Source 2 is a Franklin D. Roosevelt quote about the importance of economic security and independence. Source 3 is a Joseph Stalin quote saying that while elections give an illusion of democracy, those who count the votes really decide everything.

The document critiques previous analyses that viewed American political culture as purely embodying liberal democratic values, arguing instead that inegalitarian traditions shaped the culture as much as liberal ones and that these analysts ignored issues of race, ethnicity, and gender. It presents the "multiple traditions" thesis that America incorporated both liberal and illiberal traditions from its origins, with illiberal traditions like those defending racial hierarchy deeply influencing political culture, and questions the presumption that liberalism alone supported or opposed racism, nativism, and patriarchy in America's history.
Presentation1
America's political culture has traditionally been described as an archetypal liberal democracy, but this view overlooks other influential traditions. Multiple inegalitarian conditions, like slavery and racial discrimination, have shaped American culture just as profoundly as liberal democratic ideals. Analyzing America solely through the lens of liberal democracy presents an incomplete picture of its diverse political traditions.
Gender policy
Feminism is a collection of social theories, political movements, and philosophies concerned with women's liberation and achieving equality between men and women. Feminism believes in social, political, and economic equality regardless of gender. The first major feminist document was written in 1791 and argued that women have the same rights to freedom and property as men. Key events in feminism include New Zealand granting women the right to vote in 1893 and Simone de Beauvoir's influential book "The Second Sex" in 1949. True feminism is about achieving equal status and treatment in society for both women and men.
Basic Ethics
This document discusses ethics and cultural relativity from the perspective of sociologist Charles A. Ellwood. It covers Ellwood's background and beliefs, including that sociology should direct cultural evolution. It describes how ethics deals with morality and how the moral and social are intertwined. It then discusses how human conflict evolved from competing with other species to competing within and between human groups through war and the development of social classes and political organizations. Finally, it briefly touches on how leadership selection has evolved in the millennial era with more options like online elections and an emphasis on technology in modern society.

This document provides an overview of a research project analyzing the construction of women's images in Soviet fiction movies from 1967 to 1982. It examines how women are portrayed as workers, wives, and mothers through a discourse analysis of 5 popular movies from the period. Preliminary findings suggest the films replicated gender patterns from early Soviet cinema and displayed conflicts between women's work and family roles not publicly discussed until 1985. The research draws on literature about gender in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia to understand how the movies represented femininity and women's status through marriage.
Paper -11, The Post Colonial Litrature
This document provides an overview of postcolonial scholar Ania Loomba and her views on colonialism and postcolonialism. It introduces Loomba as a professor who has authored several influential works on topics like gender, race, Shakespeare, and postcolonial studies. The document then summarizes some of Loomba's key ideas about colonialism, including how it relates to concepts like imperialism, neo-colonialism, race, class, gender, sexuality, and hybridity. It also briefly discusses Loomba's views on how feminism intersects with postcolonialism.
Darwinism
Social Darwinism was a philosophy in the late 1800s that believed "survival of the fittest" and that the strong in society would prosper while the weak declined, increasing divisions in America. It led to greater racism and divisions between Darwinists and Christians, exacerbating existing social fractures.
Romero's Zombies
George Romero is known for revolutionizing the zombie genre with his Dead series of films beginning with Night of the Living Dead in 1968. In these films, zombies became representations of American culture and social issues, rather than exotic others. Romero portrayed zombies as metaphors for topics like racism, consumerism, containment during the Cold War, terrorism, and media panic. Other scholars have analyzed how Romero's zombies critique capitalist society and represent social processes and the disintegration of communal bonds.

Choice and Chance - Night Essay
Eliezer's survival of the Holocaust was influenced by both chance and the choices he made. When first arriving at Birkenau, Eliezer chose to give a fake age on the advice of a prisoner, allowing him to avoid being sent to the furnace. Later, chance played a role in keeping Eliezer with his father in the same camps and blocks. Ultimately, American troops liberating Buchenwald in 1945 was the biggest chance that saved Eliezer's life. Both chance occurrences and the choices Eliezer made allowed him to survive experiences that took the lives of many others.

However, there are many variations of liberalism as a political philosophy. The document also discusses tensions that can arise between liberal and conservative views, such as on issues like cultural practices.

