The Hindu Protests

Improved Essays
This week I looked at the Indian Newspaper called, “The Hindu.” The main area I focused on was Visakhapatnam, which is where Hoina is located. The articles I saw involved weather, particularly heavy rain, jobs, students healthy, and various protests. Most of the protest articles were about the privatization of civic properties and people are upset because they believe this is a scam to give land away. The weather articles discuss a cyclone that came close to the Andhra Pradesh and that it made the temperature a little cooler, which is beneficial, but it did overwhelm many people in the state.
The newspaper in the United States I looked is the, “Times Leader.” These articles have a lot to do with the shooting is Las Vegas. Most, almost all,

    The Anti-British Protests

    From the outset, Massachusetts was the leader of the anti-British protests for a few reasons. First and foremost, the British establishment of the Dominion of New England- which combined the colonies of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Connecticut into a single province headed by a Royal governor (Edmund Andros)- angered the Massachusetts colonists and created a tense relationship between Great Britain and the colony early on. In addition, there was a growing colonial merchant class in Massachusetts whose wealth and prosperity was threatened by the slew of taxes that the British enacted, particularly the Navigation, Sugar, Stamp and Tea acts. The Massachusetts colony was also the chief center of resistance; serving as the home…

This quote illustrates that women were inferior towards men meaning they have a patriarchal society.…

When I look at this article, I can easily find the target audience in this article. The target audience is American moms. Since Watts delivers the message that Moms have to be banding together to alter the American culture of gun violence in this article, the target audience can be defined as moms in the U.S.…

    The civil disobedience that is discussed in this poem is about how some people treat each other and how we all should learn to respect and appreciate what we have instead of trying to overpower each other by thinking one religion or race is better. I agree with the author because race and religion has played a big part in our world and has affected it negatively. How do we expect to work together and survive if we get so caught up in our own negativity.…

    Native American Activism

    • 1716 Words
    • 7 Pages

    In Hippies, Indians, and the Fight for Red Power, Sherry L. Smith examined Native American activism during the 1960s and 1970s. In the Introduction, Smith argued that Native American activism sporadically accumulated success over time leading to "meaningful reform of Indian affairs," without one specific polarizing event. In a somewhat contradiction to the idea of a steady build up of popular support and legislative action, Smith indicated that activists employed sensational efforts to garner attention, whether it be a more radical or violent protest, or simply a media ploy. Often subjected to cultural appropriation or incorporation into other political agendas by some of the people seeking to provide support, Native Americans learned…

    Acts Of Activism

    Acts of Activism: Human Rights as Radical Performance by D. Soyini Madison obviously brought up questions of the situation in Africa, specifically that of Ghana. The book also brought to mind questions of other religions and my privilege when it comes to my access to water and the right to defend myself when it comes to domestic abuse. Though I had some issues with the stylistic choices of the book, I thought the topics and acts of activism that Madison highlighted were quite shocking and pushed the reader to reflect on their own life. The reaction that I had to the stylistic setup of this book was “What am I reading now?”.…

When looking at this map, I found it both interesting that the majority of the protests happened on the East Coast of the United States.…

    India is a great country filled with rich culture and interesting people. These people might seem strange and their practices taboo to western society, but all in all they are people. They view western society just as strange; the only true difference that separates people is where and how they were raised and the effects that their environment has on their mentality. How we live life and interpret the world is mostly based off of our experiences, so we should not dismiss another culture and negatively generalize their whole people just because they are different. We are all fundamentally the same.…
