They lost the battle, and Britain’s rule over India strengthened. India’s physical effort to keep out Europeans did not succeed. However, Japan did not use physical methods to resist western control. Japan took pride in their unique culture and did not want any foreign influence in their society’s development. Eventually Western styles spread to Japan, but they did not adapt fully or completely change their culture.
To what extent was Wilhelmine Germany rived by internal tensions’ There were many reasons as to why Wilhelmine Germany had internal tensions and strains. A lot of these reasons are to do with the political side and the contradictions to do within Germany being seen as constitutional and democratic and then not issuing any of these policies. There are issues within the political parties themselves and conflating ideologies, as well as with the chancellors, the Kaiser and the government. Again another source of tensions was the growing minorities and varying races and religions making up a large part of Whilhelmine Germany, whom were treated immorally. All of these strains add up to make a tension filled country with a lot of underlying problems, that were contradictions to what is portrayed.
However, British policy played a part too. British reforms that failed to honour their promises resulted in Indian opinion changing, from what was once a trusting relationship, to one without trust or faith. World War one and two can also explain the changing relationship, especially World War two, where Britain’s own position in the world was changing and they were unable to afford India anymore. At midnight between the 14th and 15th of August 1947 India gained independence from Britain and the nations of India and Pakistan came into existence. This was the largest peacetime transfer of power in
Although if maybe a few more years we get better politicians I would agree we need to have a more up to date constitution. I don’t feel we need a completely new one, we just to revise the old one. Since our government has become so big and corporate we have lost sight of our basic constitutional privileges. We also need to change the tension between political parties. They’re all stuck in their own worlds; fighting with one another that they forgot their supposed to be benefiting us.
Within the meaning of this interpretation, Jesus was a rebel, yet He did not campaign for the achievement of the aim through violence. The policy He followed to attain it was moral regeneration through peaceful means. Jesus directed His teachings and actions to establish equality among men. He also advocated justice and fair play for all irrespective of the position or status in the society. He did not encourage the violation of established rules and regulation.
Many people consider Jihad to be a movement which causes a problem in the Muslim community because of the misinterpretation of the religious beliefs. Some read it as a Holy war on unbelievers and others read it as a war within
Henry IV Part One is a play that explores the dreadful consequences and civil unrest that arose from Henry's usurpation of the legitimate King of England. To what extent do you agree. A major concern of "Henry IV Part One" is the question of rebellion against legitimate authority. The protagonist, Henry IV, has decisively broken with the traditional form of political authority; the common allegiance to a legitimate king. This allegiance derives the King's authority from his inheritance and the common knowledge that this is the way the political order in the country should be determined.
Washington concludes that the formation of political parties is dangerous to the prosperity of the young nation, however, he states that the formation of political parties is inseparable from our nature (Washington, 103). Washington defines the formation of political parties to be the “domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities” (Washington, 103) Washington believed that political parties turn citizens against one another and in certain cases cause riots and insurrection. He also believed that political parties fuel animosity and open the door to foreign influence and corruption (Washington, 103). Because the formation of political parties can not be prevented Washington extended cautions to prevent the demise of the nation from political parties. With certain precautions and a spirit of morality political parties can exist without causing
Bin Laden has become the spectre haunting the West, the architect not just of 9/11 but of a worldwide assault on Western values and way of life. It is a myth that has helped fuel wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, destabilize Pakistan, reinforce autocracies in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen and elsewhere, and erode rights and liberties, from the imposition of draconian domestic anti-terror laws to the obscenity of extraordinary rendition to the international affront that is Guantanamo Bay. Bin Laden’s legacy has not simply been the murderous ideology he has promoted or the wanton slaughter he has unleashed. It has also been the undermining in the West of those very values that the ‘war on terror’ supposedly seeks to defend. The real challenge to bin Laden and al-Qaeda, and its medieval, terror-laden theology, has come not from the West’s war on terror but from the Arab Spring, from the revolts that have shaken the region from Tunisia to Egypt to Yemen to Syria.
Inevitable tensions however characterize such relationships and often lead to a continuous power struggle between two opposing parties. Whilst the authority seeks to sustain its influence, individuals desire change in the face of suppression of their values. Kesey’s “Cuckoo’s Nest” examines one’s struggle against the authority’s repressive tendencies while Shakespeare Retold’s “Taming” explores one’s use of an unclear distinction between appearance and reality in defeating a misogynist authority figure. Each text constructs a conflicting relationship between the individual and authority which is characterized by the individual’s inability to accept the tyrannical values promoted by authoritarian
