The Importance Of Dishonesty In Britain
This is a brilliant work of the historical digging job that exposes the foundation of modern Britain in the (shameful or disgraceful acts or situations) of empire.

(making people act like decent people) the "native" necessarily involved the practice of shocking cruelty, the statement of (related to kings, queens, emperors, etc.) independent power (of a country)demanded the exercise of cruelty (from a king or queen).

    This work explores the phenomenon of England’s use of exile during the 12th-14th centuries, which was employed as an alternative to proper trial and/or the death penalty in cases of criminal conviction. The book begins with a discussion of abjuration, which is the act of renouncing citizenship and allowing oneself to be expelled from the country. Jordan argues that abjuration into perpetual exile was not a punishment following trial but rather a mitigation of punishment; in better terms, mercy. (More specifically, the author distinguishes this form of mercy as “fearsome,” meaning it was employed because of its uncertain outcomes). The system of abjuration was supported by most Medieval leaders, though this does not necessarily imply there was popular enthusiasm for it. Though a rare occurrence, abjurers would sometimes attempt to break sanctuary out of fear for…

    As things are for now, I see this mémoire as a sort of case study of the perceptions of national and colonial identities by Britons within the Empire through the examples of the Indian Mutiny and the Morant Bay Rebellion. I believe that studying the tensions generated by revolts is a good means of getting to the bottom of one's…

    In final analysis, it is clear that Kupperman provided a technical examination of the true “savages” in the New World. She writes to emphasize the importance of knowing the distinction between the English’s perception of treachery and what treachery truly is. Kupperman does this by providing accounts of what occurred in the New World. This article appeals to readers interested in knowing more about contradicting views of treacherous savagery. Kupperman’s article is an excellent read, worthy enough to be considered “research material” that can help historians and…

    Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask, gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions…

    Olaudah Equiano Dishonesty

    • 1083 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Olaudah Equiano has long been known as an inspiration, a creative genius, and as a daring abolitionist. However, in recent years, he has also been known by some slightly more derogatory terms, such as liar and fraud. In 1999, certain findings by Vincent Carretta suggest that Equiano may not have been born in Africa, as he claims to in his autobiography The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African, Written by Himself, but actually may have been born in South Carolina. These findings have opened up a controversial debate among many literary critics and historians, not only about whether or not Equiano misrepresented his place of birth, but also about whether his fabrication…

    Royalty is a term we like to associate with elegance, sophistication, and luxury. They’re the envy of all as they seem to live an extravagant lifestyle filled with exotic trips, an unlimited supply of money, and a stress-free life. But what is often overlooked, is the overwhelming responsibility they have to be the face of a country. Sir George Savile, a member of England’s King Charles II’s Privy Council, attempts to persuade his audience to think of King Charles II as a beloved individual who has suffered greatly, but refused to show it for the sake of his people. Savile succeeds in this by using metaphors, imagery, and allusion.…

    “Queen Elizabeth was queen of England from 1558 until her death in 1603. Her reign is often called the Golden Age or the Elizabethan Age because it was a time of great achievement in England (Elizabeth 1).” Although a time of great achievement, many people of England were forced to turn to a life of crime, either because their peers shunned them or they were fortuneless. Many offenses were petty, but a lot of them were extreme. There were three main things that were most alluring of all, minor offenses and consequences, large-scale crime, and instruments for torture.…

Prime Ministers change continuously and don't understand how to govern the country and could not keep their business out of the papers '...Knew the business of avoiding the undesirable publicity than Sir James Brown.', 'Last week's prime Minister... finished the last bottle.' showing Outrage to be doped and out of control.

Second, Integrity may cause conflict that is must be resolved. It does not necessarily produce or protect interpersonal harmony. Third, a person who has integrity can be trusted. It does not avoid the restructuring of social structures and associations, because it leaves the matter to exercise of interpersonal authority.…

    Wergeld: Price of Life

    • 2115 Words
    • 9 Pages

    In Anglo-Saxon England widely accepted social systems and traditional concepts could function in place of official authority to determine matters that would later require legal intervention :. rights of inheritance, marriage, land ownership, and settlement of disputes. Quarrels could arise for any number of reasons including but not limited to, manslaughter, property disagreements, and insults to honor. When these conflicts of interest occurred, instead of seeking outside authorities, it was expected that family would intercede and seek retribution or restitution on their kindreds behalf. Richard Fletcher reports that feuding was “governed by accepted social convention.” and “recognized by outsiders as a regular form of relationship.”1 This kind of intercession could easily provoke already delicate situations into violence. While the feuding may have been accepted, and even encouraged in certain situations, the Anglo-Saxons knew their society would not be able to function if every conflict came to a violent end. The wergeld established an alternative to claiming blood vengeance. The guilty individual or his family could make restitution in the form of monetary compensation. The historian Wallace-Hadrill points out “. . . the reality of the bloodier alternative was the sanction that made composition possible…
