Hi this is Samantha from 9th period 20th Century Class.

For the Tuskegee Airmen project that my group and I did for our 20th Century History Class, we choose to do a power point.  My job in the project was to choose a question and answer it.  This was important because my group and I had to pick one question to answer for the power point and answer it completely.  If I didn’t have my question answered, we wouldn’t have the whole projected done and wouldn’t get the grade we should be getting.  It didnt take me long to anwser my question that I had.  I watched the movie and paid attention, so a lot of the information came from the movie, but I also read about the Tuskegee Airmen on the interenet and I know that those men went through a lot of trouble fighting for what they believed in.  It took a long time to change the attitude of most Americans, but the Tuskegee Airmen played a big role in doing that.

Hello, This is Jenea M. and Jesse G.from Mr. Sals and Ms. Beyers 1st period 20th Century Class.

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of aspiring pilots, who came to the Tuskegee Airbase to begin training to become fighter pilots in the war.  During the training they were discriminated against for being African Americans.  The white pilots thought that they were insufficient compared to themselves.  These pilots in training were put to tough tests, flight school, and manuverability test in the airplanes.  After getting their pilots license, they started scouting and doing ground patrol runs.

The white airmen didnt want to share the same space as the African Americans because they thought they were not good enough to fight in the war.  Unbeknownst to their knowledge that they actually needed the African American pilots to help escort the bomber planes so they wouldnt lose their men to the opposing enemy planes.  They needed them because they were better than what some white pilots and captains predicted.

The preception that the Tuskegee Airmen had changed was that colored men were just as good as the white men, if not better. They could fly and fight and bring down the enemy jusy as well as the white pilots could. They proved that everyone can do whatever they want no matter what color their skin was.

Hi…it’s Brandon L. from the 9th period 20th Century History Class.

I picked a blog because it was one of the easiest ways for me to complete the assignment and I can get a lot of it done over the internet.   I use the internet as a resource all the time.

What I found interesting about the Tuskegee airmen assignment was that, first of all, we got to watch a good movie about them and I really liked watching it during class.  The Tuskegee Airmen were all in it together and they flew planes through the sky and shot down the enemy airplanes  so they can protect the bombers from the enemy.  Before they were allowed to fly, they had to go through training, which was really hard on them.  None of the white officers had faith in them.  They were prejudice against them.  They made them work harder than anyone else in the service, but the Tuskegee Airmen did it anyway.  The reason they stuck with it was because they wanted to fight for their freedom–the freedom of their country and the freedom of their own people.  They were sick of being treated unfairly and they thought if they could be successful, this would prove to everyone that they were just as good as the white people.  In the end, some people died, but the Tuskegee Airmen were successful, because they flew their missions without ever losing one bomber to the enemy.  They also proved that they were just as good as the white people and the white guys even started to request them for their missions.

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African American’s who were the first to become pilots in the military. On April 3, 1939, Public Law 18 was passed which aloud the Army Air Corps to become larger. This law aloud African Americans to do more with their military careers. On January 16, 1941 the War Department announced the 99th Pursuit Squadron. This was an all black flying unit where they trained at Tuskegee Institute located in Tuskegee, Alabama. Charles A. Anderson taught himself how to fly on his own, an created a training program at the Institute in 1939. From 1941 to 1946, over 2,000 African Americans completed the training at the institute. Over half of those men were qualified as pilots. They were soon known to be named the Tuskegee Airmen. During the war, the 99th Pursuit Squadron flew over the Mediterranean and Europe as bomber escorts. The airmen never losted a bomber to enemy fighters. The Tuskegee Airmen changed the belief that African Americans couldn’t be responsible for military service. They played a huge part in the military that it is now.

Hello, my name is Amanda K, in Mr. Sal’s period 3. Negitive externalities is something that causes problems for third parties. For example, gases that cause thinning of the ozone layer or somke that causes acid rain. This is not just effecting one person, but everyone. Therefore, restriction are created by the govrnment to reduce or band certain thing that go into some things that we buy, like aerosol cans, or require a company to filter out smoke before it is released. Positive externalities is something that is beificial to you and others. For example, by getting the flu shot, you are protecting yourself form the posiblity of catching the virus as well as spreading it to others. Citizens that are beter educated are also beifit others because less crime is likely to happen if people can go out and get job. The govrnment tries to encourage you getting an education by providing posibilities to. I believe that the govrnment can control the amount of both positive and negitive externalities by keeping up restrictions and providing ways that allow citizens to benifit themselves and other.

hi my name is chyenne and i am in Mr. Sal’s period 3 pod class. hte negative exertnalities in the passage would be if they were to approve the oil drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge, this would the society greatly especially the animals they would not be able to survive. And a positive externalities would be the benifit of this giving us more oil for gas and this would reduce the gas prices.

Positive Externalities are by products of production that benefits third parties neither buyers nor sellers. Negative Externalities are by products of consumption or production that benefits third parties, who are not buyers or sellers. The government intervenes because they need to keep everything regulated and organized. If they did not intervene then many people would buy or sell product, how every many and when ever they felt like it. The economy would be changed and wouldn’t be organized.

I am Andrew W. an I am in period three economics. The question is what are negative externalities and positive externalities, and why does government intervene to regulate them? The negative externalities would be that the government is using our tax-payers money to support the oil drilling process in the Artic National Wildlife Refugee only to harm the wildlife as a democrat would see, but also to raise the oil prices on the new shipments of oil that come in therefore taking even more of the money that the tax payers already put forth unknowingly. In this situation the government would only intervene to regulate them for the wildlife, yet i say why intervene? Since troops were killed when we took oil from Iraq in the recent war. The positive externalitie that i read up on was allowing the production rate of the student mind to conquer more barriers in the life they would soon begin after school, since the government started providing free primary and secondary education. Then allowing requiring students to stay in school until the age of 16. The government regulates this by thinking about the future of the children today. All together i find most opinions made by the U.S. government are right since this is my country and i stand for my country.

Hi my name is Kaitlyn M. and I am in Sal’s period three POD class. An example of a positive externality is when people get a vaccine for a certain disease that they are prone to get so that later in their life they will most likely not be able to get the disease. One way the government is trying to help is by increasing the level of production beyond what would be chosen privately. An example of a negative externality is the use of hairspray. They say that using hairspray breaks done the ozone layer, and that also is the layer that protects humans from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. One way the government is trying to intervene with this negative externality is by outlawing the aerosol cans. I think the governemnt can really help if they fully set their minds to it and make it happen.
