The Suffragette: The History of the Women’s Militant Suffrage Movement (1911) was written in terms of the situation of suffragettes at the time, a moment in which the suffragettes and their actions were an issue for British politics. It can be seen as a chronology about the progression that the suffragette movement had from the early days of the organization until 1910. Another characteristic of this book is that it is written by a woman closely related to the organization, who could provide a different

Desiderius Erasmus, a priest of Dutch origin, is often claimed to be the first and most influential Christian humanist, whose works sought to reform the then-corrupt Church of Rome (Erasmus 21). In particular, his In Praise of Folly and The Militant Christian were extremely persuasive works that sought to reform the views of Christians in regards to their faith and the means by which they practiced their religion. Erasmus took on a sarcastic tone in his Praise of Folly, as he claimed that folly

An English evolutionary biologist and author, Dawkins is perhaps the most militant of the three. In fact, the TED talk he gave in 2002 was titled “Militant Atheism.” Throughout the talk, Dawkins shows his stance on religion, claiming it to be “corrosive to science,” as well as inherently trivial and stupid, with the implication that religious individuals are afraid

women were excluded from the political government, they pressured the government to grant them political rights. As part of the movement, in 1913, Pankhurst carried her appeal to the United States, where she delivered her famous speech Why Are We Militant. Therein, she expressed her ideas about women 's suffrage. She gave a talk to encourage American men and women to give political rights to women. In her speech, she states that both men and women are created equal and hence due to this equality women

Why did the campaign for women’s suffrage become militant between 1903 and 1914 and what, if anything, did this campaign achieve? The campaign for women's suffrage began in earnest in 1867, when Liberal MP John Stuart Mill, an influential thinker of classical liberalism, unsuccessfully attempted to amend the 1867 Reform Act. This piece of legislation enfranchised part of the urban male working class in England and Wales for the first time, but the amendment granting enfranchisement of all households

War. War never changes. That is, not until now. For thousands of years, war has been exclusively a terrestrial, mano-a-mano event, but much has changed in recent years. A sort of technological revolution has overcome society today and militaries are taking full advantage of any new inventions they can get their hands on. Perhaps the single most significant new military technology is remotely controlled drones. Military drones have uprooted the traditional ideas of what war was thought to be

something was missing in Blaustein’s documentary (and also from the debate about Montoneros that was taking place around that time), it was a political discussion that transcended a mere analysis of military objectives. Montoneros were Peronist militants who staked their identity on Perón’s approval, granted from afar while he was exiled in Spain. Nevertheless, when the political conditions made it such that the exiled leader could return, Montoneros became, paradoxically, not only collaborators

atmosphere and location of the book provide an uneasy feeling that is crucial to the militant aesthetic. The lonely house where the majority of the action takes place, High Place, is vividly described by Moreno-Garcia to evoke a feeling of dread and terror. The eerie mood that pervades the novel is heightened by the mansion's stifling atmosphere, moldy carpets, and rotting walls. In order to further emphasize the militant aesthetic, the author also incorporates horror clichés like ghosts and haunted homes

Islamists Militants are a close group of terrorists who commit crime or use violence as a result for what they want. According to the article there was a group of five or six men who injured the security guard and killed Mannan and his friend. Obedience is doing what an authority figure commands you to do. Although the scriptures Quran and Hadith didn’t tell the Islamist Militants to commit murder these scriptures condone violent behavior like murder and slavery. The Islamist Militants were obedient

As terrorism has risen in the world today, one may question why groups like ISIS or Al Qaeda conjure so much hate and terror. From these queries, the statement “War on Terror” has been formed, and along with that, the idea of Jihadist Militants starting a “Cosmic War”. In other words, a war with divine, religious purpose. The idea of a cosmic war has recently spread when a popular religious scholar, Reza Aslan stood behind this statement. Though there are many who support the idea of this kind of

concluded that ISIS is a problem that needs to be resolved as soon as possible. This militant group needs to be dealt in a serious and well-planned tactics. Knowing that ISIS has the ability to influence and to attract individuals to join their group is something that everyone should be afraid of.

attack, the militant organization called Anonymous “Idiots”, and now Anonymous wants to show ISIS what its idiot members can really do. Sounds interesting, isn’t it? Anonymous Vs.

Michael Bay brings yet another thrilling cinematic masterpiece back to the big screen in his new movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. The film is based on the book 13 Hours by Mitchell Zuckoff, which depicts the terrorist attack by Islamic militants at the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. The story is told from the perspective of the compound’s defenders, and aside from some character development, holds true to the actual events. Benghazi, Libya is named

the significance of the term ‘militant’, an attribute suffrage women were given based on their radical actions during this time. Suffrage women were described as militant due to their confrontational reactions and support for women’s rights which was sometimes perceived to be an unfavourable political cause. Many at this time, negatively applied the term ‘militant’ to the suffrages. But Pankhurst and her following cherished the

after the initial attack began. Over all, the attack lasted about 4 hours. “The bloodiest battle” since the war in Afghanistan began is what the battle of Wanat has come to be known as. Nine U.S. Soldiers killed, between 21 and 51 militants killed, and 20 to 40 militants injured at the completion of the battle. Shortly after the battle, the U.S. withdrew from the area (The Staff of the US Army Combat Studies Institute, 2010,

nonviolence. The author states “we advocate militant nonviolence” in the 7th paragraph. It should be noted that this quote appears right after Chavez discusses how violence is seen as an option by some in the first place. The word “militant” is designed to make it clear that the author does not mean “passive” when he says “nonviolent,” however, he does make it clear that nonviolence is a crucial part of militant nonviolence. In the context of the labor movement, “militant nonviolence” could mean aggressive

The peaceful campaigns and mass support was not enough for bills to be passed. Martin Pugh claimed that the moderate suffragists exercised a more significant influence than the militant suffragettes up to 1914 did and the period 1918 – 1928 did not witness a revolutionary change in the position and view of women. Martin Pugh is more critical about the women’s suffrage; he rejects the view that women’s work in the war was accountable for the development of women’s legal position in 1918. He has been

on the one hand, and its gender bias, on the other. In MIR’s strict value system, a true militant gave up everything for the revolution, disavowing affect and emotional attachments to parents, partners, and relatives. As many former female militants have asserted, the revolutionary organization became a kind of “uterus,” the place where all forms of social interaction and relationships took place. The militant, like Che Guevara, was the one who sacrificed himself and his family for the “people’s”
