Civil rights events Civil rights events can be traced all the way back to the 1940s. One of the most notable
civil rights events was the Washington March, which happened on August 28, 1963 (Jones,
2013). The march brought together the biggest civil rights organizations in the country. At first,
the march was expected to be full of violence and unrest. However, it turned to be the largest
peaceful march that Washington had even seen at that time. The black civil rights organizations
were pushing for the passage of proper civil rights laws, protection against police brutality, and
the need to end segregation in public schools. Martin Luther King gave the ?I have a Dream? in
this event that received extensive live TV coverage. It was a day to be remembered as the crowds
participated in peaceful protests.
The Washington march was an inspiration for many other civil rights events like the
million march to Washington. The march was considered success because it had a role to play in
the ratification of the Twenty-fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The
amendment removed the poll tax, which was put in place to keep poor African Americans from
voting. It also influenced the passage of the Civil Rights Act 1964, which directs the government
to protect the rights of all citizens and protect them against any form of discrimination.
The march to Montgomery in 1965 is also another influential civil rights event in the
history of the United States (Hartford, 2014). The march was organized for the people to show
their support for the voting rights legislation. It was a very violent Sunday that resulted in the
hospitalization of fifty people who took part in the march. The march succeeded in pushing for
the passage of the Voting Rights Act. The Voting rights law is an example of how the government
treats its people in a responsible manner by allowing everyone to vote (Hartford, 2014).
Media Events POLITICS 3 On August 9, 2014, a teenager called Michael Brown was shot and killed by an officer
called Darren Wilson (Healy, 2014). The shooting received extensive coverage with pictures of
Michael Brown being shown in papers and televisions. The media used pictures of the young
Michael Brown, who looked innocent. The one message that was consistent in all the news how
white police officers find it easy to shoot African American men. It culminated in a racial
discussion with each race trying to take sides. The media coverage of the event portrayed the
police force as an organization against African Americans. It built a negative public opinion of
the government. It also pushed for an immediate action to be taken against Darren Wilson.
The Washington March can also be viewed as a media event because of the extensive live
TV coverage that it enjoyed (Jones, 2013). The media portrayed the march as a show of strength,
resilience, and solidarity in the fight for civil rights. Everything was captured in real time to
show the country that the march was not a show of violence. The speeches were able to reach
many people. They were all urging the federal government to take action and stand for the
founding values of the nation. The reasonable thing for the government to do is to push for
reforms in the legislation and elimination segregation in public schools.
Republican and Democratic, competition for power
The competition for power between the Republican and the Democratic parties has
resulted in the adoption of different values that might have an ethical impact on the American
people (Edsall, 2012). First, Republicans focus on the individual while the Democrats emphasize
the collective good. These values are exhibited by the supporters of both parties. Studies have
shown that Republican supporters will go for a small government that focuses on the individual
while the Democrats want a big government that focuses on the collective good (Edsall, 2012). POLITICS 4 It explains why Republicans are not reluctant to use force to achieve something. This has strong
ethical implications on the American people.
Republicans are more conservation that Democrats. They stand for social norms that have
been in the society since time immemorial. The Democrats are different because they have
shown they are willing to adapt to the changing times. The ethical implications of these
differences are that Republicans are ready to punish people who move from the established
social norms. It is confirmed by the policies that the Republicans are willing to support. Most
Republicans value hard work and shun laziness. The Democrats also like hard work but do not
rely on it only to decide whether someone is lazy or not. The differences between Republicans
and Democrats affect the way their supporters perceive difference issues. References POLITICS 5 Edsall, T. B. (2012, February 6). Studies: Conservatives Are From Mars, Liberals Are From
