 11 mission was not a victory for humankind; instead, it was an expensive and painful reminder of the limits of humans’ empathy and imagination."

We can tell this because of the quote stated at the end saying "The Apollo 11 mission was not a victory for humankind; instead, it was an expensive and painful reminder of the limits of humans’ empathy and imagination." This quote tells us that the author feels that America favors technology over mankind because they discuss that this wasn't a victory for mankind. There are still people in this world in pain. Since we put this launch as a priority we showed that we lack empathy for others and tried to show how great America is by showing that we can launch to space. This in the author's eyes is seen as selfish but personally I disagree.

" This quote shows the readers how while Neil Armstrong declared this extraordinary momment as a "gaint leap for mankind," but many were still suffering through proverty and unjust back on Earth. Moreover, it also states, "The Apollo 11 mission was not a victory for humankind; instead, it was an expensive and painful reminder of the limits of humans’ empathy and imagination." Lastly, this quote shows the reader how Apollo mission wasn't a victory for mankind but instead a painful, expensive reminder of the limited empathy, imagination and unjust proverty many faced in that time period/moment.

As a result, these quotes/reasons support and shows the reader that America values technological advancement more than than it values its people.]]> 2022-03-30 14:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/talisha1mobley/Bookmarks/wish/2121648092 Eli Burkett https://padlet.com/talisha1mobley/Bookmarks/wish/2121648176 The author uses the reason of people fighting for their lives and struggling. The government spent a lot of their money on the rocket when it could have been helping others. Some evidence is "Peaceful protests for human rights were being met with fire hoses, dogs, and police batons. Poverty, hunger, and lack of opportunity were hurting black communities." This shows how when people were just peacefully protesting for rights the nation turned it into violence. Another piece of evidence is "The Apollo 11 mission was not a victory for humankind; instead, it was an expensive and painful reminder of the limits of humans’ empathy and imagination. " This shows that by spending all that money on exploring new areas they disregarded others' sufferings.

This excerpt from the text says “giant leap for mankind,” but at the moment it happened, mankind was suffering on Earth. The Apollo 11 mission was not a victory for humankind; instead, it was an expensive and painful reminder of the limits of humans’ empathy and imagination." This shows that America was not in a good state and was more focused on the space race and not on how the interactions of mankind were going. Another piece of evidence is "Meanwhile, almost a quarter of a million miles away and back on Earth, black men and women were fighting for their lives in the American Civil Rights movement." This shows that the people of America wanted equality and not to land on the moon but rights. To show the interactions were not going well is a piece of text that says "Peaceful protests for human rights were being met with fire hoses, dogs, and police batons." This shows peaceful protesters were being hit and hurt for wanting to end hunger and equal rights. ]]> 2022-03-30 14:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/talisha1mobley/Bookmarks/wish/2121650471 What reasons does the author use to support the claim that: America values technological advancement more than it values its people? https://padlet.com/talisha1mobley/Bookmarks/wish/2121651989 The author shows us that black men and women were fighting for their lives .

The author shows that America values their technological advancement using the reasons that while America was advancing to the moon many people were starving, in poverty, and while protesting peacefully they were met with fire hoses, dogs, and police batons. Evidence of this is, "almost a quarter of a million miles away and back on Earth, black men and women were fighting for their lives in the American Civil Rights movement."
