Inside Out

In Odds against Tomorrow (1959), the relation between crime thriller and social commentary in Robert Wise’s film can be said to turn the generic glove inside out so that the heist picture becomes a vehicle for social protest. Unlike The Defiant Ones (1957), in which the positive social message is compromised by its ultimately regressive take on the prison picture, the apocalyptic, seemingly nihilistic conclusion of Odds against Tomorrow represents a negative critique of both the heist and social-problem picture. From this dual point of view, Wise’s film may be said to be what Jonathan Munby calls a “civil rights noir,” an oxymoron that points to the limits of the classic social-problem film even as it points up the latent utopianism of the heist picture. Unlike the conclusion of The Asphalt Jungle, which looks backward to the nation’s agrarian past, the ending of Odds against Tomorrow evokes the lunar landscape and, by implication, the promise of the “new frontier”--of space travel and civil rights in the oppressive face of ignorance and prejudice.

Moral Point

This chapter identifies a number of developments that are candidates for moral progress: abolition of the Atlantic chattel slavery, improvements in civil rights for minorities, equal rights for women, better treatment of (some) non-human animals, and abolition of the cruellest punishments in most parts of the world. This bottom-up approach is then used to construct a typology of moral progress, including improvements in moral reasoning, recognition of the moral standing or equal basic moral status of beings formerly thought to lack them, improvements in understandings of the domain of justice, the recognition that some behaviors formerly thought to be morally impermissible (such as premarital sex, masturbation, lending money at interest, and refusal to die “for king and country”) can be morally permissible, and improvements in understandings of morality itself. Finally, a distinction is made between improvements from a moral point of view and moral progress in the fullest sense.

The article explores the idea that public administration can act as an independent means of protection of civil rights, complementing such tools as civil law types of protection of rights, which consist in proving the legality of possession of the property itself. Protection of property rights is traditionally considered a field of private law, built on the principles of respect for private property, equality of arms, independence of the court and a fair settlement of legal disputes. It is stated that, unlike civil law methods of protection of rights, public administration as a method of protection of rights is aimed not at protecting the issue of legality of possession but at protecting the registration record from wrongful distortion. A large array of rules on the protection of private property is of a public law nature and is associated with the administration of relevant records. It is argued that from the point of view of protection of property rights, in particular property rights to real estate and their derivatives - the rights of the mortgagee, rights of claim, which are notarized, etc., the activities of state bodies are an organizational means of protecting such rights in the form of public administration. Publicity means that any decisions regarding changes in registered rights are made in public and, in accordance with the procedures provided by law, become public property, including stakeholders and an indefinite number of entities. It is determined that the essence of administration is that rights are protected on a procedural basis and the need for certain legal preconditions for making a management decision on changes in registered rights cannot be replaced by other legal preconditions, or a decision cannot be made without sufficient legal grounds.

Since the 2008 election of the first African American President of the United States, Barack Obama, racial hatred has been on the rise. During the 2016 presidential election, right-wing extremist groups like the Ku Klux Klan and Ultra-Right groups have become more vocal resulting in civil rights organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center reporting a significant rise in hate crimes and threats. Unfortunately, President Donald Trump helped to stoke the fears of these hate groups with his incendiary campaign rhetoric of hate mostly against immigrants. This chapter provides a historical overview of racial hate and its manifestation of homegrown terrorism in America. Additionally, this chapter examines how hatred and fear became the source of lynching and race riots in America from the 18th to the 21st century. Understanding the past and present history of hatred directed at racial, ethnic and gender groups can help to bring a factual and more truthful point of view that can help reduce the recurrence of homegrown terrorism.
