https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4 The Prologue of Romeo and Juliet references how an "ancient grudge break to new mutiny" (line 3). Think of a event in recent or ancient history, American or world wide, in which an old conflict has resurfaced and influenced a modern conflict. Identify the event and compose several sentences of explanation. en-us 2016-05-10 14:12:49 UTC 2025-12-30 18:44:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.storage.googleapis.com/portrait/earth.jpg https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110111444 One event that happened long ago that still affects us today is jobs and how we compete with immigrants for those jobs like with the Red Scare. During the Red Scare many people were violent with each other for jobs and much blood was shed because of this. Today many people are desperate for jobs and would do anything for those jobs and they especially wouldn't want immigrants taking the jobs they need so they throw racial slurs at each other and even get violent with each other in rare cases. 

So even to this day the Red Scare haunts us to this day even when we wish for it to not affect us anymore we are forever haunted by these morbid thoughts of the past and not much has seemed to change since back then. ]]> 2016-05-10 14:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110111444 jrocks1125 https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110111470 In the late 1910s through the early 1920s, a phenomenon called the Red Scare blossomed in the United States. Triggered by the Bolshevik Russian Revolution, an immense fear of communism and anarchism was put on the minds of many people living in the United States. Many citizens became fearful of immigrants who came to the United States from communist countries and these immigrants were often crucified in almost every aspect of their life.

Eventually, the Red Scare passed, but the underlying fear of communism stuck around. This fear still exists among many people today. However, when things began to grow tense between the United States and the USSR (especially when we learned of their obtention of nuclear weapons) a new Red Scare began. Though it was under the new name. McCarthyism, popularized by the Senator Joseph McCarthy, was the same deal. The United States was thrown into a hysteria of suspicion. Every aspect of someone who was deemed suspicious was overanalyzed. If you didn't fit the square of a good, capitalist citizen, you were crucified socially and could potentially be arrested under improper charges or the victim of a hate crime. 

This new Red Scare sparked the Cold War and is still the subject of one of the greatest modern controversies in United States history.]]> 2016-05-10 14:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110111470 https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110114133 First time America sent a rocket ship to the moon and man walked on the moon

Old Grudge: 
       The Zika Virus has always been known, but was first originally found in the year 1947 in West Africa by the Nile River. The disease or virus, which ever you prefer to call it is known to be related to dengue, yellow fever and West Nile virus. The 'thing' that transmitted the disease is actually a species of mosquito called the Aedes species mosquito. The disease is transmitted/given to a person through a bite of an infected Aedes mosquito, but also through the contact of touching an infected human's mucus or blood, quite similar to Ebola. The solution at the time was to just kill of the mosquitos using pesticides which worked... temporarily. 
       
What Happened In-between: 
       People who have the disease don't always show symptoms of the disease, only 80% of people do. However the 20% who don't show symptoms don't always know they are holding the disease and aren't very cautious. In 2015, a major breakout occurred in Brazil. But how does a disease go from one continent to another? As said before, the disease can be transmitted from person to person via blood or mucus contact. There's one simple answer that was found in early 2016, blood transfusions.

New Mutiny:
     When the breakout occurred in Brazil, researchers and scientists did not know that blood and mucus contact of an infected person spread the disease. During this time, Brazil and other Nations were donating blood to these in need, and potentially, some donors were carriers of the disease. With people in Brazil getting tainted blood, more and more cases had come up of people with the Yellow Flu, Dengue, and most importantly... West Nile Virus, a disease that supposedly was erased from Earth has suddenly come up again. In America, more outbreaks began to occur as well, causing somewhat a mass panic. Researchers also found an increase of the population for the Aedes mosquitos not just in Africa, but also in Asia and North America. With the threat of blood donors actually having the potential of transmitting diseases, hospitals are now required to inspect a person's blood before they wish to donate. If a person is said to have Zika in them, the person must wait 4 weeks for their body to fight the virus. (Which didn't work and caused more problems.) ]]> 2016-05-10 14:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110116073 https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110150726 The great depression was a time were there was barley any food , people lost their homes , people lost there life savings , people lost there jobs . and now the government has control of the banks so people can't lose their money  , theres a lot of food being supplied ]]> 2016-05-10 16:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110150726 https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110334222 In the first world war, the Allies fought against Germany and other countries. When this war ended, the Allies made Germany sign the Treaty of Versailles, in order to accept responsibility for the war. Many thought this was the end of the war, and another world war wouldn't happen again time soon. Germany was bitter, and they decided to not follow the Treaty of Versailles, so World War II started. ]]> 2016-05-11 14:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110334222 https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110337892 The stock market was the Wall Street of 1929, billions of dollars were gone and the banks lost all their money basically called "Bank Runs." Unemployment had risen and everyone had lost their jobs during this time. A lot of people had a lot of wealth. This happened on what people call "Black Tuesday."

There were two tall buildings that sat tall , these building also sat closely to each other . They were called " The twin tower" 2,996 people were killed and 6,000 others were injured. These immidiate deaths included 265 on the air planes , 2,606 in the World Trade Center and in the surrounding areas. Also an additional 125 people killed at the Pentagon.

This day happened unexpectedly and it always comes up here and there at least once or twice a year in your classroom,  Just like Romeo and juliet everything brought from the past had been unexpectedly brought back to haunt everyone in the end. People in Isis hated us and wanted to hurt people and this affected everyone forever just like Romeo and juliet the hate between the two families had came back to bite everyone. ]]> 2016-05-12 14:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110557140 https://padlet.com/leahjlevy/RJconnection4/wish/110558533 flappers where women in the 1920's usually young Western women who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behavior they wanted to live and take that in that they didn't have kids or any responsibilitie . it was a battle of women suffrage and the equality of women .

At first it was strictly for buisness, but soon, racism had started and white people began to see them selfs as superior to african american people. But since most slaves were in the south, the south was much more racist then the north was. Which is why the south was against giving african american people rights, while the north would like it more.

A lot of people were un-employed and they were broke and could barely provide for there families, all the banks went bankrupt, and job oopruttunities are at an all time low. Everyone was searching for something to do some type of work so they can provide for there families. Farmers would take out loans to not be able to pay them back. (That's why the banks closed)  They lost all there lifes savings, which wasn't very much so they could feed there children...but a lot of people lost there housings. This was a economic bust and a terrible time in the economy
