In the first video on this essay, we talked about general strategy for how to approach the essay.발음듣기
대기중
The question we've decided to answer is "Some historians have argued that the New Deal was ultimately conservative in nature."발음듣기
대기중
"Support, modify, or refute this interpretation, providing specific evidence to justify your answer."발음듣기
대기중
So, we've come to the conclusion that there are three different ways we could go with answering this question.발음듣기
대기중
So, we then took the opportunity to just brainstorm things that we might bring up in an essay like that.발음듣기
대기중
We recall that the New Deal was this series of programs implemented by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his administration, to try to combat the Great Depression.발음듣기
대기중
It contained a real alphabet soup of agencies which aimed at trying to get work to Americans.발음듣기
대기중
Partly because the Supreme Court rolled back some of its agencies as being unconstitutional.발음듣기
대기중
And partly because, it was actually World War II that got the United States out of the Great Depression.발음듣기
대기중
Let's take a minute an just pin-point some of the themes that have come up as we've brainstormed these possible pieces of evidence.발음듣기
대기중
We're always wondering how did things affect people who were White differently than people who were Black?발음듣기
대기중
It's just a really useful way of thinking about how benefits in American society might not necessarily accrue to everyone.발음듣기
대기중
Now, let's ask ourselves, whether in each of these themes, the New Deal was something that was radical or something that was conservative?발음듣기
대기중
Well, I think there's a good argument to be made that government was conservative in this time period.발음듣기
대기중
So, there's still a commitment in the New Deal to keeping the governmental system of democracy alive.발음듣기
대기중
Even though the economy has tanked, no one has said, "Well, this is a clear example that democracy doesn't work."발음듣기
대기중
There is just a completely new level of intervention in the economy by the government that you could say is completely radical.발음듣기
대기중
Well, I think there's a good argument to be made that the New Deal was conservative in the economy.발음듣기
대기중
Just like the United States decided that they weren't going to give up democracy, they weren't going to give up the system of capitalism itself.발음듣기
대기중
The New Deal instead, with things like, the NRA, or maybe social security, was instead designed to sure up capitalism.발음듣기
대기중
There's a complete re-write of how the United States thinks about what the role of government in the economy is.발음듣기
대기중
Because very few people think of the 1930s as this major turning-point for civil rights for African-Americans, or any other group.발음듣기
대기중
In most cases, the economic pressure of the Great Depression meant that many people who are minorities, many women actually lost their jobs because of a racist idea that White men were more deserving of those jobs.발음듣기
대기중
On the flip side, you might talk about the opportunity that the Great Depression gave to talk about real economic disparities between Whites and other races.발음듣기
대기중
You might even say Eleanor Roosevelt in this time period was an essential advocate for civil rights.발음듣기
대기중
Especially, making sure that the benefits of the New Deal trickled down in whatever way they could to minorities.발음듣기
대기중
And that the New Deal itself was not intended to separate African-Americans and Whites in jobs, in its benefits.발음듣기
대기중
It was mostly administrators at the local level who might have prevented African-Americans from reaping those benefits.발음듣기
대기중
I think this is a really important one because the New Deal is all about the relationship between the rich and the poor.발음듣기
대기중
I think one thing that the New Deal does that is very revolutionary, I know I'm flipping the order here, is it really makes people question the idea that wealth is earned completely without relationship to one's status in life.발음듣기
대기중
Right. In the period of the Gilded Age, many people said things like, "Oh well, the wealthy people, the White people, they are in a better position in life because they're more deserving."발음듣기
대기중
And then, the Great Depression which affects so many people really makes people re-think this idea that wealth and status are connected to one's personal worth.발음듣기
대기중
So you can say it really up-ends this idea of social Darwinism that the fittest, the best in society are the ones who are prospering.발음듣기
대기중
But you can also say that in terms of class, once again, the New Deal was nothing like the revolution in Russia.발음듣기
대기중
In terms of women's lives in the New Deal, you might say that things for women might even have been worse in this time period than in the 1920s.발음듣기
대기중
On the radical side, you could say that the New Deal opened up many new positions for women in the federal government.발음듣기
대기중
For example, Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed Francis Perkins, the first ever cabinet secretary who was a woman.발음듣기
대기중
And the fact is, either way you argue this or even if you choose to go this route of modifying or saying either or both, radical and conservative.발음듣기
대기중
So, at this point, you just have to decide which way you want to write about, and then marshal your evidence for your essay.발음듣기
