Great Society

One of the reasons support for the Great Society declined in the late 1960's were issues with the Vietnam war. The Vietnam war greatly reduced the amount of political power that could be used promoting The Great Society. Johnson felt that he was going to be criticized either way. If he elected to stay out of the war and work on his Great Society programs at home he would be criticized as a coward for not promoting the promise of containment. This would not only hurt him but the nation as well. If he entered the war it would essentially kill any chance of the Great Society working to its full extent, he felt that his obligation as President was to the nation, and therefore chose to enter the war, which damaged his Great Society.

Unlike the old New Deal, which was a response to a severe financial and economic calamity, the Great Society initiatives came just as the United States' post-World War II prosperity was starting to fade, but before the coming decline was being felt by the middle and upper classes.

During the campaign Kennedy had stated that America was “on the edge of a New Frontier”; in his inaugural speech he spoke of “a new generation of Americans”; and during his presidency he seemed to be taking government in a new direction, away from the easygoing Eisenhower style. His administration was headed by strong, dedicated personalities. The Kennedy staff was also predominantly young. Its energy and commitment revitalized the nation, but its competence was soon called into question.

In April 1961 Kennedy authorized a plan that had been initiated under Eisenhower for a covert invasion of Cuba to overthrow the newly installed, Soviet-supported communist regime of Fidel Castro. The invasion was repulsed at the Bay of Pigs, embarrassing the administration and worsening relations between the United States and the Soviet Union. These deteriorated further at a private meeting between Kennedy and Khrushchev in June 1961 when the Soviet leader was perceived as attempting to bully his young American counterpart. Relations hit bottom in October 1962 when the Soviets secretly began to install long-range offensive missiles in Cuba, which threatened to tip the balance of nuclear power. Kennedy forced the removal of the missiles, gaining back the status he had lost at the Bay of Pigs and in his meeting with Khrushchev. Kennedy then began to work toward improving international relations, and in July 1963 he concluded a treaty with Britain and the Soviet Union banning atomic tests in the atmosphere and underwater. His program of aid to Latin America, the Alliance for Progress, raised inter-American relations to their highest level since the days of Franklin Roosevelt.

Kennedy’s domestic policies were designed to stimulate international trade, reduce unemployment, provide medical care for the aged, reduce federal income taxes, and protect the civil rights of Blacks. The latter issue, which had aroused national concern in 1962 when federal troops were employed to assure the admission of a Negro at the University of Mississippi, caused further concern in 1963, when similar action was taken at the University of Alabama and mass demonstrations were held in support of desegregation. Although the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, the administration’s proposals usually encountered strong opposition from a coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats. With Congress’s support, Kennedy was able to increase military spending substantially. This led to greater readiness but also to a significant rise in the number of long-range U.S. missiles, which prompted a similar Soviet response.

The Great Society was a war on poverty and was led by Lyndon B Johnson. There were several things involved in the Great Society but a few of them are the Higher Education Act which allowed more students to attend college from things such as Pell Grants and loans, etc. It also included the Water Quality Act which started the testing of water for pollutants and bacteria in the water. The Air Quality Act also set standards for industrial and auto emissions. The Civil Rights Act outlawed segregation in all public places and facilities. The US now had a form of a welfare system. Poverty levels declined (In 1973, only 11% of the population was under the poverty line). It divided the Democratic Party (Southern democrats were angry about the new Civil Rights Act and started to turn conservative). This plan also created a budget deficit because the U.S could not afford both Vietnam and the Great Society. The Great Society was a war on poverty and was led by Lyndon B Johnson.

Richard Nixon extended the reach of the existing Great Society initiative by expanding funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, which were established under the Great Society initiative.

The Great Society's legacy is considered mixed because while it introduced important social programs and policies like Medicare and Medicaid, there were also criticisms of the expansion of government involvement and concerns about the cost and effectiveness of some programs. Additionally, racial tensions and other societal challenges persisted despite the aims of the Great Society initiatives.

The Great Society was a set of domestic programs initiated by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1960s, aiming to eliminate poverty and racial injustice in the United States. Its key elements included initiatives like Medicare, Medicaid, public broadcasting, and the War on Poverty.

Ecstasy doesn't affect society outside of those who use it and their close friends and family. How they're affected is different from person to person.

Most are affected with either using the drug themselves, leaving the friend or family member or trying to help them.

I don't think there's more to it than that.

The Great Society was President Lyndon Johnson's effort to cure social ills, such as racism and poverty, via government programs. Although success was moderate, it needs to be understood that following Johnson's departure, three Republican presidents, Nixon, Ford and Reagan, effectively gutted the program by transferring funds to other programs. During his term of office, the poverty level fell from 22% to 12.5% and federal expenditures on education rose from $4 billion to $12 billion. However, the program was expensive, raising government spending as much as four times as much as it was in 1961.
