...THE CAUSES AND EFFECT OF THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION The Haitian Revolution represents the most thorough case study of revolutionary change anywhere in the history of the modern world. In ten years of sustained internal and international warfare, a colony populated predominantly by plantation slaves overthrew both its colonial status and its economic system and established a new political state of entirely free individuals—with some ex-slaves constituting the new political authority. As only the second state to declare its independence in the Americas, Haiti had no viable administrative models to follow. The British North Americans who declared their independence in 1776 left slavery intact, and theirs was more a political revolution than a social and economic one. The success of Haiti against all odds made social revolutions a sensitive issue among the leaders of political revolt elsewhere in the Americas during the final years of the eighteenth century and the first decades of the nineteenth century. Yet the genesis of the Haitian Revolution cannot be separated from the wider concomitant events of the later eighteenth-century Atlantic world. Indeed, the period between 1750 and 1850 represented an age of spontaneous, interrelated revolutions, and events in Saint Domingue/Haiti constitute an integral—though often overlooked—part of the history of that larger sphere. These multi-faceted revolutions combined to alter the way individuals and groups saw themselves and their place in...

No harm is being done to the other party when ones actions are silent. They might be silent but are powerful by all means. A free society says it all in the name FREE. Free actions, speech and movements. So why wouldn't it be a positive impact. Rosa parks was a civil rights activist during her time and is known for her leadership role in the civil rights movement. In 1955, Rosa parks sat on a bus and there was no more seats left for a white man to sit down, so her row where she was sitting at was commanded to stand up and move to the back of the bus. Four people in the row Rosa Parks was sitting at...

...for Labor Studies and the Department of Labor and Employment. Abstract This paper examines the readiness of Philippines for worker mobility within the region of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It focuses on the implications of the impending establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community by 2015 as specifically governed by rules and regional commitments on free flow services, mutual recognition of qualifications and skills, movement of natural persons, and movement of skilled labor. 1 I. INTRODUCTION It is 2016 Filipinos can freely move for work anywhere in the nine (9) countries that comprise the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN. Indonesians, Malaysians, Singaporeans, Bruneians, Myanmar, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Laotians can also do the same in the Philippines. Just the previous year, in 2015, the ASEAN Economic Community, as envisioned by ASEAN leaders in 2007, formally came to being, ushering in a region with a single market and production base characterized by free flow of goods, free flow of services, free flow of investment, freer flow of capital, and free flow of skilled labor. Like other ASEAN peoples, Filipinos, have now become more mobile across this regional economy. What has just been illustrated is a scene in a future that takes shape in the ASEAN Community established through the Declaration of Bali Concord II (ASEAN Concord II). Agreed upon by ASEAN members in the 12th ASEAN Summit in 2007, ASEAN Community will have been...

Civil disobedience is one of the best ways to show your disagreement in a democratic government. Movements such as the Civil Rights Movement or the Flowers v. Guns have shown that if enough people support a cause then there will be change. Some could say current movements aren't as effective but Rome wasn't built in a day. Many of the past movements took years to accomplish the goals of the people. All...

... and it ended up putting his own life in danger. With his courageousness, and vision he helped advance the African American community in society. African Americans were used as slaves for much of early American history. Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation finally set them free on January 1, 1863. However, just because they were set free did not mean they were equal. Abraham Lincoln did not agree with the institution of slavery for different reasons than most people. He did not necessarily think they were equal to their white counterparts, but he thought freeing the slaves would help crush the south during the civil. Freeing the slaves in the south would effectively crush their economy and infrastructure. Their society’s base was the hard would of the slaves, and without the hard work of the slaves the society would crumble. White people would have to do the work they only saw fit for an underappreciated slave. Even though freeing the slaves was a war tactic, Lincoln had always been against slaves. His Father was an unskilled worker, and it was almost impossible for him to get a paid job when there were slaves to do the work for free. As stated previously, even though the slaves were free, they were not equal by any means. They could just go on their way, and did not have to work for...

...commonwealth, has the power to enact laws which are just and convenient to all men; and these make up the law of nations. From this it follows that those who break the law of nations, whether in peace or in war, are committing moral crimes […]. No kingdom may choose to ignore this law of nations, because it has the sanction of the whole world. The ius communicationis of Vitoria was upheld and developed by Hugo Grotius (1583-1645). Grotius not only endorsed the view of Vitoria, but he also refined and enriched the principle of free movement by delineating its key components: the right to leave one’s own country and the right to remain in a foreign country, as the two sides of the same coin. Hence, while Vitoria set the scene for the free movement of persons under international law, Grotius consolidated and detailed its very...

