Both authors contend that scholars play a critical role in activism. Craig, in his foreword, recognizes that activism is a matter analyzing the existing methods rather than plain advocacy. It is the role of activist scholars to produce new knowledge in the science of their interest. Laura Pulido in her article ‘frequently unasked questions about being a scholar activist’ notes that it is rewarding to engage in academic activism owing to the responsibility one assumes. Choices on social issues have consequences for scholars, which they are proud to live with since they are in line with what they believe. Further, Craig notes ...

When sportsmen are at the top of their careers, they are known to have much influence on the people of their generations. They act like role models who are to be emulated by all; their colleagues, adolescents, and other members of the society.

However, Agyemang (nd) argues that currently, there is lack of black male athlete activism. Agyemang (nd) further goes on to argue that this lack of activism ...

Social theorists point on varied views concerning the pattern or tool used by the persons agitating for social change. In any revolution, passing of information from the social activists to the next individual forms the foundation of the revolutionary movement. Evidently, the revolution in 1960’s relied on individual contribution in sending signals of change. In the advent of social media such as twitter and Facebook, the social revolution took a new dimension. People can successfully send signals or messages about change irrespective of their locations.

Stone’s position about the role of social media in bringing formidable social change ...

America in the early 1900s faced a large amount of turmoil and change. From the onset of multiple devastating wars to the vast accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few people to the unrest of racial segregation and discrimination, nearly every person in the nation faced some sort of change or uncertainty. Naturally, some of the writers of the time used this as material for their works. Additionally, these writers, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Georgia Douglas Johnson used symbolism to make their points much more poignant. These writers used symbols such as doors and monsters to represent ...

Role of the president and congress regarding the involvement of the military in wars

As dictated by the United States Constitution, the president is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. This role gives the president power to wage war.

The issue of gangs has been one that has been of concern in the United States for the past 50 years. Many methods and techniques have been designed and formulated to try and curb this social vice.

Education

Introduction

Child development is a crucial process that considers different nuances. In the process of development, a child faces a variety of issues that require constant motivation and guidance. Ideally, the life of a child revolves around motivation and achievements. Motivation in child development refers to the act of arousing a person or a being into appropriate actions with a goal that is desirable in mind.

America has diverse racial and ethnic communities, and this factor plays a key role in the country’s political arena. In this section, I evaluate whether the impact of ethnicity and partisanship on vote swings in a racially diverse community, and in this case Dade County is my main focus.

I choose to take Martin Luther King Jr. on a vacation back in history between 1800 and 1860 because of his passionate advocacy skills regarding the African-American civil rights. His non-violence approach to advance the civil rights based on Christian values was very effective. The fact that he began his activism in an early age and enjoyed a fanatical following from his followers is enough evidence that he would lead reforms such as ending segregation and slave trade early enough. The three places that I will go back are Ohio, Missouri, and California. I will go to Ohio in 1802 ...

Since the rise of the Internet started in the early 90s, the network population has grown from millions to billions. Social media has become a regular stopping point for most, including actors, activists, government organizations, and the everyday citizen.

I had discussed and described the issues in a report titled ‘Arab Springs’ hoping it would support the cause of protesters.

The rest of the tutors only maintained good relationships with relatives and close neighbors that they were close and familiar with. One third of the teachers kept a good relationship with ...
