Authors

Wander, PhilipC.

Abstract

The article focuses on ideology and how it has effected U.S. political policy since the 1960s. The author discusses the protests that were numerous during the Vietnam War and notes how fewer mass protests were staged during the Iraq War and during U.S. conflicts with Afghanistan. The idea of rhetorical contextualization is discussed, including how the public's reaction to conflicts are determined by the current political climate in addition to their own ideological beliefs. How the idea of justice within the U.S. has changed is detailed.
