MODULE 15 LECTURE NOTES POLITICAL SCIENCE

·

· uh which is the subject of the chapter fifteen in your Maglev text. And Of course this is the module fifteen lecture, which will be the last lecture. Um! About a part part me the first lecture of the last unit uh that we're going to be studying this semester. So

· just make sure you take good notes. I'm going to say very close to the Megabyte text. So

· excuse me hopefully. You read the text.

· It made more sense to you what I have to say, and then you get a one, two punch right, but take vigorous notes, and let's get started. I'm going to do a share screen.

· I can find that

· there it is.

· So. Um

· I like to uh

· begin by by emphasizing the rule of leadership and everything political and obviously

· Martin Luther King, a Reverend Martin Luther King, an ordained minister,

· was the head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference that led the Civil rights movement in the one thousand nine hundred and fiftys and sixtys in its quest to get African Americans and other minorities with primarily African Americans the same kind of equal treatment under the law

· that the law said they shouldn't be entitled to, but they were not getting.

· There was a kind of uh during the Post Civil War era all the way up until the post reconstruction, or all the way up to the sixties. There was a kind of uh by uh, bifurcated society where whites had one set of privileges in African Americans had another,

· and so he was the primary leader of that movement. Of course that movement included large numbers of African Americans. That also included large numbers of whites and other one

· Americans. Um! And it took a long time before that reached a point where the public was in favor of these changes, and that, of course, leads us to the one thousand nine hundred and sixty-four Civil Rights Act passed by Congress and signed by President Lyndon Johnson. But

· I I don't believe it would have happened, or at least it wouldn't have happened near as early as it did nineteen sixty-four, but it wasn't for this man martin Luther, king, very extraordinary leader, read any good a recent biography of him, and I don't think you can help but be

· uh impressed and inspired by his life.

· Um,

· what what is the civil? Right? Well, You know, we talked about civil liberties. What is civil, right? A civil right would be the right to be free of irrational discrimination. That is, discrimination based on some kind of bias or

· some kind of prejudice.

· The Us. Constitution ensures. The government does not discriminate against us that grants the national and State government's powers to protect the civil, our civil rights.

· There are different views on equality out there. Um, there's this view of quality of opportunity. I think that's pretty much. What most Americans believe is that no one based on their creed or their color, or their ethnic origin, or their nation of origin or their religion,

· should have any less opportunity than anyone else to participate in American society,

· and that that is what the quest for civil rights was all about getting people to a point where they all had equal opportunity to participate in, to compete uh, for the one for the the great uh privileges and of American life.

· Of course, if you're trying to measure this the way the government has. They've of course, divided us up into groups and back in the seventies under President Richard Nixon. They began a firm affirmative action programs which we'll talk about in a bit

· which were designed to help what groups who had been historically in this discriminated against or had been denied equal opportunity, or had been um. Another way of putting it had been, uh

· kept an inferior status. So affirmative action programs were programs set up by the Federal Government, designed to give benefits to people to help them get up to a equal position with other groups starting with African Americans, other minorities and women, including white women.

· Uh, your text talks about the rights of citizens officially awarding us citizenship and immigration services requirements. This is. This is what you have to do. When you want to naturalize yourself. You've come from another country. You have to be at least eighteen. If you want to become a citizen.

· Uh, you have to go. You have to meet all these tests,

· and after you've done that uh you take an oath of allegiance to the United States. It's kind of cool we have every uh, every year. We have more and more people who come here to our country, passing the citizenship test and and and then becoming full partners in the freedom and equality of the United States, affords us.

· This is an example of a naturalization ceremony here. Three people who are in a military who were, uh, who were had their citizenship applications expedited because they had had served in the United States military.

· You can see it's a very emotional experience. Those of us who are born here in this year in the in the United States we just take our citizenship in this great country for granted.

