Analysis Of To Take Anybody's Life By Chavez

Improved Essays
In the article, Chavez believes things shouldn’t be handled violently when something, doesnt turn out to be as expected. His purpose for this article is to prove that nobody has the right to take anybody's life for whatever reason. When Chavez says, “To take anybodys life” he does not only mean it physically but emotionally as well. This makes the audience think about how we personally handle things ourselves, and if it's the right way to deal with it. Americans are violent because they are fearful, American fearfulness expresses itself in two different ways: with violence and nonviolence. Some of us humans see the use of violence as the shortcut to change, but little do we know that if it is to be successful it'll only be for a short period

    The two murals I chose were both painted by Diego Rivera around the same time period between 1923 and 1947 with the first, “Liberation of the Peon being painted in 1923 and the second “dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park” being painted from 1946-47. “Emiliano Zapata’s aim was to bring about agrarian reform and freedom to the poor and working class citizens. But how successful/how lasting was the influence of Zapata and/or agrarian reform on both the Mexican Revolution and present day Mexico. Both the murals I chose convey the same message but in different forms for instance “Liberation of the Peon” describes the conditions for the poor/ lower class citizens. Through both the imagery of what looks to be a bunch of men and there horse's freeing another man from a sake he's that he's tied to, and through…

    Hernando de Soto stated that capital is like energy and that it is a dormant value. However, we know how to create energy like burning wood in stove produces energy in the form of heat to cook food, boil water, or warm a home. The same cannot be said with capital. We have a pretty good idea what it is, but we are not as good at turning capital into economic potential. De Soto also defines capital as the parallel life of an asset.…

    By using this side by side comparison, he asserts that “nonviolence is more powerful than violence” (lines 15-16). Rather than preaching that nonviolence is better, Chavez connects it to power which is used to appeal the reader since many believe power is valuable and uses juxtaposition to further convince the Christian public. He resumes his strategic use of juxtaposition when stating, “Nonviolence supports you if you have a just and moral cause… if we resort to violence… violence will be escalated and there will be many injuries and perhaps deaths on both sides…” (lines 16-21). Targeted to those who believe in God, this is crucial since the Christian public would not want to cause people to suffer and cause deaths. Juxtaposition opens the eyes of the audience allowing them to see why nonviolence surpasses violence and that it is right morally and…

    Steven Pinker’s “Violence Vanquished” is an article that focuses on the decline of violence since the start of the twenty-first century. He argues that violence today is relatively nonexistent in comparison to that of the past. However, deaths from rapes, shootings, and fights are still occurring today. Pinker uses a chart that estimates the deaths of people from the twentieth century to the twenty-first century (Pinker 701). The early 1900s included countless deaths from wars, slavery, and other violent conflicts.…

    The fourth book assigned was Victor Rios’, Punished: policing the lives of Black and Latino boys. Rios’ book chronologizes black and Latino boys in Oakland as they encounter various forms of punishment at very stages in their lives. Young Latino and black men are the marginalized group in this book. What Rios criticizes and blames for the egregious policing of these young men is the youth control complex: “The youth control complex is a ubiquitous system of criminalization molded by the synchronized, systematic punishment meted out by socializing and social control institutions” (40). Rios breaks the complex down further into material and symbolic forms of criminalization.…

    Punished was written by Victor Rios and published in 2011. Rios wrote the book to chronicle the challenges young black and Latino boys faced within their improvised, highly criminalized neighborhoods. Rios grew up in Oakland, California and lived in the ghettos, mainly a poor, minority community; he was also a gang member involved in his fair share of trouble. Rios began looking for answers to the plights he and his community endured after the murder of his friend while they ran from a rival gang member. A conversation with the police whom Rios claimed told him they wanted the gangs to kill each other off, made him seek answers to the prevalence of violence that plagues poor populations.…
