education

shared by Ellen L on 01 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms
  • Taking rights and obligations to be intimately tied within a full human rights educational regime, I argue for the role of education in establishing and realizing freedom from poverty as a human right.
  • Ellen L on 01 Jan 12
     
    This discusses the importance of education in strengthening one's rights and realizing freedom from poverty. This connects to how Malcolm X and IM are increasingly able to exercise rights and control, as they become more educated.

a room of one's own

    This an interesting article, especially the second to last paragraph opposing what Woolf said with "These women "applied the cultural analysis of the feminists [before them] to words, sentences, and structures of language in the novel." However, Showalter criticizes their works for their androgynistic natures.For all its concern with sexual connotations and sexuality, the writing avoids actual contact with the body, disengaging from people into "a room of one's own." (Elizabeth lee)

    This article is how one women breaks down the three periods in which women have written in, and even in the most modern one she describes how they only face "some freedom" and that true freedom may never come.

#5 invisible man control unity

shared by Connor P on 05 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Ellison seems to suggest that such an establishment of personal identity should be the true aspiration of African Americans;
  • that it is only through the establishment of identity that other progress can be made; and that as long as African Americans allow others to determine their identities, true freedom and equality will be hard to achieve.
  • Connor P on 05 Jan 12
     
    This is the finally realization that helps the reader know the the narator has matured and discovered how to overcme the oppression. He see the controlling his ow destiny and unity are the keys for success

Invisible man

shared by Ellen L on 02 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Invisible Man's continuing relation to the African American radicalism of its time helps explain the oft-noted ambivalence of its conclusion on such matters as artistic and political action and individual as opposed to group freedom.
  • Ellen L on 02 Jan 12
     
    This article talks about the Invisible Man in a more historic and political context, examining different political atmospheres in Harlem and the brotherhood.

malcolm x

shared by David D on 09 Jan 12 - Cached

    On 21 February 1965, Malcolm X was gunned down in broad daylight at a political rally at the Audobon Ballroom in Harlem, New York. The very embodiment of black power, Malcolm X gave his life for his cause. A freedom fighter, he was determined to achieve his aims - "by any means necessary," as he put it.
  • David D on 09 Jan 12
     
    Malcolm X truly was misunderstood. The influences in his life shaped who he was at certain moments in time, and I don't think the world really got to see the true Malcolm until after her returned from Mecca with a different mindset about whites.

the jungle treatment of the worker ethics

shared by Evan G on 29 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • Sinclair's book is a muckraking expose of the institutionalized inequality, corruption, privilege, sickness and slavery needed to keep the machine running that runs beneath he thin veneer of the American dream of freedom and success.
  • It's a losing battle, of course, and work in the packinghouses brings poverty, disease, death, injury, injustice, rape, jail and exploitation to the Rudkus family.
  • In the drive for even a half-penny of profit spoiled meat is bribed past inspectors, men are crushed and killed, waste is driven wholesale into public drinking water and, like the meat the process, every ounce of worth in a human being is taken before being discarded in favor of fresh meat

  • Jurgis also is glad that he is not a pig – only to realize at the end that he and all the working men were treated as cruelly and as senselessly as the animals, driven to the point of death to churn out meat faster and faster and then discarded.

    This site is AMAZING for topics regarding treatment of workers. It literally describes in vivid detail the cruelty and carelessness of the corporations, as well as the insignificance and disposability of the worker. No one matters; the companies see people in terms of dollars, not faces or names. People are just a means to an end, a way to get profit. Once the profit ceases, the people are discarded in search of even better workers, which will be discarded in their time as well

    For many families with minimum-wage income,welfare becomes a necessary means for survival. However, not everyone that needs it can obtain it and not everyone that can obtain it, will the welfare help to survive.the article speaks of the poverty, specifically in Wisconsin and how even though some impoverished families desperately need it, it is considered socially unacceptable for them to apply and they are discouraged from doing so.

    "Privatization was touted as a more economical means of administering welfare, but it has been a very expensive, as well as heartless, experiment. In 1985, Wisconsin's welfare program cost $548 million for 299,700 people; in 2001, the budget is $710 million for fewer than 20,000 individuals. From 1985 to 2000, administrative costs jumped from 4 to 52 percent. The five Milwaukee corporations that run welfare earned $33 million in profits in one year, and $47.2 million in surplus dollars. These profits are the result of denying support to families in crisis."

    Great quote, and it highlights a reoccurring theme in many of the books where aid given by the wealthier classes is never enough, goes unnoticed, or in the case of the Jungle is for a different reason. This is when the immigrants are given money to give up their right to political freedom, but the free funds are too needed to resist.

    This is actually a GOOD interesting source. Unlike the books and the typical secondary source, it provides USEFUL and NEW info. It gives quality statistics which can actually help prove a point, rather than just repeat it or restate it.

room of one's own woolf

shared by Zaji Z on 10 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • What Mrs. Woolf has traced, of course, are the reasons for the very limited achievements among women novelists through the centuries. Why did they fail? They failed because they were not financially independent; they failed because they were not intellectually free; they failed because they were denied the fullest worldly experience.
  • Mrs. Woolf sometimes partly evades an issue. We cannot tell how much better Dickens would have written had he not struggled, or Meredith had he not wearily read manuscript for Chapman & Hall, or Balzac had he not sought feverishly to discharge heavy debts; but we do know that lacking means and intellectual freedom these men succeeded where women failed.
  • Evan G on 10 Oct 11
     
    The site points out that Woolf points out that women were inhibited from success, and typically doomed to failure as a result of the restrictions placed upon them from society. They couldn't be financially independent, so they never had time to learn and experience the world, so they weren't intellectually free, etc.
  • Zaji Z on 13 Oct 11
     
    The Times brings up an interesting point. Men struggled and still succeeded. Women struggled and got nowhere. Part of it must be the culture, where women often did not usually exert themselves to something ambitious, whereas men are expected to. For most of the women's rights movement, perhaps the goal wasn't to force the institution to create laws for equality, but in the bigger picture, sense that it was to show women had initiative, motivation and a purpose.

    "The conditions that are favourable to imaginative work are discussed, including the right relation of the sexes. Finally an attempt is made to outline the present state of affairs and to forecast what effect comparative freedom and independence will have upon women's artistic work in the future"
  • Willie C on 12 Oct 11
     
    This source outlines Woolf's authorial purpose in the novel which includes to describe the limitations that one sex or social class will have when trying to do certain jobs and activities.
