Improved Essays
Authors, Alan Taylor and Benito Mussolini, both wrote essays regarding the political culture during a specific time period. For instance, Alan Taylor wrote an article of the American nation post-revolutionary time in Ontario, Canada which examined the political institutions and economic policies implemented to avert another Revolution.

In The Late Loyalist by Alan Taylor, the argument is about the movements was for naught because the people were still paying higher taxes than those given to them by Britain compared to other parts of Britain’s dominion such as Upper Canada currently Ontario-Quebec boundaries. Moreover, the focal topic of Taylor’s paper was to identify the gains/losses when comparing Upper Canada and the rebellious American; however, Britain learned lessons were put into practice in Upper Canada to preserve peace and order. Certainly, Parliament restricted the participation in politics and social discontent or outburst against the empire.

Murrin argues that the British North American colonies were diverse on a spectrum north to south, from Canada to Caribbean Islands, but also had common connections and actually Anglicized over the 17th century to 18th century.

    In this article, the author challenges the ideals and beliefs that other scholars who study Canadian Confederation hold in regards to how confederation came about. The author's argument is that the Canadian federal state may have been a result of the debates in Britain, France and America during the eighteenth and nineteenth-century. The debate in Britain, France and America was between republican values and commercial ideology that came about at the time of Enlightenment. He believes understanding the political debates going on at the time may help gain a more rounded understanding of the political issues that were happening in Canada during the nineteenth-century post-confederation and how confederation came about through those political…

    Upon the edge of revolution, a country tottered, waiting for the final push. England had pressed upon a tired and loose colonial aggregate, and though these pressures were sometimes justified, they brought together a quite recently bickering populace with contempt for taxation and other misgivings. From the northmost colony of Maine to the buffer colony Georgia, all knew that contentions were stewing. However, though insurrection was on the mind of each colonist, this concept lie slanted in many different ways. Squarely within one extreme were the Loyalists, for never did they once wish to break with the king of England, who had admittedly protected them well enough.…

    In 1936, German Jewish philosopher and cultural critic Walter Benjamin coined the idea of “aestheticization of politics”. This theory expresses the idea that life and affairs of living are made to be innately artistic and are thus related to politics in the same manner. This means that politics can be viewed as artistic and structured as that of an art form that corresponds with the concept that life is also to be seen artistically. Benjamin believed that this theory of aestheticization of politics was a vital aspect to Fascist regimes. The rise of fascism within Europe, and especially within Germany, was the epochal transformation during Benjamin’s time and also created a threatening connotation to Benjamin him self’s life as a Jew and as a radical during this time period.…

    At the end of Great War (1914-1918), European society faced astronomical cultural and social changes that eventually led to the rise Fascism in Italy, Germany, and Spain. Throughout the 1920s, Jose Ortega y Gasset gave series of lectures that eventually became his magnum opus entitled The Revolt of the Masses. His work centers on the rise of the mass-man and his disregard for political authority (or the state), culture, and progress. Gasset essentially argues that the perfection of the 19th century gave rise to the barbarism that occurred throughout the 20th century, which allowed for the conditions that led the mass-man away from being a noble man and gave rise to his selfish nature. The mass- man serves as the perfect spokesperson for universal…

    Elite Theory Of Fascism

    Elite theories have often been associated with fascism. In particular, elite theorists such as Pareto and Michels had undeniable ties with the Italian Fascist party and the latter even supported Mussolini. One of the strongest arguments for this association is that elite theories are usually deemed to be anti-socialist and anti-democratic. By rejecting both Marxism and the democratic system, elite theories seem to be advocating for new forms of power, which fascism can easily be seen as the expression of. Moreover, part of the engrained rhetoric of elite theories is the criticism of elite-led societies.…

    In a time when ideology and convictions were shaped by the church, a new ideology was on the horizon that would begin the revolutionary transformation of the western world into what we know as the renaissance period. This new way of thought was brought about due to certain doctrines of the Catholic church that was viewed as uncanonical and dogmatic. The idealistic movement of Renaissance humanism’s spread throughout first Florence and then western Europe was greatly due to men with common convictions of human potential and achievement such as Ficino, Pico, and Alberti, while men such as Machiavelli contributed to humanism’s idea of freedom of expression with the acceptance of immoral and unlawful conduct. Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499),…