· But millions of people would love to come here, you know. So many do come here legally and illegally, because they understand what's going on here. They They understand that America is in a land of opportunity. Certainly we have plenty of problems, and we we certainly still have plenty of discrimination, but compared to what else is out there?

· People come here in droves and try to live. The American dream

· rights of us citizens. Well remember the States confirmed most our most important rights. They then those things revolve around Residency requirements, right

· rights of national citizenship, give you freedoms to travel, to position the govern progressive grievances to vote. I always think of voting as the greatest civil right, because it it is the way in which we equalize society is the way in which we hold others accountable, but may not be treating each other equally.

· It is the vote is so is that one right that has been fought for hardest over the centuries. And uh, and we've already discussed this earlier in the semester. But certainly that civil right of voting is A is a big, big, huge, right

· wartime rights can be restricted. Unfortunately, that when we're in shooting wars, I think I did mention this in an earlier lecture. When we're shooting wars,

· the governments will will tend to crack down on groups that they consider to be dangerous to the war effort or to the stability of the country while we're at war, and that is meant they that they have. They discriminated against groups. For that reason Us. Supreme Court in past years has allowed that

· more or less during wartime, and then, after wartime court decisions, kind of loosen things up. And remember during World War Ii large numbers of Japanese Americans, good American citizens.

· Uh, we're literally rounded up and put into camps for the duration of the war. Many of them lost their property, and they lost their freedom, and this was done with the idea that they represented a threat to America during the war with Japan. Well, that was, of course, nonsense, but

· it was upheld by the Supreme Court. And then, since then, Court cases have come to the Supreme Court that have challenged that, and the Ch in the course loosen that up. In fact, Congress actually had granted reparations to people who had

· served in those families of people who served in those intern camps.

· If you are seen as an enemy combatant in the war against international terrorism, that will You'll also find your rights restricted under the under the laws passed by the government, and in the Supreme Court decisions evaluating those laws,

· rights of lawful to a permanent residence, while non-citizens may be expelled or detained non-citizens, enjoy fundamental freedoms, However, speech, religion, due processes, sorted, et cetera non-citizens can be and I benefits in an unemployment, so it's a mixed bag if you're here

· permanently as he as a permanent resident. But you're a non-citizen. You still have a lot of fundamental rights, though you may be expelled or detained. If you're not a citizen.

· Um! And you could. You could have your benefits and unemployment denied as well. Uh, this is a mixed bag. It happens differently in different States, the Federal Government doesn't do a whole lot to uh to uh to enforce these laws. But clearly uh, if you are here

· uh as a permanent, resident, lawful, permanent resident. Uh, we would might call you agree. You might have what we call greed card status. You enjoy many of the rights that citizens have, but just not all of them

· uh racial equality. Well, I think we talked about this earlier. We talked about the right to vote, but just remember that.

· Uh, if you go back, what was the civil Warship right this down, if you don't know the Civil War was it uh fought in this country from the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one to one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, Abraham Lincoln was the President. He

· He engaged the eleven Southern States the Confederacy in A, in a war, to determine whether or not the United States would be one nation, or whether we we'd be divided up into two nations

· and the Union Army and the United States Government won that war. Of course Lincoln was assassinated after the war. Uh paid the ultimate price for doing this. During that war Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation,

· freeing the slaves,

· and during the Post Civil War era. This is this: The Us. Constitution was was uh was uh uh amended to allow for citizenship rights

· for African-americans former slaves,

· However, during that period as I mentioned, after reconstruction ends, and

· uh, in the late eighteen seventies from from from then on all the way to the nineteen sixty S. Discrimination and violence against African Americans, and sued in all the Southern States. This is a period of time we call the Jim Crow South, because of the so-called Jim Crow laws that existed in those states which were discriminatory against African Americans

· in one thousand nine hundred and thirty. The court started to hear challenges to Cigarettes segregation. Slowly but surely, the court starts to ship away at some of those segregational laws, and certainly executive actions by our Presidents in the land, the last staff of the twentieth century, specifically

· Harry Truman, uh segregating the army and bringing in African Americans in the United States Army, and things like that helped to move things a little bit along.

