Authoritarianism

Although John Locke was one of the greatest British philosophers, he played a vital role in the religious and political issues that arose. The government during this time was authoritarian, meaning the people of the community were dictated and controlled by royals without having a say. Locke believed that the government’s most important job was solely to govern the people, in way that was beneficial to them. In fact, without the community there would be no government. Locke’s Of Civil Government…

the Puritans refuse to accept her, much like the Puritans do with sin. Cindy Lou Daniels explores the effects Pearl had on the Puritans in her essay “Hawthorne’s Pearl: woman child of the future” by writing,“‘In Hawthorne's novel, the strict authoritarianism of Puritan patriarchy finds its object in the child Pearl, who, as the living "likeness" of the letter ... becomes the target of the Puritans' efforts to control both human sexuality, and its literary, historical expression”(Daniels…

Through the democratic transition, the article about what is democracy, the authors put out gender and revolution in historical and comparative perspective, identifying two outcomes: patriarchal and egalitarian (Benski, Langman, Perugorría, Tejerina, and Moghadam 2013). Additional research on gender and revolution and on gender and democratic transitions suggests that the following factors shape the outcomes: the ideology, values, and norms of the movement or new government; and the new state’s…

and do not complain. It is better not to complain to the upper manager, but if the person tried to protest or join an organization, work life became harder at work and with coworkers. She pointed out that most working people were living under authoritarianism. Some people hold a misconception that persons living in poverty are lazy, but this is far from the truth. People living in poverty took great pride in their jobs, even when they did not get praised for the job, and continue to do their…

The “working personality” develops with the element of danger. This makes the policeman constantly aware of those who may break the law. This results in the policeman becoming a suspicious person. This causes them to be less likely to develop friendships with any civilians who they may see as a potential lawbreaker (Skolnick, 2000). The element of authority combined with danger can isolate the policeman. Authority can cause the citizens that the officer must protect, to see him as an outsider to…

Both envision dystopian worlds. Both take place in the future. Both revolve around an ordinary man in his thirties with a common name who has a crucial role within his oppressive government and realizes the flaws of his society. Both men desperately seek knowledge and truth. Both men want to enlighten the ignorant members of his society. Fahrenheit 451, which tells the story of a firefighter named Guy Montag, and 1984, which tells the story of a government employee who purposefully falsifies…

Authoritarian/autocratic leadership The authoritarian/autocratic group leader typically is an expert who directs the movement of the group and makes all the strategic decisions within the group or organization (Val & Kemp, 2012; Gill, 2014; Gladding, 2016). Per Gladding (2016), authoritarian group leaders can be charismatic and manipulative and typically believe they understand group dynamics, make interpretations, give advice, demand obedience, and expect conformity. Furthermore, these leaders…

Gilman fluctuates the ownership of power to a significant extent within ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’. The Gender roles in the narrative of the ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ conform to stereotypes for the most part as the Male is a rich, high-ranking physician. Although, John appears to be a caring and devoted husband one could argue that he uses his gender and his developed educational history to manipulate and control the young female. However, to some extent this serves as a comparison to the change in…

My first theme to choose from the fall of the Ottoman Empire to the 2011 against authoritarianism is Zionism. First off, Zionism is the belief that the Jewish people felt that they had a right inherit a rightful state of their own during the end of the 18th and 19th centuries. Jews believed that such a Jewish state should be located around central Europe and even at one time in North America. The decision was later decided that the final resting place was the holy land in Jerusalem, Israel…

Dr. Rank, this character appears in the story as one of the main characters; he takes part of the talks, along with Helmer, Nora, Krogstad and Mrs. Linde. However, at first reading, his role seems pointless and may disappear from the play without changing much the thought of it. This is what led me to analyze his characteristics and his relationship with content of the work, making me realize he is much more important than what it seems. Dr. Rank appears to the readers as a ordinary character in…
