The Jews were an easy scapegoat because they have been used in the past multiple times as such, because they are blamed for the death of Jesus Christ. That can be used to fuel the…

The English 1A schema builders increased my appreciation and understanding of essays from 50 Essays, Lila, and “A Worn Path.” In Lila, some of the schema builders that I thought were very helpful were “Black Tuesday,” since it showed how inhumane prostitution truly was in the Depression Era.

Relations Act and the devastating South London riots (Commanding Heights: The United Kingdom Rule of Law). The South London riots occurred only three years before America’s Los Angeles Riots, but the same year they adopted their Race Relations Act, Malcolm X was assassinated. It is evident that this period was very important for the minority community both in America and in the United Kingdom, which is the reason the United Kingdom has always been open to adopt American music.
