- 591: Utopia, 1984 Comparison
- ... because (as mentioned before) love is of utmost importance to Utopians. Unlike 1984 or Brave New World, Utopians aim at trying to preserve love between the partners in a marriage. ¡§Slavery is sentenced upon those that have disgraced their marriage, the guilty are made infamous, and never allowed to marry again.¡¨ (Utopian Marriage, 12). In 1984 and Brave New World, the worst punishment is placed upon those that engage in love. In contrast to Utopia, citizens experience the worst form of punishment (slavery), if they cause harm to their marriage, or disgrace their marriage by cheating or loving another person. The citizens of Utopia treasure love, and try to keep love alive, instead ...

- 593: Ufos And Aliens On Earth
- ... unlikely that someone would make up a story like this, especially in the 11th century. So we must spectulate about that event. It could have been anything from an alien slavery ship, to a meteorite, to a crashing UFO. But, it would most likely be the slavery ship because it "Killed and kidnapped" people from the village. A meteorite has never killed a person in all of history, not even the comet that leveled 55 square miles ...
- 594: Caribbean
- ... people will think of Caribbean Islands as a nice place for a getaway vacation. But historical background of Caribbean is somewhat different. Caribbean has a long history of colonization and slavery for many generations. As new colonization was established, new cultures and languages were introduced. People tends to only focus on the bright side of the Columbus¡¯s great discover of ... parts of Africa as a human cargo. Among the slaves, they had many cultural differences as well as languages themselves because they were brought from different regions of Africa. When slavery was abandoned throughout the Caribbean in mid-nineteenth century, the economic and political structure that controlled the island remained. The exslaves were forced to work below the minimum wages. Large ...
- 595: Using the Student Study Sheets in the Classroom
- ... Monticello as the meeting place for two tragically intertwined aspects of Jefferson's existence, his exuberant pursuit of happiness through intellectual exploration and social exchange, and his appalling acceptance of slavery as the foundation of his domestic economy. Students are provided with an excerpt from Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia where he unflinchingly examines the moral destructiveness of slavery on both sides of the master/slave relationship. And they are asked to ponder how this peerless advocate of human freedom in all its forms could so deeply violate his ...
- 596: A Lesson Before Dying
- ... Louisiana, blacks may have legally been emancipated, but they were still enslaved by the antebellum myth of the place of black people in society. Customs established during the years of slavery negated the laws meant to give black people equal rights and the chains of tradition prevailed leaving both Grant and Jefferson trapped in mental slavery in their communities. The struggles of Grant and Jefferson share a common theme, man’s search for meaning. Grant has the advantage of a college education, and while that may ...
- 597: Thomas Jefferson
- ... them from the time of his birth in 1743 until the day he died. One of the harshest criticisms of Jefferson comes from the fact that, while he vehemently opposed slavery, was indeed a slave owner himself. As historian Douglas L. Wilson points out in his Atlantic Monthly article "Thomas Jefferson and the Character Issue", the question should be reversed: "...[T ... into a slave holding society, whose family and admired friends owned slaves, who inherited a fortune that was dependent on slaves and slave labor, decide at an early age that slavery was morally wrong and forcefully declare that it ought to be abolished?" (Wilson 66). Wilson also argues that Jefferson knew that his slaves would be better off working for him ...
- 598: The World's Longest War
- ... Mediterranean by 635, it conquered and converted Iran from Zoroastrianism by 641, and it gradually conquered the Christian Byzantine Empire until it captured and sacked Constantinople itself in 1453. Christian slavery became an institution until the 19th century. Egyptian Mamelukes and Turkish Janissaries were slave armies of Christian children drafted and raised as Moslems. The black slave trade in the interior of Africa was always an Arab monopoly; black slavery in Arabia ended only after World War II. (American blacks have the dilemma of turning to Islam for salvation and knowing that Islam enslaved their ancestors for transportation to the ...
- 599: Prejudice
- ... black race ever since. Some Whites figure they are superior to all other races, especially blacks since they once were property to the white man. Most American people realize that slavery was a very terrible thing that happened in America's past. Yet there are still some racist people who believe that the blacks should still be property or are less of a human. What are they thinking? Can they not realize that they are humans just like you and I? Since slavery, there have been all kinds of attempts to curve prejudice and abolish it; but as long as people are still here, it's impossible. One way that America tried to ...
- 600: Things Fall Apart Things Fall
- ... of this imposed alien culture or what was left of colonial rule. The ideological system of colonization has been a violent destructive force on the world, as we know it. Slavery, murder, violence, rape, and torture of non-European peoples was the cruel reality of colonization. European nations, with the motives of sheer greed, brought Africans into slavery. This hostile take over was rationalized through the racist ideology that native peoples were inferior savages. In Things Fall Apart, we witnessed the destruction of a traditional native culture. More ...
