Chapter 14 (Sections 1-3), Questions 1-4

-Section 1-

1.
moratorium: An official authorization to suspend payments, as of a debt; an officially authorized period of waiting. AKA, an earthquake strikes, and you don't have insurance. The insurance company will have a moratorium of about six months in case you do want to buy insurance ex post facto - and there is another earthquake in those months. Or basically you don't have to pay at that moment. I guess it's kind of like moving April 15 to April 16.

dole: Money or goods given as charity; during the Great Depression, government relief programs; to be "on the dole" was to recieve such payments regularly. Things like what the salvation army does.

subsidy: A government grant of money to an individual or company for a purpose thought to benefit society. Such as goverment grants to research in medicine; finding a cure for cancer and/or AIDS would defineantly benefit society.

2.
Roosevelt was able to emphasize with the voters, and make them understand that he was doing so. The fact that he had been stricken with polio also showed that he was human, like them, and not invincible. He seemed to honestly want a new, better deal.

3.
The CCC focused mostly on state and national parks, the PWA was much more varied, ranging from schools to dams, improving highways, and planning sewage systems.

4.
Instead of being viewed in such a positive light, his public image would have likely dropped. However, many recent presidents don't always address issues they've promised - at the very least, not enough to shut up the media. 

-Section 2-

1.
unionization: The orginization of the workers in a particular industry into unions. Pretty self explanitory, if you know what ization means; immunization, making immune. Organization, making organized. Unionization, making union. 

demagogue: A leader who gains power by appealing to the people's emotions and prejudices. Hitler in WWII, finding a scapegoat.

2.
"The New Deal had taken too long to accomplish too little." That and the fact he seemed to be interfering with private business. They claimed he was leading the nation towards socialism, not to mention the bureacracy he had created (Bureacracy EVIL!)

3.
The Second New Deal expanded relief, aided recovery, and pushed for new reforms.

4.
Comking from different backgrounds and having different things to worry about, obviously their views would differ on who should get AAA. Each would want more than they would be given, accusing the other of hogging more than they needed.

-Section 3-

1.
descrimination: The denial of rights because of someone's race, religion, age, sex, or other quality. No blacks allowed...we won't hire you because you're too old...you're a man? Sorry, no soup for you.

federal regulation: Control by the federal government rather than by private interests. Such as the way the post office is run. 

2.
The PWA allocated funds for African American buildies, the WPA gave jobs, and the FERA (among others) granted aid to 30 percent of all African American families.

3.
Economic welfare of individuals, the health of the nation's economy at large.

4.
Women were gaining strength in the 1930's, and what they gained then has allowed women today to be strong(er).
