ASSIGNMENT    

=========================

THE "ITALIAN PROBLEM" BECOMES POLITICAL

SACCO e VANZETTI

WALL STREET

ISSUE OF THE DAY:

VIOLENCE AND POLITICAL ACTIVISM

Everybody, when asked where they stand about the use of violence as a tool of political change, say, OH, NO, NEVER.

In reality we ALWAYS find justifications for violence. We approve of it in HISTORY (as long as it is OUR violence), we even approve HYPOTHETICAL violence (would you condemn now the people who tried to assassinate Hitler or Mussolini?)

WAR is political violence. REVOLUTION, REVOLTS by poor people (MEXICO, for instance), CUBA ---AHHH, but they were communist!!!

NORTHERN IRELAND, Catholics vs Protestants. 

There are students right here in this class that come from regions that are at war, or in a state of constant emergency, or even marshal law - where communities sees the enemy both inside and outside.

EVERYBODY accepts violence for self-defense. BUT often we approve violence to subvert the status quo, internationally or internally.

Do we condemn INTERVENTION in the affairs of a foreign country? DO WE CONDEMN invading?
