confederate monuments From a historical context, confederate monuments, such as the flag and the statues, were adopted in 1861. They were first used as a memorial to the confederate soldier and served as a symbol of the country’s pride in the battlefield. The confederate flag promoted tradition, liberty, and religion. Between the 1890s and 1950s, the state government built confederate monuments which matched the ruling of Jim Crow segregation. For instance, in Ft. Mill, South Carolina, Jefferson Davis Memorial Association dedicated the Defenders of State Sovereignty Association monument. Local and state governments used some monuments to intimidate African Americans. Additionally, they are symbols of hate, racism, and treason. They show white supremacy, slavery, discrimination, and segregation against black Americans. Therefore, it is not appropriate for cities or states to publicly display monuments as it will cause unrest and lack of peace in the states. The confederate flag and other monuments represent white supremacy that caused slavery, racism, and segregation. They are the most overlooked tools of modern racism. The different race has different beliefs; therefore, they tend to hold one…
The famous writers Flannery O’Connor’s and Allen Ginsburg In this article, I will major on two popular authors, Flannery O’Connor’s and Allen Ginsburg. Both have created canonical texts. One of O’Connor’s most famous works is “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” which was written in the 1950s. As the 1960s neared, the end of the persona of a perfect family, the “right” way to live, and the widespread sense of stability were ending. The Beat Movement was just around the corner, and it was evident in the writings of these stories that authors were becoming more daring in their subject matter. In “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” the main character is introduced as being religious and a stand-up citizen. Still, as the story goes on, her morals become questionable and leading to the question of whether she is a good or even likeable character. The introduction of O’Connor’s character acts as a representation of society’s feelings of the ’50s, and their progression represents the transition in a culture which gets into the ’60s. Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good…

The evolution of music Music has changed over time. The evolution of music has been due to several reasons. One of the reasons that the nature, meaning, and composition of music changing over time is due to the society adapting to a capitalist environment. Nowadays, everything is commercialized. The capitalist society has led to the development of a monopolistic market; therefore, everyone is trying to obtain the majority amount of profit from their venture.
