RJA #14a. Application Project Progress
I was trying to decide if i wanted to switch my my prroject but after deciding that this was my best way to go I found a lot of sources to help me out. I decided to go wiht the journal entries and write about a young mans life begininning before World War II and ending after he came back from fighting in the war and ending it with a reflection of what he had gone through.
I have accomplished a lot on my project and am pretty happy with the outcome. I have found my sources and have written up a solid journal that I feel has all the aspects I was looking for with the beginning, then the war and how it was affecting him while he was fighting and how life was like back at home, and finally how life was like when he got back home from the war and how life was like.
I believe it was a pretty good entry but I think it is not a finished piece and could use a little more work or at least more polished entries that I hope will come out of what I wrote.

RJA 15 Reflection
This class ahs helped me use and find many more suorces than I have even tried to look for and they will help me with not only school but everyday life. I have made some large purchases while I was in this class and I made my decision by researching further than I would have ever done before. I also learned a lot about not only my topic but everyones topic that I had the good fortune to read and a lot of them will help me in my life and otherss were jsut extremely intersting to learn about. This class while be it a lot of work was defiantely a class that I am glad I took.

RJA #13c: Application Project Example
http://history1900s.about.com/cs/storiesfromwwii/
This is a site that had journal entries from soliders that fought in arious battles and this is the sort of thing that I was looking for. Something that could make you feel for where they are at but I wanted to add something about where they were before the battles began and how they are being affected in their own personal lives. This site is also ery good becuase it gives a variety of soldiers journals to look at so it gives the sides of the scared, the brave, the people in the battles etc. whic gives me the variety to make the best journal entries possible.

RJA #13b: Application Project Plan
Since because my paper is about a certain length of time the news article is something that would be a little hard so I chose to do the journal entries because I believe the paper is more of a personal kind of a paper rather than information based. It will be about about a few journal entries about people who were sent to war and how they felt about the war and how their lives had changed. The people will come from a different place: monetarily and socially to give more depth to the entries. It is something taht will be difficult to make even but from everything I have learned I feel like this is the best possible choice.

RJA #10c: Ideas for the Application Project
1. Journal Entry
I would my journal entry to my Uncle Rex because he lived through the Great Depression and was on the front lines of the invasions of Africa, Italy and the heart of Germany. He lived through some of our poorest times as a country and some of our highest times so he definately has an idea of what he believes is what is right and wrong. I would tell him what the statistics were according to every economic source I found, I would also let him know of all the things that were going on at home while he was off at war with all of the technological and industrial advances or withdrawls that were occurring.
2. Short Story
I would write this about an two individuals who came home and how their lives were affected positively or negatively during the war. Like one person left who was rich and owned a small business but came back and lost his business becuase machines were developed to mass produce he singularly made. The other man went into the war poor and on a downward spiral until he met someone in the war who gave him inspiration then he came home and went to school and joined a business that was helping create the machines.
3. News Article
This one be a little difficult because of the length of the time period I am doing. I could still pick out a singel day where we lost many men and there was a ship that was blown up carrying many imports/exports and on another article wrote about how we were supplying the war with war materials.
4. Editorial
In this editorial I would focus on the pros and cons of the technoligical aspect of what was advancing and standing still during a particular time in the wartime. Stating how some companies were able to advance becuase of the mass production of materials but how smaller companies were struggling to advance becuase of either their workers leaving for war or a lack of economical resources for them to buy goods needed to become larger in their individual field.

RJA #10b: Progress Report for Argumentative Paper
What I have accomplished
I have finished one of my interviews have found a lot of information that I have put into categories that I feel like will help me be able to easily tranistion them on to a piece of paper rather than jsut attacking it straight up.
What I need to Do
I still have an interview that I really want to get that would be an incredibly interesting take on the wars from a point of view that has seen the Great Depression World War II and nearly every big event in America since then. I also need to begin writing my paper so I can really see how well I am putting my paper together and what I need to work on.

