Should monuments be removed from public locations? Why?

History

5 0

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not specify if you mean all kinds of monuments or some monuments in specific.

If your question is for all monuments in general, the answer is no. Monuments represent important moments in the history of the country or exhibit important historical figures that have forged the identity of the nation. Their public exhibition is a positive to remember those people or events with respect.

Now, on the other hand, if you are referring to the confederate monuments, this is a controversial issue that has divided the country after the death of African American George Floyd.

Like it or not, the Civil War and the Confederate side were part of the United States history and represent something of meaning for white people in the South. Unfortunately, this page of the US story is related to slavery and racism, both elements that have hurt and dive the country. So many Americans have demanded the removal of these monuments from public places such as schools, college campuses, and parks.

As controversial as it could sound, we can consider that the removal of the monuments could divide even more American society.

How did the definition of “freedom” evolve during World War II and it’s aftermath?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Women gained more freedom not just men.

Explanation:

Women of many races played many roles in the war. They were nurses, worked in factories, ran charities, sent care packages and even joined in the military. Some would just stay and raise family at home while their husbands would fight in the war.

This raised equality for women as well filled empty male seats which led to people as a community accepting women as a whole in the workplace and proved they can do as much as men do.

What did the 3/5th compromise, included in the Constitution of 1787, do?
Luda [366]

Answer:

Three-fifths compromise, compromise agreement between delegates from the Northern and the Southern states at the United States Constitutional Convention (1787) that three-fifths of the slave population would be counted for determining direct taxation and representation in the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

this was made due to disputes over the idea that slaves could count for a states overall population, and if that was the case several southern states would have a large influence due to a large population of slaves. hence the agreement that a slave could only count for 3/5th of a man, reducing the overall influence/'population' of the southern states.

Can someone please write me a 3 paragraph judicial opinion on any chosen case??
Liula [17]

Explanation:

Law does not function in vacuum. Law operates for and in the society; and it is influenced by the mores and attitudes of the society. Correspondingly, law is an instrument of social change. The law thus never can be static; it has to change constantly with the changes in the society. Judiciary plays a major role for this change since judges interpret and redefine the laws through their judicial decisions. The demands of the time and society become prominent factors for judge in the law interpretation process. Their judicial opinions consequently become precedents - 'settled' or 'established' law that can provide legal foundation for settling subsequent cases. Hence, those who are associated in the field of law have to read case judgments for their research or academic purposes.

Mere knowledge of legal rules is not enough to do research in law. It also needs the analytical skills to extract ratio, observation and to apply these principles in different factual situations. This paper endeavors to identify certain parameters, which by no means are exhaustive but are only enabling points which could help a researcher to read and understand the judicial opinion. To achieve the very purposes of reading, the yardstick is not mere the ability to read, but to comprehend very essence of what is written.

The author believes that when a judgment is written well with clarity and consistency, even a common man would be able to figure out the contours of law. Since the objective of any judgment or judicial opinion is justice, the judge's conveying skill and the reader's skill ought to converge upon a common end.
