Outlaws! The word often haunts us, as we sit and ponder over it. Usually it brings with it, a sense of insecurity and fear. Sometimes after watching a movie or after reading a crime story, we are scared about going out alone, or sometimes, even in the house we have a feeling, as if someone is watching us.
Why is all this? Why are we scared in our own house? Why are we scared to go out? It is because after watching so many movies, reading the papers and being aware about the crimes happening all around us, we just don’t want to take a chance with our lives. Life is to precious a thing to take chances with.
Often we ask ourselves, who are all these people who commit crimes, are they not aware of their actions? Are they the same as us, do they come from the same kind of society as we do?
These criminals are the same as us, they come from the same kind of society as we do, eat the same kind of food, wear the same kind clothes, but still in a way are very different from us. They commit crimes! That is, probably one of the only things, that can differentiate them from us. But why do they commit crimes is the question?
Sometimes it is due to the lack of money, when people are trying to find a quick way to earn some money. Sometimes, it is for revenge and sometimes without any reason. But there are different kinds of outlaws. A person maybe an outlaw in the eyes of some, and innocent according to others. For ex. Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi. They fought for the right of the people and did not give into the system and hence in the eyes of the government were considered to be outlaws.
Gandhi played a major role in the fight against the British for the Independence of India. He led India towards Independence and hence is called the “Father of the Nation.” Before coming to India he was in South Africa for some time and there, he practiced non-violence, to fight for the rights of Indians, residing in South Africa. He was sentenced to prison and after being released; he came back to India. Here he again practiced non-violence and in harmony with a number of other people, was able to force the British Government to leave India and go back to there own Country.
He preached and practiced non-violence and gave it a new name, he called it “Satyagraha”. According to Gandhi “Satyagraha is the vindication of truth not by infliction ...
... middle of paper ...
.... At the factory the satyagrahi’s who did not lift their hands, as they were practicing non- violence, were knocked of like pins, by the policemen who were armed with mettle tipped lathis (sticks) (Fischer 273).
Eventually Gandhi came out of the prison and after talking with the Government and after having many such movements, was able to force the British out of India.
Throughout this period, when he was fighting the British, the British considered him and every single person fighting for independence, as an outlaw, just because they were fighting for their right’s and their freedom.
In my view, the people who fought for the independence are dispensable, for, it is them who got the Indians freedom and it is because of them, that the Indians today, are living the way, they do.
These kinds of people are also considered as outlaws, because they fight for a cause. The cause being religion, freedom, racial discrimination or even injustice done to them. They are outlaws in the eyes of some and law-abiding citizens in the eyes of others. It is just the way you look at things, just as an optimist would say, that a glass is half full and a pessimist would say that it’s half empty.
Gandhi viewed his time in jail not as an obstacle but as an opportunity to encourage his followers to pursue nonviolence. (Doc C). Through Gandhi’s endurance, followers are captivated because of his resolve and willpower. His example of endurance drove followers to continue striving for independence through nonviolence. Nevertheless, his actions against the British got him arrested on multiple occasions. However, his arrest impacted his objective positively. Many discouraged jailed followers looked up to Gandhi. His charismatic leadership convinced his followers to serve jail time positively (Doc C). Through his patient demeanor, enticed followers became loyal toward his nonviolent
When you think of a criminal what do you think of? A person who breaks the law? A person who did a deed gone wrong? How about a person who is thought to have murdered someone but with only little to no evidence? Well there are many different aspects of criteria to consider and also many different circumstances or situations that may arise when it comes down to identifying someone as a criminal. One could easily define a criminal as one who breaks the law, one who endangers the people around them and themselves, and that they are not doing the crime for the greater good. The dictionary form of a criminal says “: involving illegal activity : relating to crime : morally wrong : relating to laws that describe crimes
Cigarette advertisements reflect society’s love-hate relationship with tobacco products through the ages. During its heyday of popularity, cigarette advertisements were not governed in any way, allowing tobacco companies to use any means necessary to sell their products including advertising during popular children’s television shows. This practice came under scrutiny around 1964 when the Surgeon General released its first report on “smoking and health.” This report stated that smoking may be hazardous to your health. Soon to follow the release of this report was a ban on all cigarette advertisements on television and radio.
