    Haitian Revolution DBQ

    The concepts of equality and liberty drove revolutionaries to expel their colonial overlords to abolish slavery and create an equal and just society. The idea of equality appealed to lower class Americans such as mestizos, mulattoes and natives, but especially inspired black slaves. Lower class Americans believed a revolution would move them up in society to the level of creoles while slaves saw revolutions as a way to gain freedom. Haiti’s declaration of independence in 1904, showed slaves’ motivations by stating that they would rather die than be forced back into in slavery and that they must create a government that protects the Haitians’ freedom. As former slaves, the Haitians were extremely worried the French would try to invade them again, as Napoleon had tried to do to fund his wars in Europe. Thus,…

    The social disorganization theory can be used to explain looting in New Orleans because all of the details of the theory play a part in some communities in New Orleans. A lot of those communities are near the central business district. Just like in Chicago, this zone was not a desirable location for residents and homes, but was close to work so the less fortunate lived their because of lack of transportation and jobs where easier to get being so close. As Shaw and Mckay stated in chapter 4, this was a zone of transition. The community changed a lot because people moved in and out constantly. When they were fortunate to be able to move to better areas, more of the less fortunate moved in. This began to trigger social conflict between the residences. With social conflict came a lot of other behaviors and with this process happening over and over a pattern starts. Cultural transmission theory comes in to play here. Adolescents grow up in and environment where drugs, violence, poverty, and broken homes are all they see. They are more likely to fall victim to the environment they live in because that is all they know. After this happens for decades and decades, perception sets in and we don’t view them as individuals but as a certain type of person. During hurricane Katrina all the people that lived in those areas of poverty had no means of transportation to leave. They stayed hoping and praying they could survive the storm. When it came they were flooded, trapped on the roofs of houses and buildings for days with no water or shelter and no signs that help was coming soon. They soon started to do what was already happening in their community. It was almost like instinct set in. For years and years they saw their peers commit crimes to survive. So they started to loot, taking the things they need to survive. They were also taking things they didn’t need like weapons. These weapons were used to protect themselves from each other and corrupt police officers. It…

    While surfing social media, whether regularly or irregularly, one most likely stumbles across a picture with the text “Like this picture to support Haiti” or “Show you care about (insert cause here) by liking and sharing this picture with all of your friends.” On the surface, these types of images seem harmless and actually beneficial. People gain the mindset that if they provide support for the icon in the form of “likes,” then they directly help those that the image shows the cause for. The producer of the photo however believes that this type of mindset causes deeper problems than what the social media poster actually intends. People stop volunteering and start liking pictures on social media to show what they call “solidarity” with those…

    I am currently a senior Political Science major, History minor, with a concentration in International Relations. I am also the chairman of the Howard University NAACP Political Action Committee. I am an academic, I am a student leader, but more importantly, I am a servant.

Just recently in December I was fortunate enough to go on a service trip to South Africa with the YAALI program. There we did community service and connected with our brothers and sisters on the continent. This was a very impressionable experience for me, especially because it was my first time leaving…

    The film presents nearly 100 people of New Orleans of different nationalities, social branches and a wide range of opinions. It also presents a cast of co-conspirators criminals, among whom are George Bush and his gang, as well as racism, poverty and police brutality.

The stories, the horror, grief, frustration and anger reveal the magnitude and depth of the crimes that persist.

    Following hurricane Katrina many people wonder whether the country’s worst natural disaster was due to a lack of preparation by the government or more with race or with class. The media showed nearly all those left behind to suffer and die were black Americans – basically looking like race. However, those families who had resources to afford homes in safer flood-protected area suffered less than poorer families, which seemed more of a class issue. There was no denying it that most of the death was that of poor and black Americans. As a result, the public believed that racism slowed the government response to Hurricane Katrina and its…
