In this speech he talks about the violence in Longton he says, "I warned all who had been part of it that they were not the friends, but the enemies of freedom. I told them that this strike for the Charter would bring ruin, if those who claimed to be its supports broke on law". From this source we can see that he believes the violence undermined the Chartist cause. He states that if the people involved in the violence admitted to being Chartists then they would essentially just been seen as a bunch of hooligans which is evidently not the image the Chartists were going for when they needed to be taken seriously amongst a cabinet completely full of middle to upper class Ministers. Thomas Cooper clearly believed that any violence would undermine the cause.
Or, in a way, we can make decisions to stay away from situations that lead us astray, but sometimes we take the wrong path and by this, cause us much destruction. The line “Where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?” brings a strong message or implied theme about how we destroyed things but not thinking of why we did this in the first place or by looking at why we started the problem. Pretty genius idea from Bastille ;) The music video however… I believe that since he was blinded from society, he never really got to see what was going on around him. When he sees the black eyes’ of the people he’s startled much like how a person would be if they saw a drastic change in someone they knew. On the other hand, the black eyes could symbolize how we all have “demons” or imperfections in a way and we need to except that not all people will accept that.
The reason why they wanted to remove it was because it supposedly interfered with the public space, and thought it attracted graffiti, and terrorists. In March 15th 1989 they removed his sculpture and scrapped the metal. Both artists didn't have much of a say so in their wishes. They had to just deal with the courts ultimate decision and continue without their
To what extent do anarchists agree about the nature of the future stateless society? For Anarchists the state is oppressive and represents the few who seek to oppress the many. The state is also charged with taking away our freedom through subjecting us to its laws and controls that are artificial, offending the basic principle of individual sovereignty. Furthermore the state is seen as corrupting to those in power, those who come into government may do so with good motives, but inevitably lose their idealism and become exploiters themselves. It is for these reasons that all traditions within Anarchism wish to advance human kind through the removal of the state in society.

“Rock music has one appeal only, a barbaric appeal to sexual desire- not love, not Eros, but sexual desire undeveloped and untutored…” says A. Bloom in Junk Food for the Soul by Frank Zappa. Those who call for the censorship are upset with what these songs messages are sending out to the world. Our society is very demanding of behaving in a civilized manner. Zappa says, “The ugliness in this society is not a product of unrefined art, but of unrefined commerce, wild superstition, and religious fanaticism.” I have been scolded many times by my mother and aunts that the rock music I have been listening to is sacrilegious. Devils music.
Hip-Hop of Yesterday and Today- The paradox between authentic rap music and commercial mainstream hip-hop, the deciding factors in why the shift of what hip-hop meant then and what it means today Introduction Hip-hop and the Music Industry and how hip-hop rap music has evolved into mainstream media, with product placement all up in the videos, propaganda of stereotypes that are negative in the portal of the hip-hop culture.

The Burning Truth Fire! It is hard to believe firemen start fires rather than putting them out. Yet that is what happens in Ray Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451. Dehumanization takes place as the advancements in technology make people less emotional and less capable of independent thought. This is exactly what the totalitarian government, in Bradbury’s Novel, wants for their mindless society.
Conflict can occur when there is an imbalance of power, causing certain individuals to rise up against this oppression to try and shift the disparity of power. In V for Vendetta, Moore explores this idea through the character of V, who represents individuality and anarchism in a society that is controlled by a fascist, oppressive government. The sombre use of pallet at the beginning of the graphic novel is a reflection of the lack of individuality in this society, as oppression by the government has prevented self-expression and the formation of one’s own opinion. The illustration of a street camera with the sign ‘FOR YOUR PROTECTION’ underneath, as well as the implementation of a curfew and the use of speakers for public propaganda broadcasts, suggests a more sinister motive behind these actions and demonstrates how there can be no freedom of expression in a society where your every move is monitored. There is no ‘talk of freedom…or individual liberty’ in a totalitarian society that rules by force.
Troublingly, the bleak populist movement of today's youth against literature is frighteningly similar to that which led to the eventual total banishment of books in Fahrenheit 451. This is evident in the dialog in which the character Captain Beatty professes, "There was no
