fake? Why or Why not? Why do you think Kennedy wanted to

hurry and get to the moon? Why is the US flag and the moon so

significant? What do you think would happen if

NASA came forward and said it was fake?

JFK Johnson

Two men, Two visions…..

Kennedy: New Frontier A promise to improve economy, education,

healthcare, and civil rights.

Johnson: The Great Society Promise to used developed wealth to

continue a “great society”.

KENNEDY’S FRONTIER

Originally just a slogan

Developed into a label for his administration

We stand at the edge of a New Frontier—the frontier of unfulfilled hopes and dreams, a frontier of unknown opportunities and beliefs in peril. Beyond that frontier are uncharted areas of science and space, unsolved problems of peace and war, unconquered problems of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered questions of poverty and surplus.

What he wanted!

Economic Growth

National Defense

Space program

“Why would these things be important during this time? Please put examples in your notes”

How he did it

National Defense: example Cuban Missile Crisis

Space Program: example Moon Landing

Economy: example Steady economy

Johnson and the Great Society

Two main goals: Eliminate poverty and racial injustice Improve education and well being

“similar to FDR’s New Deal”

Plans initiated to help: Education, medical care and transportation.

“We are going to assemble the best thought and broadest knowledge from all over the world to find these answers. I intend to establish working groups to prepare a series of conferences and meetings—on the cities, on natural beauty, on the quality of education, and on other emerging challenges. From these studies, we will begin to set our course toward the Great Society.”[

Major issue was “Poverty”

Arts and Education

Why would education be so importantFor a Great Society?

Compare the two On your piece of paper: (you can use your

worksheets to help.)1. Compare and Contrast the two ideas. Use

specific details in a t-chart. Use what the two men had in mind for the US.

2. Next, you are elected into a society with no real game plan. You need to take the role as a leader using your imagination and develop a society that will flourish.

- Keep in mind policies that these two men used. At least one page hand written. (you can use a different piece of paper)
