It is not acceptable to go beyond legal, moral, and/or ethical boundaries when the nation is at a risky time of war, but only on certain conditions. Some issues discussing this are the neutralism of U.S., the Executive Order #9066 declared by FDR, and the decision to drop the bomb. These issues greatly impacted America’s standing in the world and history immensely. It was recorded into history for the mistakes that we did and the damage we caused. The U.S. struggled with each issue and did what they thought was right, even if damage was caused.
Contrary to popular belief, you can criticise someone of another race without being racist. Booing Adam Goodes is not racist, it’s part of sport. The booing of Adam Goodes has a simple explanation. You boo someone you don’t like, and you cheer someone you do like, that’s how sport works. Now days people see too far into issues and it simply just becomes an issue of wether it is politically correct or not.
Martin Luther King’s main principle was non-violence; he refused to use aggression as a force to get what he wanted. He developed this technique after following the works of Ghandi, who had successfully used the same tactic in India. This tactic encouraged sympathy for the Black people from the rest of the world, as it promoted the inequalities that were around at the time, which shocked countries as America was supposed to be one of the more developed countries in the world, and its reputation as a free nation was severely damaged by the allegations that it was a racist country, and in the cold war Russians actually used this against them during the Americans campaign to liberate Russia from communism. King was very important during the Montgomery bus boycott as he organised it. It took a very charismatic and influential figure to organise this and keep it going for a whole year, as it was very inconvenient for black people at the time.
“Unsung Heroes” follows the same line of thought. It enumerates explicitly false heroes that are often found among former US presidents and military people. Zinn reminds us of the crimes each of them has committed. He suggests that these undue idols be taken off their pedestals and be replaced by real heroes, people who have sacrificed something to make a change, even if it was a small one. Being a war-opponent and social activist, Howard Zinn’s most likely intention in writing “Unsung Heroes” was to educate people about the mistakes (and deliberate lies) that are, in his opinion, very common in the perception of American history.
There is nothing wrong with expressing your opinion on television about a particular issue, but acting out in a racially hateful way is absolutely wrong. If a person wants to express his/her opinion about anything, they may do so, but they need to remember the feelings how people will react to their racially hate words. . Everybody is entitled to their own opinions. Should there be a limit to what you express?
One major mistake that block make in his argument that he gives so many example of the same type of concept he doesn’t use any form of logos to help us and to sway us into accepting his point of view. He mainly concentrates his argument through the use of ethos and pathos, both of which are strong tools to persuade the reader into accepting his point of view. If he were to use some kind of statistic showing how other people felt about these cartoons or if they agreed with him his argument would have become much more
This method also allows them to operate purely within the civil population. In theory, law enforcement is a reactive force, whereas if no law is violated then there is nothing to enforce. Therefore, law enforcement cannot react or have any power until laws are broken. Throw into the mix foreign terrorists on U.S. soil and things are further complicated by jurisdiction, when and where terrorists will be tried, whether or not
Prejudice is incurred by the hate we feel towards people whose customs and behaviour differ from our own; the fear of the unknown is the basis of all prejudice. Words are only powerful if we give them meaning, therefore, prejudice and racism are only powerful if society defines the fuel of racism. When Atticus states, “It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person it, it doesn’t hurt you,” (Page 108, Lee) it exemplifies his refusal to put stock in derogatory slang because he knows that only uneducated people would use such language whilst discussing the behaviour of another human being. Atticus told Scout and Jem that being called a “nigger-lover” does not matter because it has no meaning to Atticus.
29 'Violence can do nothing to diminish race prejudice' In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting 5 fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favour of violence - as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realisation that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual 10 progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged.
New Zealand automatically tolerates any race or culture whereas Germany discriminated against anyone not of the Aryan race. Germany persecuted against the Jews, disabled, gypsies, homosexuals, the insane, prostitutes, beggars, the homeless and pretty much any other minority, as he thought they could infect his so called perfect race, whereas New Zealand would never even dream of doing anything like that. This shows that whilst New Zealand is accepting and fair to everyone, Germany was far from it, in fact it was quite the opposite. This all seems so strange to me, that both types of governments could be so different, and Germany so
