Salem Witch Trials Samuel Parris

Salem Witch Trials Witch Hunt
1,371 wordsIn his article, Why I Wrote The Crucible, Arthur Miller speaks of the 1950 s which nobody seems to remember clearly- a time of fearful insanity and unrest. Anyone could be accused.

As Miller describes Hitler as being almost comical to his generation, the modern generation sees the Salem witch trials as foolish scuffles be...

Mccarthy Vs Salem Witch Trials
1,530 wordsOften times it has been stated that history repeats itself, I have found an example of a situation where it did. Lots of people think that the McCarthy hearings of the 1950 s are a repeat of history from the Salem witch-hunts of 1692. In both cases, all of the accusations were false, and also fictitious. Also in both cases, the main reason people were blamed was so that ones who were condemning would receive their own personal gain. In both parties, McCarthy and the girls, they accused people to...

Women have grown to accept, not without resentment though, the male-dominated atmosphere of the world.
