meaning and can offer a form of hope for those who are feeling stereotyped or bullied by the mainstream society. An elaborate plan to focus vulnerable inmate has to be put in place at the earliest. 23. Education. It has been evident that majority of the people getting radicalised are from the stratum of lower education barring few aberrations in southern states. Given the important role of schools and educational establishments in promoting the values of non-violence, peaceful coexistence and tolerance, emphasis on primary and secondary education in govt school not in religious institutions is the need of the hour. 24. Promoting Alliance of Civilisations and Inter-Cultural Dialogue. One of the main cause of radicalism is the lack of cultural knowledge and religious intolerance. Religious elders, education and …show more content…
Social Alienation. Many have argued that counter radicalization programs imply that Muslims are inherently prone to terrorism and represent a special problem. They point out that other forms of extremism, such as that coming from the far right, pose a significant threat to both social cohesion and security, yet only Islam-ism has been targeted with uncommon vigour. Some critics have also argued that programs such as counter radicalization are in reality nothing more than covers for spying on Muslims, leading to refer by critics as “the biggest spying programme in India in modern times and an affront to civil liberties.” It is critical for authorities to challenge these views, which can severely hamper the credibility and effectiveness of their programs. Branding and marketing are therefore no less important aspects of a counter radicalization program than its substance is. If the community perceives every govt gesture, even the best intentioned, as being made only to stop radicalization, it could alienate the very community that it seeks to engage and influence positively, unwittingly heightening potential vulnerabilities to
As of this moment, our government has currently been able to identify several different forms of domestic extremist groups that have coincided within our local, state and federal pentatrienes, such as White Supremacists or Neo-Nazi’s, political extremist, and array of other large coordinated prison gangs. Nevertheless, with the increasing risk of more home-grown radical Islamic terrorist turning up on United States soil, great levels of distress have recently been expressed by Americans because of the looming risk of what could result from this prisoner radicalization. The recent uprising of the radical Islamic extremist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), has resulted in a significant rise in the number of annual domestic terrorism- related arrests. The ideology implemented through ISIS’s methods of teaching, has
Throughout history, countries have dissented and disagreed. In The Decline of Radicalism written by Daniel J. Boorstin, he stated that disagreement creates debate and dissent does not. Many events in history shows Daniel J. Boorsitin’s beliefs regarding World War I, the American Revolution, and Native American’s land stolen from Europeans. During 1990’s, many European countries wanted power around the world.
In his book, Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson delves into the disconcerting issues of the United States’ extremely corrupt legal system and widespread, heartrending mass incarceration and extreme punishment. Stevenson’s eloquent writing style and captivating stories draw in readers and opens eyes to the recondite, yet extremely important issues with the criminal justice system. The overarching theme of Stevenson’s book is that the current justice system fails time after time, and causes much unwarranted hardship for countless innocent people. Through cases of racial minorities, women, the mentally ill, juveniles and more, this book explains the epidemic of unjust mass incarceration in the United States.
Freedom Summer, or the Mississippi Summer Project, was a volunteer campaign launched in June 1964 to attempt to register as many African-American voters as possible in Mississippi, which had historically excluded most blacks from voting. The project also set up dozens of Freedom Schools throughout Mississippi to aid the local black population. The projects leadership and funding came from the SNCC and COFO, along with hundreds of white college students in the north. In 1963, the SNCC organized a mock vote for blacks, which gave them a chance to prove they were capable of understanding politics. The civil rights activists from both organizations and the white volunteers from the north faced many challenges during the campaign.
The freedom summer, also known as the Mississippi Summer project, was the nonviolent attempt for a voter registration drive organized by a series of civil rights organizations, those including Congress on Racial Equality (CORE), the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). This historical event took place in Mississippi in the summer of 1964. The main focus of this project was, as mention earlier, the voter registration drive, which intended to gather as many colored Mississippians to join the electoral register. But as suspected, may of this registration were denied by the officials, which was a callous act of injustice. As a result, the organizers formed
Many white women worked in Freedom Schools established by SNCC, because of the danger they would have faced working in the field. Freedom schools were originally established to teach African American high school students lessons in history and other subjects, because the education they received from public schools was not very good. They originally had a curriculum, but it was hard to follow. SNCC volunteers were not teachers and did not know about every topic. One staff member said to the volunteers, “You’ll meet on someone’s lawn under a tree.
