There difference from the 1830s and the 21st century are the concept of the definition and the society we now live in with technology and how each citizen has a voice in the government. The difference in the 1830s is that other countries such as France had an eye on America and how abundant the Americans were and how the political or lack feudal aristocracy had to do with it. Nowadays, the current values of American political culture appear to be a postmaterialist and this is believed that this value emerges when some members of the society have experienced a high…

    White supremacy is still very much in play in America today. Looking at the modern-day sects of the Klan, their targets seem to be determined by race, religion, and politics, but “the present KKK is not a new organization. It is a direct reorganization and continuation of the Klan of the Reconstruction period,” (Bohn 394). So, though white supremacy is rarely enforced by the Klan anymore, is it no longer a major player in American life today? Not a chance.…

    Just about everything in life can be taken to one of two extremes – to either too much, or too little. It is often because of these extremes that people are driven away from good things, things that they need or even ought to have. Sadly, we find these extremes abundant in our societies. We often have people that, when it comes to resisting government law, go to the wrong extremes; they either resist too little (or not at all) what needs to be resisted; or resist too much, turning their resistance into a wild, destructive rage. Because of extremes like this, many people have turned against resistance – many see it as some kind of evil, because they are repelled by the radical actions they see, such as weakness in face of bad laws, or extreme, violent reaction.…

    A few weeks ago, I was with a very good (female black) friend at another friend’s apartment just enjoying a relaxing Saturday night. However, the parking in the apartments was very limited, so my friend and I decided to park in handicap spots (yes, I know, shame on us). Later that night when we were walking to our cars we realized that her car had been towed, but mine had not. She definitely had the right to be mad, but she then went on to say “Ugh, screw you and your white privilege”!…

The most significant forms of structural oppression are the racist, ableist and classist tendencies of modern American culture.…
