Marcus Garvey

Malcolm X’s document/letter “A Letter From Mecca” was produced in the 1960’s. A period in which the United States violence was at the extremist of conditions. A period in which many assassinations took place, such as our 34th president John F. Kennedy. A time when minorities like the African Americans were promised a change but were never given one. A time in which African Americans were in desperate need to change America and it's infectious disease of racism. The 60’s was a time in which the…

Problems continued to grow for Garvey starting in 1919 when on October 14 he was shot in an assassination attempt in Harlem, New York. In addition internal critiques within the UNIA of Garvey began to arise noting his intolerance of dissent, poor management skills, and ineptitude in directing the organization's finances which he had increasingly used to support his own lifestyle. Even his first marriage to journalist Amy Ashwood (1897-1969) during this period was short lived and ended in…

Malcolm X believed that experiences in one’s life contribute to their personality . Within his own life he experienced the good and the bad elements of society and allowed these experiences to shape who he became. The transformation of Malcolm Little into Malcolm X can be said to have occurred due to events that lead to dramatic change in his life. Violent discrimination against his family, the loss of his parents at a young age, the life he leads in Boston and Harlem, and his time in prison all…

The film I decided to analyze was that of “Gladiator” (2000). It depicts the death of Marcus Aurelius and his wishes that after he dies, a faithful Roman soldier by the name of Maximus Decimus Meridius take his place as emperor. However, Marcus Aurelius’ son, Commodus, takes matters into his own hands to guarantee that he will be the one to be proclaimed heir and ultimately, Caesar. Although, the film explores the history of Rome by including several historical figures, it is mainly based on a…

I really enjoy writing about the philosophical thought that is at the root of this lifestyle we call minimalism. I especially like to write about the ideas of the ancient greek and roman thinkers like Epicurus, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. At the same time, I 've been trying to cover a variety of topics over this first year-and-a-half of blogging, so I haven 't been writing about that particular subject lately. It 's also been a while since I 've read any philosophical works…

Marcus Luttrell once said “No matter how much it hurts, how dark it gets or no matter how far you fall, you are never out of the fight”. From the personnel to the rescue mission all of the actions that the Seals showed was a sign of brotherhood for each other. The Navy Seals involved in Operation Redwing showed acts of heroism, bravery, and courage in their sacrifice for their country. The personnel of Operation Redwing consisted of high military officers in the United States Navy Seals. Petty…

people were, not from years of War but from what I know now as Alienation. I think Karl Marx hit the nail on the head with that one, the people I worked with were miserable! Of all the Philosopers we have studied I think I align more with the Stoics Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus and the Materialist Karl Marx, an interesting combination I know. Like the Stoics I believe that the only thing we can really control is our attitudes and ultimately, through the decisions we make we can influence our…