Gary B. Nash writes his piece, “Social Change and the Growth of Pre Revolutionary Urban Radicalism” as secondary source to articulate his thoughts about the poor living conditions in Boston, Philadelphia and New York during post war time of the later part of the 18th century. Gray Nash who is PhD graduate from Princeton University, produces concrete arguments to inform the people of the late 1960’s about actual history that conflicted with social development and advancement after the war with France and Native Americans. Nash utilizes credible historical documents to highlight the unbalanced and radical quality of life for city dwellers, especially around clustered and poverty stricken areas on the Eastern coast of the colonies. Even though
Just as history has seen with communities of color are essentially discriminated based on the color of their skin or way of living. King speaks of how through discrimination it gave rise to the Nation of Islam because, the "movement [was] nourished by the contemporary frustration over the continued existence of racial discrimination" ("Jail"). This coincides with how advocates trying to stop the injustice former convicts receive after being released because one should be able to be given an opportunity without having to worry about their past determining the new chapter they are trying to pursue. Illustrating how the prison system has allowed for ex-convicts to have to be the new face of discrimination and make it harder to integrate back into society. Thus, contradicting the initial purpose of prison being a rehabilitation center, but now has become a dehumanizing center for convicted criminals.
rallies, they done white sheet clothing with holes cut out for them to see and have a long pointed hood. The membership to this hate group was interesting because it has been known that high ranking people in the government such as councilman, police officers and other government officials. Over the years of this groups existence, there have been numerous leaders who was known as the Grand Wizard. One of them was Hiram W. Evans and he became the Imperial Wizard in the year of 1922. During his reign of being in the most powerful position of this group, membership was known to have been close to well over a few million members (1).
This rhetoric can encourage for more terrorism to take place, especially in the Western world where this rhetoric is most prevalent. Anti-Muslim rhetoric can encourage terrorism because it causes some Muslims to feel hatred toward Westerners and be violent to Westerners as a result. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion after reviewing all of the information given, that ethnic profiling should not be used to prevent terrorism. Not only does profiling encourage terrorist acts, it has a countless amount of ethical implications as explained by the Open Society Justice Initiative. This source persuaded me that ethnic profiling is ineffective, supported by studies that have been conducted.
America had many different difficulties after the war including meeting basic needs for foods, services, industry, freedmen a new place in a changed society, and establishing a new state governments. When meeting the basic needs for food, services, and industries the north and south had different ideas. The Northern ideas were mostly coming from the Freedmen’s Bureau in 1865 which helped the black slaves and poor whites in the south. Basically aid for refugees. Some southerners and freedmen did not like this new law and criticized it, but it supplies food and clothing to the freed slaves and poor whites, it even tries to locate jobs for them and prevent employers from exploiting them.
In the excerpt The Decline of Radicalism Daniel J. Boorstin discusses the distinction between dissent and disagreement. Boorstin makes the broad claim that there is a significant difference separating the two: dissent is a poison to our society while disagreement is good. While it’s true disagreement is good it is false to claim that dissension is the “Problem of America today.” Both disagreement and dissent contribute to the functioning of a democracy as proven throughout history. The author, Boorstin, said “Disagreement is the lifeblood of democracy, dissension is it’s cancer.”
Peaceful Resistance no matter what way you look at it, it 's still going against someone whether it involves words or actions, resistance still causes more conflict. The last 5 years we have had people say they want change through these “peaceful protest” but these peaceful protests have done nothing but turn to violent riots were theirs damage to vehicles, business families rely on destroyed, bystanders hurt, officers killed and our country torn apart. Back when Martian Luther King Jr was around and he had his Peaceful Resistance or rallies for equality, they were peaceful and brought our country together with something that needed to be changed, but the protest we’ve had the last 5 years… he would be ashamed of. Peaceful Resistance to laws does negatively impact our free society in America. First going along with what I said about there being “peaceful rallies” even though some people may be at these rallies to make a difference to support their opinion, not everyone can respect that.
Radicalization is the process in which individuals hope for a serious change within society. Several thoughts come to my mind when I hear radicalization of U. S prisoners. For several years it has been stated that radicalization of prisoners are a threat to citizen of the United State; I am a strong believer that radicalization can be positive or negative. Radicalization has shown not to always be negative. A person’s vulnerability and religion are both linked to radicalization.
Imagine you are in the forest collecting sticks and twigs in an attempt to create some sort of sturdy object or, pillar that can withstand outside forces trying the break them. A single stick would likely break if you were to grab each end and try to bend it. If you were to add another twig it would take more force to break but, you would still be able to snap the sticks in half. As the analogy goes, the more sticks you add, the harder it becomes to bend and break the bundle. The same type of situation seems to be emphasized in James Scott’s article “Everyday Forms of Resistance”, in which the main idea keeps calling attention to the everyday forms of resistance demonstrated by lower class; the powerless individuals.