Changing nature of democracy
Liberal democracy combines liberalism and democracy. Liberalism focuses on individual liberty and limited government interference, while democracy means rule by the people. Key thinkers like Locke, Mill, and Bentham influenced the development of liberal democracy in Europe by advocating for concepts like limited monarchy, representative government, and maximizing happiness. However, liberalism is an economic concept focused on capitalism, while democracy is political. This led to tensions as socialism emerged as an alternative. Now, liberal democracy has become the dominant model, but post-colonial nations face challenges in institutionalizing its principles of development, democracy, and inclusiveness.

overview of liberalism part 1 08
Liberalism focuses on individual freedom and limiting the power of the state. Classical liberalism believed in negative freedom and laissez-faire economics, with the state playing a minimal role. Modern liberalism shifted to positive freedom, seeing a role for the state in providing services to empower individuals and ensure equal opportunity. It supported a mixed market economy and welfare state to help people achieve their potential. Overall, liberalism has evolved from focusing on non-interference by the state to allowing some intervention to promote individual fulfillment.

Popular sovereignty held that the people should determine their government. Voltaire fought for freedom of speech and tolerance. Montesquieu's idea of checks and balances influenced the U.S. system, and Rousseau believed in direct democracy and equality. Mary Wollstonecraft argued for women's education and involvement in politics. The Enlightenment challenged divine rule and inspired the American and French Revolutions.

The Individual and the Media - A Comparison of the Liberal Democratic and Alt...
This document is a 2093 word essay analyzing the liberal-democratic and Althusserian approaches to conceptualizing the individual and its relationship to media. The liberal-democratic approach views the individual as autonomous and rational, able to freely select and consume media content.

The essay explores the origins and key theorists of each approach, and how they differently theorize media as either serving audience interests or augmenting the dominant ideology.

Representation vs. Authoritarianism
Forms of representation include direct democracy, parliamentary systems, and republican democracies. These forms involve citizens participating through voting and elected representatives making decisions. Authoritarian systems concentrate power in single individuals, small groups, or the military rather than citizens. They include monarchies, oligarchies, one-party states, and military dictatorships where ultimate control resides with a single leader or elite rather than the people. While representation acts in citizens' interests, authoritarianism acts in the rulers' interests.
Humanities Bibliography
This document provides a bibliography listing various sources of information that could be used for research. The sources include websites from organizations like the BBC, CBC, CIA, and various educational resources from the Government of Alberta and Ontario as well as textbooks.

Strength in Individuality
The document discusses the idea of individual strength versus strength through conformity. It describes how Hitler used conformity to gain support for Nazism in Germany, leading to devastating consequences. It also discusses Tim O'Brien's struggle to conform by fighting in the Vietnam War despite wanting to pursue his own life goals. While conformity can make large groups powerful, the truly strong individuals are those who pursue their own desires rather than blindly conforming to what others expect. It takes greater courage to stand alone than to simply go along with the group through conformity.
Achievable Idealisms According to John Steinbeck
The document discusses achievable idealisms in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. It introduces two main characters - Rose of Sharon who dreams of the perfect home but depends on her husband, and former preacher Jim Casy who wants to unite migrant workers to improve their lives. While Rose's static ideals are unrealistic, Casy takes action like organizing protests, making his goal more achievable before his death. The document analyzes how Steinbeck presents Casy's ideals through action as more reasonable than Rose's inactive dreams.
Reflected Idealism
Elliot Erwitt captured a photograph of an ideal romantic couple reflected in the mirror of a vehicle. While the couple appears genuinely happy, capturing such idealized moments is nearly impossible due to their spontaneous nature. By photographing the reflection rather than the actual scene, Erwitt only shows the idealized version of the romantic couple, rather than revealing any true feelings or context. When looking at reflections, people hope to see their ideal selves, just as Erwitt portrayed an idealized romantic moment. However, ideals often depict an unattainable perfection that does not reflect real life, where perfection is rare and there are no idealized scenes.
Radical Thinkers
This document summarizes the beliefs and principles of various radical thinkers throughout history, including Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, Smith, Mill, Ricardo, Dickens, Owen, Marx, and Burke. It examines how each thinker challenged the status quo and promoted individual rights and economic freedom. The document also includes the author's personal assessment of which thinkers' ideas they agree with the most, particularly praising Ricardo's views on specialization and free trade between countries.

