I’ll start off with General Strain theory, it states that strain can be caused by failure to achieve positively valued stimuli, the loss of positively valued stimuli, and presentation of negative stimuli. In Compelled to Crime, the African American battered women were overwhelmed with strain, in response they acted out by committing an array of different crimes. The reasoning behind this could be because of their low levels of social support. The African American battered women did not have a lot of support; they were most of the time cut off from their families and friends. Another example of how strain applies to these women can be seen in Agnew’s writings when he said “Data suggest that child abuse and neglect negative school experiences, chronic unemployment, and residence in deprived communities are important causes sate anger and that such anger explains much of the effective of strains on crime.” (Agnew, Chp.
Angry whites in the South during this period of time would go to any measure to satisfy their hate for an individual of a different race. Rosaleen really changes during this trial; she becomes bitter towards whites, even towards Lily, whom she is close to. Continuing on page 52 Rosaleen learns about the black Madonna. “If Jesus’ mother is black, how come we only know about the white Mary?” The quote is what Rosaleen was thinking when she saw the picture Lily had found in her mother’s items. This is not just a picture of a black version of Mary; it is a picture of the African American’s gaining their rightful freedoms in 1964.
In Warriors Don’t Cry the hatred of the blacks towards whites is very apparent from the beginning to the end of the novel. Melba and the other Little Rock 9 were repeatedly physically and verbally abused throughout their time at Central High School just because they were black. These actions were repeated throughout the nation some even went as far as killing people for their color of their skin. The main reason for this hatred was because the lower and middle class whites had people they were better then no matter what was happening at that point in their lives. They felt that if African-Americans were given equal rights they would be better than them and that was something they couldn’t let
Health insurance is not a part of the religion therefore they must follow the Obama mandate. This would be another great point in that it is not their body, the body of the courts, their employers, nor the doctors to state what women should be doing with their body. Wikipedia states that the Justice Departments' job is to, “responsible for the enforcement of the law and administration of justice" which they tried to do in this case but Judge Kane ignored them. Roe V Wade decided that years ago that women have the right to have contraception and abortions up unto what is
Knight was not educated, she never wanted to conform or persuade the Native and African Americas, she only wanted to observe them in their pure form. Not realizing, she made a very stressful era funny but also relayed the raw truth of the
Pepper’s” at first, but decided against it due to obvious, potential lawsuit reasons, but the concept was truly unique. Instead of marketing themselves as the Beatles, they created a fictitious concert band. The way it was organized was different too; the songs are all synced, like they are really performing a concert on tour. But that wasn’t the only illusion within the album; their new psychedelic sound, sampled into the public with Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever, skyrocketed, blowing the minds of everyone who purchased this record. The Beatles hard work became noticed with this album, and so did their increasing interest in drugs.
HistorySlavery was an institution that victimized as well as other cultures due to being in a controlled environment. Every suffered in their own way due to racial prejudice and fear of growing numbers. Masters which were also called Slave "owners" believed that treating another human being of another color like an animal was right. The children of the slave owners were being victimized as well due to following what their parent’s doings were right in treating another human being in such a manner. Slavery was so victimized that it still affects the society to the extent that black people blame the whites , and white people still agree that black people need to be slaves.
Ai Wei Wei and Xu Bing are well known artists that recontextualise their artwork. Having gone through restrictive and difficult times during the Cultural Revolution, these artists that finally have their ‘freedom’ are creating artwork that challenges their traditions and the audiences’ experience. Duchamp is a pivotal point of post modernism. Previously the art world mainly focused on aesthetic and photographic artworks. Recontextualising was a taboo before Duchamp stepped up and put a urinal on display at an exhibition claiming that it was art.
Every day, we are bombed with images of African American women lowering their standards by posing half naked and having silly arguments on social media. Women are portrayed as angry, loud, fighters and demanding. Many shows are examples of these characteristics such as house wives of Atlanta, Love & Hip Hop and Bad Girl Clubs. In these shows, women are very angry and confused so they act out. By this, people outside of the African American race may not understand so they go by what they see.
All the cultures were technologically stuck in the Stone Age,and ,combined with their lack of immunity to European diseases meant that these civilizations were overrun and conquered by Europeans. Columbus proved to the Europeans that the world was likely round and not flat. He didn't really prove that it was round, but his voyages increased the perceived likelihood that it was, and inspired other explorers who really did demonstrate that you could head west and end up east. That increased global trade significantly. It also increased global awareness of the other cultures that share this planet.