· But the turning point was what I mentioned with Martin Luther, King Martin Luther King was the head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

· Uh, and he pushed for what something called nonviolent civil disven it. He got that idea from Mahatma Gandhi to use that to free the Indians, eh? India? Uh the British and Gandhi got it from reading the book works of American uh writer, Henry David Thoreau,

· and the whole idea is you you. If you see a law that's unjust,

· you you violate it, and then you pay a price for it for violating you. Go to jail, and by going to jail

· you draw attention to the unjust nature of the law. And this is why Martin Luther King and his followers, did they? They did a lot of peaceful protesting. But there were times when they broke laws they knew they would be arrested in jail for, and they actually wanted that, because they knew that the rest of the country could see them being in prison for just doing things that other people get to do,

· they would, there would be sympathy for them,

· is most one of his most famous writings was his letter from a Birmingham jail where he was talking about this very uh in phenomenon.

· So he was a brilliant leader, a brilliant strategist and tactician, and a very inspiring leader, and many, many, many, many, many millions, of people, white and black. Uh rose to his uh, his leadership,

· and by one thousand nine hundred and sixty-four a. The Congress, under the leadership of the President Lynd Johnson, passed the one thousand nine hundred and sixty-four Civil Rights Act, which put all kinds of laws into place in the in the one thousand nine hundred and sixty-four Civil rights Act. All kinds of protections in place I should say

· for African Americans, and from other minorities and um to be against a discrimination that had been taking place in American life. This is an example of a person who was protesting peacefully down in the South and had dogs literally sick on him. This is they're not uncommon at all

· uh the the tactics of the police in the Southern States were actually quite cruel.

· This is back in the sixties.

· Obviously. We don't want to forget about women's rights, women's rights. Of course

· the suffrage with the right to vote started as a State by State movement instead. Actually, the State of Wyoming granted women a right to vote before

· the us. Constitution was a granting all women the right to vote in one thousand nine hundred and twenty

· um in the Equal Rights Amendment, back in the late one thousand nine hundred and Seventys, when tried to push people, leaving in a very strong view of women's rights, push for a constitutional, and then it passed Congress, but it was never ratified by the thirty-eight of the fifty States to this day. It is not an amendment,

· but to the us Constitution. Some people lament that,

· uh, that, that women might have more uh protections than they now do. But if you take a look at it, since the nineteen seventies laws have changed it in the Federal level and of the States that have expanded women's rights.

· Uh, you know, in all areas of of human endeavor in the United American society, Are we there yet where they have perfect rights and are traded perfectly in all situations? No, but they're in a lot better shape. And then they were in the nineteen seventy S. When the equal rights in them it failed to be ratified.

· So Rights Act prohibited sex, that the sixty-four Civil Rights Act did prohibit sex discrimination, and that has been expanded in pre in in successive court cases, to include workplace, sexual harassment. So women and men

· are protected against sexual harassment in the workplace by for interpretations Of the sixty four Civil Rights Act

· glass deal ceiling still exists, but much progress has been made. What is the glass? Feeling is the idea that women have the right to work in workplaces, but when they get to a certain point they can't get any higher. There's kind of a ceiling there. You can see through it, but it holds you from going higher.

· It's still the case in many, in many corporations, but it's less of a case. There are more women and Ceos than ever before. There are women running a lot of colleges and universities,

· women and political live when women, governors, mayors, Uh, Mayor of Los Angeles is now, when the uh Governor of the State of New York is a woman, So women have gone come a long way since the nineteen sixty S. In terms of trying to break that glass ceiling, but in reality in the private sector, particularly in the corporate world. There's still plenty of institutions where it's still hard for a woman who reaches and gets into the executive class of of employees to reach it to the very top.

· Yeah, this is this: should tell you something. The males and females, if you take a look at it right now.
