Augustine a law that is not just is no law at all. As a result of this, these laws do not stay in your conscience, except at times when you need to avoid conflict because is still the law and it needs to be followed. Matthew stated, “If a man…Take away your coat, give him your cloak also; and whoever forces you to go one mile, go the second within” (Matthew 2). This quote seems to explain that if someone takes something away from you, you should give him more than what he asks for and make it…

Therefore some may argue it to be inevitable that Britain found such movements very difficult to control. This is includes the violent Mau Mau Rebellion of 1952 which is proclaimed to have been unexpected, but believed to have triggered reform and Kenyan independence in 1963. Also, Malaya and Cyprus too saw the occurrence of popular and unexpected demands for independence which increased Britains expenditure on defence causing in some cases the problem to escalate and therefore creating foreign…

It can be argued that Germany knew that each of these policies would cause conflict with the other powers, and that they were introduced not only for the purpose of making Germany a great power but also to instigate a war. In his first years in power Caprivi attempted to untangle the complex system of alliances and commitments Bismarck had created during his long stay in office, and it can be said that his most important decision in accordance with Weltpolitik was his decision not to renew the…

Upon first glance the films Pinky (1949) and Lost Boundaries (1949) appear to be progressive. They portray controversial ideas such as miscegenation and equality between whites and blacks. But are these films really trying to make a statement of equality? While on the surface Pinky and Lost Boundaries, make a contentious political statement; in actuality they make a mockery of the idea of egalitarianism. The film Pinky addresses the questionable idea of a mixed race couple and of a black…

Throughout the vast majority of human history, governments have provided a multitude of services, protection and guidance to their citizens. These services have come at some sort of cost to citizens, while others are given (seemingly) freely. However, these services and protections have not always been available to all of a state’s citizens. Much has changed over the years in governments. Most of this change has happened in the last 100 or so years for the United States government. Women’s…

Society has this understanding that in order to be part of one culture you are not part of another. Not only are you not part of the other but they are mutually exclusive meaning that if you are part of one culture, in this instance the black culture, then you cannot be part of the other, mainstream culture. This notion of biculturalism is generally assumed by most individuals but in All Our Kin, Stack proceeds to present a different implication as to where Blacks are both committed to black…

"Is it possible, and probable, that nine millions of men can make effective progress in economic lines if they are deprived of political rights, made a servile caste (…)? If history and reason give any distinct answer to these questions, it is an emphatic No"(Du Bois 889). Du Bois argues that blacks cannot climb the economic ladder without equal rights. He claims that blacks are being treated as servants because they do not have equal rights and opportunities as white men. In Ralph Ellison 's…

In 1901, Australia became an independent nation. Though, it still had a close connection with its origin, the British. According to realism, state is the highest authority, power is crucial, war is endemic so wishing for peace is utopian (Bisley, 2013). The best way to maintain security is to maintain alliance between states. At that point of time, Australia believed that its security was heavily dependent on the stability of major powers in the Europe. Thus, from 1900s to pre-World War 1, it…

The short story that I decided to analyze is Ralph Ellison’s Battle Royal. This short story to me implied how in essence, we are not so different from our (black people) slave ancestors. A quote in the story where he says, “I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed of myself for having at one time been ashamed.” This quote epitomized the whole short story for me. It displayed how different the invisible man point of view was from when he was narrating the…
