Anti-Catholic Riots

non-violent protests that caused the government to get into action as a result of failure of court

These events of protest occurred in 1999. Protesters around the world gathered in places like Seattle, India, and all over Europe p rallied against capitalism. At these events, people asked for a peaceful change from capitalism to communism. Even though these places stayed capitalist, many people still believe that there should be governments using the communist ways. Although these protests didn’t reach their goal, the debate is still fought over(Patricia Levy).

Student Demonstrations - The student demonstrations began due to the rise off tuition fees made by the government that soon lead to rioting and protests from the students. These demonstrations effected the Public Services greatly as the majority of Police Officers were on the streets trying to prevent the rioting from getting out of hand and too dangerous, while the Ambulance Service and Paramedics were on standby ready for any casualties if the situation escalated. The demonstrations showed both students as well as the Police in a bad perspective. A couple of ways in which the media did this was by only showing

According to Karl Marx’s Theory, taken from his “Communist Manifesto” the struggles between the upper class and the lower classes will eventually lead towards civil riots and possible even a revolution. While Aristotle’s Theory in “Poetics” argued that social change is inevitable and a “means to an end”. The book “Twilight”: 1992 by Anne Deavere Smith exemplifies these ideas through the use of multiple perspectives from individuals who witnessed, participated or in someway were affected by the Los Angeles Riots of 1992, which she personally interviewed.

The 60s were a very action packed time. There were a lot of different events going on including political changes, war, and rioting and protest. Most of the rioting was taking place by the youth of not only America, but in fact people from all across the world. With such a large number of protesting, there is a certain level of contrast between the how the youth organized and was able to protest. For example in “Takin it to the streets” the students would learn different protesting method from one another, “When Italian students occupied of the University of Rome, a group of young Germans rushed to Italy to see how the Italians did it”. Compared to in “Voices”, they looked to the vietnam war for their inspiration. According to Tariq Ali, a

During the past Winter, impoverished peasants united in the streets demanding change. This natural gas productive country was depleting its resources by the minute. Only the educated few spoke against the tyranny. Located in the usually serene central region of Niyguenta, riots surrounded the Capital of Tenkita. However, the protesters were pushed back by the Regime's loyal and highly paid Military Guards with rounds of teargas, and fatal

The Jews were never allowed to become ordinary subjects. They were under protection of the crown, lived in their own city quarters and paid taxes directly to the crown.1 I think the results of the riots in 1391 was a precursor to the Spanish Inquisition. The riots were not solely founded on exasperation of the economy led by clergy, but a desire for religious hegemony. Conversos were the result of this desire for hegemony, forced to convert and then given no religious instruction, perhaps Spain realized that they had failed to create any kind of religious dominance, but had only allowed new heretics to call themselves Christians. The inquisition was a response to that reality. Religion and politics in the Medieval World are hard to separate,

In his speech on the riots, Cameron discounted social conditions such as poverty and unemployment as reasons for the 2011 riots, and focussed instead on criminality and morality ‘(Andrews, G. 2014). This essay will compare and contrast this conservative view of the riots with the radical view. A riot is an occasion involving violence directed at property, persons or authority. The current understanding of the term riot dates back to the fourteenth century, when it began to suggest violence and disorder among the population. By the eighteenth-century violence and disorder was on the rise in England, which resulted in Parliament passing the Riot Act of 1715. Conservatism is characterised for their resistant to change, although when it is necessary,

Most people voted to show their political opinion in the 1960s, but there were people who were making themselves visible by utilizing guerilla warfare to try to get their message, government accountability, across. People have expectations of the government, and they are acting out by voting or through violent actions. They wanted power of the people, a democracy. “At the height of the protests the interim government had moved to suspend rights of speech and of assembly, an ironic first act following the democratic revolution’s first elections” (Page 97). Citizens began to protest and hijack the government which led to brutal massacres. The people demanded water and a clean environment, which involved the picking up of their trash on the streets. They wanted better living conditions and job opportunities. Even though this city was built on farm land and not stable for factories, they wanted available job

In the first story, “Cairo: My City, our Revolution” It States how violent rebellion can be because it states in lines 74 -82 “Eight months ago some young protester from 6 April group had been arrested in Alexandra for singing the national anthem, it was instigator the prosecution said. We sang it. On 28 January, standing at the momentous crossroads”.

In Montgomery’s essay, he details the events that lead to and the after math of the riots in antebellum Philadelphia. Philadelphia’s politics were being driven by the economic situation between the unions, their workers, and the factories with religion playing the role of the dividing force between the working class. The riots were the result of an increase in Catholic population from Europe, which caused the native Protestants to become fearful of changes taking place at the public school in regards to the reading of the bible, namely which version of the bible students in public school should read.

Another reason for why these times were much more violent can be attributed to the fact that people’s personalities would have been extremely different to ours today. They were naturally harsher, prone to violent behaviour and a lot more susceptible to the influence of religious beliefs, the latter of which was the cause of many wars throughout history, unlike the more peaceful religious institutions that we have today. In this essay I will discuss two specific times of violence, the Crusades and Joan of Arc, and then some other general points like murder and executions, for example. The next part of this essay will be an example of how religion was a cause of violence, during the “Crusades”.

The outbreak of riots only enables ‘victories here and there’ but in order for the proletariat to establish themselves as a political party and then class (aided and advocated by communists) they have to settle matters with the bourgeoisie. When the proletariat is a ‘movement’ it is ‘the self-conscious, independent movement of the immense majority in the interest of the immense majority.’

So to speak, studying how the protests were represented requires not only analyzing texts or processes of production and interpretation, but also “analyzing the relationship between texts,

The protests began when activists gathered in Gezi Park to protest against its demolition. At first, it was just some angry citizens holding sit-ins. But the numbers quickly grew. Within a week the activists’ tiny-sit spread into 70 cities. Many of the protestors were not
