The Parallels of Fascism and Political Correctness On/Within Academia (Death of Radical Thinkers in Favor for "Others")
SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
When scrutinizing historical events, and through examining fascist movements, we discover that the institution of the University has developed distinct characteristics of fascist states. It is imperative to ask: to what extremity does political correctness within university culture(s) conform with the distinctional (political) institutions that surrounded Western Europe during first half of the 20th century? I will argue and demonstrate that university is now reflective of the very things we fought against - totalitarianism. By examining Peter F. Drucker's Political Correctness and Academe (1998) and George Orwell's 1984 (1949), a global perspective to why university is now, in the business of, protecting regressive leftists, which will be defined later, and advancing their "narratives" will be understood. Besides our abstract, and conclusion, our argument will be broken down into six separate sections.For argumentative purposes, section II will focus on our definitions of and understanding of each term. Thereafter, section III will be the foundational argument of University functioning. We will see how fascism coincides with the lack of diversity in education in section IV, and section V, the historical ideology of fascism in comparison to Islam will be examined. Sections VI and VII will center on the pragmatic nature of faith on campus, and Marxist theory. More specifically, the history. Our conclusion will focus on the broader unifying point of our paper: why faith is dangerous.
