Violence Against Native Californian Women

When the Mission was under control of Friar Fray Peyri, the natives were forced into working and doing the strenuous activities that they did not sign up for. Mission San Luis Rey is noted to be the mission to have the most convert or neophytes, but it is not listed as to how many voluntarily converted or were forced to for labor (California Missions Resource Center). As seen in our textbook, many natives were forced to convert by soldiers and other threats. Though not noted through the website, the natives in the southern regions of California were far more hostile towards the missions than the others. In the previous years before the Mission San Luis Rey was even founded as an official mission, the destruction of the San Diego Mission occurred due to the native uprising against the Spanish forces invading their land.

This violent depiction is the beginning of the revenge cycle the play portrays. The aforementioned event is an act of systemic violence: it is legally permitted by Rome, but the in the aftermath is catastrophic for Tamora and her family. The potential for aggression is intrinsic to Roman law, and a customary penance in the juridical capacity is by all accounts an appropriate reaction; no disagreements are taken note of. However, the caliber of legally-sanctioned violence becomes problematic when Titus executes one of his own sons for defiance. Tamora’s resolve get the most violent revenge possible – ‘I’ll find a day to massacre them all, | And raze their faction and their family (1.1.455-6) – continues into her implementing the same inhuman brutality that has been displayed by the Romans.

They sensed treason, and evicted Christians from the friendly treatment the should have been granted. The article Christianity and the Roman Empire by Dr. Sophie Lunn-Rockliffe reads, “Thus the classic test of a Christian’s faith was to force him or her, on pain of death, to swear by the emperor and offer incense to his images, or to sacrifice to the gods.” This passage explains the terror of the Romans, for they felt that the Christians were deliberately jeopardizing the Roman Empire by angering their gods. There are many more reasons as to why Christians were persecuted by the inhabitants of Rome, but these are the major elucidations. The persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire started to die down around 250 A.C. For almost two centuries, the suffering and martyrdom the Christians experienced became almost a dull routine

Even though civilians and soldiers were equally responsible for the sexual atrocities committed against the women, there is barely a single lawsuit case against them, and I think it may have been due to the lack of clarity of the laws regarding rape. Soldiers were allowed to get away with such crimes without punishment, and punishing the civilians and soldiers could have been double standards. Also, for Soviet soldiers, by using the term ‘vengeance’ to explain their abuse of sex on German women seems not sufficient. I argue that originally making female subject to male dominance in any sense is a way of showing men’s masculinity. Apart from protecting women and children in Soviet villages, Soviet soldiers in Germany were showing their strength and virility to German soldiers that they were able to beat and defeat them, not only from battlefield (physically) but also in Germany women’s bedrooms.

Mafiosi take this creed to the next level, murdering those whom do not follow it exactly. Mafiosi are discouraged from consuming alcohol and drugs because one becomes inebriated and is more likely to reveal secret information while in that state. Mafiosi even enforce Omerta to the general public, intimidating civilians to buy their protections. Both Cosa Nostra and the Catholic Church have a hierarchy formed. For Cosa Nostra the main Boss makes all major decisions and consults the underboss for assistance.

In the former Yugoslavia, Serbia and there leader Slobodan Milosevic used violence and genocide to further his country’s agenda. He encouraged the use of rape and violence to gain control and spread fear between ethnic groups. This immaculate these effected people further proving to point that there is a link between war and masculinity. A similar point can be seen in the Civil War in Rwanda. Rape was encouraged as part of the war effort, ”Tutsi women were portrayed as flaunting their physical attributes, tempting Hutu men to lust and Hutu women to resentment.

Perspective is a vital part of a person. Papa’s strict, Catholic beliefs influence him to punish his children and to abhor the Igbo culture, while Kambili and Jaja have a contrasting viewpoint after being exposed to Papa-Nnukwu’s beliefs, causing them to combat Papa’s actions. Similarly, Okonkwo believes strength is violence. His interpretation causes him to kill Ikemefuna. Nwoye, on the other hand, has a distinct outlook.

Many succumb to pleading guilty and never have the opportunity to speak with a lawyer or public defender. The war on drugs propagated by the prison-industrial complex is a failed draconian system that should be replaced with an emphasis on rehabilitation and removing the focus on low-level offenders that do not significant reduce the drugs on the market. The film The House I Live In by Eugene Jarecki, highlights similar problems that people, especially low-income minorities face when dealing with the justice system. Lack

Human nature is an underlying theme of the Bible, as we are shown time and time again when God destroys large groups of people, sometimes even everyone, it is because of our inherently corrupt human nature. While the idea of original sin is a Catholic one, it seems that without Gods laws and influence humans descend into hedonism and chaos, which means that humanity needs his laws to prevent that. God walks a fine line between being the strict lawmaker, but also creating laws that take into consideration human nature. In Exodus 32 we read about the creation of the Golden Calf and descent of the Israelites down the path of idolatry, which Moses warned them was a great sin against God. Moses reasons with God, and is able convince him that he should not destroy his chosen people, and

The social evil ordinance didn’t allow for street prostitution and it funneled much that activity indoors. For instance, the Chief of Police, James McDonough, stated in his annual report of 1872 that the number of street prostitutes “have been almost entirely discontinued” and child prostitution “has been greatly diminished, if not wholly removed.” These results should have spurred further debate as to how to modify their regulatory system to include common-sense, middle-ground compromises to ensure the women’s basic rights. However, this experiment was too politically controversial for its time. Thus, the city discontinued this policy in 1874 largely due to organized lobbying efforts from religious and feminist leaders, including the wife of the St. Louis Police

His followers believed they were under obligation to fight a holy war (Pg. 73). In war, people are trained to take horrific action against other human beings. It is unfortunate how many wars have been fought in the name of God. Personally, I feel we should put an end to violence and the extension of US power.

The word colonization referred to the action or process of settling among and establishing control over indigenous people of a particular area. When we look at the Europeans, we can see they did just that when they reached the New World. The settlers used force to get what they wanted, and they wanted everything of value, including land and labor, and to get this they needed to change the Native people, The Europeans treated the Natives very un-human, despising their religions and traditions, and demanding they convert to Christianity as well as denying their humanity. The enslavement Natives endured severe punishment and extremely horrible working conditions on these plantations. The English settlers began to push the Natives off their land

If someone were to tell another person that their belief system is wrong, of course they would most likely be reluctant to agree with that statement. The hostility of the Natives is best understood through their resistance against the Spaniards. The original inhabitants were reluctant to agree with all that the Spanish. But their weaponry was no match for the Spaniards’ advanced technology. The Nahua people and other indigenous people were not strong enough to battle these conquerors.

The first contact between the Natives and puritans was for trade and diplomacy only. The puritans though that they needed to teach the native their religion, but they where still too outnumbered by the natives to try that until after the war. The puritans were very hostile and they did not let the natives into their colonies. They were racist and they even robbed some of the natives graves. The natives were relatively chill, but they did have their faults, considering people just came and invaded their land.

Although, they are unified because the people that went into the reserves were mostly lied to, and wanted the best for their family. However, this is debatable, they are less unified because the people that fought for their land mostly got shot and killed because the Europeans had better weapons and they also had guns when the Ojibwe had spears and such, and if they worked together less people could of died, they also lost their way of life during these horrific events and were
