The decisions an events of the past in the United States has impacted and molded everything that we deal with today. With that said one could gather that the events and decisions made in the present time will be what the future generations will be studying and coping with in years to come. While there would be numerous things that happen I believe that future American History students would be read about events such as, The scandals of Clinton Presidency, The United States war with Iraq, and terrorist attacks on the September 11, 2002. The years to come hold much uncertainty and raise many questions. While the US is currently the super power of the world will we have the ablity to remain one or be diminished and if we were to lose that status who would take our place. The economic, social, and political structure would evolve over time. What would these structure's be comprised of The standard of living today in some ways are the same but over all very different for out past . So what standard of living would the future hold? Finally, in the present time we get to see the positive and negative reactions from the decisions made by our forefathers what could we do today to help ensure a favorable history for the next generation? .
Three major events in past few years were the scandals of the Clinton presidency, the terrorist attacks on September 11 2002, and the War with Iraq. I feel that each of these would be carried onto the history books of the future because of their impact on the American society. President Clinton spent two terms in the office and just like many of his predecessors his second term was filled with scandals that nearly got him impeached. The Monica Lewinsky affair and the trail that followed caused the House of Representatives to recommend impeachment on the grounds of perjury, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering (Davidson, Gienap, Et. Al 979).
