The Five Components Of The FARC-EP Groups In Colombia

Improved Essays
Plebiscite is “a vote by which the people of a country or region express their opinion for or against and important proposal” (Oxford dictionary, 2016). In Colombia from 2012 to 2016 our government and members of the FARC-EP group developed the plebiscite document that has 297 pages that include five main agreements, this official paper invites us to finish the armed conflict in our country. Colombian people do not know if we accepted these agreements in an unconscious way due to the fact that, in it, we agreed with human rights violation and war crimes to support a concept of peace that doesn’t have a clear meaning, since our government sells an unreal peace in the complete territory because the FARC-EP group is not the only problem that we have, so as well like 50,22 % of Colombian people, I’m totally in favor of peace but against some agreements of the plebiscite. …show more content…

    First, it directs the population to the prospect the leaders want them to see. Through war propaganda, the power can easily alter the population to think of the best for the country. As a result, domestic problems, such as racism, sexism, social class stratification, income inequality, and etc., are overlooked. Compared with the urgency to “reinvigorate the nation’s unity and sense of manhood” (Foner, 681), the responsibility to “teach other peoples the lessons of democracy” (Foner, 739), the importance to fight “a crime against the people of the United States” (Foner, 748), these issues only seem, as they are, domestic. Results of such negligence is the delay of democracy.…

    A crucial aspect of any political question is the demographic regarding the issue. A referendum is a vote performed by the affected public relating to a specific issue. Therefore, the 1980 and 1995 Quebec referendums about pursuing sovereignty greatly rely on the general public’s view. Upon analysis of the results of both votes, it is clear that independence for Quebec should not be granted. In the 1980 referendum, in which 84.3 percent of the Quebec population voted, 59.5 percent of voters were opposed to the idea of Quebec seceding from Canada, leaving the remainder 40.5 percent in favor of the idea (“1980 Referendum”).…

    Where the argument fails is that it only establishes why intimidating the USSR was Truman’s objective, but does not discredit all the other reasons the leaders of the time claim they had for using the nuclear bomb, and it is completely logical and feasible that the dropping of the bomb had several motivators. Pavlik’s argument that surrender was imminent is backed up by three main points, the first of which is that the Japanese had already attempted to negotiate peace with Roosevelt on terms ‘virtually identical’ to the ones which were accepted by the U.S. This is important evidence to refute the argument of pro-bombers that the bombing was necessary in order to bring the war to a close in terms which were favorable to the Allies. If the United States was willing to accept in August the same terms the Japanese had offered in January, there must be some other reason than the expedition of the conflict for the dropping of the bomb. While Pavlik does not delve into the answer to this question, he mentions that Russian expansionist interests in the region and the fact that Stalin was consulted when it came to this decision are the reasons why the initial peace offer was…

For example, New York’s constitution prohibits the legislative from directly limiting a convention’s agenda. The agenda is placed in the hands of the people independently of the legislative. One thing that would be beneficial to our community and that should be considered at the next constitutional convention should be the home rule.…