...would be a chance for their religion to survive. Among several different groups of people and their religions trying to gain the largest following, many ideas and people collided. This collision began many years of protests, fighting and wars. There was much tension toward many religious groups but there was a strong opposition between Protestants and Catholics. Protestants and Catholics view many beliefs in the same light but there are beliefs that separated these two groups. There were beliefs that separated Protestants from each other, but most of them began their beliefs protesting against Catholicism. Protestants were not developed in America. For Protestants,"Europe was the original scene of operations. The opening event was a movement that today goes by the name of Protestant Reformation."(Nuesner, 1994, p37) Catholic groups have their own reformations but for Protestants this was the beginning of their journey. The Reformation began because there were many leaders who did felt, Catholics were operating in immoral ways. Actually, Protestantism was a branch of western Christianity, the branch that opposed the Pope. Many people were concerned with trying to revise the ways of teaching the Church. Many Protestants shared most of the same belief as most Catholics. Since there were many different divisions of Protestants it is difficult to refer to Protestants as a whole, who agreed or disagreed with Catholics. Therefore, when comparing...

...EU solidarity The broad concept of EU solidarity is said to be the underlying aspiration of the integration of the people of Europe and is guaranteed by the following freedoms: * Free movement of persons / workers * Free movement of goods * Free movement of services * Free movements of capital Central to the European Union is the concept of unification of nations with the emphasis representing recognition of the autonomy of individual states. Free Movement of Services & the Internal Market Article 56 of the EC Treaty guarantees companies from any European Union Member State to be able to establish themselves in another European Union Member State and provide services on the territory of another European Union Member State or on that one which they are thus established in. Companies established in one EU Member State are therefore able to provide services in any of the other EU Member States. The internal market is the market within the European Union, a market not based simply on the individual Member States but across all Member States and is achieved through the free movement of services and the free movement of goods throughout the European Union. Benefits of the Internal Market Since the creation of the internal market and in the ten years following the first completion of the first Single Market programme in 1993 the following tangible benefits were recorded: * 2.5 million extra jobs created due to the removal of national barriers ...

...America was founded on the desire for free speech and a hatred of over censorship. People have always found ways to abuse free speech and for that reason there is a term called hate speech. Groups like Westboro Baptist Church use hate speech to spread their message. Hate speech is not easily defined because of the tricky bounds of America’s free speech law. This has helped movements like the Pro-ana movement stay alive and mostly unchecked. With eating disorders plaguing so many people this could be dangerous for any minors on the internet. Hundreds of people die every because of eating disorders and many people develop body issues at very young age.

...Ever heard of free cycling? Freecycling is when a person passes on, for free, an unwanted item to another person who needs that item. From silverware to mobile homes, people worldwide are choosing to freecycle rather than discard.This idea was devised in May 2003 by Deron Beal in Tuscon, Arizona in the form of the freecycle network. The Freecycle Network is made up of 5,069 groups with 9,152,735 members around the world. It's a grassroots and entirely non-profit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns. Its mission is “to build a worldwide gifting movement that reduces waste, saves precious resources & eases the burden on our landfills while enabling our members to benefit from the strength of a larger community.” It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by local volunteers (them's good people). Membership is free. The annual budget is running at about $140,000 in income. The funding comes from corporate underwriting, on-site advertising (in the form of a Google sponsor bar), grants and individual donations. Approximately 90% of these funds are used directly for program expenses. The remaining 10% is split evenly between membership, fundraising and other administrative expenses. Major benefits include freeing up space in landfills and cutting down on the need to manufacture new goods. Thousands of such groups dedicated to connecting people who want to give away...

...their own personal identity to stay under the radar and avoid being labeled a misfit. This leads to the abdication of free will. In Taylor Swift’s recent music video “Shake it Off”, she uses both her lyrics, and images in the video to display to the audience how free will is discarded to obtain collectivism. When initially listening to the song, one first notices the happy and upbeat background music. Background music is often regarded as the most essential piece of a song as it is the biggest contributor in giving the audience their first impression of the song, the message. As explained in Dramas, Fields, and Metaphors: Symbolic Action in Human Society, first impressions are more than just the initial establishment of a person. First impressions create the foundation of one’s characterization of another and are the hardest to forsake in an attempt to change. Taylor Swift incorporates a very fast paced, upbeat background in her song. This generates a very positive and happy impression making the audience think of her as a cheerful buoyant person. Swift’s immediate attempt to make the audience like her is very similar to how people work hard to make others like them. Sometimes, people try so hard that they become someone else. Today, many people conform simply to get others to “like them.” One key example of this is the “Pratfall Effect” where when a person makes a mistake or appears clumsy, they are found to be more likeable. This is because when one makes a mistake,...
