- 281: Cuban And Chinese Revolution C
- In A Dictionary of Sociology, Gordon Marshall defines rebellion/revolution as "Relatively rare but historically important events in which an entire social and political order is overturned, usually by violent means." He continues to say that while a rebellion is only the replacement of one ruling group by another, a revolution also has the new governing elite making fundamental changes. Both the Chinese Revolution of 1949 and the Cuban Revolution of 1959 completely fit the definition of a full revolution. Of course, while revolutions often originally have the best interests of the people in mind, corruption and power ...
- 282: American Revolution Persuaders
- American Revolution Persuaders Many events helped cause the American Revolution. It was a terrible war between the colonies of America and the country of England.

- 283: Cheap Labour: Canada
- ... to the large amount of people immigrating to our country. It all started back in the 50's and is still occurring in the 90's. I will be discussing the different working mentalities between French Canadians and immigrants coming from various parts of the world. I will compare "Voiceless People" by Marco Micone, and White Niggers of America by Pierre Vallieres. White Niggers emphasizes on the mentality of French Canadian working class and Voiceless People emphasizes on immigrant's mentality towards working, which in this case is the Italian community. After reading "Rivalry Over the Ethnic Minorities", it was like reading my own family's past when they immigrated in Quebec back in the early 70's. Many Greek immigrants who immigrated from their native country followed the same pattern towards finding happiness. Like most of the French, they worked long hard hours in bad working conditions and not so great pay. These sweatshops represent the first act of action to climb up the social ladder. But for the immigrants, it meant ...
- 284: The American Revolution
- The American Revolution From 1763, Americans had only to be convinced that an arbitrary ruler- whether Parliament or King-was violating their inherent rights, to feel that rebellion was justified. This conviction was bred in them by the series of events that occurred between 1763 and 1776. The language used to protest the British Acts was legal, and political. But the primary cause of the Revolution is economics. In theory the colonists accepted the principle that natural laws rather than royal decrees should govern the economy. In practice only the southern colonies were bound to England by the tobacco trade. The ... trade would lead to rebellion and consequentially ensued. The idea of mercantilism where the channelizing of all trade through England, was a restriction upon economic prosperity of the New England colony. The major cause for revolution within the economic theory is of economic subordination of colonies to England. The Grenville Ministry passed a number of acts, but the main act of provocation to the colonists was the stamp act. The ...
- 285: Russian Revolution

Also, the Russian workers received only very small wages, which led to many strikes. This inability to appease the powerful groups and intellectuals in Russia matched the first step of a revolution. The second step occurred when a large number of Russian workers marched in front of the czars palace in St. Petersburg. They attempted to present a method of reform to the czar. The czar, ...
- 286: Thomas Paine and Samuel Adams Contributing to "Selling the Revolution"
- Thomas Paine and Samuel Adams Contributing to "Selling the Revolution" Thomas Paine and Samuel Adams each contributed to “selling the revolution” to a complacent society through their pamphlets, and writing such as Common Sense, and The American Crisis, The Rights of Man, and The Age of Reason, all of which concentrated on the emotions of the society during the Revolutionary Era. Englishman Thomas Paine is said to be the most persuasive writer of the revolution. After 37 years of drifting from various jobs such as corset maker to a school teacher he decided to come to the United States to make a new start. He moved to Philadelphia where ...

When the British passed the Currency act, this left the paper money worthless, and the colonists had to rely (economically) on England for Hard Currency. The main reason for revolution was economics. The colonies were economically subordinate to England by the tea and coercive acts. The tea act was an act where the colonist middlemen merchants were being bypassed, and the trading was done ...

Students placed in “tracks” to utilize overcrowded and faulty test systems. Identity lost due to poor instruction and lack of motivation. The influx of shattered images brought forth by the “Report of the French Commission on American Education, 1879” reminds us of a time long ago when education was for every child, not select few. Stoic instructors molding young minds in the quest to advance America as a whole ... Both essays draw from the influence of education into the societal path into American mainstream society.

- ... included Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, and Chuck Berry. This music only succeeded because the conditions in society and the opinions of the youth in that time period allowed it to succeed. This music revolution is not unique. Similar revolutions will occur if and when the circumstances permit. Modern music is going this direction, but has not reached the point of a new genre as of yet because conditions in ... the song rather than the beat. Although it is possible to dance to this song, the original intent was probably more like folk music (an integral part of rock today) than a dance tune. Another revolution occurred with the ad-vent of disco, which brought dance music back to the spotlight. Rap and Hip-hop are not really related to rock and roll as closely as other offshoots, but they are obviously influ-enced somewhat by the vitality that a rock or folk lyric exudes. To get enough protest from teens to start a music revolution, another major war must be fought. Conscription must be reinstituted in the United States. Deaths of friends and family is usually enough to anger the population. Another factor that must be present is an ...
