2. Review the list of events below. All occurred during the 1960s and 1970s and all helped shape the future of the United States. Choose the three events that had the greatest long-term impact on the United States. Explain why you chose each of the three. • Cuban Missile Crisis • Vietnam War • development of the counterculture • assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Kennedy • antiwar movement • Watergate • opening of relations with communist China

The difficult political and social climate that the United States was going through, both in external relations and in its internal organization, led to one of the most notable revolutions in the country and in the entire world. The conflict of the Vietnam War raised suspicions in many North American citizens, who, after the two world wars, were not clear about the purpose of another war that, they claimed, would only bring suffering. On the other hand, there were new protests by the African-American population in the country and led by Martin Luther King Jr. in the movement for civil rights for African-Americans. All this was gradually consolidated after the shock caused in the American society by the murders of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King

Explanation:

This beginning of the decade is representative of a period that would be characterized by international confrontations and protests by an increasingly critical citizenry with the actions of its rulers and the situation that was taking shape in the world after the post-war economic recovery: protest movements against the Vietnam war; against the invasion of the Soviet troops in Czechoslovakia, in the Prague Spring; in May '68 against the established order, during the student and union revolts that began in France and spread rapidly to other countries. The sociocultural effects of these protest movements are still being felt today. It is also a decade in which a large number of political assassinations occur, an example of which is the deaths of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy.

part a. there were 250 teenagers surveyed (100% of tenagers = 250)therefore 1 % = 250/100 = 2.5 76% = 1% x 76 = 2.5 x 76 = 190 teenagers of the 250 surveyed liked burgerspart b: jane surveyed 25% (which is equal to 50 teenagers, i.e. a quarter of the teenagers surveyed is 50) to get 100% we simply get 4 quarters, i.e. multiply 50 by 4 = 200 teenagers were surveyed by jane. part c: it is impossible to give an example where a percentage is greater than 100%, since, by definition , percentage means "per 100".
