Sources 1 and 2 both agree that he had a lot of power over the nobility and they were not fond of that. Source 1 state’s ‘his hostility towards...nobles’ this shows that Wolsey was aggressive towards the nobles which created ‘great irritation’. Wolsey saw himself above the nobility so he did not give them any respect and believed they could not do their job properly. Source 2 agrees that he had a lot of power of the nobility as he ‘shakes them by the ear’ this quote show that Skelton was taking the mick out of the nobility for not standing up to Wolsey which shows the amount of power he had over them but also that the nobles did actually fear Wolsey.

After interviewing individuals living in the 1930’s, Mari Sandoz wrote the biography of Crazy Horse, with vivid details regarding cruelty and the governmental overtaking of the Indians’ homeland. Sandoz writes through the eyes of an Indian, using their language style to capture the essence of the times. Although it was sometimes difficult to follow because of my unfamiliarity with the language, there are great lessons to be gained by following the life of Crazy Horse. The United States government, our government, compromised and prepared treaties with the Indians as they tried to capture their homeland. As the Indians were pushed and confined, they were forced to succumb to the all-mighty government who made promises they did not intend to keep and were solely focused on their own interests.

As Gandhi is burning peoples’ passes, a fellow officer beats him cruelly with a stick without fighting back. Gandhi expresses his ideals on the issues associated with the racial discrimination demonstrated by burning Indians’ border passes through nonviolent methods. By doing so, he is brutally beaten for stating his own opinion, which by law he

One reason Tatum used to explain why it is profitable to speak about racism and encourage others to break the silence is that, “unchallenged personal, cultural, and institutional racism results in the loss of human potential, lowered productivity, and a rising tide of fear and violence in our society” (pg. 200). When reading the chapter, Embracing a Cross-Racial Dialogue, I noticed one question showing up continuously when discussing breaking the silence of racism. If I don't do it, who will? This question really stood out to me for a few reasons.

looked to cities as sources of danger. They are thought to lack strong ties that provide social control, they harbor subcultures with evil lifestyles, economic fortunes are made and lost with little relation to Protestant virtue, sins of every sort are available, laziness and hypersexuality replace hard work, and mind-altering substances steal control of people's lives. Many of these are anxieties about groups thought unable to support themselves economically.
