    The Civil War was caused by a combination of the problems of slavery, state’s rights, economic sectional differences, and political blunders and extremism. These factors combined in the 1850s to create a tense environment in which nearly every action could potentially lead to war. While the Civil War was inevitable, it was definitely partially caused by the extremism and poor political leadership of the preceding decade. However, these factors emerged out of cultural, economic, and political differences that were nearly a century in the making. There can be no doubt that extremism over issues of slavery factored into the causes of the Civil War.

  • Essay On Fanatical Religion

    Many people have given their lives to further the growth of the Church throughout the world and indeed many have admitted that even if God Himself were to visit them and suggest Joseph Smith was not really His messenger, they would not believe him, but would rather believe in Joseph Smith. This type of fanatical belief is indicative of how this belief has grown and perhaps that it may well be considered in the realm of “cultism” as well as simple religion? This type of fanatical belief is not limited to the Mormon Church. Indeed you find it in the Catholic Church and many of the southern Baptist churches and other protestant faiths throughout the world and certainly in the Moslem religion.

Author Samira Ahmed further elaborates on this topic: “In recent times, we’ve seen hate emerge out of the dark corners, torches blazing in the night. We’ve witnessed so-called leaders not merely against the forces of hate, but for equality and justice.

    For example, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was a violent hate group that developed after the Civil War that targeted black and Democratic voters and politicians. “They also generally believed in the innate inferiority of blacks… and resented the rise of former slaves to a status of civil equality and… positions of political power. Thus, the Klan became an illegal organization committed to destroying the Reconstruction governments” (Ku Klux Klan). The KKK would resort to incredibly violent measures, such as murder, to prevent freedmen from having a voice. Congress knew of the horrors of the KKK and they tried to stop the KKK, but found it incredibly difficult.

  • Osama Bin Laden: The Root Cause Of Terrorism

    While I do not subscribe to the belief that poverty is the sole root cause of terrorism, (it is well known that Osama Bin Laden came from a wealthy family), I do feel that in many circumstances poverty and a feeling of injustice and disenfranchisement can push someone into committing extremist acts. Mr. Shabhara may have turned to terrorism due to a combination of poverty and weak family ties, which created a fertile ground for extremist views and a feeling of desperation. His parents dreams of emigration to better their lives, turned into a nightmare. The gap between their expectations and achievements was great and eventually led to the collapse of this family. Perhaps Mr. Shabhara felt cheated by a nation that outwardly promised his parents a better life, but somehow only delivered disappointment and

    People tend to want to trust that the society and culture that we grow up in is generally good and that we do not need to constantly worry about it falling apart into ruin. However, we all do live in imperfect societies that gladly head forward into their non-perfections. Socialism is a theory that says that everything should be lead and directed by the community involved. It is only a real possibility, though, if everyone is truly looking out for the best interests of each other, and not looking at how they can advance their own agenda. As you may know, that is not always the case in our own culture.
