Racism starts at the ground level, limiting people from benefiting from the social benefits. This explains the weakness of ethics in controlling racism. Most nations continue to fight the idea of racism using various strategies; however, they fail to consider the origin of racism. Using ethics to control racism only exposes the community to some regulations, which hinder progress, as racism is grounded to biological origin. Likewise, the twist of a biological connection to social connection diversifies racism significantly.
Clemenceau resented Wilson’s generous attitude towards Germany and Lloyd George’s desire to not treat Germany too harshly. He said “if they British are so anxious to appease Germany they should look overseas and make colonial, naval or commercial concessions”. These disagreements left the big three unsatisfied and ultimately left them with a weak mere shadow of a perhaps great treaty due to their own arrogance and. It contained many faults and weaknesses. The treaty of Versailles greatly humiliated Germany forcing it to accept soul responsibility for the war.
They were not inventing anything new but reclaiming something ancient. This is why governments tend to fall apart, because people often want to come together freely and be themselves, rather then fit a mold that is presented for them. Hobbes foretold that it was a human condition that war fought by each against each, making it hard for anything good to come out of it, or learn
Rachel Kay How accurate is it to say Frederick William IV was responsible for the failure of the Frankfurt Parliament? The Frankfurt Parliament was established to create freedom of press, German citizenship for all, fair taxation, equality of political rights and to create a unified Germany. However, countries like Austria greatly opposed it. Frederick William IV could be seen as responsible for the failure of the Frankfurt Parliament because he refused to accept any form of leadership and made it clear he distrusted the ‘gentlemen of Frankfurt’. However, many other factors played a role in the demise of the Parliament such as the fact that they were ill-organised, the lack of popular support and their inability to enforce decisions.
Patriotism and nationalism give a sense of identity and belonging and helps maintain authority and social order. It prevents social conflict by binding irrational dependent individuals together with a shared set of values, whist transcending the natural rights of the individuals. Lastly conservative nationalism is very defensive in the belief in a special nationality which is being eroded by another. This is different to Liberal nationalism because Liberals believe that nation states can live together without the other being compromised. This is highlighted with UKIP arguing that the EU erodes our principle of independence which links back to the idea of
Certainly these changes were massive, quite abrupt and differed drastically from the norm; however that does not necessarily make them bad. Except, that is how they are viewed by many historians today. The historian N.Reeves believes Akhenaten was unsuccessful, but more in his religion reforms. 'For ordinary folk, there is little doubt that Akhenaten's actions as king over time inflicted the greatest misery: the people were confused by the man's religious vision, frightened by the ruthless manner in which it was imposed and quite likely appalled by his personal behaviour.' Reeves believe that the changes would have confusing and scary for the common people.
Conservatives have a pessimistic view of human nature, some would even agree with Hobbes view that the desire for “power after power” is the primary human urge. Two we are intellectually imperfect conservatives traditionally believe that the world is simply too complicated for human reason to fully grasp this leads them to trust in tradition as it is “Tried and tested” and it also explains there argument for letting society grow organically as conservatives would prefer to trust in nature then our own rationality this contrasts with both socialism and liberalism. Finally they believe we are psychologically imperfect conservatives believe we are security seeking, we fear isolation and instability and desire the security and belonging of “knowing are place” this is used as the argument for conservatives supporting social order as they accept Hobbes theory of a “Social contract” that individuals are willing to sacrifice liberty for the cause of social order. It is clear that traditionally conservatives strongly believed in human imperfection but too what extent the different strands of conservatism support this core principle differs. Strands that believe in the Human imperfection completely are traditional conservatives, authoritarian conservatives and paternalistic
The prospect of making a profit from the act of colonisation was probably one of the primary reasons to colonise, but colonisation was also about ideologies, religion and ethnocentrism. The colonisers tended to believe that they were
A nation is a collection of people bound together by shared values and common characteristics. Nationalism is sometimes categorised as a political doctrine, as opposed to a political ideology. It is often perceived as a single doctrine, due to its ability to attach itself to almost any wider political ideology, such as liberalism, conservatism, fascism and socialism. In contrast to the core ideologies, nationalism does not consist of complex interrelated ideas,and values, it is simply the belief that the nation is the natural unit of government. However, in other respects nationalism can be characterised by its significant divisions, this makes nationalism appear to be a collection of distinct and in some respects, sharply conflicting sub-strands.
This is partially due the idea that each country thinks it is superior and only one country can prevail as the superior nation. Citizens from both warring countries will rally together to aid their country to victory. The people of a nation will forget about things such as race, sex, and different political views. After the American Civil War, patriotism took on an entirely new meaning for blacks and other minorities. Patriotism now meant that one would not only die for his country, but also that the government would guarantee social, political, and racial equality (O’Leary 112).
