SOC-185 Final Reading Answers
According to Edward Said in "The Clash of Ignorance," what's wrong with
Huntington's use of the labels "the West" and "Islam" in his 1996 book, The
Clash of Civilizations? - correct answer ✔This is the problem with unedifying
labels like Islam and the West: They mislead and confuse the mind, which is
trying to make sense of a disorderly reality that won't be pigeonholed or
strapped down as easily as all that.


Huntington is an ideologist, someone who wants to make "civilizations" and
"identities" into what they are not: shut-down, sealed-off entities that have
been purged of the myriad currents and countercurrents that animate human
history, and that over centuries have made it possible for that history not only
to contain wars of religion and imperial conquest but also to be one of
exchange, crossfertilization and sharing. This far less visible history is ignored
in the rush to highlight the ludicrously compressed and constricted warfare
that "the clash of civilizations" argues is the reality.


Why is the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education
a good example of Zinn's reminder that "the really critical thing isn't who is
sitting in the White House"? - correct answer ✔There's hardly anything more
important that people can learn about politics than that the really critical thing
isn't who is sitting in the White House, but who is sitting in the streets, in the
cafeterias, in the halls of government, in the factories. Who is protesting, who
is occupying
offices and demonstrating. Those are the things
that determine what happens.


In other words, there are all these pressures-internal and external-that operate
on the Supreme Court and on the government. It isn't simply a matter of the
judges closing themselves in from the world, sitting in their chambers, and
reading the words of the Constitution over and over again until something
becomes clear to

, them. Their minds are much clarified by the things that are swirling around
them in the world.


Why is Zinn so optimistic and how does he explain why so many people are
pessimistic about the ability for societal change for the better? - correct
answer ✔There are thousands of things that are going on all the time that
aren't reported in the mainstream press and aren't reported in the major
media. There's evidence of an enormous amount of energy in towns and cities
all over the country-energy of people who are doing things that are noble and
helpful to other people. But the work they do doesn't appear on television.


If you're aware of that- if you pay attention to that and don't allow yourself to
be overwhelmed by the images of the great and not so great in Washington,
D.C., you can get a sense of an
enormous potential for change in this country.


If you take seriously these images [of government officials and not ordinary
people] on television, and what you read in the newspapers, and take that as
representative of our society, it's very disheartening. Because you're hearing
things that really confirm the status quo. You're not hearing signs of resistance
to it.


Why, according to Parenti, must "U.S. global policy" be opposed? - correct
answer ✔US global policy is devoted to benefiting the few not the many. This
global policy must be opposed not because it is a failure, but because it has
been so terribly successful in the service of the rich and powerful, at great
cost to the American people and still greater cost to the peoples of many other
lands.


Parenti alludes to the "Third-worldization" of the "Western World." What does
he mean by that? - correct answer ✔"Third-worldization" is the goal of US
politico-economic elites to bring the Third World to the Western world, rolling
