The North was also segregated, but not near to the extent of which the South was. The people didn’t react as much as there wasn’t a lot of violence and the earlier protests were calmer which meant that the media had nothing to report about as nothing particularly extreme occurred. The media would pick up on the events in the South as violence occurred and many people turned up. His tactics did not go to plan and the reaction of the police and public was not what expected. The Mayor of Chicago knew that they had to stop the campaigns from attracting media attention and to reduce this he ordered the police to avoid using violence and brutality and treat the campaigners with respect.
This was very unfair on the people and on the other people up for election, so this source doe’s hint at the fact a reform should take place, but this particular MP does not want a reform because he is benefitting without it. Saying this, some boroughs and counties were under-represented whereas some were over-represented. Source 2 on the other hand, is a speech made by a Tory MP, Sir Robert Inglis in Parliament. This man is clearly not interested in a reform and says how the parliament is a ‘complete representation of the interests of the people’. With this quote, we can question this over source 1.
In some ways the police force were not to blame for not capturing Jack the Ripper because of the harsh conditions that they had to work in. A newspaper article describes the streets of Whitechapel as "containing some headquarters of infamy" and "The sights and sounds are an apocalypse of evil" This gives a very negative image of the streets of Whitechapel and leads us to feel sympathetic towards the Police because they had to work in these conditions. The conditions would also affect a policeman's efficiency and make him less alert. The conditions can also explain why Jack could get away so easily. Because the Ripper wore a "dark coat", he may have been able to camouflage into the dark surroundings, described -"The main thoroughfares of Whitechapel are connected by a network of narrow, dark
If you're in associated with people who are different to you, then to be with them sometimes requires some participation in their cultural aspects of life. In Gran Torino, Kowalski’s attitudes towards his next door neighbours were that they were Hmong people and they mustn’t be sort of like subhuman which makes them not deserving of the life him and his fellow Americans have. This attitude comes from his war times and the behaviours that Asians showed in the war (not necessarily the Hmong people). Attitudes can’t be changed as easily as they are made. Social values sometimes affect the way people form attitudes.
Working on an article is a privilege not a right, but I do believe that it wasn’t right when the editors didn’t think they had a chance. I also think that the editors did not encourage them because when Woodward and Bernstein had some of their articles published, no other journalist were re-printing their story. They became worried, and wanted to drop the story, thinking that if Woodward and Bernstein continued it, it would get nowhere. I think the story of Watergate was scandalous. It was an American Political scandal and a conflict in the 1970’s and also led to the resignation of president Nixon.
This act placed a tax on most things imported to the colonies. It was different than the stamp act simply because this tax was not imposed directly so it was sort of disguised. By disguising in this way MOST colonists did not seem to mind it too much. There were still the few that did not mind the taxes but the fact that they had no representation made them angry. This act is also linked to the Boston Massacre because it was the last act passed before this event.
However the one clue he did leave which was a leather apron was inadequate in those days due to the lack of technology. In source A it says both crimes were the work of a demented being. This suggests that the Ripper was clearly a inhumane being and the fact that the police did not pick up on this makes my feelings on how the police coped much less. Although there would be no clear sigh of madness surely there is some chance that someone would have picked up on the madness when knocking on peoples doors enquiring. The media may have disrupted police enquires by printing papers that exaggerate the situation and this may have given vital information to the Ripper as he may have read these articles and gained sufficient knowledge to get himself out of near misses i.e.
It is a step that has to be taken, for skipping it creates a new identity different enough from the original culture to label someone as foreign, but not changed to the extent that they are considered assimilated. Mukherjee calls this as “a great disservice” because immigrants don’t belong to one culture or the other, but are isolated in a hybrid culture, hamstrung by the inability to read, write, or speak the common language. Imagine an immigrant driving through a city in a foreign country, getting lost because they can’t read the street signs, and not being able to remedy the situation by stopping to ask for directions because they don’t speak the same language. This is the plight of the immigrant that doesn’t assimilate, in which everyday tasks that citizens of a country take for granted morph into impossible endeavors, daunting and unassailable mountains. Every street sign is an obstacle, every neighbor is out of the reach of dialogue, one is alone in a foreign land.
“But the Duvitches were marked people.” (3) This prevented them to do what they wished peacefully because where ever they went they would be harassed by the town folk. And that harassment helps to prevent them from feeling free. Moving into a new country is tough, but moving to a place where the community doesn’t accept you is much harder. Even though you are technically free, you can never be free unless you are accepted by the community you move to. This is shown in the short story The Strangers That Came to Town by Ambrose Flack.
His own experience was enlightening to him; he found a more enlightened sense of his town. In the real world that is past his time there is still civil disobedience, in the civil rights movement people broke the law by protesting against the government. They were protesting for there rights and were thrown in jail for it exactly like Thoreau. I disagree with some of what he says like the people will one day be prepared to have no government in their lives, but I don’t think he is an anarchist; I think that he is an idealistic person. His ideas one day may happen that there will be a more people oriented government.
