Civil disobedience involves the open refusal to obey certain laws or commands from a government or occupying power. It is a non-violent way to fight for change, as shown by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and activists like Rosa Parks who fought segregation laws in the United States through peaceful protest and civil disobedience. Figures like Henry David Thoreau and those who broke down the Berlin Wall also demonstrated how civil disobedience can be used to enact political and social change without violence.

Genre case study
Film noir is a genre of mystery and crime dramas produced from the 1940s to 1950s that were typically shot in black and white. These films often featured stories of doomed heroes, cynical detectives, and femme fatales. The genre was influenced by German Expressionism in the 1910s-1920s and French poetic realism of the 1930s. Some of the earliest examples include Michael Curtiz's 1932 film 20,000 Years in Sing Sing. John Huston's 1941 film The Maltese Falcon is considered one of the first major film noir classics. Other iconic films noirs include Carol Reed's 1949 film The Third Man and Billy Wilder's 1950 film Sunset Boulevard, starring Gloria Swanson
History of film noir
Film noir emerged in the 1940s as a style of black-and-white American crime and detective films that reflected the post-war era of anxiety, pessimism, and suspicion. The genre took advantage of the mood of the times to tell dark stories of anti-heroes embroiled in crime, violence, and moral corruption. Classic film noir developed between the 1940s-1960s and featured convoluted, nonlinear plots and foreboding music that kept viewers on edge. Common elements included corrupt characters like detectives, gangsters, and sociopaths in bleak stories that rarely had happy endings.
Dashiell Hammett
Samuel Dashiell Hammett was an American author born in 1894 who wrote hard-boiled detective novels and worked as a Pinkerton operative until 1922, drawing on this experience for his writing. In 1934, after publishing his most famous work The Thin Man, Hammett's writing career declined as he embarked on a tumultuous relationship with playwright Lillian Hellman, producing little further art of his own. He died of lung cancer in 1961 at age 66.
Conventions
Film noir developed after World War II, featuring dark themes that reflected postwar anxiety and pessimism. These films often told stories of antiheroes like hardboiled detectives encountering manipulative "femme fatales." While not technically a genre, film noir describes a style and tone of black-and-white American crime films from the 1940s-1960s that portrayed a bleak worldview where characters faced themes of betrayal, violence, and despair.
Film noir
Film noir is a film genre that depicts cynical crime dramas through dark themes of fear, mistrust, and despair. It was influenced by German expressionism and American crime fiction of the early 20th century. The term "film noir" was coined by French film critic Nino Frank in 1946 to describe the dark visual style and themes present in many American films being released in France at the time. A femme fatale is a common stock character - a mysterious and seductive woman who ensnares her lovers and often leads them into dangerous or deadly situations through her hidden motives and feminine wiles.
German expressionism
German expressionism was an artistic movement in Germany between 1910-1930 that portrayed psychological states through distorted forms and unnatural colors. It began as a reaction to World War I and the isolation Germany felt, but gained international popularity after the war. Notable films like Fritz Lang's Metropolis used expressionist techniques like stark contrasts, shadows, and irregular shapes to depict inner emotions rather than realistic surfaces. This new style of filmmaking influenced genres like horror and film noir and continues to impact modern cinema through conventions adopted from early German expressionist works.
Hitler, portrait of a tyrant
Adolf Hitler was the central figure that led to World War II in Europe. Without Hitler, Germany likely would not have taken the aggressive actions that started the war even with its problems after World War I. Additionally, Japan probably would not have aggressively expanded in the Pacific if not for the German threat in Europe. Hitler had a vitriolic personality characterized by five traits - intense hate, a desire for revenge, a belief in his own mission from providence, no moral scruples, and a fundamental belief that force was the solution to any problem.
German expressionism and Film Noir Themes
German Expressionism was a film movement that used stylistic elements like asymmetric camera angles, high contrast lighting, and reflective surfaces. It reflected the mood in Germany after World War 1. Key elements included chiaroscuro lighting, a focus on mirrors/reflections, and how humans react to inhuman things. Themes included madness, insanity, and betrayal. Fritz Lang was an influential German Expressionist director who fled Nazi Germany and brought the style to America. German Expressionism influenced the development of Film Noir, known for its dark themes of paranoia, despair, and femme fatales. Both genres reflected the psychological effects of war and changes in social norms.

The great dictator. charlie chapline
Hitler rose to power in Germany during the 1930s by using propaganda, speeches, and symbolism to spread his ideology of nationalism and anti-Semitism. He established over 1,000 concentration camps where around 1 million prisoners died, and enacted laws that systematically removed Jews from German society.

It used stylistic techniques like sharp angles, dramatic shadows, and high contrast lighting to create a sense of paranoia and unease. One of its most famous films, Metropolis, showed the divisions in German society between the upper and working classes.