RJA #10a: Annotated Bibliography, Part 1
Blaine Underberg Pvt. 1st Class U.S. Army
I interviewed a friend of mine from High School who I was not exactly very close with. He went into the army around 8 and a half months ago and he was stationed in Kuwait. I wanted to ask him about how he felt beofre and after he entered the army. Blaine did not enter the army after High School becase thats what he wanted or because someone in his family was in the army but because he was ordered by the courts to either spend time in the army or a year in jail. He had a nice job in wyoming before but he still said the mistake he made to go to jail might have been a blessing in disguise. Not only did he stay out of jail but he also said he changed a lifestyle that was taking him the wrong way. Which was a revelation for me on a part of my paper because I am not debating whether it is good to be in the army or not but is war something that is good or bad for the economy. This was a situation that saved the government money on sending another person to jail for an extended amount of time and maybe it could have become worse so in this case I believe that it was not only great for him but something that made him into a better person who said he even feels like going back to school and building a future for himself.

The time leading up to World War II America had already been a part of more ups and downs that most people thing. There were many small recessions in the early part of the century that are are majorly looked over becasue of the Great Depression. This article is talking about all those times and how the economy began to boom before the stock market collapse then the rise of the economy back up after World War II began and ended. As the article went on there was a great graph on the unemployment rate before the war to 1942 and how the rate rose steadily peaked then dropped drastically in 1939. The Union memebership rates also began to rise drastically thanks to the new deal that was instituted. This article albeit just for one war it shows great detail in the economic side of the wartime.

This site is a general facts article about Vietnam but when I began to read deeper I found a lot of information about what imports and exports were being effected or created becuase of the war. Just becuase trades were becoming more accesible does not mean that was something was good becuase we lost a lot of our imports from people we were fighting against and their allies. It had a lot of information on the war itself which is not very helpful discussion but in this instance it was very relevant. Also this talked about the effects the war and location of the war had on our soldiers. This is not necessairly a site that I will use much for my paper but it was definately one that I enjoyed breaking down becuase it had all the elements to make it a difficult article to look at.

RJA #8a: Quotation, Paraphrase, and Summary
"The Vietnam War had several effects on the U.S. economy. The requirements of the war effort strained the nation's production capacities, leading to imbalances in the industrial sector. Factories that would have been producing consumer goods were being used to make items from the military, causing controversy over the government's handling of economic policy. In addition, the government's military spending caused several problems for the American economy."
http://www.historycentral.com/sixty/Economics/Vietnam.html
The Vietnam War had multiple consequences on the U.S. financial system. The obligations of the war stuggle labored the nation's manufacturing capabilities, leading to inequity in the commerce district. Industrial units that would have been manufacturing buyer commodities were being used to yield objects from the armed forces, resulting in disagreement over the government's conduct of financial procedure. In addition, the government's armed forces expenses caused multiple tribulations for the American economy.
During the Vietnam war normal manufactures had to stop producing normal goods to produce goods for the military leading to a shortage of certain supplies. Also the government was spending too much money on the war leading to discrepencies in the American economy at the time.

Museums
I got the idea after looking at Thomas's blog but I really like it considering I could try and to find an expert or someone who contributes a lot to the museum to see if could have a word or a full interview. I think it would be a very interesting way to get an interview and have a more personal way to to get into my topic especially if there are a lot of people willing to help me out.
Polls
This one interestes me becuase if I conducted a poll asking people if War is good everyone knows what the answer would be but if I put in is War good outside of the death and carnage? I think it would be intersting to see if people's answers might change a little becuase they think War economies do help econmies that are in trouble.
My third one wasn't coming very easy to me becuase I am really hoping that I can knock two of these out with the museums, becuase I am hoping if no one is there to help me on an interview they can give me a source that would be helpful for an interview.

This website at first semmed like a dead end that could barely help me at all until I dove a little deeper. On the surface it appeared to be only a timeline of all major battles the United States has ever been a part of which is nice to give me a sense of the times of the wars I am looking in too but they were much more. First, I went to World War II then I clicked on the part of the timeline it was on and what came up mad ethe site one to bookmark immediately. It not only went into what the war was about but military expenditures, what the army was producing which has a lot to do with the economy during the time and a lot of other things as well. It had this for every War that America has been in so it will be something I will be looking into more and more.

