The origin of France’s national motto, “Liberté, égalité, fraternité,” stems back to the oratory of the French revolution. This motto presents an image of complete social equality between classes. In reality, the distinction between the haves and the have-nots was as rigid during the second half of the nineteenth century as it had been during the Ancien Régime. However for the recently established bourgeoisie, there was much more room to manoeuvre. Charles Garnier’s Opéra was built during the…

The two films I watched for this film journal were Harlan County, USA and Salt of the Earth. The two films were both about miners fighting for their rights. Harlan County, USA is a documentary about the Harlan strike in Kentucky. The miners wanted to get better safety measures and pay. The Duke Power Company would not take the necessary precautions to protect the miners from unsafe conditions in the mines. Salt of the Earth focused on the Mexican miners in New Mexico who went on strike…

In the final analysis, the Court’s judicial “activism” has been terribly misguided. Instead of creating constitutional “penumbras” in Griswold, the Court should have upheld the limits on corporate expenditures in Citizens United. Instead of inventing a right to abortion in Roe, the Court should have upheld aggregate limits on individual contributions in McCutcheon. Instead of defining “liberty” in the most broad and unworkable terms in Planned Parenthood, the Court should have held that the…

Although it is evident that slavery has been illegal for approximately 151 years, the social subtleties of white superiority still lives on today. Even during the times of slavery those identified as the yeomen farmers who were considered some of the poorest whites, also supported slavery immensely. This support of racism was an essential part of the system that gave these people legal and social status. In turn, it enhanced the idea that slavery in fact was okay or a necessity. (Green, 3:18) In…

to turn away from traditional mores, searching for more modern ways of living and thinking. Reform and rebellion touched all aspects of society and culture, spurred on by a rising tide of philosophers and liberal thinkers. The Enlightenment and egalitarianism movements prompted philosophical questions about tolerance, social worth, and equality. Stemming from the abolitionist movement, the questioning of a man’s worth bled into other aspects of everyday life, such as the value of a woman and the…

With the legalization of marriage equality over the summer skepticism has arisen about how far egalitarianism will stretch in the name of marriage. The passing of the law for same-sex marriage legalization could create the push for greater fairness in relationships, including polygamy. However, polygamy is still a touchy subject with its more recent and more radical history. It is essential for polygamy to be kept from any future marriage equality changes in American because polygyny causes…

The Yolngu culture, which means, “person”, is among the oldest living cultures on earth. Some researchers claim it is 400,000 years from two different lineages. Forty four thousand years ago the mixing of genes was reported before Australia separated from Papua New Guinea. Researched have stated that humanity could have started in Australia. The Aboriginal people were considered the first Australian. [1] The majority of Yolngu, who number approximately 5000, live in communities of between 500…
