Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was considered to be one of the greatest leaders of the Civil Rights era. In his letter, Letter from Birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is writing in response to a letter that was written to him by eight Alabama clergymen.

Deng Xiaoping on the Anti-rightist Campaign of 1957

As the secretary general of the CCP in 1957, Deng Xiaoping supported the advocacy of Mao Zedong towards the Anti-Rightist Movement. It was through Deng’s leadership that anti-rightist movements were implemented (Deng, 408). In his report as the secretary general, he pointed out that the emergence of the difficulties within the Party was rooted from social and ideological causes: a) First, a large number of the Party members do not belong from the working class; b) there was the rapid growth of the Party, but quality was neglected which resulted from the ideological and political acts to lag ...

Letter from Birmingham Jail

- King points out the unjust segregation laws and justifies the need to use nonviolent demonstrations to push the administration into negotiations. He is also refuting the accusation against him in his involvement in the demonstration. His approach is effective as it arouses the emotions of not only his accusers but the general public. King diverts slightly from his point of view when he begins giving the role of the church.

- King says that it is only logical to demonstrate to force the administration into negotiations since it had refused to negotiate when approached in a civilized manner. ...

Introduction

The impact of religion in the country’s politics and development occurs where there is no separation between the State and Religion. In the Western countries, as they went through a period of modernization, they grew a line of distinction between the State and Religion. However, it has been different in the developing countries. As time has continued, there has been a merger of the State and the country’s dominant religion in controlling the politics of a country. In this paper we shall analyze the impact that Islam, Catholicism and Protestantism has had on the politics of certain less developed countries.

Abstract

Freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of association, freedom of assembly and petition are all part of this great nation’s democratic freedom of expression. Protected by the First Amendment, freedom of expression, as the Supreme Court has written, is the matrix of every other form of freedom. However, this freedom has been on many occasions misused, especially during times of national crisis. In 1984, during a Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, one Gregory Lee (Joey) Johnson participated in a political demonstration to protest against the then President the late Ronald Reagan and some Dallas-based corporation’s policies.

History of the Habsburg Family

The Hapsburg domination of the Austrian republic started early in the 11th century where the house of Habsburg started developing their empire. The empire was made up of several estates controlled and ruled by the Habsburg family. The monarchy was made up of Germans, Czechs, Bohemians, Croats, Slovenes, Dalmatians, Hungarians, Poles and the Italians who made up the Habsburg Monarchy. The house of Habsburg produced the kings who ruled this empire from the early 11th century through to the 18th century when the monarchy became extinct (Armour, 2012).

The National Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was created when a treaty was signed in 1949 by all the Allies except for the Soviet Union after World War II. That means that approximately 65 years after WWII ended and thirteen years after the end of the Cold War NATO is still active. The NATO website states that there were three main reasons for creating NATO. One reason was to build an organization of countries that could rely on each other to work together against any threat from the Soviet Union.

This paper is going to be a continuation of the historical character essay written about James Gray, a young Caucasian male in his early thirties who lived during the latter half of the 18th century in Boston. Boston at that time was one of the freest, most populous and most productive (and therefore most profitable) British colonies in the present day United States of America. It is also important to note that James lived at a time when Boston and the rest of the colonies were set to start a civil war that would later on lead to the abolishment of the ...

A corporation is a legal business entity whose members have limited liabilities. This means that incase of liquidation, the owners only lose the business assets and the employees their jobs but not any private property. They are mainly created by a body of persons or entities that come together and form one business operating unit (Zerk, 109). Corporations are considered as real persons and can be convicted and are also allowed to exercise human rights just like individual human beings. Picketing is the act of people gathering up in a designated area like in front of a company entrance to make their ...

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. The elections took another twist because a runoff was declared between two Black candidates: a republican and a Democrat (Cuban American). In Dude, eighty percent of registered voters at that time were Democrats while sixty percent were affiliated to the Republican Party. This twist offered scholars the perfect opportunity to unravel this myth: ...

Business in politically unstable countries faces reduced chances of achieving the business objectives.

Despite displaying the features of an emerging economy and creating a perception that things are improving in the year 2008, a closer look at Egypt reveals otherwise with major economic and political problems hidden underneath.

The demonstrations that were held in Hong Kong scuttled the country’s democratic progress. History depicts that the democratic process was put underway in the 1980’s, even though the process set off in the year 1997.It is also claimed that, people in Hong Kong were free in terms of their personal freedoms and their rights, up to the time when democracy was introduced(Zheng, & Cheung, 2014). In this regard, it is therefore seen that the aspirations of the protesters tend to be valid, though they should have an understanding that the democratic model has its framework from the ...

Riots that broke out in Hong Kong, set a difficult choice before the Communist Party of China. Violent suppression of protests in the 7.2-million-autonomy may deter investors from it and harm the economy, while mild reaction would encourage dissidents and separatists on the mainland with a 1.3 billion population. The unrest in the heart of Hong Kong began on September 26. Organization that gathered demonstrators "Occupy Central with love and peace" was planning to organize a movement by the scenario that broke out in New York in September 2011 "Occupy Wall Street", which provides blocking important administrative buildings (Campbell).

[Subject/Course] [Submission Date] Earth Day is celebrated on a global level on 22nd April as a holiday with its focus on spreading green awareness and imparting environmental education. It was founded as a particular holiday in 1970 with an aim to create a mass movement about environmental issues. Senator Gaylord Nelson was the innovator and creator of this particular day who got inspiration from the 1960s antiwar protests. The movement was started for the maximization of university students’ numbers so that they could participate in the “teach-in on the environment” on a national level. If truth is told, Nelson had the hope ...

A leader is a person who has acquired a mandate to direct a group of people to achieve a certain goal. For individuals to qualify to be good leaders they should possess leadership qualities since not everybody can lead people as the achievement of that position is much like a calling. It is traditional for societies to select one person who could guide the rest of the people for a common goal, and the societies without leaders have never succeeded to achieve their objectives. Many are times that the societies have selected people with poor leadership qualities thus leading them into serious problems such as ...

History

Part 1 The Coming Insurrection is a product of the failure of the earlier models. As depicted from the article, the earlier models offered a way of resolving the social conflict, experienced in the society, between the working class and the owners of the means of production. Like explained by Marx in his theory of Capitalism; the owners of production, who consist of the upper class in the social strata, use their economic power to oppress the working class. Consequently, the working class comes together and organizes strikes and other forms of resistance to the exploitation. Eventually, the strike becomes a ...

Until then, the use of social media was entirely described as bringing people from different parts of the world together to socialize and update one another on the various cultural and social activities around them. Social media is the current social trend that almost every person is using to get keep up with the current events and also interact with friends and families. However, after the 2011 protests in most Middle East and ...

It is common knowledge that the United States of America is a country of immense opportunities and equal rights founded by a group of refugees from the British Empire who sought possibilities to enjoy civil rights; however it was not until the second half of the 20th century that African Americans were granted such a franchise. If there was one event that was so crucial as to determine the way the whole nation would be moving for years to come, it was Civil Rights and Black Power movement. It came to pass that racial inequality, apartheid or racial segregation got to the ...

Individuals need common or collective power to keep them in awe and to direct their action to the common benefit. To erect that one common power, then we have to give all our strengths to one man or an assembly and reduce all our wills to one will which is spearheaded by the man or assembly which we collectively erect to be our representative in bringing our interest easily than when we act as individual. The erection of such a common power will have unlimited right and can access privileges that an individual or a group of non-united individual cannot acquire. ...
