In analysis of Vera Figner’s Memoirs of a Revolutionist, Figner expressed a few political goals that led her to assume violence as the only answer to the economic, political, and social injustices forced upon the peasants, by the government authority and Russian traditions. All of Figner’s energy was spent in effort to achieve these goals at any cost. These goals were to use influential propaganda, to educate the peasants1, and to kill the Tsar. All of which, were used to motivate a peasant uprising, to remove2 the suppressive Tsarist regime and to give birth to democratically3 free institutions4. To justify her violent means, she used her personal belief that there were no other peaceful ways, that they had not tried, to provide liberty and justice for the peasants.5
Now a day it is hard to identify a Cossack. Many don’t know who they are and many suspicions have blossomed saying that the Sochi Cossacks are imposters. Today the supposedly “Cossacks” share a “racist, nationalist and anti-Semitic worldview” (2). The Cossacks are serving as volunteer security officers for the Olympics; President Vladimir Putin hopes to improve their view on enforcing
Samira Ahmed’s realistic fiction novel, Love, Hate, and Other Filters, takes place in modern-day Chicago where a suicide bombing has engrossed the attention of America. Maya Aziz, a Muslim teenager, is targeted for her heritage while attempting to lead a life free of high school drama, controlling parents, and difficult relationships. As Maya copes with Islamophobia, prejudice against Muslims, she begins to understand the horrors and shortcomings of violence. One lesson the story suggests is that hatred is an infectious and blinding motive. From the very beginning of the story, readers are familiarized with the source of terrorism through thorough description and sentence structure.

“There is always someone who cares more, cries more, loves more, get hurt most and forgives more” -Unknown. In any given relationship ultimately one person has more power over the other. Throughout most stories they usually happen to have character relationships where one always has more power over the other. This theory comes from the multiple examples below. Zaroff and Rainsford are a key example of the thesis that one character has more power than the other.
The nature of Russian society is characterized by a sense of idealism. Russia’s beliefs of the potential for an ideal future have been pervasive throughout history. In 1920, Yevgeny Zamyatin wrote the short story “The Cave” during the midst of the Russian Civil War, a time when nationalism was at an all time low and people were hoping for a brighter future. In contrast to the goals that sparked the revolution, Zamyatin argues that the Russian Civil War will result in a primitive and decimated society that is ultimately worse off than the society that existed prior to the rebellion.
Canada is “too afraid” but every country should follow in our footsteps and be proud of their nation while showing good nationalism then all hate would finally be at ease. There are plenty of examples of good and bad Nationalism but we as a country can forget about the past hate and focus on the new peace. Olympics are one of the most popular events that happen in the world and it is just the greatest thing to see all countries (that can afford it) to come together and no hate is around, only pride. The reason why I am picking the Olympics as an example of good nationalism is we are rooting so hard or our team and/or athlete to win and get disappointed if they lose and I ask myself why? I have never even talked to or meet this person nor

Chapters 28-35 embody the overlying satirical theme of Catch-22. These chapters accurately reflect the circular nature of the plot and how Catch-22 was designed to ensure all the soldiers remained on duty. The result of their so called captivity, concealed by the stereotypical beliefs of military bureaucrats such as Colonel Cathcart, is a life being lived without any meaningful purpose or moral objective. Yossarian is a prime example of this, serving as the lovable protagonist of the novel, and having the plot revolve mainly around him. He is characterized as a womanizer early on in the novel, and focuses on surviving the horrors of warfare.
Radical Republicans were united around certain political principles. They believed that Congress had the duty to reform southern society, and they insisted that the federal government had the right and responsibility to control reconstruction. The Radicals also supported growth of the federal government. These Radicals also rallied around the idea that the South’s former slaves should be made citizens, with all the rights that citizenship grants. They insisted that reconstruction also include suffrage for the freedmen.
Tolstoy would’ve been horrified at the amount of evidence that the world has provided in the past one hundred years to support his argument against patriotism. Year after year, we Americans celebrate our independence from the British, who are now our close allies. We rally around the “triumphs” of our nation, revel in our superiority to the rest of the world, and forget about the evils our country has committed to ascend to the top of the food chain. We have sold the ideal of “a better world” in exchange for “a stronger nation.” The Cold War standoff between the US and the Soviet Union was a show of patriotism over two equally valid ways of government, where neither side ever directly fought the other, but carried consequences that have

I covered how Putin’s visionary leadership traits ignored key aspects of diversimilarity and show how he was methodical in planning and executing is objectives. I also demonstrated how his drive for success and a lack of open-mindedness made him an unethical leader. Finally, I reflected on my own leadership as it pertains to these lesson principles, and my pursuit to continue growing as a self-aware leader. Perhaps there would be no Russia, as we currently know it, without Putin”, certainly he has shaped his country and has effected countless lives and treasure. Influential Russian author, Fyodor Dostoevsky might have foreshadowed such a leader as Putin in his book The Brothers Karamazov: “He understood very well that for the meek soul of a simple Russian, exhausted by grief and hardship and, above all, by constant injustice and sin, there was no stronger need than to find a holy shrine or a saint to prostrate himself before to worship”.
