Prevent It From Happening Racial Hatred
1,845 words... there was no hard evidence that the rape had even occurred, in the first place. Isn't it an example of double standards being applied?

One of the reasons, for the sentences to be so ridiculously short, was the fact that authorities feared to instigate racial riots, on the part of Black community. Thus, the justice was being sacrificed, for the sake of maintaining social order. (4) In my opinion,...

World War One 20 Th Century
727 wordsThe U. S. rise to power from 1904 to 1919 is truly remarkable. Within comparatively short historical time, America was able to significantly increase its political and economical influence on world's affairs.

Le Bon Public Opinion
769 wordsMasse Responce to Events In order for us to understand the main factors that form public opinion about the events, we need to know what are the driving forces of mass psychology. Gustav Le Bon in his book The Crowd: A Study of Popular Mind says: Notwithstanding all its progress, philosophy has been unable as yet to offer the masses any ideal that can charm them; but, as they must have their illusions at all cost, they turn instinctively, as the insect seeks the light, to the rhetoricians who acc...