Hum2250 civil disobedience & civil rights movement political action for change
This document discusses the history and philosophy of civil disobedience and nonviolent protest as tools for social change, beginning with Thoreau's refusal to pay an unjust tax and coinage of the term "civil disobedience." It then covers Gandhi's development of the concept of satyagraha and its use in India's independence movement. Finally, it outlines the American Civil Rights Movement's adoption of these tactics, led by Martin Luther King Jr., to challenge Jim Crow laws and racial segregation through peaceful demonstrations, lawsuits, and voter registration drives.
The rise of hitler 2012
Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany after World War 1. He was unhappy with the Treaty of Versailles and joined the Nazi party in 1920. As the leader, he believed Germans were a superior race and that they needed more land for empire. In 1923, Hitler tried to overthrow the German government but failed and was imprisoned. While in prison, he wrote Mein Kampf outlining his racist beliefs. After release, he grew the Nazi party's popularity until being appointed Chancellor in 1933. He then consolidated power and established a fascist dictatorship, oppressing minorities and censoring opposition.
Anarchismtalk 100712183823-phpapp01
This document provides an overview of anarchism through a philosophical introduction. It discusses anarchism in history through examples in Mexico, Ukraine, the USA and Spain. It explores what anarchism is not through quotes asserting it is not chaos or violence. Anarchism is defined as the absence of government and a theoretical state with no governing body. The document examines criticisms of representative democracy and arguments for direct democracy with communities directly participating in decision making. It presents methods for decision making in an anarchist system and ways to extend democracy to areas like education, consumer decisions and workplace organization.
A Philosophical Introduction to Anarchism
Anarchism advocates for a stateless society without hierarchies or centralized forms of coercive government. It envisions self-governed communities and organizations that are voluntarily coordinated through direct democracy and non-hierarchical decision-making. Anarchists oppose all forms of domination and instead support freedom, equality, and cooperation. They argue for extending democratic principles from political systems into other areas of society, including the economy and education.
Historical monograph
The document discusses how Hitler did not have clear long-term plans for his empire and made decisions reactively, which led to the brutal murder of millions, and how the Nazi regime maintained power through instilling extreme fear and brutality against any resistance. It also notes that while the Nazi rule was horrific, it did eventually force other nations to intervene and established new international order led by the United States after the war ended.
Legacyofww i
The document summarizes key events leading up to World War II, including the rise of isolationism in the US after WWI, war debts and reparations that strained relations, and the growth of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union. It describes Hitler's consolidation of power in Germany in the 1930s, annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia in violation of treaties, and the failed appeasement at the Munich Conference. This set the stage for Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939, leading Britain and France to declare war, marking the start of WWII.
Rise New Leaders & Ideas - Europe 1930s
The document discusses the rise of new political ideologies and leaders in Europe during the 1930s. It introduces totalitarianism and describes its key characteristics, including complete government control over all aspects of society, nationalism, censorship, propaganda, a single charismatic leader, and conformity. It then profiles the main totalitarian ideologies that emerged during this period: communism under Joseph Stalin, fascism under Benito Mussolini, and Nazism under Adolf Hitler. The document also outlines some of the key organizations and policies used by the Nazi regime in Germany to maintain control, and discusses the failed policy of appeasement used by countries towards Nazi Germany that ultimately contributed to the start of World War II.
Hist a390 anarchy fear and loathing the public perception of anarchists
The document discusses public perceptions of anarchists and images of violence. It notes that states often overreacted to the limited threat posed by anarchists with restrictive legislation and violence of their own. Violence was sometimes justified by workers and anarchists as self-defense against state and capitalist violence towards strikers. The era saw many violent clashes between workers and authorities. Some anarchists advocated "propaganda by the deed," violent acts to draw attention, though most anarchists engaged in non-violent political and social organizing. States exploited fears to pass repressive laws and increase surveillance of radicals.
Voice Matters: It Always Has and It Always Will
This document contains quotes and brief biographies of influential figures in civil rights and social justice movements. The quotes reflect themes of courage in facing fears and challenging injustice, the importance of nonviolent action over words, and continuing struggles for equality and human rights. The biographies describe civil rights leaders and activists such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, John Lewis, and Bayard Rustin who worked to end racial segregation and discrimination in the United States through protests, court cases, and political leadership.
Essay 1 400 – 700 wordsOn July 27, 1936, President Franklin Roo.docx
Essay 1: 400 – 700 words
On July 27, 1936, President Franklin Roosevelt accepted his re-nomination as the Democratic Party’s presidential choice. He would go on to win re-election that year, again in 1940, and again in 1944, dying in office in April of 1945 just as the war in Europe ended. Below is an excerpt from his 1936 acceptance speech. Using the material provided in this class and your ability to analyze primary sources, please explain the context for the speech.
When Roosevelt spoke of a “rendezvous with destiny,” what did he mean?
To successfully answer this question, you need to address three other queries related to the text and the material. What framework would the audience have from previous events? What values is he asking the audience to embrace? What events of the next decade is FDR foreshadowing?
.... That very word freedom, in itself and of necessity, suggests freedom from some restraining power ... man’s inventive genius released new forces in our land which reordered the lives of our people. The age of machinery, of railroads; of steam and electricity; the telegraph and the radio; mass production, mass distribution—all of these combined to bring forward a new civilization and with it a new problem for those who sought to remain free.
For out of this modern civilization economic royalists carved new dynasties. New kingdoms were built upon concentration of control over material things. Through new uses of corporations, banks and securities, new machinery of industry and agriculture, of labor and capital—all undreamed of by the fathers—the whole structure of modern life was impressed into this royal service.
There was no place among this royalty for our many thousands of small businessmen and merchants who sought to make a worthy use of the American system of initiative and profit. They were no more free than the worker or the farmer. Even honest and progressive-minded men of wealth, aware of their obligation to their generation, could never know just where they fitted into this dynastic scheme of things.
For too many of us the political equality we once had won was meaningless in the face of economic inequality. A small group had concentrated into their own hands an almost complete control over other people’s property, other people’s money, other people’s labor—other people’s lives. For too many of us life was no longer free; liberty no longer real; men could no longer follow the pursuit of happiness.
Today we stand committed to the proposition that freedom is no half-and-half affair. If the average citizen is guaranteed equal opportunity in the polling place, he must have equal opportunity in the market place.
Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales.
Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a Govern ...
