The answer is civilizing. In the midst of the mid-1800s,
southern defenders of slavery discussed that the organization was not oppressive;
it was civilizing for the reason that blacks or the African Americans were being
trained to be disciplined workers and being disciplined at work and they were also
saved by Christianity.
The first revolution toppled tsar rule and put a provisional government had little support,
This situation make it possible for the Bolsheviks second revolution to bring down the government. When the civil war was over, the Bolsheviks now replaced the tsar and hold the majority of control in the government. They later on replaced the officials that ruled under the tsar with their own, and implemented communist principle to Russian economy.
Some people consider the way the media covers candidates for public office bad for democracy due to the way they present the facts and evidence. e.g. Whenever Donald Trump was running for presidency they constantly reported on his sexual abuse accusations instead of his good deeds and samaritan actions. He helped in the recovery from the flood in Louisiana and sent food and shelter for the suffering families, but you never heard that on the news... They broadcast the information in a way that will attract the most viewers, not in a way that delivers the most factual and true information.
I would say that Plessy v. Ferguson contributed to the Civil Rights movement. This was a court case that ruled that racial segregation in schools was allowed as long as the education for black students was equal to white students. Although this does not seem like a civil rights act, it later lead to Brown v. Board of Education, which ended racial segregation in schools all together.
