5. Christopher Columbus Research Paper
Who is the most responsible for the collapse of the Taino? For my entire life, my
answer to that question has been Christopher Columbus. No ifs or buts about it.
But now that I ve become more educated on the matter, I ve been forced to consider
other possibilities. And, consequently, have changed my mind on who is
responsible. Although it would be easier to blame a person or a group of people, I
believe the blame falls on the system of empire. The European system affected every
decision Columbus and his men made. Although they physically committed the
crimes, they wouldn t have if they had not been raised under the European system.
For example, the Spanish were so hungry for land because land equated to power in
Europe. The more property

novel, what role does the issue of slavery play as to the purpose of the war in
general and this battle in specific? In the novel, the main reason why fighting is
occurring is not because of slavery, but rather to preserve the Union or allow state
power to be superior over Federal law. Also, most of the men fighting in the
Confederate army were not wealthy enough for slaves. General Lee even freed his
slaves in the beginning of the war, he saw that the war was not about slavery but
about the importance of state power. The only General who had strong feelings about
slavery was Chamberlain. The Union General, Chamberlain, fought solely so that
African Americans and whites would be treated equal. He believed that all should be
able to enjoy the same freedoms as him. 8. Was Freemantle (the Englishman) an

This is shown when he is around a battle scene and doesn t fully understand what is
going on. Since he is not part of the war, he doesn t really have to worry about
anything since there is so much chaos going on around him. Also in the Confederates
eyes, the British could be an ally to the South but, Longstreet and Lee know that the
British will never side with the Confederates because of their involvement in the act
of slavery. Also, Freemantle has an ironic view on the Southerners and their behavior.
Freemantle views the Southerners as gentleman but in reality they kill brethren from
the northern side of the country every day in hopes to split from the country. Also,
this is ironic because the British are fond of the country splitting because they split

8. Heritage And Identity In Everyday Use By Alice Walker
Everyday Use Essay Everyday Use, by Alice Walker, is a thought provoking short
story that touches on the subjects of heritage and identity. Throughout the story, the
two main characters, Mama and Dee, undergo transformations as they attempt to
find their true identities. Mama transforms from a mother that favors her outgoing,
oldest daughter over her more reserved, youngest daughter to a protective one that
is comfortable with her own way of life. Dee changes from an impoverished girl
who is ashamed of her upbringing, to a fiery young woman who is secure in her
African roots. In the beginning of the story, Mama dreams that she and Dee are
finally reunited on a television show. Sometimes I dream a dream in which Dee and
I are suddenly brought together on a TV program...but of course all this does not
show on television. I am the way my daughter would wantme to be (pg. 104). In the
dream Mama is slim and fair skinned, but in reality, she is large with working
hands. Mama feels like she doesn t live up to what Dee wishes she was like. She
wants to make Dee happy, and this shows later on in the story when she tries to
make her other daughter, Maggie, stay and get along with Dee when she comes.
Maggie attempts to make a dash for the house, in her shuffling way, but I stay her
with my hand. Come back here, I say. And she stops and tries to dig a well in the

9. Differences And Similarities Between The Anti-Federalists...
Anti Federalists Vs FederalistsDuring 1787 to 1789, I believe that it would have
been better to side with the anti federalists because they believed in a more free form
of government. The anti federalists would rather live an agrarian lifestyle instead of
being so uptight with their government standing over them. They also believed that
the Constitution was lacking bill of rights which is the most important thing that it
should obtain. The last thing that they argued that would help us be more free was
for the government to not have just one president but many leaders so that the
people s voice would be heard. An agrarian lifestyle is that of like Dairyville.

10. Nuclear Disarmament Is Wrong
In a world where individual nations are constantly at odds and conflict seems
inevitable, it is imperative more now than ever to encourage congeniality amongst
states and begin a path towards complete nuclear disarmament. The arguments of
Scott Sagan, one of the fathers of the nuclear proliferation debate, can easily find
grounds for support inside the Catholic Church. Thus, through careful examination of
the flawed concept of nuclear deterrence, the offensive nature of military
organizations, and the grave damage weapons of mass destruction can inflict on
civilian populations, one can clearly see why the Catholic Church and nuclear
pessimists alike are in favor of nonproliferation and disarmament. International

Although Waltz argues that terrorist groups aim to conduct small scale attacks and
therefore have no interest in fissile material, his claim is disputed by the most
notorious terrorist attack in modern history which occurred on September 11, 2001.
For terrorist organizations, mass destruction is a goal, not a fear. They have nothing
to lose and are not phased by the threat of retaliation. Osama bin Laden, who was
responsible for the 9/11 attacks, stated that we [Jihadist terrorists] do not differentiate
between those dressed in military uniforms and civilians. Those in agreement with
bin Laden do not care to distinguish soldiers from civilians and neither do nuclear
weapons. This compatibility is what makes nuclear terrorism a viable possibility and
a reality which must be prevented. To further support the threat of nuclear terrorism,
the former Archbishop of Baltimore said: It is critically important that the United
States work with the international community to prevent the acquisition of nuclear
weapons by non nuclear states and to prevent the transfer of weapons and nuclear
materials to terrorists and other non state actors. Moreover, the Holy See s
Ambassador to the U.N. calls nuclear terrorism a real and present danger that should

