...Something I found interesting while reading the preparation material, is that this subject fits very well with a quite controversial political discussion. I am, of course, talking about the refugee crisis, and the negative attitudes toward Middle Eastern cultures, particularly in Europe and the USA. The magazine describes very well that the argument from far-right groups about maintaining a clean, European culture is rather invalid. This is because there is no clean culture – multiple groups and cultures throughout history have influenced every other culture. The Viking age in Norway is a good example. We see this era as the root of Scandinavian culture today, but the fact is that the Vikings were very much influenced by catholic culture, for instance, as Norway was Christianized at this...

...his personal sentiments of due respect for the land and animals of America. His hatred of greedy businessmen drove him to activism. In the executive realm, this meant using the federal government’s reach to protect vast swaths lands. Teddy’s vision was “conserving, and later, preserving nature for generations yet unborn” (Ruckelshaus 2016, 187); ultimately, 234 million acres of land was set-aside for the public (189). He was indebted to no large corporations, and hence, was able to focus on the long-term vision and impact that could be set by the presidency. The overall the Progressive Era proved to be a bright time for experts—on various issues including the environment—in government who participated in President Franklin Roosevelt’s “Brain Trusts” and President Wilson’s “the Inquiry” (Greenberg 2010, 205). All of this was possible due to Teddy Roosevelt, who embodied an early form of environmental populism...

...Party that started with Western farmers, demanded free and unlimited coinage of silver to increase the amount of money in circulation. that “Populism means that when money gets scarcer, government shall start up a few hundred printing presses and run out seven or eight thousand millions of paperdollars.” This explanation indicates the weakness of the agrarian communities in the eyes of some of the titans of industry whose profits would have been cut as a result of the proposed inflation- a prime example of the polarization occurring between the owning and producing American classes. As debate over free silver and other financial issues heated up, populists’ drive to force their way into American politics accelerated and gained momentum heading...

...Reconstruction: The process of reestablishing the union to again include the seceded states began during the war and lasted until 1877. Abraham Lincoln believed secession was unconstitutional, and so legally, the Southern states were still in the union. He believed the executive branch, particularly the president, should establish the process of reconstruction and the terms should be generous. As the union army gained control of seceded states such as Tennessee, Lincoln appointed military governors and was prepared to recognize a new state government once 10 percent of the state’s 1860 voting population swore allegiance to the union. Members of congress in 1864 presented their own much less generous plan, but Lincoln did not sign the bill, angering the radical or extreme Republican in congress. Republican in Congress, more interested in punishing the south than Lincoln was bristled at Lincoln’s leniency. In opposition to Lincoln’s plan they passed the Wade-Davis bill, which would have allowed a southern state back into the union only after 50 percent of the population had taken the loyalty oath. Furthermore, to earn the right to vote or to serve in a constitutional convention, southerners would have to take a second oath, called the iron-clad oath that testified that they had never voluntarily aided or abetted the rebellion. Lincoln vetoed the bill, but the battle about reconstruction continued. On April 14, 1865, Lincoln was shot in the back of the head while watching a...

...CONSERVATISM Key concepts 1) Hierarchy and organic society * The term ‘organic society’ refers to a belief, which became entrenched in traditional conservative thought in the latter part of the 19th century. * It was a reaction against the rise of liberal individualism. * It proposes that society is more than merely a collection of individuals, but it is a single entity. * We are connected to each other through our humanity and common membership of community. * Organic society is seen as a reality, which is superior to our own, individual interests. * The ideal organic society – where goals and aspirations of individuals coincide with the goals of the whole society. 1980s – Margaret Thatcher famously challenged this remarking that there “is no such thing as society”, implying that the goals of individuals are superior to those of society as a whole. * Traditional conservatives believe that there is a ‘natural’ order into which each individual fits. * It is normal and natural that society should be divided by a number of strata. * The very rigid feudal system had long since disappeared, but there remained a belief that some kind of class system was inevitable. * Hierarchy like this supports organic society in that it creates an order and stability, which the individualistic society lacks. * Different parts of the hierarchy have different roles that complement each other. * This implies inequality, but an ordered inequality, and one in which...

