Women's Flight Of Women: Case Study

Sarah Elizabeth Goode was an entrepreneur and inventor. She was the first African-American woman to receive a United States patent. She shares the distinction with Judy Reed, who invented a dough-kneading machine that was patented in 1880, and Miriam Benjamin, who received a patent in 1888 for a hotel chair that signaled the service of a waiter.

On November 4th, 1979, a group of enraged of Islamic revolutionists invaded the United States Embassy in Tehran. They had taken 60 Americans hostage for 444 days until President Ronald Reagan had taken Oath of office. It was nearly minutes after Reagan had taken office that they were released. Ayatollah Khomeini enforced an anti-Western Islamic theocracy, overrode the pro-Western monarchy of the Shah of Iran. Iran had felt that the United States was interfering with their internal affairs. They feared that they would return the Shah to power. The Shah had fled to mexico and the doctors there had uncovered that he was suffering an aggressive cancer. With this recent discovery they pushed the Shah to be admitted into a

On the morning of November 4, 1979, revolutionary Muslim students overtook security at the United States embassy in Tehran, Iran and occupied the building, taking everyone inside hostage. For the next 444 days the United States stood paralyzed with fear and anger as the diplomats were held as prisoners. Immediately after the capture of the sixty-five Americans public pressure began to mount on the government to bring the captured citizens back home. President Jimmy Carter responded by slapping sanctions on Iran and negotiating for the return of the hostages. At the same time he faced a reelection battle in 1980 that certainly affected his response to the crisis, especially standing next to Ronald Reagan, who favored shows of force to

Riots break out over in south-central Los Angeles California on April 29, 1992 in protest of the unjust actions of police brutality against Rodney King by Laurence Powell, Theodore Briseno, and Timothy Wind on March 3, 1991, unbenounced to the perpetrators, a civilian was filming the act unfold using a personal with a personal video camera. The video was released to the press, causing outrage and sparking debates around the issues of police brutality. King was released without charges, and on March 15, the three officers who brutally beat King, and Stacey Koon, their commanding officer were brought to court and charged with assault with a deadly weapon and excessive use of force, as well as Powell and Koon for filing false reports. However

The Shah arrived in New York City on October 22, 1979, and the response in Iran was nothing out of the ordinary. However on November 4th, 1979, 3,000 Muslim students, some armed, took control of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran and took 65 American Diplomates as hostage. The hostage takers that were muslim students urged that America releases Mohammad Reza Pahlavi back to Iran, to which he would have been put on trial and possibly executed. The United States was not going to and did not had over the Shah as he was in America for medical attention. The hostage takers also wanted the U.S to apologize for the interference in Iran's internal affairs. One example of America's interference was it was primarily responsible for the overthrow of Prime Minister Mosaddegh; this was not necessary. The last reason for the attack is that Iran wanted their frozen assets in America to be released

Riots broke out around the country, left 4 dead and many injured which was shocking. (Durflinger)

Mahatma Gahndi once said, “An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.” Hatred blinds people from acknowledgment and acceptance, and instead steers people towards ignorance. Quarreling amongst citizens of the United States is not an uncommon occurrence, especially when the topic focuses on racial backgrounds and biases. The LA Riot of 1992 is no exception to this category of discourse. A black person beaten up by a group of policemen was a usual event that happened frequently. Rodney King’s arrest was a special case. In a drunken state, King led the police on a “high-speed chase through the streets of Los Angeles (“Riots Erupt in Los Angeles”).George Holliday, an ordinary passerby, recorded Rodney King’s assault by the police on March 3, 1991. This infamous event urges the nation to examine the

The most dangerous was the Arian Heresy which reached its peak in the fourth century and led to many Ecumenical Councils being held. The first Ecumenical Council in history was held in 325 AD, attended by 318 bishops from all the churches of the world. Arius and his heresy were refuted, and the Christian Creed was formulated. Nevertheless, the residues of Arianism have continued to spread even till this day.

The next several day’s riots accumulated in Los Angeles because of the trial. The riot caused 60 deaths, 2,000 injuries, and $1 billion of damage. After the King riots similar police brutality continued in New York City that made major cities headlines. A Haitian immigrant Abner Louima was beaten severely and sodomized with a bathroom plunger by New York Police Department officers that were following his arrest outside of the nightclub. Police detectives shot an unarmed 23 year old immigrant from Guinea because they thought his wallet was a gun, the officers fired 41 shots, hitting the 23 year old 19 times. They were acquitted of all charged, that sparked widespread protests throughout New York City. Since the 90’s the crime rate has fallen but allegations of police brutality has continued. Critics have pointed out that LAPD officers shot and killed 70 percent more than suspects in 2011 than in 2010, even the murder rate in Los Angeles in 2011 had fallen to its lowest rate since 1963. (“Police Brutality”, Feb.)

In January 1979, Iranians opposed to the Shah’s rule invaded the American embassy in Tehran and held a group of 52 American diplomats and other hostages for 444 days. The Shah left Iran and the victorious Ayatollah Khomeini returned that February. Of the approximately 90 people inside the embassy, 52 remained in captivity until the end of the crisis. The reputation of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the hostage taking was further enhanced with the failure of a hostage rescue attempt that cost lives. The Ayatollah Khomeini set forth several demands to be met prior to the release of the hostages. The US had options of their own; however, the risk to the hostages required the utmost consideration. In order to secure their freedom, outgoing

Thus the L.A. Riots, which was a six-day rioting event that started April 29, 1992, and ended May 2nd, 1992. During this time, 53 people were killed, over 2,000 injured and about $1 billion in damages reported. Police had no control over the riots and it was not until the national guards were brought in that the riots finally stopped.

Nick: Nick does not remember anything about the hostage situation. I found that on November 4, 1979, an angry mob of some 300 to 500 "students" who called themselves "Imam's Disciples," laid siege to the American Embassy in Teheran, Iran, to capture and hold hostage 66 U.S. citizens and diplomats. Although women and African-Americans were released a short time later, 51 hostages remained imprisoned for 444 days with another individual released because of illness midway through the ordeal (Iran Contra Affair).

When I was a kid, I heard a lot of good things about America. Some people say it’s a land of opportunity for the people who take advantage that the county offers. Other said it’s the land of the free. At that time, I don’t understand what that all means but I was eager to come to America and experience what everyone was talking.

One of the most important events in church history includes the Council of Nicea. The First Council of Nicea happened in 325 and involved the first gathering of Christian bishops and the Roman Empire not as enemies but as allies. The bishops wanted to solve the dispute over Arianism. Arianism is the belief that Christ was more than human but something less than God. Arianism taught the people that Jesus
