Conclusion+and+Bib

=Conclusion:= The fastest way to gain power is to grasp and manipulate peoples’ fear. McCarthy and the Red Guards exerted great influences on their own societies when there were great terrors: McCarthy skillfully used America’s anticommunism sentiment to bring more attention to himself; the Red Guards were lucky enough to stumble across China’s top leader’s apprehension for losing the “throne”. McCarthy and the Red Guards were also similar in their successes to stay in power. Both had concrete support; both had controlled the population at large with threat. Yet, the two were different in how they fell. McCarthy’s debacle was more caused by the realization of the general population, whereas the Red Guards’ downfall was more determined by Chairman Mao’s own decision. They were also different in their impacts on societies. McCarthy’s impact was more “well rounded” when compared to that of the Red Guards. American society was changed in fundamental ways both domestically and internationally, while the Chinese society suffered mostly on the aspect of education. However similar or different the two are, it is easy to see that they used the weakness of human nature and that it is crucial to the stability of human society to stop the rise of another McCarthy or another group of the Red Guards.