11. Analysis Of Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been
Joyce Oats short story, Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been, is a great
read on many different levels. Oats displays the effects of youthfulness in a teenage
girl named Connie. The story is a gripping story that unveils the weakness of a
teenage girl. Connie could hardly validate fantasy from reality. She delights herself
as a beautiful girl who understands the basic mores of life. Her need for boys
attention makes her pride herself as a shinning example of beauty. Connie finds
desire in her sexuality, listening to musicand daydreaming her ideas into fantasies.
Connie s major dilemma in the story is Arnold Friend, which we will explore later.
The importance s of the music in this short storyis pronounce, because I feel that
music sets the mood for important events, that Connie deals with. The premise
that flows through this story is that music is connected to the real world and
weaves through Connie s dream world. Connie is very much like many teenagers
in our society today. Connie found joy in leaving and hanging out with her friends
at drive in restaurants, listening to music and daydreaming about boys. The
restaurant was shaped like a big bottle, though squatter than a real bottle, and on its
cap was a revolving figure of a grinning boy holding a hamburger aloft (370).
Overall her pleasure, she discovered in both of these things had zero to do with
Andrews 2 real events, but is based on a fantasy. Music itself has a huge impact

13. The World According To Americans 2012 Summary
The world has a perception of the American people and it s not as flattering as we
would like to be. In Yanko Tsvetlov s image The World According To Americans
2012 he illustrates in a brilliantly colored map exactly how that perception appears to
the rest of the international community. Using a map of the entire world, Tsvetlov
somewhat comically and perhaps accurately labels countries or regions of the map in
condescending statements or stereotypes (Tsvetlov). These labels are Tsvetlov s
interpretation of how the Americanpeople, either through lack of education or culture
or perhaps simple misconception, see various regions of the globe. Our arrogance
and ignoranceas a nation has painted a picture for the rest of the world to easily
judge us by. From tourists misbehaving to soldiers acting foolishly abroad, the world
sees too much of the wrong side of the American people. Tsvetlov leaves his image
open to much interpretation allowing the audience to draw its own conclusion about
what exactly he s trying to suggest.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
If interpreted in this fashion the map provides us with a simplistic Americanized
view of the world according to Tsvetlov. We can see the reduction of entire
continents to comical phrases or the summation of whole peoples to on word
(Tsvetlov). In fact, the continent nation of Australia was referred to as kangaroo
riders reinforcing the idea that Americans characterize the world into simple groups
(Tsvetlov). Further evidence for this mentality towards the world can be seen in the
title given for all of Central America. Seven countries are degraded in to one
offensive term Housekeeping which perhaps explains why it s so easy for many
foreigners to dislike Americans
14. Character Analysis Of Nicholas Kimble
The most important trait all heroes must have is that their actions are for others,
not for themselves, and they act selflessly. A hero recovers from their struggles
determined to inspire others around them to be their best. Heroes can come in all
different ages, races, genders, and personality types. There are many heroes around,
even in everyday life. It could be a friend, a relative, even a coworker. In my case, it
was my classmate Nick Kimble. Nicholas Kimble, also known as No Knees Nick,
was born at home in a kiddie pool. From a young age he was interested in Latinand
would draw detailed pictures of famous Greek scenes, not unlike the renaissance
artists. Naturally, he pursued Latin in his high schoolcareer, which is where I met...

Despite his tragic past, Nick is persistence in his goal of aiding others.
When it comes to allies, Nick is known for making oodles of friends. One of which
is Natalie Shaner, who loves kids and takes Latin and Physics with him. Natalie
tends not to speak to new people, but when Nick talks to her she can t stay quiet!
Natalie describes him as, Seeing as... I know him well... he is like a child...
However, I would... describe him as the brightest bulb in the box. Nick loves
making new friends. It s rare to see him without a pal or two around and some even
report a few ladies trailing behind him. Nick has no enemies. If someone dislikes
him, Nick sits them down, gently yet firmly touching their shoulder, and asks them
who hurt them. No one can resist immediately bursting into tears and crying into
Nick s perfect arms. This is just one example of many in which No Knees Nick aids
others generously.
Nick s ultimate goal in life is to become a Feng Shui Consultant. To work towards
that, he participates in many extracurricular activities to grow close to his peers and
learn more about each individual s aura. Every Sunday after church, Nick spends his
time volunteering at animal shelters. During the week, he is President of the Latin
Club. He really puts effort into showing up, says Angela, a fellow Latin Club
member. Over the summer, No Knees Nick dedicated his time to reading every

many small dog breeds, even they can withstand a bit more in a brutal game, as long

