Source B comes from a labour party MP, Ramsay MacDonald who does support a revolution but he does not believe being violent by “breaking windows” is the way to do this. He describes them as being seen as “childish”, “silly and provocative”. Militancy gives the government an excuse not to support them, why would they give in to violence? Source C agrees that the militancy was important because “increasingly militant tactics” resulted in the Liberals “hardening its resistance” as can be seen by the ‘Cat and Mouse Act’ of 1913. This was where suffragette’s who had been arrested for violence would be allowed to go on a hunger strike letting them get weaker and weaker.
Who were the major players in the Spanish Civil War and how did they affect its course and outcome? For the first time in Spain’s history, 1931 marked the year that changed the country into an orderly democratic republic. The exile of King Alfonso XIII in 1931 because of the loss in support from the Spanish people only highlighted that the monarchy was doomed. Therefore, the Second Spanish Republic ruled from 1931 until 1937 and was under the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera whose main aims was to modernize Spain through liberal, democratic means. Although, the development of change already faced opposition from right-winged supporters, including rich landowners who feared social changes that the Republic would try to implement.

Everyone is a part of 'one body', the Inspector sees society as more important than individual interests. The views he is propounding are again like those of Priestley who wanted his socialist views put across to the audience. He adds a warning about what could happen op if, like some members of the family, we ignore our responsibility: 'and I tell you that the time will soon come when, if men will not learn that lesson,when the will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.' Probably he is thinking partly about the world war which they had just lived through, the result of the governments blindly pursuing 'national interest' at all cost. No doubt he was thinking too about the Russian revolution in which poor workers and peasants took over the state and exacted a bloody revenge against the aristocrats who had treated them so
Montgomery’s essay Island Of Plenty uses the biblical reference of the Garden of Eden as a contrast to the current world. He also uses a great deal of logic to feed off the common fears of the common person, which develops his arguments about how the U.S. should not share resources with the countries in need. The Garden of Eden, a beautiful self-sustaining world with no fear and no pollution just a utopia printed and fantasized about in the early testament. Montgomery strengthens his argument about the problems of over population by using the biblical garden as a use of imagery. After his harsh opening paragraph on how the world should let those who starve die, he brings up the image of Eden and how perfect it was before man took control

Racism Still Treads the Soil There is a fine line between Racism and Simple Superiority Revived and full of life, racism is resuscitated to resume to its duties here on earth. The American population should really consider the development of an equal eye program to protest against racism. The simple shading of a person’s skin should not determine their ranking within any given society. A variety of opportunities and an ocean overflowing with waves of knowledge and talents would be buried for eternity just because of the vast disliking of different pigmentation of the skin or origin of their ancestors. Everyone should an equal opportunity to do something with their lives and become something of themselves despite their ethnicity.
Myrtle Wilson is ashamed of her social position in life because she is poor. First off, when she is with Tom, (which is wrong in the first place) she is lifted of her under-class blemishes, even though Tom has abused her. When Tom and Nick go into town to the apartment party, Nick states, “Making a short deft movement, Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand”(37). It is never okay no matter what situation a person is in to hit a woman. Tom is so arrogant that he thinks he can do whatever he wants.
This conveys to the audience how disrespectful and dishonourable Abigail is by threatening a court member -who is much respected in the community and has power over Abigail- with a lie, at the age of seventeen, when there are people’s lives on the line and when she has been the one doing wrong doing throughout the whole play. However she still has the nerve to get up in front of a court and continue to threaten and manipulate people into doing what she wants for her benefit. This makes the audience feel infuriated with Abigail for even after all she has done, all the lives that have been lost because of her, she still sees fit to threaten and manipulate. It also however makes the audience feel quite amused, that she is so childish that she has to resort to such empty threats to get her way. Miller uses this stage direction to highlight how blatant Abigail is and how she will do anything to protect herself and get her own
Transcendentalism today can influence the beginning of a new realization in many religions. The term Transcendentalism was derived from the philosopher Kant, who called "all knowledge transcendental which is concerned not with objects but with our mode of knowing objects." In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds...A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the Divine Soul which also inspires all men." In this 21st Century the Age of Technology, we are still plagued by religious beliefs that are contributing causes toward terrorism, killings and wars between nations. Belief in what much of mankind calls “God”,
