Black Lives Matter: An Example Of Historical Discipline

Why is there racial tension and political dissension in America? Why did Russia feel its Crimean invasion was justifiable? How did China become an economic power? These questions are answered by a proper understanding of history, helping us to better comprehend the world of 2015. Education’s role needs to be thus: to prepare students as learned individuals and to exist in such an international community. This is why I think history is still incredibly relevant despite focusing on the

History is an important role into being a citizen. History shows the importance of identifying critical skills, and leadership.Without learning about history, citizenship wouldn’t be possible. Having historical events shows how to grow inside communities and within the liberal art division. Learning History shapes who a person truly is and allows growth.

A necessary and common fight for equality has been one that has survived throughout all of man’s existence. Due to recent racial divide and the product of racial profiling, a movement has risen up to combat these common issues. The most recent and most well-covered is the Black Lives Matter Movement. Even though it has been lauded by some media sources and individuals as the next great movement to champion for civil rights, the Black Lives Matter movement is not the same as the African-American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s nor is it likely to be as successful. If the Black Lives Matter Movement continues with discrepancies in ideology, lack of clear leadership, and trends of hate, the movement is doomed to fail.

Imagine the idea of living in a society where you are segregated from your peers as a result of the colour of your skin. Envision living in a place that you no longer wish to call home because the people around you are being eradicated left right and center.

Racist or history? Demeaning or heritage? Questions like these arise when the confederate flag is discussed. People may argue that the Confederate Flag is a racist hate symbol, but ultimately the flag’s roots are benign because it symbolizes history of war, southern pride, and secession of the confederate states. Being entitled to your own opinion is not wrong in itself, but once things are brought out of proportion it can harm others physically or emotionally. Learning the background of the Confederate flag can help some realize its true meaning and prevent more controversy.

Heritage not hate: the motto of so many people who believe that the Confederate flag is a cornerstone of the history of the South and is simply a symbol of those who fought in the Civil War. But the Confederate flag does not just represent the lives of those lost fighting for what they believed in, it symbolizes the racial oppression and White supremacy that kept Black Americans from being treated as people for so long in the United States, preventing them from being able to vote, receive quality educations, and even drink from the same water fountain as a White person in America.

There is history to the confederate flag and most people do not know it. I think that part of the reason why people see the flag as a symbol of hate instead of a piece of history is because people do not know all of the history. If people did their research I think the people would know the history of the flag and they would not see it as a racial hate symbol they would see it as a piece of history.

The Confederate flag has been around since 1861, as a symbol of endless war, and detestation towards African Americans. Today, 154 years later, some states still incorporate the confederate flag into their state flags. The Confederate flag does not show progression in history, rather it is offensive to many groups and should be put to rest, because it does not promote unity in America. The Confederate flag holds America back and keeps our country stuck in the past.

Confederate heritage organizations used the flag widely in their rituals memorializing and celebrating the Confederacy and its heroes. According to historynet.com “In the decades after the flag fad, the Confederate flag became, as one Southern editor wrote, “confetti in careless hands.” Instead of being used almost exclusively for memorializing the Confederacy and its soldiers, the flag became fodder for beach towels, t-shirts, bikinis, diapers and baubles of every description.” People are misusing the Confederate Flag and forgetting the true meaning of what it stands for when it was back in war times. As the dam burst on the Confederate flag material culture and heritage groups lost control of the flag, it acquired a new identity of being a symbol of rebellion and lost the historical context of the

According to Matthew Guterl, “When someone says it’s about history, well, that particular history is inseparable from hate, because it is about hate. It’s about racism, and it’s about slavery”. This explains how to some people will believe the south’s laws and rights, should be used today. That their lifestyle should be used today, and slavery should be a large factor in the economy. On the other hand, some may use the flag as a symbol

On September 18, 1863 Confederate soldiers stood proud at the edge of the battle field raising their Confederate Flag in pride and hope. One hundred and fifty-four years later, that flag is now being demonized from its true meaning by many people. Conflict about this well-known flag has been going on for generations. In Georgia, during the Civil War, the Confederate Flag represented the formation of the Confederacy and hope for success of the Southern states; now some people have turned the flag into a symbol of racism, hate, and many more untrue meanings.

The black lives matter movement can be deliberated to be a new social movement as it looks at some of the actions which are grounded by policy making and the ideology as the root of collective action. A procedures that fits into this movement is the Collective Behaviour Theory. The theory refers to the events that emerge suddenly and don’t often conform to the laws or rules but as in alternative which is often base on the issues at hand. For instance the Black Lives Matter movement came together as a community as their collective identity matches one another. (Being African American or loosing someone to police violence) This also fits under ‘Grass-roots’ as it is driven by the ‘locals’ who are often

The Black Lives Matter movement has swept across America. It 's branched out with chapters in over 31 cities and held rallies and boycotts across the United States(Sidner). The Black Lives Matter movement started with the outrage of the death of a young man. It continues to take over headlines and raise awareness on police brutality and inequality.
