Timeline Question
 * Do you think that scientific research and discovery might be in conflict with some values and ideals of the 1920's? Why or why not? Provide evidence from today's activities to support your response.**

- I believe that the study of evolution would be a huge problem in the 1920's. Some peolple would agree or disagree,proof is needed to prove a point or theory and if we dont have evidence then why should be believe the theory olf evolution.

Summary of day 1.

- I am for and against the theory of evolution. I am for it becuase i feel there was people or creatues before us and we evolved from another species, yet i feel there is not enough evidence to prove that evolution could even been discussed.

- I think that the problems in the 1920's still exist today, expecally the KKK. The KKK is still around today yet is more intense and involed in the concerpt of chrisianity.
