TASK:Causes & Consequences Causes Event Consequences 99% black – 1% Jewish People injured, and killed Man was stopped for erratic driving Property damage $35,000,000 Watts Riots 1965 His brother and mother was brought into the scene Lasted for 6 days in 1965 Traffic stops weren’t common in that part of town Troops were sent from around USA The 3 accused were arrested 4,000 people arrested The man stopped was intoxicated 34 people killed (28 black) People rioted because the police officer arrested them Riots Began
TASK:Copy-&-Paste the causes from the previous into the two groups below; Long-Term Causes Short-Term Causes They didn’t have enough facilities to keep them out of trouble Traffic stops weren’t common in that part of town His brother and mother was brought into the scene People rioted because the police officer arrested them 99% black – 1% Jewish Man was stopped for erratic driving The 3 accused were arrested The man stopped was intoxicated TIME
TASK:Which are more important; short-term or long-term causes? Explain why. Answer… We think short term causes because if the short term cause didn’t happen, then the rioting would not have happened.But because of the facts it shows as a long term cause that 99% were black – they didn’t care about them to keep them out of trouble, so that has happened before the short term cause, but if they didn’t have the short term cause, they would not have had the chance to riot.
