Peronism was an Argentine political movement which was conceived by the former President of Argentina- Juan Domingo Peron and his wife Eva Peron. The pillars of the Peronist movement were social justice, economic independence and political sovereignty. Peron’s model of the mixed economy plus the central role of the worker unions was similar to that of the Scandinavian welfare state. (1) In a speech that Peron made in the Congress in 1948, he stated that Peronism was humanism in action. He called it the new political doctrine which rejects politics and all the ill-will it causes. Peronism itself was an idea which stated that all wealth of the nation should be shared out equally amongst those who contributed to bringing it to its current state. Before 1947, women were not given their due rights. They were not considered equal to men and were not considered fit to hold any social designation or carry out any task. It was after Juan Peron came to power, that women started to enjoy basic human rights and…

There may be times when oppression takes over your life and you’re left with no means of revolt. This is seen in The Shawl as Rosa describes the view from her prison barracks: “On the other side of the steel fence, far away, there were green meadows speckled with dandelions and deep-coloured violets”. It seems as if Rosa is yearning to go there, meaning her current lifestyle is of much less stature. I believe flowers are symbolic for Rosa because she wants to be like them, free on the other side of the fence, in paradise. As such, I believe the people who imprisoned her took away her dreams and her only means of happiness, Magda. As soon as Magda was discovered, someone of ‘authority’ lifted her and threw her onto an electrified fence, instantly killing her. Cynthia Ozick shows how cruel and unjust oppression can become. This reminded me of when racial profiling was common in the USA, especially during the time the hip hop group Niggaz Wit Attitudes was on the rise. One of their songs, “Fuck The Police” spoke of their reality: “A young nigga got it bad cause I'm brown and not the other color, so police think they have the authority to kill a minority”. These musicians fought against the FBI and police that were denying their rights, and in return they fathered rap music and are inspirations to teens today. In my opinion, Rosa failed to fight the guard taking Magda away, and thus failed to create a bright future for her family. In other words, I think that Ozick is trying to tell the reader to never give up because when you do, nothing good can come out of…
The Mother of the Civil Rights Movement Rosa Parks is one of the most famous people in the history of the American Civil Rights movement, for her refusal to “move to the back of the bus” on December 1, 1955. Although her moment of protest was not a planned event , it certainly proved to be a momentous one. The nature of Rosa Park’s protest, the response of the authorities of Montgomery, the tactics adopted by the civil rights leaders in Montgomery, and the role eventually played by Federal authority, were all aspects of this particular situation that were to be repeated again and again in the struggle for equality of race. Rosa Parks’ action, and the complex combination of events that followed, in some measure, foreshadowed a great deal of the history of the civil rights movement over the next decade. Obeying the law can change history in an instance, even if you’re actions don’t express it, it will later on affect society. After the arrest of Rosa Parks, black people of Montgomery and sympathizers of other races organized and promoted a boycott of the city bus line that lasted 381 days. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was appointed the spokesperson for the Bus Boycott and taught nonviolence to all participants. Contingent with the protest in Montgomery, others took shape throughout the south and the country. They took form as sit-ins, eat-ins, swim-ins, and similar causes. Thousands of courageous people joined the "protest" to demand equal rights for all people. As of my opinion, we should all be questioning the fact on how brave someone can be…
