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?

RJA # 3b

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.

RJA# 3a.

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.

RJA #2

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.
