How Does Systemic Violence Affect The Tramp

Chavez begins his rationalization reminding the audience of the vigorous efforts Dr.King displayed in his cause; comparing and contrasting violence against non violence. Chavez explicitly states violence leads to nothing more than “injuries and perhaps deaths on both sides” as non violence is “supportive and crucial.” His variation in diction deriving from descriptions of deaths and injuries as opposed to the righteous dignation convinces readers with what they would prefer. Similarly, his mentioning of violence as being harmful to “both sides” helps bring clarity to a point with lack of bias, and demonstrates how violence is damaging to all equally, regardless of his position on civil rights. He later moves on to once again explicitly stating distinct contrasts.

In paragraph five and six he describes what effect nonviolence can have on people to how it can change. Chavez uses pathos to show how the poor are struggling. Chavez uses detail to consider who the people are and what they’re feeling. The speaker observes that, “a direct appeal from the poor struggling nonviolently against great odds, they will react positively.” He uses detail on describing people; giving examples and explaining emotions by making connections. The speaker argues that, “If we resort to violence then one of two things will happen: either the violence will be escalated and there will be many injuries and perhaps deaths on both sides, or there will be total demoralization of the workers.” This analyzes imagery used to appeal to emotions, and determine the consequences of

Due to the lack of peacekeeping experience in the volunteers, they had no other option than to open fire on the crowds. In total, nine people were dead by sunrise (Source 2). After the second night of the strike, national newspapers reversed their opinions of the police, including The LA Times, writing "...no man's house, no man's wife, no man's children will be safe if the police force in unionized and made subject to the orders of the Red Unionite bosses." (Source 3) Coolidge would have no sympathy for the strikers, calling them "deserters" and "traitors", despite a fair number of them being World War 1 veterans that defended The United States and its ideals overseas. Even Samuel Gompers, the chief of the AFL was worried with what would happen next if he couldn't persuade the Boston police to return tot he bargaining table before more people and property could be harmed. Curtis would not sway to his neutral suggestion and refused the officers a chance to work for the force again. The entire force was replaced after this incident. National troops were summoned to pull the brakes on the strike and break up any

He argued that social conflict-struggle and strife was at the core of society, the source of all social change. Marx believed there are two classes, bourgeoisie (owners and rulers) and the proletariat (the industrial workers). (Basirico, Cashion, & Eshleman, 2014). In other words, the rich and the poor, the have and the have-nots. Theorists believe that the government and the elite control the lower class and influence and encourage lower classes and minorities to be impoverished and dependent on government. Marx’s theory considered many circumstances of inequality of race, economic, religious beliefs and social and economic differences. There is a constant war between these groups laying the foundation of a changing nature of society. (Basirico, Cashion, & Eshleman, 2014). As in many of the recent police-involved shootings, the victims are often portraited as upstanding pillars of the community and become the symbol of all that is wrong with societies interactions with law enforcement. The African American communities believe they have been unjustly and unfairly targeted by the police and are be systematically executed, thus justifying the civil unrest and rioting. As described in SOCI 200, statuses come with a responsibility to act a certain way. African-Americans now believe that police are acting as judge, jury, and executioner in the related shooting deaths of blacks. (Basirico, Cashion, & Eshleman,

Rather than only looking at the present or taking it day by day, both characters consistently bring up the beautiful world they wish to revisit. These opposing ends represent two very different sides of life, one they desire to

2. Structural violence are systematic ways in which social structures harm people by excluding the disadvantage individuals. In our nation we value some people more than the other if they are whites, rich, and if they have some sort of power such as political power and those people’s social status allows them to access better education, better healthcare, better jobs, better housing, better neighborhood. The rest of the people who are not privileged are valued less and therefore our society disallow them to access services the privileged folks have and that is called structural violence. “Structural violence is not natural or accidental, rather it is connected to our policies” (Lecture). Our policies allow minority, poor, and people of color to be oppressed. Structural violence is everywhere in the U.S. One example to that could be schools. My son was bullied and beaten when he was in the second grade and I

“Who gets killed in the case of violent revolution? The poor, the workers”(Article). Cesar Chavez states this in his persuasive article fighting for nonviolent resistance rather than violence. There is a wrong and a right way to deal with people or laws one is against and that is what Chavez tries to convey in this article. He uses different strategies to try to convince the readers that violence is not acceptable, and there are better ways to handle anger.

