Anarchy

the globe. The Bald Eagle, the American emblem chosen in 1782, symbolizes freedom, life, and strength. The cartoon argues that American strength will shield and protect smaller, more helpless countries. Such protection would be needed against the anarchy of self-rule and the danger of oppressive countries. The pro-Imperialist Americans believed ‘Providence’ had given them the Philippines to “save… for liberty and civilization.” [Doc B]. The barbaric Filipinos, as many Americans believed needed…

lines “The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere; the ceremony of innocence is drowned.” (dingo.sbs.arizona.edu) The apparent allusion is seen in the similar imagery of the emptiness and drowning of innocence as a result of the colonizer’s anarchy. The imagery of the water turning into the color of blood refers…

In literature, characters' surroundings can affect them greatly. This is especially true in William Golding's Lord of the Flies. The novel's true villain, Roger, is transformed by the island's complete and utter anarchy. As a result, he begins to act upon his sadistic desires. The Island's lack of adult leadership, hunting mentality, and Jack's savage leadership create an environment where Roger's sadistic tendencies can thrive. Roger wastes no time before causing trouble in his new, adult-free…

In Lord of the Flies, Golding uses strong characterization and instances of symbolism to help develop the story and reveal relevant themes on human nature and society. One example of this is the scene where Piggy is struck by the boulder to his fatal fall. As Piggy is hit, the conch that he held in his hands “exploded into a thousand white fragments.” Throughout the story, the conch represented order in the society of the boys, so this moment is symbolic in the sense that order no longer exists…

The very basis of the play Antigone is the friction caused between what is best for Antigone which lies in direct opposition to what is best for the city of Thebes as a whole. Through their arguments, Creon and Antigone demonstrate the tension that arises due to the gap between a private good and a public good. The play teaches also that the law and justice are not always correlated which furthers the tension between private justice and justice for the city. While both arguments are strong,…

After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the two great powers, creating a bipolar international stage. After the end of the war, the realist interpretation reigned dominant among other international relations theories. In the 1970’s, the middle of the cold war, realist theory expanded, creating structural realism (neorealism). Though realist theory cannot be applied to explain everything that happens in international politics, it can very well be used to explain…

With the spirit of excitement, a place is half chaos and half anarchy. In the Boys State, educational programs of government instruction for high school students, we were able to get close real fast, but it was definitely somewhat chaos and anarchy without an order or a leader, our group needed a set of rules and a leader to follow. So, I decided to run for city councilmen because this was only the job…

The field of international politics is a vastly complex field that can be difficult to interpret and make sense of. There is no supreme governing power, only sovereign states. Theories can be used as a sort of lens to find patterns in the behavior of states and determine how likely cooperation is in the international system. In this essay, I will be presenting the Neorealist argument that states are self-interested actors concerned with security and survival, and the Neoliberal Institutionalist…

human nature. He wanted the people of Gotham to understand that deep down everyone is as evil and cruel as he is. He did things without remorse, without regret. He killed innocent people for no reason. The Joker enjoys creating chaos and introducing anarchy into different places. He seems almost devil like. “There are some people that just wants to see the world burn Mr. Wayne” –…

Agreeing with civil disobedience is ok when there are unjust laws that force people to break certain laws. However, if there are not unjust laws there should not be a reason why laws are being broke. Civil disobedience is also known as the refusal to obey certain laws or governmental demands for the purpose of…
