'''H2)''' Yellow journalism was definitly present suring the 2008 election. Rarely would one see something against Obama on the news, no matter how little experience he has in some rather important areas, or his controversial standings. However, there were plenty of things against McCain, even though he had much more experience then Obama. The problem was, McCain was no different from any other presidential candidate. Obama was, simply because of the color of his skin. He also was much younger then his opponent, something that was pointed out many times in new articles. Because of these things, there may have been just a bit of prejeduce in the voting.

'''H3)''' As horrible as it sounds, I don't believe that America wanted other countries for business interests, but instead for the power that Americans still to this day tend to crave. We have notoriously stuck our noses again and again where they do not belong, but sometimes I admit there were good reasons. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan is not exactly an act of Imperialism, but we still don't really belong there. We do in some ways since certain people groups of the countries have repeatedly threatened neighboring countries and ourselves, though. As if we somehow have to prove ourselves in doing something for the "better" of other countries.

But for other places, like in the 1800s the Philippines and Cuba, the only reason it seems we were there was for the power we would gain, not for business.