It now has 192 member states and works on issues like human rights, counter-terrorism, and international health. The UN has six main parts: the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship Council, International Court of Justice, and Secretariat.

Nationalism as a Cause of WWII Timeline
The document discusses how rising German nationalism following World War 1 and the 1929 Wall Street Crash contributed to the rise of the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler's assumption of power in Germany. It notes several key events: (1) Hitler received 30% of the presidential vote in 1932, showing high nationalist support; (2) the Night of Broken Glass in 1938 saw Germans attack their Jewish neighbors, indicating willingness to enact Hitler's radical nationalism; (3) Hitler's remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936 showed his confidence in nationalistic public support. Rising German nationalism following World War 1 and economic troubles strengthened radical nationalist groups like the Nazis and enabled Hitler's rise to power.
Hitler
Adolf Hitler had a difficult childhood and young adulthood that may have influenced his extreme views later in life. His mother died of cancer treated by a Jewish doctor, and he had a strained relationship with his authoritarian father. As a young man, he failed to get into art school and lived in poverty in Vienna. During World War I, he was temporarily blinded by a gas attack. After the war, he became impressed by Anton Drexler's nationalist and anti-Semitic ideas and joined the German Workers' Party, which he later renamed the Nazi Party. He rose to power by exploiting Germans' economic struggles following World War I and blaming Jews and socialists.

Cogito ergo sum
While Descartes argued that "I think, therefore I am" proves only the existence of the mind, the author argues that "I feel, therefore I am" better demonstrates the existence of both mind and body. We experience a variety of sensations and emotions, from comfort to pain, that indicate we are truly alive beings capable of independent thought and action. In contrast, characters in virtual worlds or games may display programmed expressions of emotion but do not genuinely feel or experience sensations in the way that humans do.

Success in Liberal Masks
- 1. Liberal Masks Page 1 of 3 Successin Liberal Masks Lindsey Purves May 10, 2012 Mr. Kabachia Humanities 30
- 2. Liberal Masks Page 2 of 3 In source one Norman Rockwell conveys a belief of the importance and respect of individual rights and freedoms. In the first painting a man is standing proudly as he speaks in front of a large crowd while the people around him look up to him with respect for speaking up in public. The second painting shows people of various race and gender praying in the form that speaks to their deity, whether it is praying head down, lips touched to closed hands or grasping rosemary beads looking to the heavens. These paintings show the brighter side of liberal democracy in its freedom allowed to all. Source two, a quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt from the Economic Bill of Rights (1941), speaks of the importance of rules and regulations to allow everyone the freedom to pursue their ambitions in a democratic society. Roosevelt recognizes that without some “security and independence” through welfare capitalism there will be those that can never have a steady job that will keep them and their families fed and claims this hunger and joblessness is “the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” This quote also states the importance of keeping individual rights and freedoms for all, rich or poor, lower class or upper class. Source three has a different perspective on democracy. In the quote by Joseph Stalin it is claimed that suffrage is needed to keep the people happy but in the end it is not the people who vote that decide the government, instead “the people who count the votes decide everything.” Stalin supports the idea that a dictatorship works only because they have a democratic front, in reality decisions are made by the people at the top. Although not all three sources support the idea of having a democratic government, they all support the idea that liberal principles keep the people happy and the government support strong within the country. Supporting individual rights and freedoms, welfare capitalism, and suffrage as a means of keeping a populace confident in their government, these three sources show the need for some liberal principles in governments even if they are just for show. “It is enough that the people
- 3. Liberal Masks Page 3 of 3 know there was an election.” (Joseph Stalin) Roosevelt describes the consequences of not protecting every person’s individual rights and freedoms as an affront to democracy, as well as something that could potentially lead to a dictatorship. Rockwell’s paintings have a calm feeling to them, portraying the positive outcomes of allowing people freedoms of speech and religion, in turn protecting the government’s hold over a country with no fear of revolt. Through liberal fronts both government and people are content.
