Pollack's Arguement: From Stalemate To Crisis

APUSH Period 6

Written Assessment: CH 19- From Stalemate to Crisis
Thesis:
Populism was one of the few phenomena to gain real national influence, thus creating many arguments between historians. Populism didn’t start off as an influential political movement. It started out with ranges getting together to try and change their local governments. This evolved into farmers trying to get the attention of the government, and finally the Populist group was a rising political party that was upset about how the industrial nation left them behind. I find Pollack’s argument to be the most persuasive and Hofsdter’s argument to be the least persuasive against mass uprisings. The Populist movement was able

    I couldn’t dare imagine a situation were I’m kicking and screaming for my life, trying my hardest to get away from the claws of death. And even though everyone can see and hear me yelling at the top of my lungs for help, no one has the courage to do so. In the short story “37 Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police” by Martin Gansberg, that was the fate for Catherine Genovese. Gansberg does an exceptional job explaining the events leading up to, and after the tragic death of Catherine Genovese. How could 37 people be aware of what was happening and not one person call the police? Why was the first call made too late? Not everyone can be a hero, but I agree with Gransberg that at least a call should have been made, especially when someones’ life is in danger.…

    There was a great deal of opposition to the tsarist regime between 1861 and 1881 and many were successful. The opposition came from the liberal minded intelligentsia who were determined to change what they believed to be outmoded and inhibiting Russian ways. The Populists, who aimed to win over the peasantry to their socialist ideas by stirring up their resentment of the Tsarist Autocracy.…

    The source argues that in the name of protecting civil liberties, the mass people have too much of a say over things, and that those strong leaders in power do not "get a chance to serve the common good." The ideology presented in the source is that a single, strong leader provides more stability than a democracy. The source presented advocates in favour of a collective, authoritarian form of government. The philosopher Thomas Hobbes would have supported the source by referring to society's need for a "leviathan" or centralization of power, since he believed that people were incapable of governing themselves. However, this source is not a complete rejection of the values and principles of liberalism as it still maintains democracy as the system of government used, and democracy is…

    The disappointment of the outcome of the first world war was indeed a contributing factor as to why support for fascism grew as it highlighted the weakness of the liberal government. However this factor alone was simply not enough to explain the very significant rise in support for the fascists from 1919-22. The party had around 1000 members in 1919 which the party claimed rose to half a million members and 250,000 blackshirts by 1922. Other factors such as the fear of socialism, weakness of the liberal government and the Fascist tactics themselves also played a large role in the growth of fascist support.…

    1 Wife of Bath sees marriage as a means for her to have sex and she has a strong sexual appetite. She feels that God gave women sexual desires and that it can't be wrong to give in to those desires because they are God-given. Furthermore, she says that she knows men also have strong sexual desires so she uses sex, or the lack of it, to control her husbands The Wife of Bath begins the Prologue to her tale by establishing herself as an authority on marriage, due to her extensive personal experience with the institution. Since her first marriage at the tender age of twelve, she has had five husbands. She says that many people have criticized her for her numerous marriages, most of them on the basis that Christ went only once to a wedding, at Cana in Galilee. The Wife of Bath has her own views of Scripture and God’s plan. She says that men can only guess and interpret what Jesus meant when he told a Samaritan woman that her fifth husband was not her husband. With or without this bit of Scripture, no man has ever been able to give her an exact reply when she asks to know how many husbands a woman may have in her lifetime. God bade us to wax fruitful and multiply, she says, and that is the text that she wholeheartedly endorses. After all, great Old Testament figures, like Abraham, Jacob, and Solomon, enjoyed multiple wives at once. She uses this power as an “instrument” to control her husbands.…

    The recent political crisis in Mali has something to do with the Tuareg people that live in this region and the general religion of the region. The Tuareg people are nomadic farmers. North Africa is primarily Muslim and is heavily influenced by what happens in the Muslim world. Muslim rebel groups like the Ansar Dine seek a nation that abides by Islamic Law. Others like the Islamic Movement for Azawad seek an independent state in Northern Mali and acknowledgement of that state by the world. Mali, like most of North Africa seeks an Islamic government. The NMLA (the National Movement for Liberation of Azawad) is a Tuareg lead group that is fighting for the rights of the nomadic Tuareg people.…