Crime is a unlawful activity while deviance is a behavior that is different from that of the
Immigration is the greatest part of American history. In the beginning, Immigrants brought a vast variety of cultures and beliefs and turned America in to the beauty it is today. Immigrants are still doing this. However, the issue with immigration can be it 's illegal status. Many undocumented immigrants are entering this country causing questions among the American citizens. Rather than asking if this is right or wrong, a solution can be found. Illegal immigrants come here for a purpose and can be helped with this purpose. Most come fleeing persecution, although some come here for more demented reasons. Those, illegal immigrants will be done away with. However, Those immigrants who come here for pure reasons need to be taken Care of in proper
Owen expands on the shelling in lines 3 and 4, noting, “Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle/ can patter out their hasty orisons” (Lines 3 and 4). Owen repeats “only” to build momentum and to truly explain the sounds of the guns. He uses alliteration in “rifles’ rapid rattle” and onomatopoeia in “stuttering” and “rattle” to imitate the harsh and repetitive sounds of rifles. The alliteration creates a sense of the rapidity and frequency of the firing. Owen again personifies the guns, this time by using “stuttering” like the stutter of people. To him, the guns represent people and the people appear as animals. He compares the shelling to the guns rattling out prayers. Ironically, these prayers do not help the soldiers; they wound or kill
Workplaces with no union do not have a voice, therefore, they have less benefits, fewer sick leave days, and a worse or non-existent health plan. J. Darrach stated that people with mental illnesses who are part of a non-unionized workplace do not often receive the same type of support as they do in an unionized workplace. They are often at risk to loose their job because of the amount of time they missed or work performance as a result of their illness (person communication, February 2, 2016). Unions tend to have higher access to grievance systems and full-time and permanent workers have a benefits advantage (Marshall, 2003). Unionized jobs not only boost wages and job security but also they also develop access to insurance and pensions because of collective bargaining (Marshall, 2003). Statistics show that seventy nine percent of employees in a union had an RPP (a pension plan that contributes to a retirement fund) while thirty percent of non-unionized employee did not (Marshall, 2003). As of 1999, 37% of non-unionized workers and 69% of unionized worked benefited from a full coverage package benefits plan (Akyeampong, 2002). Unfortunately 52% of the non-unionized workers and 13% of unionized workers had zero coverage (Akyeampong, 2002). The comparison

I thought it would be a movie about how Weisler made the youth of the nation into Stasi members. Maybe show us how the tactics he used in the beginning of the movie were used throughout history. I was always interested in these things, I even went home and told my family and friends about the movie we were watching and I made sure they were just as excited as I was. When we had gotten done watching this film, I was most definitely thrown for a loop and so much more into the movie than I originally thought I would be. A movie that helps to project this fact is the movie “Mary Kom”. This movie is about one of India’s most well-known female boxer’s, who makes history by winning the gold medal in Women’s International Boxing and even though she faced difficult choices and circumstances from being a woman in a predominantly male sport, she came out on top. She battles with men telling her she will never be good enough, her outrageous temper, her father who doesn’t believe his one daughter should be out with men, learning the ways of a man. He thinks that she should be home helping with the family, learning how she can become a better woman and eventually get married to someone who can not only take care of her but her family. This movie was mostly a documentary on this woman named “Mary Kom”, but the way it was portrayed to
The femme fatale theme constitutes the straightest forward and most open strike on traditional womanhood as we know it today. This type of character constantly refuses the social norm of being a loving mother and a faithful and loyal wife. The idea of marriage for the femme fatale is very confining and tedious. She uses her skills of deceit as well as her sexual attractiveness to secure her independence from the institution of marriage. She remains passionately and viciously independent even after her destruction becomes unavoidable. And despite her unavoidable destruction or death, she leaves behind a representation/ impression of the strong, powerful, thrilling, and remorseless woman she is, a woman who refuses to be under a man’s control
What makes a criminal? This is a question that I hope to divulge a plausible answer for. Criminals are people who are liable of deplorable rough unlawful acts, which maltreat the laws of a nation. Criminality is the act of carrying out a crime, which therapists have concocted numerous speculations and reasons regarding why individuals perpetrate criminal acts.
Cigarette advertisements give the feeling that smokers are "bursting at the seams with joy" and that smoking is useful to you. Shockingly, nothing could be further from reality. The U.S. government has marked cigarettes as an unsafe medication that causes lung malignancy, coronary illness, and numerous different genuine sicknesses and conditions. Numerous individuals everywhere throughout the nation are discussing whether tobacco organizations ought to be permitted to publicize cigarettes or even to make cigarettes in today 's general public ("Analyzing Assorted Tobacco Advertisements").
Gandhi was a great man in a lot of ways he was born on October 2, 1869 in Western India. At the age of thirteen he married Kasturbi who was also thirteen before his father died. When he did his mother sent him to law school in England this was in 1888. While he was there he fell in love so to speak with the nonviolent ways of the Hindu scriptures of the Bhagavad-Gita, and in the bible tellings of Jesus.
However, every day there are kids, not old enough to drive, take a puff from their first cigarette and become unaware of toxins that are consuming their bodies. For young smokers, they want to fit in with their peers and it gives them a false sense of autonomy. They are fascinated by smoking and think it looks cool. Each day, an estimated 2,100 youth and young adults who have been occasional smokers become daily cigarette smokers(CDC). Smoking sneaks up on them, every day you smoke more than before; that’s because of nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance.
