The genocide in Darfur, Sudan has already caused hundreds of thousands of Darfuris to die and cause more than 2 million people to be homeless. The genocide began in early 2003 when members of two rebel groups revolted against the Sudanese government in Khartoum alleging systematic neglect of the inhabitants of Darfur. The two rebel groups are the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA). The government responded by launching an assault against these two rebel groups. Black Arabs were being discriminated against because they were black and they were being told that they weren't in the right religion.
The new weapon napalm was used to burn villages many lives in Vietnam were lost as they were in South Africa. Both countries were both ruins and its people were angry as is shown in the language of the two poems. Both these poems are full of bitterness. The black poet who wrote Nothing’s Changed uses a vicious irony “we know where we belong” to show that he feels blacks and whites will never truly reconcile. His pent - up rage is expressed again in the final stanza “ Hands burn for a stone, a bomb to shiver down the glass”.
Global Issues Carter 20 February 2012 Realism vs. Idealism Realism and Idealism are the two major contending theories of international relations which are debated at the local and international level today. Realists believe that human nature is bad and individuals cannot be trusted. On the other hand, idealism states that there is a relationship between all the countries and as such relationships need to be formed between individuals. They also believe in morality and that human nature is good so they involve themselves in many world affairs. These relationships appear to change as quickly as actors in a soap opera.
John states “Inequality in the administration of justice and the enforcement of the laws was apparent to any who cared to look. In 1921 a Negro was burned to death over a slow fire at Nodena, Arkansas. In the following year a mob, including women and children, slowly roasted a black man in Hubbard, Texas, while jabbing sticks into his mouth, nose, and eyes.”(pg. 86) It is here that John Franklin points out the unfairness in the justice system of America. While John expresses the many complications of racial equality he does not give a solution to the problem.
Not to mention the many protests in Iran about the corrupt government. Which resulted in the government using violence against the citizens. To avoid situations like these, the society needs social order. Social order is important because it establishes social unity, controls how an individual should behave, checks cultural mal-adjustments and many more. The importance of social order is portrayed through protagonists Simba of The Lion King directed by Roger Allens and Rob Minkoff and Hamlet of Hamlet written by William Shakespeare.
Asian, Hispanic, Native American's and African American's. African American's were considered the lowest level, and were forced into slavery. They were abused and often times killed if they did not do everything for an American. Native American's were drove off of their lands by the white European people. The whites wanted the land for themselves so they more often times than not killed, beat and burned down the Native American's homes in order to show who was more superior.
The poem “Not my business” is about what life is like living under the military rule in Nigeria and the restrictions it placed on the people living in Nigeria and the constant fear of knowing that the military could come and take the villagers away at any time without any warning. In “After Wiriyamu…” the emotions expressed by Mapanje are of anger towards the Portuguese for violently murdering innocent villagers who could not defend themselves, also his anger is shown towards the leaders of Mozambique who left their country and went into exile for fear of their own lives, when they could have helped to prevent the massacre at wiriyamu. The way that the narrator expresses the poem make it sound more believable, he does this writing the poem as though he is the voice of the people of Mozambique who were massacred and is telling the world what has happened whereas In the “Not my business” the narrator’s behaviour towards being notised is completely different and acts like he is trying to stay hidden and wants nothing to do with what’s happening in his surroundings this is shown 3 times in the poem where after every paragraph he says “what business of mine is it, so long they don’t take the yam from my savouring mouth”. In the poem “After
Some of these groups and people included ‘Malcolm X’, Rosa Parks, and ‘The Black Panthers’. Malcolm X saw King’s campaign as trying to persuade the African American citizens to forget the days of slavery, and forget what the white men had done to their people. His stance was passive/aggressive and wanted equality by any means, including violence. Malcolm X was assassinated by a white supremacist during a speech and died of bullet wounds. Also, ‘The Black Panthers’ were a very violent group and saw King’s campaign as time consuming and feared it being forgotten in the process.
Using material from item A and elsewhere, assess the usefulness of functionalist approaches in explaining crime. (21 marks) “Crimes are those actions deemed so disturbing to citizens of disruptive to society as to justify state intervention.” Pease (2002). Crime is any act which breaks the laws of society. For example, murder or rape. Deviance, on the other hand, is behaviour which moves away from conventional norms and values such as burping and farting in public.
Crime is defined as “an act prohibited and punished by law” (Collins, 2006) but there has been much debate about what ‘crime’ is. Harm, social agreement and official societal response are the three key elements of determining crime. A relationship exists between the three key concepts that would determine whether or not an act is a crime. If an action caused harm then society would be outraged and would create a law to punish those responsible and prohibit further acts occurring. From this emerged the consensus position on crime which states that crimes are acts that produce intense moral outrage amongst society (Muncie & McLaughlin, 2003).
