Animal Liberation Front

of his book, James Cone discusses the meaning of liberation from the point of view of a Black theologist. He starts off by explaining how Jesus Christ is the ground of human liberation, reason for which there is no liberation without Christ. He depicts liberation as a divine gift of freedom to those who struggle in faith against oppression, rejecting the idea of liberation as a human possession. The second point that Cone makes regards liberation as freedom being in relation to God. He talks…

unhealthy people have been helped indirectly by animal testing. However, animal testing is beneficial for human only and not for the animals used. Most of the animals which give great contribution to the health of world's dwellers are cruelly slaughtered during experiments and not well treated in drug-development laboratories. Animals, like human, also have rights to be freed from suffering and treated well. We, as human beings, must understand that animals are also living beings which feelings…

What initially seemed to be a regular police raid on a random June night in 1969 turned into riots lasting several evenings, with an impact that would continue to this day. Often people divide the history of the United States’ gay rights movement into two epochs- “before Stonewall” and “after Stonewall”. Accordingly, this distinction illustrates the Stonewall Riots’ individual importance for gay rights even as it was not the first event to highlight the injustices of homophobia. Despite its…

after the riots. Stonewall changed the way people say people of the LGBTQ community and pushed the fight for equality forward. While the fight for equality was a group effort the one of the main person who lead the community into the new age of gay liberation was Marsha P. Johnson. Marsha P. Johnson was a transgender activist born in the early years of generation X and was the first one to throw a brick at stonewall. Before Stonewall and Marsha P. Johnson gay people were scared to even admit…

discontentment came with the women’s liberation movement. In not only the SDS but also various racial movements, women spoke up about the failings of the movements to satisfyingly deliver equality for them as well. Male SDS members notably targeted their female comrades’ statements on equality with gendered slurs in 1965 and published their statements alongside an infantilising cartoon 2 years later. This statement, so cruelly framed, introduced key phrases such as “women’s liberation” and “male…

History of United States is full of ups and downs. So many good things happened that improved the future of of the whole nation, but we cannot forget about the dark side. Wars, gender inequality, and racial discrimination make up the majority of negative aspects. People who are oppressed, abused, and minority look for escapes from their misery. One of those last resorts is religion. Since I am an immigrant who became a citizen, I would use this research paper as an opportunity to look back at…

Theologians describe theology as the study of the nature and science of God. Liberation theology finds that faith is indivisible from impoverished communities, which represents a majority of Latin America. For such a theology, Gustavo Gutierrez points out the important question, “How is it possible to tell the poor, who are forced to live in conditions that embody a denial of love, that God loves them?” By being aware of present situations and questioning the system, showing others love through…

In today’s society, we expect a certain standard in regards to everyday things such as jobs, health care, and the schools that we are made to go to as children. Our country is touted as a melting pot, a place where every person, regardless of ethnicity or race, can live and prosper- in short, the American dream that caused the influx of many new citizens even at the advent of the country. When questioned, many can supply information, no matter how scant, about the civil rights movements that…

In the 1960 's many changes occurred in America that questioned traditional society. From these questions, movements like the Sexual Revolution began to flourish. According to historian Beth Bailey, the sexual revolution of the 1960’s “was built on equal measures of hypocrisy and honesty, equality and exploitation” (Bailey 259). However, the sexual revolution did not consist of just one single movement. Multiple movements transpired at the same time, including the developments amongst women,…

It is very hard to imagine a world where police are harassing and arresting the LGBTQ community just for gathering together in public or simply expressing themselves. This community had their jobs, families, and lives threatened just for being who they are. Unfortunately, this is what life was like before they started to fight back against the oppression. The younger generations have grown up in a society, for the most part, of love, acceptance, and protection for these people. This essay will…
