Compare And Contrast The Politics Of The Andolan
“The Politics of the Andolan,” by [Patrick Mccully] discusses the damaging effects of the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP). This text details that the Sardar Sarovar Dam is the largest dam and part of the Narmada Valley Project, project involving the construction of large irrigation and hydroelectric multi-purpose dams on the Narmada River. Large dams are to a country's expansion what nuclear bombs are to its military arsenal. Similar to “The Human Cost of Dams,” the SSP ignores that families moved to resettlement locations but have not received new land, water or other privileges. Other natives did not receive recognition as affected because their land rights were never established. Resettling hundreds of thousand individuals appears to be a dehumanizing

    Yakama Case Study

    government is obligated to extend aid to reservations, claiming that the responsibilities of the EDA extend to all areas that are below the poverty line which includes much of reservation land, others fear that it is often misdirected. Kalt and Cornell discuss the faults of this “standard approach” of U.S. government aid and propose a new solution that they describe as the “nation-building” approach. In this proposed solution, all of the decision making for where money should be spent and what aspects of society are developed are placed in the hands of the native people. This idea is found favorable by many scholars because those who are are making decisions of development are impacted by the effects, whether positive or negative, rather than having the decisions made by an alienated and unaffected third party. The issue with these proposed solution is finding a way to used the government resources in a way that empowers the reservation communities. Also, there are debates around where nonprofits fit into this equation, because in many circumstances they are an unaffected third party, however they usually have a deeper relationship and therefore a better understanding for what is best for the native…

    Compare And Contrast The Democratic And Republican Parties Of The Late 1800's

    The Democrat and Republican parties of the late 1800’s had a parallel belief that it was giving a voice to its constituents. The Republicans and Democrats fought over political corruption, civil rights, reconstruction, immigration, and States’ rights. Republicans appealed to the Union, Border States, and African Americans. The South had to be rebuilt, but giving power to the Southern whites was not an option at any time. Lincoln’s 10% Reconstruction plan would swiftly allow seceded states back into the Union, but Congress did not agree with this plan and in response they came up with the Wade-Davis Bill. The passing of this bill revealed some conflicts between Congress and…

    Statelessness In North Thailand

    Sarah Morehouse’s presentation on statelessness within the hill tribes in northern Thailand discussed a plan to eradicate undocumented hill tribe members who do not identify as having a state-identity. Morehouse discussed that “hundreds of families have migrated into Northern Thailand. There, they are denied political refugee status, but are still allowed to live within constrained districts. However, the hill tribe members have no legal bond with the country and are therefore considered stateless” (Morehouse 2017). In Thailand, stateless hill tribe members are denied the right to vote, own property, or have sufficient access to education and health care systems. Morehouse further mentioned that “statelessness has led to political fragmentation…

    Compare And Contrast Democrat And Republican Parties

    On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress of the United States signed the Declaration of Independence declaring America as a nation free from Great Britain’s rule. 200 years’ worth of political parties have joined together or broken apart to form the parties the United States has today: The Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The United States party system began in 1789 before George Washington was elected to presidency with the formation of the Federalist Party founded primarily by Alexander Hamilton. The name eventually changed to the Republican Party during the Era of Good Feelings. From here, there was a split in politics and the two party system emerged with the National Republican Party and the Democratic Republican Party. From there, the National Republican Party transformed into the Whig Party which opposed the Democratic Party, later known as the Democratic Republican Party. During the Civil War, the Whig Party split into the Cotton Whigs who favored slavery and the Conscience Whigs who opposed slavery. The Cotton Whigs went with the Democratic Party in 1828, which is the same…

    The book also demonstrates that long-term solutions to threatening rich Indian discrimination does not arise from matching the lobbying and political behavior of other U.S. citizens, instead the strength comes from within the indigenous nations to protect their sacred homeland and keeping their cultural and political forms of authority. During the era of forced federalism, the nations were obligated to deal with states as equals, which weakened the exclusive and historic relationship with the federal government. The…

    Arguments Against Illegal Immigrants

    To deal with the large numbers of undocumented immigrants in the country they propose mass deportations. However the feasibility of these deportations are often overlooked. In early years the director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Julie Myers estimated “to detain and remove 12 million people would cost at least $94 billion, more than twice the entire Department of Homeland Security 2008 budget” (Hatch 9). This estimate does not include the cost of relocation and the cost of court hearings. Altogether the costs would be even greater than these predictions. Despite tremendous costs, deportations of such magnitude would also have an impact on American communities. With the deportation of 12 million adults this would estimate “for every two adults deported after the recent raids, one child was left behind, the majority under the age of five” (Hatch 11). Mass deportations don't only have an immense physical cost but also an immense emotional cost as…

    The Legacy of Malthus

    This movie looks into the issue of poverty prevalent in rural India. Deepa Dhanraj takes us from one corner of rural India where poverty persists to the Scottish highs which witnessed highland clearances in the 19th century. Scottish high landlords had legal claim over the common land on which shared croppers survived. Landlords rented the land to tenants who further let it to sub tenants. At the end of 18th century, volume sheep farming for wool and meat became immensely profitable than renting it to shared croppers in Scottish highs. The landlords claimed that due to increased unchecked population growth the produce from the land was insufficient to sustain the population. Shared croppers were legally and forcefully evicted from the land. There was misery, starvation and cycle of poverty amongst the evicted people by the more powerful who had law and authorities on their side. Many died, thousands migrated outside England, and some were allotted land along the shores which was uncultivable while others were displaced internally to big cities in England as cheap labor.…

    The Influence Of Ethical Responsibility For Refugees

    Today we have the largest amount of displaced persons worldwide, including more than the mass exodus after World War 2. Internationally countries are struggling to get to grips with their legal responsibilities to these refugees and asylum seekers, as well as their moral obligations.Do we have a moral and ethical responsibility to complete strangers, to people from the other side of the world, seeking asylum, seeking help? Do the benefits of helping refugees fleeing persecution outweigh the costs? What are these costs? The costs to security, the threat of “swarms” (Davi Cameron, 2015) of people causing strain upon public resources? What are our ethical expectations of ourselves in responding to this global people movement issue. 65.3 million…

    According to the UNHCR, there are currently 65.6 million forcibly displaced people worldwide. Out of this total, only 22.5 million are already identified as refugees and less than 200.000 have succeeded in resettling (1). It is also estimated that nearly 10 million people are currently classified as stateless, having been denied a nationality and access to basic rights such as education, healthcare, employment and freedom of movement. In most of these cases, such populations have to face detention.…
