Violence In The Wasps

The English and the Welsh held the best jobs in the mines and discriminated against the Irish. In order to fight back, the Irish formed a secret organization known as the Molly Maguires. The name of the society was taken from a group of anti-landlord agitators in the 1840s led by a widow named Molly Maguire.

American citizens despised the Chinese workers because they worked very hard and followed instructions for very little pay, as stated in a speech given by a German immigrant on the Chinese exclusion act he said “It is almost impossible for a poor white servant girl to find employment in a white family. No! The mistress of the house wants a Chinaman. Why? He is very handy. She can say, ‘John Chinaman, do this’, and John does it, and John never says a word”. The white immigrants assumed that the Chinese were doing this to spite them and steal the jobs the white immigrants and American citizens thought they were entitled to. Another example of Americans and white immigrants accusing the Chinese of taking

In the middle and late part of the nineteenth century, the West was a harsh and dangerous place to live. Bar fights and murders were being committed in every town. This was acceptable behavior however in those days. Men settled their problems face-to-face, and normally, the slower man ended up dead. Gunfighting in the West was started and carried on by a group of men known as the Clanton Gang. Old Man Clanton was the leader and founder of gunfighting, his sons carried some of his fights and continued with their own fights, and his last surviving son parted with gunfighting and started his own successful business.      

Also, they were undesirable workers in America. Therefore, one of the characteristics of the Chinese immigrants was that they were mainly male.

This stereotype, like all stereotypes, has a negative effect on everyone involved. White males will always be haunted by and blamed for what their ancestors did, and other races will prosecute them for it. Hate for whites by black

In the 1800s, after the Civil War (1861 to 1865), massive waves of new settlers migrated to the United States. May these were Chinese immigrants who sought to take advantage of the Gold Rush in California. Most of them were men, without family. Between that time, hundreds and hundreds of Chinese immigrants arrived, mostly in San Francisco, where they established a place called “Chinatown.” Establishing the place helped encouraged around four thousand Chinese women per year to immigrate to the United States, to be with their husband or father, helping Chinamen managing household. The gold attracted so many immigrants to California, and the desired for wealth attracted Southerners, who brought with them their racial attitude from the south. Work was well paying; a prejudice against Chinese was born. Hate and violence accompanied the competence against Chinese; and brutality against

The stereotypes of Chinese immigrants and Chinese immigrant women in particular shaped the way the government created legislation, with laws passed to keep them out of the country. This in turn caused a stigma to form around Asian immigrants. The power of perception played a prominent role in the racial discrimination and social conditions that Chinese women faced in the late 19th century and beyond.

As the recession hit, it became attractive to hire Chinese immigrants because they were willing to work for less while whites were not. The presence of Chinese labor became an insecurity for whites as it reminded them that they could easily be replaced as assumptions about white superiority and non-white inferiority came to influence views on work and immigration. As the economy worsened and the panic of 1857 began, racist anti-Chinese rhetoric emerged and spread among labor organizers and “Chinese were accused of being dangerous, deceitful and vicious, criminal, cowardly and inferior from a mental and moral point of view.” White labor organizers used this rhetoric to portray Chinese immigrants as dangerous and as unchristian in ways in

Throughout history there have been many occurrences when a group of people believe to be superior to others and an atrocity begins. There was an occurrence in the year 793 C. E. of Viking raids. The Norse Vikings, also known as the New Barbarians, are much like the Nazis in the

These people don’t really like violence. They viewed it has a horrible thing, but there not afraid to say rude things to each other but, they would never lay a hand on someone. This is shown on Arnold's first week of school at Rearden. Roger, who was a very big guy and had lots of friends, was picking on Arnold. Once Roger said a very racist thing towards, Arnold punched him in the face, Roger fell to the floor with a bloody nose. Everyone was shocked, Roger was so confused and never hit him back, even though he had the upperhand in the fight. Another example is when Arnold was playing against Wellpinit, and someone in the crowd threw a quarter at him for being a trader and switching school. Rearden was shocked once again by how volincet people were being, and didn’t doing anything to get “even” with the person who threw the quarter at

The Chinese men were not made welcome at all; upon arriving in California, many of the Chinese men became gold miners. However, the local white people would assault and run the Chinese off plots of lands. The white people did not like the idea of having more competition and and would violently drive the Chinese competition out. One such example was in the spring of 1852; sixty white miners rode along the shore of the American River and assaulted two hundred Chinese men who shared a claim at Mormon Bar and then rode further down river to Horseshoe Bar, where they attacked another four hundred Chinese miners

Around the mid 1800's, critical measures of foreigners started to move into the nation. This rush carried on for some time and still happens today just with substantially smaller numbers. With this extensive blend of individuals, hate crimes were normal. By the mid-nineteenth century, the crumbling of urban communities had prompted diverse laws that controlled public behavior and additionally made new open establishments including the police force. Nevertheless, this split up made a detachment between the law enforcement and citizens too. This ultimately resulted in racial, social, and ethnic profiling. Extensive scale incidents of brutality were related with work strikes, for example, the Steel strike of 1919, the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, the Pullman Strike of 1894, the Hanapepe slaughter of 1924, and the Ludlow slaughter of 1914.

Whilst the Greek and Roman predecessors of revenge tragedy showed little compunction in gruesome on-stage violence, the Elizabethan spectators were, by the time of publication and performance of Shakespearian plays, a more educated audience who would appreciate the poetic style and subtle references to classical literature. This is not to say that the sixteenth century public were sensitive to acts of startling brutality; public executions and bear baiting were frequent occurrences that no doubt permeated the psyche of a nation. It has been argued that Shakespeare, conscious of his contemporaries' efforts in this genre decided to `out-do his predecessors' but a far more probable explanation is that Shakespeare, accommodating the

Another problem is that the term does not seem to be incorrect use. Unlike the term ASP being used today, an Angelo- Saxon protestant is from “lower-middle-class England, particularly East Anglia, in the early 1600s. Some, like the Puritans, came to North America because they opposed the Church of England.” (Abagond). . The term WASP does represent Angelo- Saxon, which were people who “inhibited Great Britain from the 5th century” (Encyclopedia Britannica), but it used incorrectly to describe a specific group with a negative

Violence can be described as a behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. Violence has been around from the beginning and can be seen through history in writing and events that occurred. In Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, violence’s jarring effects on societal members are evidenced through various relationships and partnerships, portraying society’s corrupt ideologies and ethics.
