Babo, acting as the leader of the revolt, ordered the brutal slaying of any non useful sailors. The blacks aboard the ship become the masters to the remaining Spaniards. Babo begins to use many of the same actions a white slave owner would do to a black slave. Melville shows “this slavery breeds ugly passions in man” (Melville 77). Since slavery in itself is evil, it can be argued that the “evil” actions of someone while under the direct effects of slavery can be justified.
This pie chart can be similar to the Haitian Revolution because the Haitian slaves revolted against their masters because of bad treatment which was a social condition of this revolution. The political cartoon shows that despite the first and second estates power they were scared of the third estate because they were overly outnumbered (Doc. 3). This document also lead to the French Revolution, and also can be compared to the Haitian Revolution. It can be related to the Haitian Revolution because the masters of the slaves and political figures were scared to get overthrown by the slaves, they also treated them harshly, and they arrested Toussaint L'Ouverture who was the leader of the revolt and freed slaves.
These methods affected the productivity and profitability of production. Slaves sabotaged the planters by destroying as many tools, crops and animals as they could. Meanwhile they lingered whilst overseers were not paying attention and deliberately worked at a sub standard pace. However the fiercest effort to overthrow slavery and the one that the planters feared the most was revolt. Slaves revolted by burning estates and buildings, destroying machinery and attacking the planters and overseers.
Essentially he is cautioning John that the power of corruption can take over any man. I believe in that point in time, both the white and black South African’s hated one another because of a malicious circle of inequality. The black population was often persecuted and disrespected and left uneducated and under waged by the minority white population. Racism and inequality was what sparked the black population to resort to crime. Patton depicts the cruel reality of crime and hatred in South Africa through Absolam and his trial.
“The genocide was calculated to exterminate them; the hateful vitriol used against the Tutsi in the press and on radio broadcasts illustrated this thought process” (citation 1). Because Hutu people were not educated enough, they did not have independent thought and followed the instructions from their leaders. They became crazy to kill Tutsi people in revenge for the long-time conflicts and venom. Their deference to government and blindness
Some of these groups and people included ‘Malcolm X’, Rosa Parks, and ‘The Black Panthers’. Malcolm X saw King’s campaign as trying to persuade the African American citizens to forget the days of slavery, and forget what the white men had done to their people. His stance was passive/aggressive and wanted equality by any means, including violence. Malcolm X was assassinated by a white supremacist during a speech and died of bullet wounds. Also, ‘The Black Panthers’ were a very violent group and saw King’s campaign as time consuming and feared it being forgotten in the process.
All in all, Caesar’s failure is the limitation of age and ruling class. In the slave society, everything round the interests of slave owner. When new policies damaged the interests of slave owner, the reform was against and failed. The failure is inevitable. Therefore if I were Julius Caesar, after I won the civil war, I would use every means to kill those who did not agree with my thoughts, and consolidate my position in the country.
However, behind this facade Mobutu in a brutal bid to keep his power executed rivals, detained plotters and lured back exiled rebels to kill and torture them. Butcher also created an outfit for Mobutu’s doppelganger “with his leopard skin hat” showing the two very different personalities of Mobutu and his showmanship. Mobutu used his charm and promises to gain the most influential position as the Congo’s leader; the power he received corrupted him bringing out the darkness within him and led to the Congo and its people being worse off “his showmanship could not disguise the corrosive effect his rule had”. Butcher actually references this similarity between Mobutu and Kurtz quoting Mobutu when he
The amount of bullying and violence during the apartheid and the 1930’s was large toward the British from the Afrikaners and vice versa racial segregation occurring was fuelled by the hatred of the other race during this period. The main idea of the Urinating Scene is to show how the Afrikaners felt about the British people during the early/mid 1900’s. The cultural significance of the scene is about how the people of the two different cultures cannot see eye to eye because of the propaganda that has been relayed to them, and that the British are evil because they killed Afrikaners and conquered South Africa. The Historical significance is about one of the most significant events of racial unity in the modern world we see today. Avildsen uses the visual techniques low angle wide shot to effectively portray the bullying occurring between the Afrikaners and the British.
Bad qualities tend to destroy communities and destroy others as well. Hatred is one of the bad qualities people have. Anger can quickly overcome people, plus it can cause violent thoughts and acts. “This, by his voice, should be a Montague Fetch me my rapier, boy. What dares the slave Come hither, cover’d with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity?
