introduction
Our group's topic relates to the theme beacsue the media's involvement in Watergate relates to the turning points of events because after the scandal was uncovered, they changed several laws and added a few as well.This topic is important to history because it changed the way that the public views people in leadership roles. Watergate is also important to history because it reflects the state of our country and the way those who are politically inclined handle the government. In relation to this year's National History Day theme, Turning points in History, People, Places, and Events, Watergate altered the influence that our nation's president has on the people today. We view them from a different perspective than what we did then. The laws were also changed in result of the Watergate scandal; the freedom of information act was passed in order to allow people to know what was going on. No longer did such files exist for the president's eyes only; every document that belonged to the president's was the people's. -how did the events (social, economic, political and cultural aspects)of my topics time period infulence history
Economically, the nation was not suffering during the time of the Vietnam War, however Richard Nixon admitted that his biggest mistake during his political career was not bombing Vietnam and preventing the war. Socially, Richard Nixon and his accomplices were either imprisoned or confined for their wrongdoings, some for life.
