Summary Of Sharpning Contradictions By Juan Cole
Juan Cole’s “Sharpening Contradictions”, is about Al-Qaeda wanting to mentally colonize French Muslims to create a political identity around grievance against discrimination. The goal is to “prey on unmooring people, mobilizing their energies and wealth for the purposes of a self-styled great leader” (Cole, 157). Turkey possibly could of attacked the Kurds in Syria for this very reason. As I stated in the last paragraph, Turkey is doing whatever it can to prevent the Syrian Kurds from attempting to mentally colonizing the Kurds in Turkey for revolution. Cole would say with regards to the situation in Syria that it would be inevitable for the Turkish Kurds to begin an insurgency operation within their borders. Cole mentions in his final paragraph

Serrano in his work, Young killers serving life without parole may get chance at freedom, is that juveniles who commit heinous crimes are not fully aware of their actions. More specifically, Serrano argues that juveniles are not fully matured and juveniles should not be charged as adults. The author asserts, “Adolescents, because of their immaturity, should not be deemed as culpable as adults…”(Serrano). In this passage, Serrano is suggesting that immaturity leads teens to act inappropriate for their age because they have not yet become adults. Serrano also states, “But they also are not innocent children whose crimes…

    Donald L. Niewyk’s fifth and sixth chapters both deal more with outside perspectives and outside reactions than it does with those who were persecuted. The fifth chapter, “Bystander Reactions,” offers four different arguments as to why bystanders acted they way they did during the Holocaust. The sixth chapter, “Possibilities of Rescue,” discusses three different viewpoints on what foreign governments could have done to prevent the Holocaust. These two chapters conclude Niewyk’s book The Holocaust and wrap up the final sequence of events surrounding the Holocaust and the camps.…

    For decades, historians have debated the purpose of the United States Constitution. Some, such as Charles Beard claim that the constitution is an economic document meant to secure power in the hands of the wealthy. Others, most notably Henry Commager have challenged Beard’s analysis and claim that the Constitution was drafted with political motives instead. To make his point, Beard primarily discusses the writers of the constitution, and only assumes what the document itself will say. Commager makes a more convincing argument since he uses both the Constitution itself and the framers’ words as evidence.…

    Opening doors of hopes and dreams for thousands of people, the discovery of the New World rapidly broadened the minute and stubborn perspective of the world people once knew. Promising of wealth, new lives and freedom, many sold their life to servitude for a taste of America. But instead of wealth, they found debt. Instead of a new life, they found death. Instead of freedom, they found the endless cycle of poverty. Although few made gains, many, like Richard Frethorne, were left impoverish and destitute. Frethorne’s letter supported Hofstadter’s adverse views on indentured servitude in three main criteria: the disappointment of the New World, the inescapably torturous life of an indentured servant, and the countless deaths that diffused throughout the journey.…

    In one of the grand theories of Freud vs. Erikson, I am strongly in favor of Erikson’s ideas as opposed to Sigmund Freud, in the fact that I agree that children’s developmental stages are more psychosocial than psychosexual. For example, I have two children of my own which I can correlate a lot of their behavior to Erikson’s stages. Babies cry in signal to their parents that something is wrong, when they feel nurtured and either the mother or father tend to their needs, such as diapering or feeding then they gain a sense of trust in their caregivers. My two year old son is at the stage now of initiative vs. guilt; whereas he has an adventurous spirit that leads him to “undertake many adult like activities” (Berger, 2014, p. 40). He is strong…
