Bangladesh Liberation War

For this essay the two films that have been chosen are Pride and Suffragette. Both films are quite recent being released in 2014 and 2015 respectively. For each of the films this essay will go through the accuracy of the films and how they portrayed the historic events. This essay will argue that although there are some inaccuracies with both films, that they both portray a suitable amount of accuracy for these film types. Pride follows the miners strikes and how the gay activists helped, while…

neighbouring countries, Pakistan and Bangladesh, is a rich and luminous tale as it encompasses the countless successes and hardships each country experienced during its development as independent entities. In 2012, Deepa Mehta, an Indo-Canadian film director with a screenplay by Salman Rushdie, a British Indian novelist, produced the film “Midnight’s Children.” Together they brought to the screen a magical yet historical tale on the partition of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The basis of the…

Immediately to “Black Theology and Black Power”, Cone writes and publishes “A Black Theology of Liberation”. There, he reflects his deep commitment to the black struggle for justice from the perspective of Christian theology, which helps African American to recognize that the gospel of Jesus is not only consistent with their struggle for liberation but has a meaning central to the twentieth century America. “Racism is a disease that perverts human sensitivity and distorts the intellect”.

Environmental justice is very ambiguous term as it denotes the need for not only environmental sustainability but also social liberation. Regrettably, not every citizen, politician or business owner is apprehensive about our wilting global environment. To this very day, there are scholars and politicians that contend that climate change and global warming is the rhetorical vehicle for which liberal propaganda can be transported. Consequently, these same leaders in their lofty positions deny that…

In addition to the creation of Gay Liberation Front, a newspaper called Gay was created -- the first of its kind.

Hence, if historians are really interested in making civil rights harder, they need to take the lead and leave the trodden path. Not necessarily by developing new frameworks to counter a White-centered conservative take on civil rights movement with a White-centered liberal or leftist approach, but rather, by developing ways that allow them to capture the different ways and means African Americans expressed their resistance. No matter how long and how much historians tweak on the timeline or…

Catholic Social Teaching is rooted in the love of God. God loves us, sent down His only Son, and gave us the Holy Spirit; we are called to use this as a lesson and to love one another as brothers and sisters under God. Catholic Social Teaching is a guide that teaches us and reminds us how to do so. There are seven distinct themes in Catholic Social…

Ask any young gay where the modern LGBT movement began, and it’s likely they’ll answer “Stonewall.” The Stonewall Riot, a two day period of rioting after a police raid at a gay bar in 1969, is often hailed as the genesis of sexuality and gender liberation in America. However, ask any LGBT historian the same question, and their answer might be much more complex. Although within the modern LGBT community Stonewall is considered the turning point toward true equality, both socially and politically,…
