Letter From A Birmingham Jail
723 Words - 3 Pages.... for supporting the mass protest of the white business, King stuck back with his eloquent Letter from the Birmingham Jail. As I read this letter two things struck me as being important.
The first, why could such a group, leaders in the community, would not take an active role to bring equality to a suppressed people. God knows no color, and it is the place of the church clergy to support a body fighting for basic human rights. The criticism, as I considered the source, pissed me off. Second, In Kings letter he states: Every day I meet young people whose disappointment with the church has turned to outright disgust.
I feel that King, in a way, saw the future. The chur ....

The Evolution Of The World
513 Words - 2 Pages.... had been more
than six hundred maps created, not one having this holy city as the
center. There was nothing new about putting "the most sacred place at
the center" says Boorstin. The Hindus placed Mount Meru, a mythological
70,000 foot high mountain at the center of their map. In the Muslim
faith, the Ka’bah in Mecca was the highest point on earth and the
polestar showed the city of Mecca to be opposite the center of the sky.
As one can clearly see, many maps, had different centers. Each map had a
different center, each based on a different religion.
Many years before the birth of Jesus Christ, the Greeks theorized that
the earth was a globe. But after that, the ....

J. Edgar Hoover
1380 Words - 6 Pages.... hysteria that led to the deportation of many aliens. Hoover was put in charge of the deportations. When Hoover became director of the Bureau in 1924, he quickly formed an elite force of powerful law enforcement officers. He enhanced the FBI’s fame by capturing many gangsters, bank robbers, and other lawbreakers. After World War II he waged a relentless fight against internal subversion. The 1970’s often criticized Hoover for his authoritarian methods. He died in Washington, D.C., on May 2, 1972. In the rest of the paper I will explain more in depth of how rose to power and why he is considered one of the most corrupt men to ever hold a government position. It is not ....

From Stalinism To Leninism
1739 Words - 7 Pages.... Leninism were either policies which Lenin had called for but never put into action, or logical continuations of Lenin's original principles, but modified to suit the demands of the time.
One of Stalin's main focuses was on the concept of "socialism in one country" - that is, the focus on the betterment exclusively of his own country rather than on the international communist revolution. "Socialism in one country" began with Lenin. In 1918 Lenin signed the Treaty of Brest-Livtosk, which pulled Russia out of WW1 and surrendered much of the Ukraine to Austria-Hungarian forces ("How Lenin Led to Stalin"). At this time, there was a revolutionary movement in the Ukraine composed ....

Utopia...Model Or Reality
1672 Words - 7 Pages.... of the work-to help avoid the problems associated with human nature. Individual human appetites are controlled and balanced against the needs of the community as a whole. In other words, More attempts to describe a society in which the seven deadly sins are counterbalanced by other motivations set up by the government and society as a whole. I believe that by providing the answer to the timeless question of overcoming man's inherent evils in such a way More creates a perfect society to be modeled after. Many of the ideals in More's Utopia are, as the name implies, based on ideal situations and not reality. They would work well in a civilization of automatons, but would ....

For Another Man's Freedom
527 Words - 2 Pages.... "rebirth" of America. The only problem with these thoughts
is that these were not the thoughts that were in the heads of the soldiers
at the time. During the fighting these soldiers not only did not see this
as the rebirth of a nation, but had "forgotten the cause" altogether. I do
not believe that these men were necessarily fighting specifically for the
rights of the slaves, but rather for the rights of all men including
themselves. These men were thought to be "privileged", and at the time I
am sure they believed that they were taking part in an inconceivable
historical event. I am sure that at that time they did not realize that
this would be an ongoing struggle eve ....

Henry Rollins
333 Words - 2 Pages.... a countless number of live concerts, Black Flag parted ways in late 1986.
Besides music, Rollins' only other real passion is writing. His poetry, short stories, diary entries and essays attack fascism, ignorance and injustice while exploring human thought and behavior. Publishers Weekly described his work as existing at "the frayed edges where reality ends and imagination begins". He has over a dozen books in print, some of which include, Get in the Van: On the road with Black Flag, Black Coffee Blues, Solipsist and Art to Choke Hearts. He also runs his own publishing company, 2.13.61 Publications, which puts out his and several other authors work.

Labor And Unions In America
4933 Words - 18 Pages.... The great majority of them would not. They believed that sooner or later factory workers would be exploited and would sink into hopeless poverty. Economic "laws" would force them to work harder and harder for less and less pay.
THE LOWELL EXPERIMENT
How, then, were the factory owners able to recruit farm girls as laborers? They did it by building decent houses in which the girls could live. These houses were supervised by older women who made sure that the girls lived by strict moral standards. The girls were encouraged to go to church, to read, to write and to attend lectures. They saved part of their earnings to help their families at home or to use when they got marr ....
