Chavez was able to develop his ethos throughout his speech and define what nonviolent and violent mean and how the society is expressing those words towards each other.

...took place, the Delano Grape Strike. This first protest was held in order to expose the risk in consuming intoxicated grapes. Pesticides not only affect the consumers, but also water, air, and soil. Cesar believed that five of the most dangerous pesticides used in grapes production should be banned because they caused health issues and may lead to death. In Cesar Chavez's Wrath of the Grapes Boycott, given in 1986 in Austin, Texas at a community center farm worker, labor leader and civil right activist Cesar regarding the harmful of agriculture in California, five of the leading pesticides should be banned of use in grapes and any crops. Several reports came out from The New York Times, stated that, "nearly 1,000 California, Pacific Northwest, Alaskan, and Canadian consumers became ill as the result of eating watermelons tainted with the powerful insecticide Aldicarb,” He, then, continued, “labeled the most acutely toxic pesticide registered in the United States." It shows the loophole on the regulations of the use of pesticides. Even though, it was one of the most toxic, unaware consumers were able to purchase those contaminated produces. One of the reports came from the Environmental Protection Agency stating that polluting the agriculture was the urgent matter that needed attention right away. Pesticides were also suspecting to be the main cause, "the illness of over 300,000 of the nation's 4 million farm workers." Cesar, then, added, "of the 27 legally restricted toxic poisons...

.... What real life labor movement was the film Salt of the Earth based on? Based on the book From Out of the Shadows and the film Salt of the Earth, how did women participate and contribute during the miners’ strike? What did the workers and their families gain through this movement? The film Salt of the Earth is based on Cold War politics and Mexican-American labor. Women participate and contribute during the miners strike in many different ways such as feeding the men while they were protesting.

...working conditions. Social advocates of the time pushed states to enact laws to protect all workers wages, allowing all employed individuals an adequate standard of living (National, 2007). In 1912, Massachusetts became the first state to mandate a specific wage for workers. By 1938, twenty-five states soon followed that lead with laws for their workers. However, the success of the wage laws was tempered by courts decisions. The U. S. Supreme Court decided that state minimum wage laws were unconstitutional. The Supreme Court stated that these laws violated employer and employee rights to negotiate fair wages. This decision made the Supreme Court one of the chief barriers to fair wages. The Supreme Court also hindered the child-labor laws. Amongst the noteworthy cases is Hammer v. Dagenhart where the Court held unconstitutional a Federal child-labor law by one vote. In 1923, the Supreme Court by a fine and small leeway invalided the District of Columbia law that establishes minimum wages for women in Adkins v. Children's Hospital. Even more devastating to the new laws in the 1930's, was the Court's decisions on societal based legislation (Grossman, 2007). Roosevelt's consultants designed a National Industrial Recovery Act (NRA) in 1933, under the "New Deal" program (National, 2007). Antitrust laws were suspended by the act so that organizations could implement fair- trade codes consequently resulting with less rivalry and increased salaries and earnings. The President upon...

... | |Mark A Mattaini. Behavior and Social Issues. Chicago:Fall 2003. Vol. 12, Iss. 2, p. 148-163 (16 pp.) | | | Collective violence (including terrorism, gang violence, civil war, separatist ethnic and religious conflicts, and government sponsored wars) is a central concern of the 21st century. This analysis suggests a scientific strategy for reducing such violence by constructing functionally equivalent and highly effective nonviolent collective alternatives. This general approach is the heart of most effective programs of behavior change, but has not yet been used to address terrorism and other forms of collective violence. The paper briefly traces the history of effective nonviolent action, including both strategies to confront and reduce oppression as well as strategies for defending persons, peoples, and social institutions against attack. It then turns to a examination of cultural practices on which successful nonviolent actions have relied, emphasizing a scientific analysis of the behavioral dynamics involved. Both practices directed toward opposition groups and practices that maintain the commitment and action of group members are investigated. The paper concludes with an outline of a program of research for taking these analyses to deeper and more comprehensive levels. [PUBLICATION...

...American schools. The safety of our school facilities has become one of the largest issues in education and has continued to be a concern of great importance. Although the most recent national indicators demonstrate that larger gains have been made in recent years, safety issues remain substantial problems in US school buildings. Between 2004 and 2012, there was a 46 percent decrease in the violent crime victimization rate at school. Despite this decline, students who are between the ages of 12 through 18 were victims of about 700,000 violent crimes and 1.2 million crimes of theft at school in the year 2012. (DeVoe, J. et al., 2012). Among the top trends in school safety are violence, theft, bullying, drugs, and most importantly, firearms. These issues continue to grow in many schools throughout the country indicating that more remains to be done to make our school facilities safer. Furthermore, accurate information about the nature, extent, and scope of the problem being addressed is essential in developing effective programs that support safe facilities. However, as local budgets around the US continue to decrease, school leaders are still left to fulfill new safety requirements for their school facilities. This research paper will address the growing issue of safety requirements as it...

...Normal School was established in a two-storey building in front of and across the street of the present Provincial Building (now Casa Plaza) to meet the future need for Filipino teachers. The minimum requirement for admission was the completion of the elementary education in the old Spanish schools. The first batch of teachers were selected from experienced American teachers. The first principal was Mr. Lutz, who, despite his past sixty years, was a very kind and understanding man. The initial enrolment was about 250 and was divided into 5 sections. By 1903, the school had a very active literary society called Philomathean and had also a strong baseball team. In 1904, Mr. Covell succeeded Mr. Lutz as principal. To accommodate more students, preparatory classes were organized. For the first time Filipino students were selected as government pensionados to continue their studies in the United States. Among those selected were Candido Alcazar, Ambrosio Gison, Delfin Jaranilla, Carlos Lopez, Leon Nava, Balbino Palmares, Graciano Rico, Cirilo Torreblanca and Felix Valencia. In 1905, Mr. Maxson succeeded Mr. Covell as principal. The pensionados then were Geronimo Huising, Isabelo Lagniton, Claro Pendon, and Pedro Sindico. The yearly appointment of pensionados and heavy demand for teachers and clerks in the different government offices greatly depleted the number of old students. The original 5 sections were consolidated into 2 sections. The first section was for more...

...(pronounced [ˈmoːɦənd̪aːs ˈkərəmtʃənd̪ ˈɡaːnd̪ʱi] ( listen); 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing non-violent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahatma (Sanskrit: "high-souled," "venerable"[2])—applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa,[3]—is now used worldwide. He is also called Bapu (Gujarati: endearment for "father,"[4] "papa."[4][5]) in India. Born and raised in a Hindu, merchant caste, family in coastal Gujarat, western India, and trained in law at the Inner Temple, London, Gandhi first employed non-violent civil disobedience as an expatriate lawyer in South Africa, in the resident Indian community's struggle for civil rights. After his return to India in 1915, he set about organising peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against excessive land-tax and discrimination. Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, but above all for achieving Swaraj or self-rule. Gandhi famously led Indians in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with the 400 km (250 mi) Dandi Salt March in 1930, and later in calling for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years, upon many occasions, in both South Africa and India. Gandhi attempted...
