It is an odd question to me.
McCarthyism is the politically motivated practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence.
I wonder how that can be appropriate for any time in a free society. We expect such things in China, and Burma.
The question implies it might be inappropriate for the time in which it occurred. That is most odd to me.
o Explain how McCarthyism affected the lives and political thinking of people in the U.S.
o Defend McCarthyism as appropriate or criticize it as inappropriate for the time in which it occurred.
