jan 1, 1970 - Vietnam war effect on Individual Rights
Description:
Most Americans were uninterested in the international promotion of individual human rights until the 1970's... why?
The Vietnam war was very shameful and humiliating for the US. If America was different and had good moral, how could anyone explain the Vietnam war. It was decided to be aggressively cruel and unsuccessful.
‘‘served not as a means of coming to terms with the Vietnam War but as a means of moving past it. Human rights became a way to heal the country by taming the legacy of Vietnam’’