Books have been something I have been searching very extensively and no matter what search I do or how many books I see the book that always shows up is this one. It has everything that I need the only major thing that limits this source is my topic is an economic view and the book is over a much larger aspect of the Wars. Not to say that it doesn't have any economic factors becuase I found a lot of them just with the brief overview of the book that I have seen so far without reading a whole lot of it. Books have been an area of weakness along with articles but this is definately one that I will be looking forward to read.

http://www.thefreelibrary.com/A+revealing+window+on+the+U.S.+economy+in+depression+and+war%3a+hours...-a0203026407
This article, another great reference by Robert Higgs, starts before World War II but for my topic it is great because it talks about the national economy extensively through the War. It includes the National GDP, Gross GDP, unemployment and most of all military expenditures. This article wil be one of the most important pieces of my paper during World War II becuase of the extensive stats that are produced. Also it goes into deep detail about wages and hours worked and the differences of the two during Wartime and peacetime. Which is something that is very important becuase of the rate of unemployment before the War and how much it changed when the United States entered the War.

Effects of World War II

This again is about World War II but the part that stuck out to me for this particular assignment was how this had more that jsut the generic things I am looking for. This site has what happened around the rest of the World as well jsut so I could have comparisons and it also has what advancements were made in science and technology. Which were very large parts of the economy before and after becuase any industrial avancement is usually very prolific in the econommic areas becuase any less time needed for production means more money, etc. The website does not have a lot of information which is a downside but it has a lot of points which will help me if I become stuck in my research and need soemthing to look at to give me a litttle boost.

Who is directly affected more big or small businesses?
What are the gains and losses of war in the economy?
When does the economy bounce back if it is decimated by war?
Where is the economy faltering more if it is( car companies, retail stores, etc.)?
How is the economy different with the size and time of war?
Why do some countries get hit harder than others during wartime?
Should a person buy materials during wartime even if they can't afford it to help the economy to spend more on the military?
Would things be much different if war didn't occur at that time?

Debates about Wars are vast and endless but the ones I will be looking deeper into are ones regarding economics.
Is the war putting us deeper into debt or pulling us out of it?
Are we gaining or losing trade imports/exports?
Because the soldiers are leaving is this creating higher or lower employment?
Are we advancing during wartime ( technologically, spiritually etc.) or standing still until it is over?
As we go along in society how are the wars affecting not only the economy but people as a whole?
As the media expands is it better or worse in wartime ( WWII- Vietnam)?
These are just a few but for the most part the ones I am most interested in and want to dissect as much as possible.

For my initial research I spent most of my time looking at just generic information on the Vietnam War, Cold War and WWII to freshen up my memory and go more into detail than the normal research of the wars. I looked to see if i could find information on the economics of the wars and also things like import and export before and after the war, to see if this was even a topic that I could do. I found all of this information with a few simple key words into google.com search engine. They are just the beginning if my research but none the less I was ecstatic to find most of the information I was looking for. I looked at about 10 sites that helped me immensely and had the basic information that I really needed. I bookmarked the sites I went into and this will be a little bit more tedious than I originally planned because my topic is more specific oriented than I originally thought. The information on the pages were right to the point rather than large overviews of a specific topic so each website I looked into had the numbers I needed for each individual war but not much detail into how it affected the country. So that is where my research will begin when I get seriously into researching the topic. http://delicious.com/jacobhamilton Is where to look at any sites I bookmarked. One last note from my initial research was that I was pleased to see there was a very equal amount of information on each war rather than finding a lot on WWII and none on the Cold War.

I chose the topic of Wars in America and how they directly affected not only the people but economy and general landscape of the United States at the particular time. This a highly debated event anytime war is even mentioned. I know a lot about wars but not about the direct affects of the people and government at home. This is not a debate on whether wars are good or not but on how the economy, jobs and general outlook shift when we are entered in a dipute with another nation. I will be looking at wars starting with World War II. In my emergence of modern U.S. history class we barely scratched the surface about World War I and its reprecussions on the home front and I was extremely interested and wanted to learn more but we only spent 1 class period covering it.
I will be resarching the strength of nationality, the economy and how the war was not only doing to our soldiers but our citizens back home. I will also be looking into other countries as well but more for comparisons to see how similar the countries citizens were handling the war as in America.
War is looked at as only a bad thing but I want to look into something more than the death and carnage and look into the views of people who aren't directly fighting in the war. I have my predictions but as a whole I have no idea how large of a role war plays on the everyday life of a person not actually directly invested in the war.
