When looking at the democratization of a nation, India and South Korea share a lot of similarities. South Korea was occupied and governed by Japan pre WWII and India was ruled by Britain colonialism. Looking at Mill’s method of difference, there is one distinct variable that differentiates the states in their ascent to democratization. After WWII India was given its sovereignty by British rule in return for their military aid in the war against Japan, where as when Korea was not. After Korea was free from Japanese colonialism due to their loss in the second WWII the US military eliminated the left wing government.
“To develop their critical thinking skills!!! Hat tip Atlas Shrugs I am croiss-posting this story direct from Atlas Shrugs because Pam Geller says it quite well. In the Rialto, California School District, students are being assigned to write an essay arguing whether the Holocaust actually happened or was invented to “influence public emotion and gain”. http://pamelageller.com/2014/05/california-school-district-defends-writing-assignment-confirming-denying-holocaust.html/ First of all, even Germany admits to the Holocaust and educates its younger generations about what happened-at least since the late 1960s when their younger generation started asking questions of their parents and demanding answers. Of course, that was in West Germany.
UCOR 101 Thinking and Writing made me come to the realization that writing papers for college is completely different than writing for high school level classes. Throughout high school the effort I put forth was not near the amount of effort that is required for college classes. I would write a paper the night before it was due and hand it in and get a good grade without any negative comments from my teachers. Unfortunately I carried this bad habit over into college. My UCOR 101 teacher scrutinized the first paper that I wrote and he could tell it was written the night before and even referred to it as a high school paper.
The Counterculture obviously relates to Kesey theory of drugs being the key to an individual liberation. When Kesey was in the process of writing the novel One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest the Korean War was still a fresh memory, and then in shock came World War II after. According to Kesey war can cause trauma to patients. Following the daily beast article many of the patients in the nove One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest suffered from war trauma. For example, “Old Colonel Matterson thinks he’s still in World War I, Billy Bibbit suffered a breakdown in ROTC training when he couldn’t answer the drill officer’s command without stuttering, and McMurphy, who received a dishonorable discharge in the Korean War for insubordination” (American Dreams).
For a class assignment at Morehouse College, Dr. King was introduced to Thoreau’s work “Civil Disobedience.” From this influential work, Dr. King, for the first time, learned of the theory of passive resistance. Thoreau argued that the smallest minority, even just “one honest man,” could start a moral revolution. However, Dr. King was still unsure how to implement this theory until he was a student at Boston University. There, he heard Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson’s lecture on the life of Mahatma Gandhi. Afterward Dr. King said, “The message was so profound and electrifying that I left the meeting and bought a half-dozen books on Gandhi’s life and works.” He spent hours studying and reading Gandhi’s works and found that Gandhi was also inspired by Thoreau’s “Civil
