What contributed to the decline in union power and membership?
a.
a belief that “big labor” had become corrupt, fueled by republican rhetoric.

b.
automation and relocation of manufacturing plants.

c.
racism in the working class combined with a lack of political support for unions as democrats began to think that individual failure rather than systemic failure led to poverty.

d.
all of the above.

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
