Black Lives Matter is making a difference because of the new possibilities that social media offer. In the short span of a year, they moved from demonstrations to policy proposals: Campaign Zero, a movement offshoot, has put forth a comprehensive set of recommendations for potential remedies, and activists recently met with Democratic presidential candidates. This is possibly a tipping-point moment in terms of addressing killings by police. In terms of how social history happens, there is an…

There were 58,220 American lives were lost, during the war. The loss of our soldier's lives is tragic, but compared to the 1.1 million North and 20,000 South Vietnamese men and women who died we should be thankful. Between all of the bloodshed not even the civilians were spared. Over the course of 20 years over two million civilians, both American and Vietnamese, were murdered according to the Encyclopedia…

The movie that I decided to watch was Crash. The reason I picked this movie was because of the actors in it and I felt that this movie would be a good movie to watch for this diversity class. There were numerous racial issues in this movie. First, was Ludacris’s character (the Black man with braids) who believed that all white people were racist and especially towards Black people. Second, was Sandra Bullock’s character (white woman who was married to the attorney) who was racist towards people…

It was universally believed that Ho Chi Minh’s party was certain to win the elections. Diem’s government, on the US advice and support, refused to comply with the decision to hold elections. The US started building the South Vietnamese army to resist the North Vietnamese army and crush the South Vietnamese guerrillas.In spite of US support, Diem’s government was on the verge…

you can have a nice warm drink when it gets cold with their lows of 50-60 but if you're in the north where it is the hottest part of brazil where it gets up to 100 degrees where you will definitely enjoy a nice cold beverage. But if you're in the south where it is only 80 to 70 degrees with low wind and not that much humidity you might like to go for a walk, more toward the west where it rain more and is a little colder you might like to have a bonfire by the beach or something around that…

diversity within a culture, and community involvement. Both cultures find their identity through traditional beliefs, although Saudi Arabia’s is rooted in Islam and South Africa’s is rooted in the power of authentic ethnicity. In terms of religion, Saudi Arabia is much more absolute with 100 percent of the population being Muslim, whereas South Africa- despite having a mostly Christian population- is a mixture of belief systems. Secondly, Saudi Arabian culture is family based- children live at…

To Kill A Mockingbird is a novel that shows segregation between two races and Scout, the little girl and narrator, does not realize what is actually going on. The Ku Klux Klan were a more intense group of white men who were against blacks like the white citizens in Maycomb were but the KKK took it too far. In To Kill A Mockingbird, there are several examples that take place. The KKK was founded on December 24, 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee. Their main goal was to make whites more superior than the…

Throughout the novel The Color Purple, there is a recurring theme of religion. This is evident in the very first letter where Celie opens it with “Dear God”. Celie writes very personal letters to God, where she continuously asks him for guidance. At fourteen years old, she is experiencing many frustrations, and has several questions that she expresses to God. She claims that she has “always been a good girl” and uses this as a justification for asking God “what is happening to [her]”. This shows…

strategy’s. Some examples of those proxy wars include The Korean War, and The Vietnam war. The first proxy war was the Korean War. This consisted of splitting Korea along the 38th parallel, into two administrations, dividing the country by north and south.…

I will prove that the main argument of the film is internally (moral) argument with themselves. I say this because the movie concentrates on how officers are compelled to settle on a decision and that moral conflict can be lost in the soldiers actions during the war. Which Taylor showed throughout the movie while he tries to accomplish his ultimate target goal, which was to survive the war. In spite of having leaving school to volunteer for the infantry, he quickly discovers that the Vietnam War…
