Valentine's day is changing in Modern day Americans

Historically Incorrect Canoodling

By STEPHANIE COONTZ

Romance is a great and powerful thing like love. Isn't that what marriage is. I think you need to love someone in order to have a strong marriage.

Valentine's Day was created by the Roman Catholic Church to limit on sexual passion. Today marriage has been change from back then. They're so many hurried marriages and divorces. In my eyes marriage has been demoralized and almost makes me not want to be married. Marriage is still a sign of love, unity and trust.

Even though marriage isn't the number one thing on my mind; when I love someone I might marry them. I still feel the same way I felt before about marriage; even after reading this article. Marriage to people today is still one of the number one things to a person's life.

"During the Middle Ages they gradually adopted Valentine as the patron saint of romance - and symbol of its all too frequent tragic ending." For some people in the Middle Ages held marriage as something to great to get from Valentine Day. 

My mother and father were together from the ages 13-30 years old. They got married when my mom was 22 and dad 24 years old. They were happily married, but like almost every other marriage in 21st century they got divorced. This is why I feel is that I don't want to get married. They’re some so many flails in marriage. Having to share half of everything you own I’m not feeling that, but then if you have different bank accounts we both might come to an agreement on that. Even though were both going to give each other money still. Maybe I will change the way I feel about marriage and get married.

 

Missile Gone Wild in Cuba

The Cuban Missile Crisis

 By Anthony Depalma

The Soviet Union had secretly hidden nuclear missiles on Cuba aimed at America. In 1962 President John F. Kennedy let the public know that the Soviet Union was starting a nuclear war. A standoff between the U.S and the Soviet came to a 13-day wait. Kennedy knows if he didn't do something tens of thousands of innocent people would be killed. It would be difficult for Kennedy to remove the bomb without starting a war with the Soviet Union.

During World War II the U.S. and the Soviet Union had been allies. The Soviet Union triggered a change of friendship when they started setting up a Cold War.

President Kennedy handle this situation well by standing up to the Soviet Union. Why, I say this is because if the government didn't keep making nuclear bombs the Soviet Union would have bombed us first.

While the U.S. and Soviet Union were trying to launch a nuclear war U.S. and Soviet Union were trying to launch a nuclear war U.S. families built underground bomb shelters.

This article opened my eyes on how terrified the U.S. and Soviet Union were scared off each other. Why, I say this is because they both wasted so much money into making the bombs and never launched them.

This moment in history should be talked about in World History or Social Studies classes. So that the younger minds of our nation can have an understanding on this nuclear fight between the U.S and Soviet Union
