"explain how your concept or group contributed to an or influenced the events in vietnam from 1956-1975.

Just think about the role of the media in different events and how they influenced things ie.

Buddhist Burnings- photos of buddhist burnings influenced Kennedy's decisions.

Tet- images of man being shot in the street, girl burned with napalm, US embassy being attacked.... these images affected Johnson, he began to look for peace negotiations. They also changed us public opinion, led to anti-war movement growing... led to Nixon's election (peace with honor), vietnamization.

Just look at how the media protrayal of key events shaped opinions etc... that is how the media influenced events

it's interestign but the problem is, if you miss one tiny bit it can throw the rest off, then i always get to the point where i like go, hang on if that happened...how?? what led to that, it was either modern or legal..to drop that is.

Just smile write down stuff and things will be fine... that's my approach to modern history lol

also maybe look at My Lai - the way the media exposed the cover-up

 

[braindrainedAsh]

Yeah that's a good one... also look at how the media changed from supporting the war to condemning the war. Look at the Five O'Clock Follies too.