The article, “Health Disparity and structural violence: How fear undermines health among immigrants at risk for Diabetes” describes how an individual approaches day to day living and health of which fear is a dominant feature. The writer of this article pointed out various dimensions of fear based on data collection with a Hispanic immigrant population in New Mexico. These dimensions are cost, language, discrimination, immigration status and cultural disconnect. According to Galting, 1969, structural violence refers to some social structure or institution that harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. According to Farmer, et al (2006), these dynamics are structural because they are embedded in the political and social world and violent because they cause injury.

Chaplin affirms that one of the main reasons for his success is that he makes films that portray what an audience wants to see. “Even the most inoffensive of us has sometime or other conceived the grotesque idea of pulling those millionaire whiskers––just a fleeting, absurd idea” (Chaplin 6), states Chaplin. As the audience has an innate desire to see a high-class business man lose their composure and status, they also have a desire to see hope in dire situations. The same

A life with no creative outlet or freedom of expression is arguably no life at all. The model Victorian woman is one who does not even have these basic rights. She is expected to devote her entire existence to her family and run the household that her husband owns. This ideal woman is supposed to have minimal care for her own ideas, curiosities, and emotions; leaving her unable to express her creativity or intellect. Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” discusses the “awakening,” the realization of her freedom and potential to express herself, of the main character, Louise Mallard.

Structural violence can come from individual, social and political bearings. Although structural violence is not derived from anyone

My example that I will be using is Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin. Modern times is a film developed after the industrial revolution. It serves the purpose of critiquing capitalism and the social world. Modern Times begin with a factory worker who starts developing anxiety through the lack of breaks and repetitive work. When the Worker is on break, his boss is always keeping an eye on him and demands him to go back to work due to the loss of production. Soon after, the factory worker goes on lunch break, but is again distracted by his boss due to the desire to try out a new lunch contraption. At first, the new technology seems to work since the factory Worker was being fed. But, after a few seconds the contraption goes haywire and starts hurting the worker. The factory Worker goes back to work, but suddenly starts to mess up. He goes around ruining all his co-workers’ work and even get himself in prison. However, he ends up saving all the cops from the inmates’ revolution and is released early from jail. He does not want to leave since he is treated properly in jail and will be homeless in the outside world. He tries to get himself in prison again, but meets a beautiful woman Gamin who is also homeless and workless. They run off together and commit burglaries to feed themselves, but is soon discovered by the police. They manage to escape and run off to live in a small house by themselves. The factory Worker and the Gamin decides to have lunch together, but finds out that a

The term violence brings to memory an image of physical or emotional assault on a person. In most circumstances, the person affected due to violence is aware that a violent action has been performed on that person. There is another form of violence where the affected individual, in most cases are unaware of the violence inflicted upon them. These types of violence are termed as structural violence. Structural violence is a form of invisible violence setup by a well-defined system, to limit an individual’s development to his full potential, by using legal, political, social or cultural traditions (Winter and Leighton, 1).

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.

The movie In Time was Directed and written by Andrew Niccol in 2011. The movie's main premise is that in the future humans are now engineered to stop aging at 25 years and given one more year to live. In this universe time has now a double value as it is used economically to make exchanges but it also represents the time till your death. As a result, society have been divided groups, some live with minimum wages which puts them every day on the brink of death, but also a small group of people who get to live forever and live in the highest of luxuries. Which makes it a question, how is the movie In Time, a reflection of the life’s of American citizens in respect to their socioeconomic status of the United States between 2010-2016?.
