This was due to the fact that parents believed in the Eugenists and it was widely accepted that they were bettering society. 
Do you think the terms ¨unfit¨ and ¨fit¨ blinded parents into making poor judgement calls with their children?]]> 2020-12-07 17:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/995224388 alancellotti2021 https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/995270052 ¨American Eugenics scientists in parlance with the situation, tried both to marital unions and large families among those the considered genetically fit.¨ Russell L. Johnson said this in response to Clara bows silent film called ¨Free to Love¨ which aimed to comment on the fact that the government was trying to control who people loved. Do you think this takes away people's free will?

The Eugenics scientists and members believed in scientific racism. This ended up leading to immigration restriction ideas all over Europe and the US.  One example of the Eugenics movement affecting immigration,  is the influence the leaders of Eugenics helped pass the Immigration Restriction Act of 1924. This act halted the influx of the Southeast European Immigrants. 
How do you think the common US population viewed the Eugenics ideas?]]> 2020-12-11 00:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1008469049 nguerlavais2022 https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1008584034 The Eugenics movement did not want immigrants to come into the countries to mess up the so called" Perfect Race". They believed that Immigrants were a lower grade of intelligence compared to the true Americans. According to University of Minnesota, The scientists also believed that immigrants are just bringing the feeble minded, insane, criminals and other inadequate social classes. Since the immigrants were viewed as the ones that brought all these so called genetics to the US, the Eugenics believed that for the benefit of the country the US should get rid of the immigrants.
Should non immigrants also be targeted for having very bad traits?

She was admitted to a state mental Institution. Mental problems ran through her family for 3 generations. At the time there was a Virginia law that allowed sexual sterilization of inmates to promote the health of the patient and the welfare of society. They were going to use this law and perform sterilization on Carrie Buck. But they need a hearing to let them perform the sterilizations. 
What would you have thought about this situation as a US citizen?]]> 2020-12-11 01:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1008607922 nguerlavais2022 https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1008743353 2020-12-11 03:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1008743353 cthurston2022 https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1008745110 Eugenics was a movement based in the philosophy that society should be "purified"  by society only reproducing with those who had desirable traits. These desired traits were considered as positive eugenics and were heavily encouraged, whereas negative eugenics refers to traits that were deemed as undesirable. By definition, eugenics means "good creation", and according to sources ancient philosopher Plato was the first person to talk about this idea, although he used a different term to describe it. He wrote about how high class people should procreate and told lower classes not to have children. The next person to become widely known for the movement was Francis Galton, also known as Charles Darwins cousin. However the first law in support of eugenics in America was made in 1896 Connecticut. It stated that people with epilepsy and who were "feeble-minded" from marrying. In 1903, the American Breeder's Association began to organize national conferences on eugenics to around 1928. Most of those who were told not to procreate were immigrants, minorities and lower class. In 1909, forced sterilizations began in mental hospitals in California, and progressed to other minorities throughout 33 states. The supreme court even ruled that this is not in violation of the constitution. Although this was overturned, Almost half of native Americans were sterilized without consent as recent as 1976. Although the peak of Eugenics in America was in the 1920s, it did lead to the same movement in Puerto rico as well as playing a large role in Hitler's ideology.


How important do you think the ideas of the US and Eugenics movement was on the rest of the world at the time?

Segregation is the practice of limiting interactions between people because of their 'race'. During the Eugenics movement people implemented policies regarding relationships between white and non- white races. These policies lead to white people into dreading miscegenation. 

Why were non whites racially segregated because of the Eugenics Movement?

According to Oyez.org, "Citing the best interests of the state, Justice Holmes affirmed the value of a law like Virginia's in order to prevent the nation from "being swamped with incompetence . . . Three generations of imbeciles are enough."." The judges decided that they were allowed to go through with the sterilization on Carrie Buck.

One major reason eugenics had a downfall, was because of Hitler and his use of sterilization and eugenics in World War ll. Hitler received his ideas from the Americans and their ideas of sterilization in the US.  After World War ll, Eugenics lost momentum and there was a new medical technology and a new form of eugenics. According to history.com, "Modern eugenics, better known as human genetic engineering, changes or removes genes to prevent disease, cure disease or improve your body in some significant way.". The gene engineering was used in a beneficial way in the new technology. The old ways of sterilization has mostly disappeared around the US.
If there wasn't Hitler and the Nazi's, when do you think the US would have realized that their ways of Eugenics weren't very good?]]> 2020-12-11 13:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1009601288 nguerlavais2022 https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1009630290 2020-12-11 13:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1009630290 alancellotti2021 https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1009654713 2020-12-11 13:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1009654713 alancellotti2021 https://padlet.com/alancellotti2021/nl70nmv1qv2vp3kf/wish/1009658218 Eugenics had many lasting effects on the entire world, it not only led to the unlawful sterilization of many but also to the eugenics use in Nazi Germany. The Eugenic Sterilization Law sanctioned the involuntary sterilization of German citizens who possessed hereditary afflictions, epilepsy, mental illnesses ,and physical handicaps.
