At the beginning of the video, people are asked to describe hanford in one word. they choose words such as change, massive, employment, controversial, energy, money pit, impossible, and unsafe. the narrator states that "maybe the best word is: complex.” is complex the right word to describe the site? why or why not?

Complex would be a good work to describe the events at Hanford. While the examples of one worded answers given are good candidates, all of them are actually accurate. So for that reason, it makes it the answer complex, both literally and descriptively. The historical even had great benefits to its development, as it gave us more insight to future developments, and employed a great many people. However, the reverse is true, as it did have some serious side effects to the surrounding area and people. So there really is no better word to describe both sides other than "complex" or something similar.

Explanation:

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.

in 1803 the louisiana purchase took place, doubling the size of the country. by 1840 almost 7 million americans had migrated westward in hopes of securing land and being prosperous. the belief that settlers were destined to expand to the west is often referred to as manifest destiny.
