Absolute zero

When examining the Zero Tolerance policy effect on schools, one must consider, “what is the best course of action for maintaining and operating a school that is conducive to learning?” The Zero Tolerance policy made a legitimate attempt to combat school violence. Today many educational activists argue that the policy was punitive and discriminatory. However, I find it very difficult to agree with either argument. In 1994 when the Gun-Free Schools Act signed was into law; lawmakers were concerned…

After completing the reading “Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out Overpoliced and Underprotected” it is clear that the theme is on punitive policies in public education. The structure of a “zero tolerance” school made some students feel unwanted and unsafe. It’s devastating to hear that some students had to choose between leaving school or staying long enough to get arrested. The purpose for the author writing this is to shed some light on the issue of girls of color struggling in schools, but their…

Zero tolerance policy requires school officials to hand down specific, consistent, and harsh punishment, usually suspension or expulsion when students break certain rules (Lawyers.com, 2018). If a student break the rules, teachers are not going to tolerate it. They are going to throw the student out of the class for misconduct. This is an example of structural violence because power is all within school administrators such as: Teachers, Principal, Dean, and Security Guards. These school…

belief. In the 17th century in Europe, England, and France, there were different monarchies such as absolutism and constitutionalism. King Louis IVX is an absolute monarchy because he was the only child ascended to the throne. Meanwhile Elizabeth is considered a constitutional monarchy because…

absolutism as a governing force to rule their lands. During the reign of Louis XIV, Jean Domat wrote a profound document in which he addressed all areas of government and outlined what he believed to be the tenets of an absolute monarchy. This document, entitled “On Social Order and Absolute Monarchy” defined what he believed to be the basis of absolutism and class structure in regards to the law of God and the law of nature. Absolutism is as form of government where unrestricted, complete power…

To the people of Fontenay-le-Comte, I thank you all for having provided me with the opportunity to represent you in the National Assembly. In the past few months, I had listened to and voted on each proposition with only your best interest in mind. Despite my efforts, not only have we lost the National Assembly, we have lost our beloved country of France to Austro-Prussia. Despite the loss of our country, I write to you in good faith that the invasion and takeover of France will in fact greatly…

However, soon it all turned downhill and into shambles, until Napoleon rose to power and stabilized France again. Napoleon did become a dictator, but it was not absolute monarchy because he set many laws and rules and gave rights to people that he actually followed, which absolute monarchs didn’t do, since they thought their actions had no boundaries and didn’t feel the need to follow ant rules or laws. Napoleon also spread the positive aspects of the French Revolution…

matter who is in office. This criticism begins with the president, and spirals all the way down to city mayors and public office persons. Several lines later, Arias again states, “You should redoubt the power of a king…Remember, kings wish to be absolute.” This, as Corneille writes constitutes a bad king. This not only exemplifies a bad king, but also portrays a tyrant. If one is afraid of the actions of the king, as well as how much power the king has, then the king simply has too much…

authority in the state rested in the hands of a king who claimed to rule by divine right the idea that kings received their power from God and were responsible to no one but God. Catherine The Great and Tokugawa Ieyasu were both known as prominent absolute rulers but, Ieyasu was a more effective absolutist ruler. Tokugawa controlled his country by reasonable means that wouldn’t cause uprisings and distrust while still being the only one to make decisions for the country. Catherine was simply…

An absolute monarchy could only be successful under the leadership of an extraordinary ruler who had complete power over his people. An absolute monarch should be able to overachieve the abundance of obstacles placed in front of him. King Louis XIV was able to obtain much of his prodigious power by creating a new, modernized army. Louis was an exceptional mastermind at trade and he had dramatically increased France’s revenue. These actions allowed him to have the unique ability to create such a…