...3.5 Politics and Reform Segment 5 highlights how legislative issues blocked change endeavors and how African Americans confronted expanding separation amid the late 1800s. The two-party framework created a stalemate in Washington in the late 1800s. The administration experienced issues tending to national issues because of the about even appropriation of force in the middle of Republicans and Democrats. At the point when Republicans won control of both places of Congress and the White House in 1888, they pushed through new financial changes. These changes, in any case, changed the financial backing surplus into a financial plan deficiency. Troubled with the two-party framework and their financial viewpoint, numerous ranchers swung to populism. Ranchers sorted out into the Grange, the Greenback Party, and the Farmers' Alliance. The primary goal of the gathering was to extend the forces of the government to ensure ranchers. In spite of the fact that the Populists never won a presidential race, they motivated changes that were later received by different gatherings. Taking after the Civil War, isolation became possibly the most important factor, and African Americans were confronted with narrow mindedness, roughness, and financial hardship. Empowered by the Supreme Court's choice to upset the Civil Rights Act of 1875, Southern States passed a progression of laws that fortified isolation. Another Supreme Court decision supported "separate yet rise to" offices for African Americans...

...Storrs, L. (2006). Left-feminism, the consumer movement, and red scare politics in the united states, 1935-1960. Journal of Women's History, 18(3), 40-40-67,148. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/203248794?accountid=35812 In the United States, right-wing hostility to female consumer advocates who held federal jobs or had the ear of federal officials was an important source of the crusade against "Communists in government," a primary engine of the Second Red Scare. The hunt for communists in the U.S. government, which began in the 1930s and reached a fever pitch in the 1950s, reshaped the terrain of party politics and halted expansion of the American welfare state. Conservatives' attack on the New Deal-often seen as triggered by the rise of mass production unionism-also was a reaction to the emergence of a consumer movement that was feminist, anti-racist, and pro-labor. That movement was predominantly female and wielded more influence over federal policy than scholars have recognized. Focusing on the League of Women Shoppers, the Consumers' National Federation, and the fate of their members who obtained positions in such government agencies as the Office of Price Administration, this article argues that conservative anticommunists' gendered animosity to the consumer movement was critical to the pre-history of the federal employee loyalty program created in 1947, and that civil servants with ties to consumer groups were prominent among that program's casualties...

...The term “modern” in everyday language means contemporary, new, the latest thing. When we talk about “Modernism” term, modernism is a literary and cultural international movement which flourished in the first decades of the 20th century. It was an intellectual movement and a change that defined itself as the latest thing. During Modernism it seemed like religion and culture fell apart. In modernism people tried to reject tradition and tried new things. This period was marked by large technological advances such as invention of new building material, cars, speed and locomotion. Although modernism brought up innovative and experimental changes, this time period witnessed the First World War and the Great Depression. Those events led people to feel a sense of loss and uncertainty. When it comes to literature, experimentation with the form was another defining characteristic of modernism is not a term that can be described in single term. It may be applied both to the content and to the form of a work, or to either in isolation. It reflects a sense of cultural crisis which was both, exciting and scary. Modernism opened up a whole new pallet of human possibilities at the same time as putting into question any previously accepted means of grounding and evaluating new ideas. “Modernism is marked by experimentation, particularly manipulation of form, and by the realization that knowledge is not absolute.” (Ciaffaroni, 2009). While New York City is in the middle of a heat wave, the residents...

...China The first one is the economy. China's economy has been typically the best-performing economy or among the best-performing economies in the world since 1979 when reforms began, averaging about 7 percent growth. One note of concern, though, is that those conditions that allowed that 7 percent growth are not likely to be prevalent in the years to come, because for over 30 years, China has relied extensively on lower wage rates and export-driven growth. But wage rates have been bid up, as happens; the Chinese are victims of their own success, you could say. And secondly, the rest of the countries in the world are not going through high rates of growth, and they’re not going to be importing the way they had been historically. So, that formula isn’t going to be as successful going forward as it has been. China needs to shift away from an export-driven economy to more of a consumption model. It needs to be mindful about funding its state-owned enterprises, about subsidizing state-owned companies. It needs to lessen its reliance on low-end manufacturing and move up the value chain. By the way, these aren’t my observations; these are observations by Chinese leadership. If you follow any Chinese leader’s speech on China’s economic transformation, these are the points he’ll make. We would call that market rationalism or just normal evolution as a country rises to middle-income status. But there are also some countervailing impulses. There’s a strong streak of economic nationalism;...
