Anglicization In America

The purpose of this book is to educate people on how extremism is obstructing the government from operating smoothly. The core thesis is that when the parties do not agree and negotiations cannot be made due to the uncompromising Republicans, the

Through activating fear and anger in the readers, Singer and Potter attempt to spark a reaction against two despicable enemies. Both of these authors use disturbing facts about the situations in their book to cause a uprising of the common people of the Nation. Both authors have an enemy in their book and both of the enemies are powerful organizations who are unharmed by the reaction of just a few people. Big corporations and anti-terrorist organizations hold a lot of power, and can only be effectively confronted by a large group of people. Because of this, these authors use their books as a way to rally people behind an existing movement as a way to keep it alive and to create a group large enough to confront the enemies.

The most common form of this oppression is manifested in restrictions on public religious expression. All across America, religious organizations and individuals are being exposed to growing limitations on their free practice of religion and freedom of speech. Religious individuals face restrictions on their power to communicate their religious message with others in the public arena. At public universities across the country, as well as at public elementary, middle, and high schools, numerous students and teachers have their freedoms of religion and speech

In Michael Moore’s and Rage Against the machines political music video Testify, the message regarding the conflict of power between the individual and the corporation is conversely different to that of Nineteen Eighty Four. The entity is now in control and this ideology is displayed through the videos empowering low angle shots of individuals raising their left hands in order to ‘testify’ against the authority of the government. But this shot of individuals collaborating, ultimately emerges into a collaboration of thousands of people. Reiterating the power of the singular human being, as the change of mindset of one in many can create large masses, and numbers is power. Zach De La Rocha (the vocalist) pin points what he believes to be the weakness of the government, ‘the people’. “We found your weakness (weakness), And it’s right outside your door,” Zac’s use of threatening tone emphasises the power of the individual when collaborated with others and the menace they impose on the government. "Who controls the past now controls the future...Who controls the present now?" The composer illustrates that although

For the entirety of the United States’ existence, freedom of religion has been a guiding principle for the nation. Despite, or perhaps because of, the deep, varied religious heritage of many Americans, America was the first country in history to abolish religious qualifications for civic engagement. However, paradoxically, the United States also has a history of discrimination based on religion, as seen in historical bigotry towards Catholics, some Protestant sects, Jews, Atheists, Mormons, Muslims, and other marginalized groups. Indeed, a common theme in American history, continuing to this day, is the conflict between America’s secular ideal and its often faith-dominated reality. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, religious

In the Martin’s article, Jerry Martin discussed the “The degree to which professors feel compelled to refrain from saying in public things they say (to their best friends) in private is extraordinary. It can only be compared to how intellectuals behave in dictatorships.” Politically right discourse approaches don't permit teachers to express disputable assessments on touchy and essential parties, confining understudies from empowering and facilitating uninhibited talk inside of the classroom environment and eventually vitiating scholarly opportunity. By undermining the vocations of teachers, with or without residency, who don't consent to the politically remedy philosophy, college organizations warrant a title generally connected with tyrannies.

Part I – Intro: “An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.” (James A. Michener, Space) I am here today arguing a denied, avoided, and controversial topic [Christian Persecution]; and, I am doing this so that I can make the increasing amount of attacks on our first amendment rights known. The injustice here is not only the attacks on Christians’ rights to religious freedom, but also because it is ignored. The rights of everyone are compromised because no matter what religion you identify with or even one at all, there is a precedent being set that denying someone’s right is okay. “1,400 documented attacks on religious freedom, at a 15% increase over the past year and a 133% increase over the past five years.”

In today’s generation, the term fundamentalism is regularly utilized to portray political or religious organizations that individuals promote a strict understanding of their establishing archives or blessed writings. Some however not those gatherings look to supplant

Some young Muslims living in the U.S. experience discrimination in schools, public areas, or wherever an Islamophobic is present. Islamophobia is a term that has been described as someone who has hatred or fear of Muslims (University of California, Berkeley). In fact, 70% of American Muslim Youth have reported some form of discrimination due to being Muslim (Ahmed, et al. 161). Society and the media are sometimes the fuel of Islamophobia, which sometimes transmit from adults to younger generations, which spreads even more from that point on. Due to the negative portrayal of Muslims that is mostly spread through the media, many Muslims are discriminated against in schools; as there is often no real knowledge of Islam except the image that Society exhibits. Discrimination has developed

In addition to the areas of ambiguity, there is the problem of religious ignorance (Giess, 2012; Haynes, 2011). There is a marked and dramatic ignorance among Americans about religious traditions including their own (Giess, 2012). Ignorance is no virtue and especially so when the opportunity to harm one’s students through intolerance and ignorance is more prevalent than ever before. The US, the predominance of the Christian religion notwithstanding, is becoming more and more diverse religiously (Gunther & Purinton, 2011). This type of ignorance is a contributor to the escalation of religious intolerance that has manifested itself in increasing numbers of hate crimes (Haynes, 2011).

In most western countries, religious freedom is accepted as a fact of life. Yet in various countries around the world, oppressive governments infringe on the religious liberties of its citizens. Religious liberty is even under fire in The United States of America, a country recognized worldwide for encouraging freedom. When people are not afforded freedom of religion, their dignity as a human person is being called into question. Religious freedom flows from the dignity of the human person; however, many countries violate this right such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the People’s Republic of China, and even the United States of America.

Fundamentalism makes the twentieth century despondent. It affects almost all major religious traditions like Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Eliminate fundamentalism reasonableness of the faith. Its main feature is a revival, hostility against minorities, anti-intellectualism, arrogance, lack of intellectual and immoral. They are described as resisting the rational discussion, pluralism, freedom of speech, democracy, secularism and choose violence. Fundamentalist movement has no program to increase the level of social equality or economic progress. They can be expected to fall, but it was expected. (A.G. Noorani, 2007)

One major link includes the fight between an oppressed group and their persecutors. Whether it’s the proletariat and the bourgeois in “The Communist Manifesto,” or the inequality of genders in “The Second Sex,” or the flight of the African Americans in the “Letter from Birmingham Jail”. In all of these texts we are shown how easy it is for one group to abuse their power and create unfair rules and regulations only imposed on the more inferior members of society. Each group of oppressor thrives off of alienating, and subjugating their inferiors.

Religious Fundamentalism is not a modern phenomenon, although, there has received a rise in the late twentieth century. It occurs differently in different parts of the world but arises in societies that are deeply troubled or going through a crisis (Heywood, 2012, p. 282). The rise in Religious Fundamentalism can be linked to the secularization thesis which implies that victory of reason over religion follows modernization. Also, the moral protest of faiths such as Islam and Christianity can be linked to the rise of Religious Fundamentalism, as they protest the influence of corruption and pretence that infiltrate their beliefs from the spread of secularization (Heywood, 2012, p. 283). Religious Fundamentalists have followed a traditional
