First Knight Assignment

1. Arthur demonstrates the democratic way by showing when he makes decisions he goes to the round table to discuss them with the fellow citizens. How Arthur shows how to handle those who he thinks broke the rules by holding a public trial so everyone can see the law at work and he leaves the persons fait to the law and the people of Camelot to decide. Arthur demonstrates the highest value of the democratic way by letting the citizens have a say and do things their way and respecting and treating the citizens with dignity.

2. Malagant demonstrates the authoritarian way by showing when he makes decisions he does not listen to the citizens and only goes by his word and no one else’s. Malagant only respects himself and no one else; he even tries to kidnap the Queen, which is very disrespectful. Malagant does not care about anyone as long at he is respected and in charge. Being authoritarian means that the leader is self appointed and does not listen to citizen’s opinions and they cannot speak out against the leaders actions, which Malagant clearly shows. That is an example that shows lack of respect for citizens and shows the authoritarian way. Malagant demonstrates the highest value of the authoritarian way by not letting the citizens have a say and taking away their rights, also by punishing innocent people for others poor actions.

3. Arthur shows rights and responsibilities in the movie because Arthur held court and used the law to decide the guilt or innocence of the Queen and Lancelot and if guilty their punishment. He held a public trial so every citizen can see the law at work. This shows rights and responsibilities by letting the people decide the fait and having a say, Arthur is allowing the people to exercise their rights of opinion. As well he does not get greedy or let his anger get the best of him before announcing Lancelot’s punishment. Also he uses the round table with high respect and

    During the interwar period (1919-1939), many new authoritarian governments began to spring up and gain lots of popularity. For example, Hitler’s Nazi Germany, Mussolini’s fascist Italy and Stalin’s communist Russia. People became dissatisfied with their democratic governments because their countries had lost recent wars and because their country’s economies were falling apart. They felt as if their government had failed them so they turned to new totalitarian governments. All three of these governments helped their countries “bounce back” economically and militarily so people were more willing to have their individual freedom’s taken away for the good of the state. This motivated authoritarian governments to take control and “redeem” their countries for past embarrassments.…

    A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court also touches on the role of democracy and social stratification in Chapter 2. Democracy is portrayed when the Yankee observes the round table. The quote is "As a rule, the speech and behavior of these people were gracious and courtly; and I noticed they were good and serious listeners when anybody was telling anything—I mean in a dogless interval." (Twain PG 13). He showed how the people at the table round listened to each other and each other's ideas. Social stratification is shown on page 13. The quote is " The rascals—they have served other people so in their day; it being their own turn, now, they were not expecting any better treatment than this". (Twain PG 13). This shows how the poor are treated and they never expect more. The role of social stratification will be shown in the next chapter.…

As such, Roses jurors learn to reconcile both truth and justice through means of a ‘reasonable doubt’, empowering both the judicial process and unification of moral empathy.…

    In this romance, there is a battle between reason and love. Both try to thwart the paths of the other. When love is taking control, there is always a sense of reason that prevents Lancelot from doing what he wants, and when reason has the better of him, love makes him go in a different direction. Reason is the logical explanation behind each action taken or decision made by Lancelot. Love is the attraction that Lancelot feels for Gweneviere and it has a way of pushing aside reason, when he tries to make a judgment. These two elements are almost the devil and angel inside of Lancelot. Neither one can be described as good or bad, but can be considered opposites of each other. Also, most times, love is a stronger trait in Lancelot than the process of thought and reason.…
