Rebel Without A Cause Analysis

Faced with a large national debt as a result of the war, the newly founded republic, led by George Washington, instituted tariffs on certain domestic goods. The Whiskey Tax proved to be the most controversial of them all, because it targeted those who used whiskey as a method of trade. Unequally taxing the citizens, the Whiskey Tax sparked a rebellion led by the farmers of Western Pennsylvania. By stripping its citizens of their rights, the American republic modeled the very government that they had once rebelled against. The government’s response to the Whiskey Rebellion was a departure from the spirit of the American Revolution. Desperate to solidify the power of the majority, political leaders (especially Alexander Hamilton) relied on fear and oppression to assert its dominance over the states. By valuing the unity of the nation over the life and stability of the minority, the American government undid much of what the American Revolution had achieved.

“Tell me Jason what do you think will come out of the colonists rebelling against the crown,” William asked. “I am not really sure to think, but I am sure that if the rebellion ends with the colonists defeating the British then I am sure it will greatly affect the British empire,” I said. “It would also affect our society once the link between Britain and the colonies is broken I am sure that our kinds' link to the old world would also fade away.” “There are some vampires who believe that we should separate from the old world since they are so far away from us, and I would think that may be the true.” “Maybe you are right it takes weeks for a letter to reach the council, and I have been told that they have become very corrupt.” “I have heard

As an adult woman treated as property or told what to do is vandalizing once freedom to have a saying in the world. Abigail Adam’s, “Last Act of Defiance” uses diction and tone to help emphasize the unalienable rights women do not have and are being seen as property than an individual citizen with rights. In addition, Abigail Adam writes to her husband John Adam to not forget the rights for women. The reason for that is because women right were limited; not consider too much freedom when giving the meaningful signature signing away their freedom to their man; which is a sad challenge a woman had to face back in 1776. Another thing Mrs. Adams stood up for the rights of women by being a mini revolution. One

For Cause and Comrades by James M. McPherson consists of mostly of soldiers’ diaries and letters home as to why the men were fighting the Civil War. The initial motivation the union and confederacy sustain throughout the story proves that personal honor is valued more than their lives.

Just a year ago, we were all either participating in or witnessing a rebellion; Shay’s Rebellion.

The video that I watched was about Shay’s Rebellion that happened on January 25 1787.Washinton reigned on November 2, 1783. That same year he rode to New Jersey to sign the Peace Treaty. During the 1780’s was when the American Revolution ended and was when the most critical period happened. Thousands of people died, a lot of farmers lost their crops.

Shays group were rebels because of the actions his group and himself took. John Hancock had called them “ unhappy and deluded offenders”. Because of their actions with the government, it showed that they were rebels. They would march up with pitchforks in hands ready to fight back with the government. These actions showed that they weren’t freedom fighters, but rebels.

Leisler’s Rebellion, started by Jacob Leisler, disagreed with British rule and took over the government. This rebellion created a division of people who were for and against his cause. Governor Robert Hunter was able to make New York at ease again, but governor William Cosby started the controversy over salary funds. Lewis Morris, who was a member of the supreme court, disagreed with Cosby and because of that he was relieved of his duties and he established the New York Weekly Journal to make light of the injustice. The paper taken down two months later and editor, John Zenger, was arrested and freed of charges because of the right to free press. Pennsylvania was made up of two parties: the Proprietary and the Quakers. Neither of them agreed

Shay’s Rebellion, in many history books, is often given no more than a short paragraph. This leads many people to believe that the rebellion was unimportant to the constitutional history of the United States. However, as is often the case, truth is rarely ever that simple. The real story of Shay’s Rebellion is complex and long and, most importantly, highly influential in America’s constitutional history.

When reading multiple perspectives of the same event, the experience is often very eye opening. History told through cloudy judgement, so reading contrasting accounts of the Stono Rebellion was nothing short of interesting. Both perspectives are considerably different; that is true. However, there is important information to be extracted from each of the writings.

Rebellion is a common theme in both Rebel Without a Cause, directed by Nicholas Ray and Bonnie and Clyde by Arthur Penn, acts of rebellion create dramatic, memorable scenes that help create relatable characters and struggles. When one parallels the two films and the characters portrayed in them, it is clear to see that both Jim are Clyde are similar. One unforgettable scene from Rebel Without a Cause, is the chickie run that Jim competes in against Buzz, just to prove he is not a chicken. But Buzz’s sleeve gets caught in his door handle and falls to his unwilling death; In this case, Buzz’s rebellion leads to death. Just like Jim, Clyde also does darning things for the sake of self-preservation, this is shown when he robs the bank in front

In the wake of 1896, it was clear Spain had endured failure during the Cuban Rebellion. The Spanish and their leader, General Valeriano Weyler, had to come up with a way to take back control of their colony which the Cubans had seem to overtake. General Weyler was a cruel unjust individual who had mischievous ways of how he envisioned on taking back the control of his colony. General Weyler convinced a large segregation of Cubans to live in Concentration camp, claiming it was for their protection. What the Cubans did not know was that they going to endure torture and pain until the end of their life. With a reconcentration policy enforced by General Weyler, Cubans had to report to the camps within a certain amount of days, or else they would

The road to independence was a struggle for the American colonists. It marked not only the end of a tyrannical rule by King George, but also the creation of a world power. This voyage to democracy began in Boston, Massachusetts in 1770, after Captain Thomas Preston was accused of commanding his troops to fire on a mob of rioting civilians led by the rebel group the Sons of Liberty. This event, known as the Boston Massacre started one of the greatest uprisings in history. Preston sought out John Adams as his lawyer. Revolutionaries like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and General Thomas Gage all possessed certain qualities that paved the way for what American independence. At first, the disorganized colonies lead

In its Ethics of Dissent- Managing Guerrilla Government, Rosemary O’Leary provides a sobering description on bureaucratic sabotage in federal government through stories of dissenting public officials named as “guerrillas” or “administrative guerrillas”. Guerrillas are the one who engage in irregular warfare as a member of an independent unit and they are the one who are willing to see the change in the public organizations (pg. 4). Dissatisfaction from the actions of public institutions makes the guerrillas to work against the wishes of superiors or organizational norms either implicitly or explicitly and to make a push back against the management to do what they believe is the right thing which can be termed as “guerrilla government” (p. xi). According to O’Leary majority of the guerrilla governments occur because of the inevitable tension between bureaucracy and democracy that will never go away and they are undetectable because of uninvolving world of bureaucracy (pg. 3, 8). This tension in turn create ethical and management challenges including the harsh realities which all the public servants must learn to steer.
