ACT - Persuasive essay

Anti - Communism

To create Hysteria the way Senator McCarthy did was wrong , specially when McCarthy had no valid facts whatsoever to support his accusations.
The Senator scared the people for no real reason because he thought he was doing something good for the country.

When McCarthy started to accuse members of the U.S State department created huge uproar in the country. McCarthy only had groundless information and during the whole time he was searching for information so he would have something in his arguments. Which is very unprofessional thing to do. These accusations gave McCarthy a lot of attention, but only negative since it was causing a lot of worries among the people.

Also to truly prove that McCarty's accusations are false, the Tydings committee started investigations on all the people in the U.S State dep. and also people outside the department that weren't accused just to prove the point.
The result, everyone were innocent. No one of them were communists as McCarthy assumed.
Which really proved the falseness of the accusations made by McCarthy.

That McCarthy assumed that no one believed what he was saying because of "Lack of morals" is understandable we have all witnessed it earlier.
However, this was not the case this time.
That was very clear after the investigations.

Because of this, hysteria was created. People become extremely nervous and worried for something McCarthy had made up in his mind. It was unnecessary, and nothing was gained from it except for everyone to learn how some people act upon their feelings.
