:... the larger country might actually want to help the smaller country, which they often do. Many people do not know that President Theodore Roosevelt added a corollary (an addition) to the Monroe Doctrine. In it he stated that the United States, because it was a “civilized nation,” had the right to stop “chronic wrongdoing” throughout the Western Hemisphere. (Nick DeJ.)

:... Americans should remember that we are not on earth to take over the world, but to instead, because of America's rich heritage, be a light to it. (Laura Grace K.)
: ... you can have a larger country pushing around the smaller countries and being a bad role model to them with communism, just like a bully at school bossing the weaker, younger kids around. (Leonard G.)
3. Your thoughts on the progressive movement, please.
3. Your thoughts on the progressive movement, please.
:The lecture states that the progressive movement is explained in two words, “better government.” Better government is always a good thing to strive for. You can have the best government in the world and still look for ways to improve it. This idea is just like running a business; there are always ways to increase sales. The progressive movement has many great points that have greatly improved our country. Some of these points were suffrage for all women, the direct election of senators, laws against “sweat shops,” and safety improvements of work places. (Leonard G.)

:Progressive movement advocates want a government that protects its citizens. I think all countries have a need for better government. Haiti needs better government to make the lives of the people safer and better. For example, there was a school and the roof collapsed and 94 children died because the owner didn't have it inspected for safety. There there were a better government, there would have been a law that states you must have a building inspected for safety in order to be used. Many lives might have been saved. (Steven H.)
:... We need less government, not more or smarter government. (Tom H.)
: I agree with them on some issues like the laws against sweat shops but some of their ideas I don't agree with like granting women suffrage. Personally I'd rather have it so only property-owning citizens could vote .... (Karen N.)
: The progressive movement was good and bad. All in all, it isn't a bad theory, except for a few of the points it included. ... monopolies ... are not as bad as they are made out to be ... unions ... destroy jobs, the economy, companies and technological advances ... anti-war ... sometimes [war] is completely necessary .... (Anna M.)

:... However, the third option available to McKinley, which would be to grant the Philippines independence, is not an option to this cartoonist. I think this is shown by the cartoonist because the boy is depicted as a savage, not yet ready to take care of himself. (Nick DeJ.)

: ... The Philippines being portrayed as a small heathen boy shows that the cartoonist thinks they are not worthy to govern themselves, therefore they must be "civilized and Christianized." (Will M.)

:In 1910, the Army Corps of Engineers raised the USS Maine. The ship was believed to be a hazard to navigating the waters. She needed to be moved. Before the ship was moved to the deeper waters of the Gulf of Mexico, another court convened to examine (the remains of) the vessel. This court determined that the explosion was from the ship’s magazines, which were triggered by an external blast.

:In 1976 Admiral Hyman Rickover and a group of naval officers reviewed the evidence from the previous investigations. They concluded that a coal fire started aboard the Maine and caused the magazine explosion. They found no support for the “mine theory”.

:More recently, in 1999, National Geographic did an analysis of the explosion based on computer modeling. They concluded that an inward bend to the hole in the bottom of the hull pointed to an external explosion.
