Essays on Panther

Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States from 1492 to the Present is universally known as one of the most influential, if not the best or most historically sound social history of the United States. Zinn is one of the most famous examples of a kind of historian that was born of a particular moment in American history. Although it was originally published in 1980 it symbolizes the fervor and excitement of the 1960s of the counterculture, the Civil Rights and antiwar movements. Zinn’s book is deeply steeped in these movements and their social ...

The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee or the SNCC, as the name suggests, revolved around peaceful forms of resistance to the white supremacy ideologies that not only warranted the enslavement of blacks in the antebellum period but also cemented the grounds of segregation. In other words, because of the racial divisions that existed between persons of African descent and their white counterparts, American societies functioned around a social hierarchy that made whites the predominantly superior race at the expense of blacks. Now, to end the racial injustices in the Southern States, the first method that the SNCC employed encompassed the “ ...

“The Hunger Artist” is a short story that was written by Franz Kafka that was initially published in 1922. The main character of the story is a hunger artist who remains faithful to his craft and who fears that the people who watch him completely misunderstand him. There is the insight that crowds used to appreciate this kind of “performance”, but that during this time, people refuse to believe in such anymore. One might say that the main idea of this short story is the alienation of many artists from society. The artist has a very troubled relationship with ...

The Musical Arts Concert Series, “Fantastic Beasts,” was very good. I enjoyed it a lot and I could tell others in the audience also thought it was good. Some of the performances I have been to have too many pieces, or the pieces are not placed in an order that is pleasing to the audience.

It began with, “The Lamb.” I thought the text translations were nice; when the choir sang parts that were in ...

Crime and punishment have forever been the main theme within several writings by numerous authors. The theme is enchanting mainly because it renders a sense of closure for both, the characters and the readers. With a crime that is committed towards an innocent, the issue forever remains hanging until the punishment has been rendered. Therefore, one of the evergreen themes for books has been on the lines of crime and punishment. In order to study this aspect of literature, I have decided to study two books -- "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1984) and a ...

Such forms of conduct include, but are not limited to whipping, cold shower, electrical shocking devices and suspension from cell bars by handcuffs.

Most states have no statutes that specifically forbid the use of corporal punishment. Other states, however, prohibit corporal punishment in detention facilities by the statue. The use of corporal punishment to reinforce prison ...

Femicide in the U.S. and Mexico Femicide in the U.S. and Mexico This paper seeks to focus on femicide and physical violence against women in both the US and Ciudad Juarez in Mexico. Femicide is the act of murdering women for the simple reason that they are of female gender (Koutsoyannis, 2011). Essentially, gender inequality is one of the most long-lived social, political, and economic struggles globally.

Franz Kafka is a famous German-language writer, who is widely admitted as one of the major figures of the twentieth-century world literature. He is famous for his novels and short stories focused on the themes of drama and isolation, opposition of a man and society that could not accept him. During his rather short life, Kafka wrote a number of works, which met with recognition from the public only after his death. One of such works was A Hunger Artist, a story he wrote in his declining years in 1922. The aim of this paper is to analyze symbolism ...

As a radical movement, the Black Panthers instilled fear in America at large, especially when members of the Black Power movement marched on the capital of California in Sacramento. The Black Panthers marched with guns to protest and testify to the prevalent police brutality against blacks in Oakland predicated on the rationale that if African Americans did not have the right to self-defense then they had no right to self-termination. As a result, the police were angered and seemingly had the opposite of the intended effects. Popular discourses proffered an image of Africans Americans carrying guns in the Black ...

Some of the notable African American people who were involved in the civil rights movement were Martin Luther king, W.E.B Dubois, Andrew Goodman, Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks.

No matter how dark or light the cougar is in color, it can surely hide in the background within its habitat. Although there ...

The Civil Rights Movement

The Movements of the New Left, 1950-1975: A Brief History with Documents by Van Gosse Hannah Wilson In the 1960s, America underwent a monumental change, and everything changed in terms of its culture, status of specific population categories, domestic and foreign policies, and many other aspects under the large-scale, massive, and irreversible influence of the New Left movements. The 1960s were obviously a highly revolutionary period in the US history, mainly due to the rise of many fundamental social movements such as feminists, civil rights protectors, anti-Vietnam war pacifists, and voting rights.

Civil rights movements have been in existence since time immemorial. They however became very popular in the twentieth century.

Introduction

The mention of Black Liberation Movement (BLM) brings to mind iconic black activists such as Martin Luther King Jr., Assata Shakur, Malcolm X, George Jackson and many others. The influence of these BLM heroes and heroines in America has spread to other movements and ideas about inequality. In the 1960s and 1970s many social activists looked towards prisons for political leadership while considering the prisons to be institutions of oppression and social control (Steinhauer, 2006). Prisoners emerged as icons of state repression and beacons of liberation. In the United States, black prisoners held special sway with their prolific writings ...

The Seminole tribe is the product of an ethno-cultural blending of the Creek peoples from the lower-central Southeast with indigenous Floridian tribes such as the Choctaw, Timuquan and Apalachicolas, some of whom were part of the Muschogean culture. The meaning of the word “Seminole” has been interpreted, loosely, as “runaway” or “broken off” (McReynolds 1957, 12). This refers to the separation of the Lower Creek peoples from the larger tribe, as described by an 18th-century observer. “Runaway,” reported historian Wiley Thompson, was “applicable to all the Indians in the Territory of Florida as all of them ran awayfrom the ...
