New Deal Argumentative Analysis

What are contrasting perspectives of actions? Robert Collier describes opposing views as “One might as well try to ride two horse moving in different directions, as to try to maintain in equal force two opposing or contradictory set of desires.” These actions that America takes to form a better nation, since the reconstruction era until the present day, results in two different reactions: one against and the other one in support. For example, opposing views appear in the New Deal. The New Deal meant to help Americans during the Great Depression had supporters as well as opponents.
