Robert Bates Fight For Civil Rights

Freedom is a fundamental human right that all Americans enjoy today. Foner defines freedom as the ability of an individual to do as he/she wishes as long as long as the actions are within the law and respect the right of others (2). Accordingly, freedom is among the rights that are anchored in American constitution to protect the civil liberties of all Americans. Today, America is regarded as a democratic country that operates within the rule of law partly because of its respect for human rights (Romano 3). However, history shows that the freedom that African Americans enjoy today did not come easily; rather came after a long and enduring struggle by Civil Rights Movement (1954-1968). It is noted that, unlike white Americans who enjoyed freedom to do as they wished in the early 19th century, African Americans were denied the freedom to operate freely like their white counterparts (Foner 6). Therefore, because curtailing the freedom of African Americans were denying them the opportunity to advance socially, economically and politically, the Civil Rights Movement was formed by Martin Luther King Junior and colleagues to fight against racial segregation and to ensure that African Africans gain equal rights as the whites. This essay seeks to explore the Civil Rights Movement (1954-1968) struggle for freedom and

This research establish weak governance as an enabler for the emergence of security threats in Latin America related to transnational organized crime. Lack of effective action of the administration to provide basic services and proper conditions for the population resulted in alternate ways to get them, with the consequent undermining of the institutions and norms.

This report provides information on Honduras which includes the geography, its society, and government conditions. It offers facts about Honduras’ natural resources and ethnic groups. In addition, the article examines its military and transnational issues including, international conflicts, refugees and drug trafficking. The article provides insight to what controls the economy of Honduras. This article will be useful for my final project because it offers background facts on the level of development.

There are many reasons why the poverty population in Honduras is exorbitant. These reasons can be explained in a macro, micro, and mezzo way. According to Gamble (2013), the practice of macro social work involves intervening in large systems to help clients (Gamble, 2013). Honduras has an extremely corrupt government. The country is as poor as it is violent. In the film, The Other Side of Immigration (2009), citizens were interviewed and asked about their feelings on their government. One man said that he does not trust his government. He also stated that he will not take part in any strikes against the government because he feels that it will do no good (Germano, 2009). Sadly, it is apparent that the majority of the population feel this way. How is a country supposed to flourish without the backing and the security of their own government?

Over the recent years the military has had a greater involvement with aid programs, this was most notable from her experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. Militarization of aid politicizes it for something that shouldn't be political. As the author believes humanitarian aid needs to exist in a neutral humanitarian space in order to remain its legitimacy and maintain close ties to the community level. From one example mentioned in Damned Nations, during the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan, international aid agencies that worked closely with communities showed greater progress and effectiveness (Nutt, 92). In essence this administered a positive attitude towards westerners, and symbolized progress within hostile nations. Aid that is not militarized allows civilians to feel safe access to services and without the fear in putting themselves or their families at risk (Nutt, 92). In comparison military administered aid has proven to lack the same level of trust because civilians inherently become worried about being targeted as collaborators (Nutt, 92). In addition the militarization of aid proves to bring further danger towards humanitarian workers. “Over the past decade, attacks against aid workers have increased 177 percent, with reports of rape, violence, extortion, abduction, and killings” (Nutt, 94). The author states this was reflected from a misjudgment that involving armed militants into

Richard Dobbs Spaight came into this world on March 27, 1758 in New Bern North Carolina. When Spaight's parents died at the age 8, he was sent to Ireland where obtained excellet education. In Spaight graduated from Scotland's Glasgow University before her return the North Carolina in 1778.

The use of Irregular Warfare has been ongoing for years around the world. Irregular warfare is described as a violent struggle among state and non-state actors for legitimacy and influence over the relevant populations. I will discuss where the U.S. may apply military force in conjunction with other means of national power to stabilize the nation of Somalia. I will also discuss why it would be considered as an Irregular Warfare environment.

As I am sure you know, there has been recent violence in Wakanda. The ceasefire of eighteen months between the government of Wakanda—mainly made up of Arabs—and the ethnic groups of the Waka and the Kameeni seems to have ended on the second of April. The same day a British diplomat reported to the United Nations Security Council that twenty thousand citizens residing in the rural areas between the mining territory and the capital of Teimour seem to be in the direct crossfire of this violence. He calculates that one-fourth of the citizens have fled the region, but the other fifteen thousand have been fatalities. He advised caution, reporting that the rebel Waka militias and the Arab government units have made their way toward

billions of the world’s poorest, where safety is secured only for those with money, and where much of our well-intended aid is lost in the daily chaos of violence. (Boutros V. and Haugen G., 2014).

Some key issues that have shaped the National Economy of Honduras are government corruption, import/exports and migration of its citizens. With the unemployment rate sitting above 25% many of the Honduran people are finding their way to America. Hundreds of thousands of Hondurans are migrating each year to America. This is crippling the economy significantly due to the amount of good, honest and hardworking citizens leave due to the corruption and crime in Honduras. This only leaves the gangs and organized crime syndicates to run the cities with all their illegal activities which is one

Cho classifies the four pillars as migration, vulnerability, crime, and policy and institutional efforts (Cho 3). In Cho’s research design, he uses three datasets in his analysis to “reduce biases and fragmentation each dataset has” (Cho 5). These datasets are known as, the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime, the United States Department of State, and the International Labor Organization (Cho 5). During his analysis, he identifies push and pull factor in both origin and destination countries to help reveal his data results (Cho 6). Some of the push factors were defined as information flows, Muslim shares, fertility rate, infant mortality rate, crime rate, and control of corruption (Cho 8). The pull factors were defined as information flows, refugees, language fractionalization, crime rate, landlocked country, and international tourism (Cho 10). In Cho’s conclusion, he states, “ the crime pillar most robustly explains human trafficking” (Cho 10). For migration he confirms that income level affects economic migration in both origin and destination countries. He concludes vulnerability has no direct relation ship with human trafficking. Lastly he explains that for policy and institutional

In the earliest days of the conflict, the guerrilla fighters were recruited from the political movements within Rhodesia. The volunteers were given cover stories that they were leaving the country to attend academic courses, when in reality, they were being sent abroad to receive military training. By the late 1960’s, the existing supply of

Several facts have been advanced to explain the main causes of inter-ethnic conflicts between most nomadic tribes. Most of these issues revolve around livestock ownership and to get access to scarce natural resources such as water. Although the pastoral conflicts have deep roots in history, culture and are generally attributed to their retrogressive and outdated practices, there is more to their current nature and dynamics. In recent years it is mainly due to the proliferation of modern small arms, banditry and predation, commercialization of livestock raiding, dispute over land tenure rights. According to many authors, the cattle raiding which is a cultural practice has become a widespread, sophisticated, more violent, and destructive among pastoral communities in northern Kenya (Kumssa, 2009; Leff, 2009; Mahmoud, 2011; Mkutu, 2008;

Political activities that have often spilled over into violence and hence insecurity are a characteristic feature of Kenya and these have serious implications. Poverty and inequality are a major cause of crime, violence and conflict and therefore general insecurity. More important however is the absence of democratic governance which has led to the manipulation of state institutions giving rise to rampant corruption, ethnicisation of state institutions, absence of accountability and generalized impunity granted to the power elite. The state has thus failed to provide a general state of peace and security and leads people to feeling that the law is applied in a discriminatory manner and that they are abandoned and unprotected.
