The document discusses the story of Tommie Smith and John Carlos, two US athletes who raised clenched fists at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics in support of human rights and as a symbol of the black power movement. They were punished for their political protest by having their medals revoked. Their actions brought attention to the ongoing civil rights struggle in the US at that time. The document also examines factors that influence whether social divisions based on differences like ethnicity, religion or class become destabilizing for a society or not. These include how identities are perceived, whether demands challenge or respect the interests of other groups, and how justly governments accommodate minority communities.

CHAPTER FOUR
Ways of Seeing Power and Privilege
When Halley was in divinity school, she took a class from a scholar of Native American
religions, who was herself Native American. Halley’s professor started her lecture on the first
day by noting that while there are many Native American Indian groups in the United States, the
“Wannabe Indians” are the biggest tribe.1 Jokingly, Halley’s professor was referring to the
many ways white Americans have adopted and appropriated pieces of Native American
culture. The “Want-to-be Indians” often take the pieces out of context with little understanding
of the history and society from which they came. For example, one can visit most New Age
religious businesses and find that, while the business caters largely to a white clientele, the
products being sold include numerous artifacts understood by the business to be Native
American. Some of the white customers go so far as to identify with being Native American, or
at least their understanding of what it means to be Native American, taking new names and
practicing what they believe to be a Native American religion. Often a piece of the
identification romanticizes the “noble savage” as a person who is both in sync with nature and
at odds with the modern world.
Not only is the decontextualized appropriation of colonized Native American cultures
problematic, this romanticizing dehumanizes indigenous people in that it replicates a dualistic
framework common in western thought (as discussed in chapter 3). In this thinking Native
Americans are less human, more animalistic, and earthier than other human beings. Further, this
romanticization of Native Americans is problematic because of the slippery nature of race in
this thinking. Can white Americans simply be Native American when it suits them? Can
someone from outside of a culture and a race simply make a choice to switch into that racial
group? The Irish immigrants discussed in chapter 3 became white. Like them, can white people
become another race, too?
In chapter 3 we established that race is socially constructed. Where do we go from there?
How do we understand race, given social construction? In this chapter, we explore different
ways of identifying with and understanding one’s own and other people’s races. We explore
three ways social movements have understood and framed race: identity politics,
intersectionality, and cultural materialism. We conclude with cultural materialism (introduced
in chapter 1) because we believe it to be the most valuable given its potential for empowering
people and bringing about a more just society.
Race is socially, not biologically, constructed, and thus fluid. In other words, we are not
genetically raced but socially raced. This fluidity does not mean that anyone can switch races,
like changing jobs or getting a new hairstyle. Race is not a matter of pure individ ...

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Racial Discrimination
It refers to the ideology that discriminates
people on the basis of their skin colour.
The ‘whites’ consider themselves superior
than the ‘blacks’
4. A Story from Mexico Olympics
1. The story depicts an important landmark in the
history of the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN THE
UNITED STATES.
2. The two men standing with clenched fists upraised
and head bowed are the US athletes, Tommie Smith
and John Carlos.
3. The International Olympics Association held Carlos
and Smith guilty of violating the Olympic spirit by
making a political statement.
4. Their medals were taken back.
5. Back home, they were subjected to a lot of
criticism even Norman had also suffered a lot, he was
not included in the next Olympics.
6. But their action gained attention for the Civil Rights
Movements in the US.
5. Action – international Olympic
association
The International Olympic Association
held Carlos and Smith guilty of violating
the Olympic spirit by making a political
statement.
Their medals were taken back. Back
home, they were subjected to a lot of
criticism.
Norman too suffered for his action and
was not included in the Australian team
for the next Olympic.
6. Origins of social differences
1. These social differences are mostly based on an accident
of birth.
2. We don’t choose to belong to our community.
3. But all kinds of social differences are not based on our
birth.
4. Some of the differences are based on our choices.
5. For example, some people are atheists. They don’t
believe in God or any religion.
6. Every social difference does not lead to social divisions.
7. In the instances above, Carlos and Smith were similar in
one way and thus different from Norman who was white.
8. But they were also all similar in another way – they
were all athletes who stood against racial discrimination.
9. We all have more than one identity and can belong to
more than one social group.
10. We have different identities in different contexts.
7. Overlapping differences
Social division takes place when some social
difference overlaps with other differences.
The difference between the Blacks and
Whites becomes a social division in the US
because the Blacks tend to be poor, homeless
and discriminated against.
In our country Dalits tend to be poor and
landless. They often face discrimination and
injustice.
Situations of this kind produce social
divisions, when one kind of social difference
becomes more important than the other and
people start feeling that they belong to
different communities.
8. cross-cutting differences
If social differences cross cut one another, it is
difficult to pit one group of people against the other.
It means that groups that share a common interest
on one issue are likely to be in different sides on a
different issue.
Consider the cases of Northern Ireland and the
Netherlands. Both are predominantly Christian but
divided between Catholics and Protestants.
In Northern Ireland, class and religion overlap with
each other. If you are Catholic, you are also more
likely to be poor, and you may have suffered a history
of discrimination.
In the Netherlands, class and religion tend to cut
across each other. Catholics and Protestants are
about equally likely to be poor or rich.
The result is that Catholics and Protestants have had
conflicts in Northern Ireland, while they do not do so
in the Netherlands
10. Homogeneous & Heterogeneous
society
Homogeneous society‘
A society that has similar kinds of
people without caste, religion, race,
economic ethnic differences.
Heterogeneous Society
A society which has different kinds of
people such as many caste, religion, race,
ethnicity, economic status
11. Range of outcomes
In Northern Ireland, its population is divided into two
major sects of Christianity: 53 per cent are Protestants,
while 44 per cent are Roman Catholics.
The Catholics were represented by Nationalist parties who
demanded that Northern Ireland be unified with the
Republic of Ireland, a predominantly Catholic country.
Protestants were represented by Unionists who wanted to
remain with the UK, which is predominantly protestant.
Hundreds of civilians, militants and security forces were
killed in the fight between Unionists (represented the
Protestants) and Nationalists (represented the Catholics)
and between the security forces of the UK and the
Nationalists.
Political competition along religious and ethnic lines
resulted in the disintegration of Yugoslavia into six
independent countries.
Social divisions affect voting in most of the countries.
People from one community tend to prefer some party
more than the others.
However, social division does not lead to disintegration of
the country if it is respected and dealt with properly.

14. Three Determinants
Three factors decide the outcome of politics
of social divisions.
(i)It depends on how people perceive their
identities. If people see that their identities
are multiple and are complementary with the
national identity, then it becomes easy to
accommodate.
Northern Ireland saw themselves as only
Catholic or Protestant, their differences were
difficult to resolve.
A majority of Belgians now feel that they are
as much Belgian as they are Dutch or
German-speaking. This helps them to stay
together.
15. Three Determinants
(ii)Demands that are within the
constitutional framework and are not at
the cost of another community become
easier to accommodate.
The demand for ‘only Sinhala’ was at the
cost of the interest and identity of the
Tamil community in Sri Lanka.
16. Three Determinants
(iii)It depends on how justly the
government reacts to the demands of the
different groups.
The rulers are willing to share power and
accommodate the reasonable demands of
minority community, social divisions
become less threatening for the country.
