I believe President’s Johnson Great Society was very beneficial for the American in many aspects for example it affected the economy and overall society. It change unemployment rates and behavior in the work place. Other ares were also drastically changed for the better of the American people’s welfare: treatment of minorities, education, technology etc.
The main goals of President Johnson’s Great Society were, to annihilate poverty and racism (mainly towards African- Americans but also included different minorities). From Johnson’s Great Society programs targeted problems in urban cities, trying to educate citizens better, even medical care, work forces, technology and transportation. many programs and laws were created during his presidency because of the Great Society. For example some of these topics addressed and programs and laws formed were, Medicare, civil liberties Labor rights, ethical conservation, Civil Rights Movement, Fair Housing Act etc.
Even though Lyndon Johnson’s presidency began when the cause of Vietnam were forming, Johnson helped the society for the American citizens become better overall. Johnson helped decrease unemployment rate and the numbers of families incomes increased annually. Johnson helped to improve African American’s lives by creating equality in restuarants and all public places.