16. The Collapse And Revival Of American Community By
Robert...
In his famous book Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American
Community, Robert Putnam charted the decline in social capital and social
institutions since the 1950s while arguing that a vibrant and successful democracy
ultimately requires significant engagement from a wide segment of its population.
This argument was something that even concerned Tocqueville (2006) regarding the
American Experiment. Tocqueville marveled in the strengths of organizations such
as the church in America. However, he also warned that the importance of
individualism within American society could serve as its own downfall. This is the
case that Putnam makes in his book. American life has always been seen as a
vibrant community with significant social engagement; however, the trends seem to
be reversing. Putnam (2000) describes in detail the decline in participation in civic
organizations such as religious groups, the Red Cross, Boy Scouts of America, and
social groups such as fraternal organizations and bowling leagues. Indeed, the title of
the book comes from the reality that while the number of people who bowl has
increased by 20 percent, the number of people who participate in bowling leagues has
significantly declined. The overarching argument here is that people who refrain
from participating in social interaction serves as a disservice to the country and hurts
the American Dream by removing the protection of interconnection. Putnam (2000)
also details the concerning decrease in

compared to another university natural history museum in a foreign country. The
comparisons involve taking a closer look at the history, function, staffing, and
programs at museums. Many reasons can lead collectors to starting a private museum.

to keep control over the collection, a private museum is an option that provides the

The museum has a small staff of eight employees (two positions focused on
education) and has an average of two hundred visitors on a weekly basis (Buchanan

of the Miami art scene (Buchanan 2002). This museum is the Rubell Collection s
main mission and function is to share their vast collection of contemporary art and
support emerging artists. They have an active internship program, lecture series, and
a partnership with Miami Dade county schools to support education (The Rubell
Collection). The museum also houses a research library with over forty thousand
volumes and a bookstore (The Rubell Collection). In order to share their expansive
collections, the Rubells also lend their exhibits to other museums all over the world
(Solway 2014). Taking a look at a private art museum in another country, The
Pinacotheque in Paris is presented. The Pinacotheque is Paris s first private art
museum and was established in 2007. Pinacotheque loosely translates into the image
box (Restellini 2011). The Pinacotheque displays art like the Rubell Collection, but
they are not displaying art from one collector, but many collectors. One exhibit
included the art collection of two prominent Hungarian families: The Esterhazys and
The Romanovs, from the eighteenth century (Restellini 2011). Their mission, like

19. Analysis Of The Movie Benito Cereno
Benito Cereno is appropriately titled, because despite it being narrated Captain
Delano, it is not his story or his character arch. Delano finds out Cereno s relationship
with his slaves, but otherwise does not change much. Cereno is controlled by his
slaves, which results in his death. At first glance, I thoughtthis story would focus
more on Delano, painting Cereno as a villain to be defeated by the end. I can tell it
doesn t take just one read to fully understand this, as the twist ending changes
everything that came before in the story. Another look at this makes the strange
behavior more understandable. It becomes clear why Cereno reacted the way he
did when asked about the ship because he hesitated to recall Babo s story. It is clear
that Babo was threatening Cereno when he showed him the razor. The secret isn t
revealed until the very end, so a first read for anyone may feel tedious and
confusing. Melville expresses Delano s thought process in a very gradual and
precise matter. As the crew s behavior becomes increasingly suspicious, with the
black slave stabbing the cabin boy and Cereno doing nothing about it, the
exchanges between master and slave, the attack of the Spanish sailor, Delano is
skeptical, but trusting nonetheless. It is unclear if Delano should ve trusted Cereno
more or less. If Delano was carried away by his thought process, or if he didn t trust
most people, he would have more quickly discovered Cereno s secrets. On the other
hand, Babo would have

The jock (Andrew Clark) usually picks on nerds such as Brian and would become
an outcast in his group of athletes if he were ever caught dead socializing with him.
The princess (Claire Standish) is part of a high social class and would never be
caught dead with anyone outside her wealthy click (except perhaps Andrew since
he is a jock and we all know the princess is usually dating the jock). The
troublemaker (John Bender) preys on all the members of the group, exploiting
their weaknesses for his personal enjoyment (Ironically, without this, the group
would have probably never even spoken a word to one another and his intense
negativity towards the group is what brought them all together). And finally the
basket case Allison Reynolds is somewhat indifferent about the group at first and
pays no attention to them and then watches them from behind, as the group grows

made up to impress or shock the group members. As for control, there seems to be a

all the members or the group down to make himself feel like he is better than them
all, but Andrew, being the jock that he is, is not going to let another male get the
best of him. Claire refuses to be controlled or ordered by such low class scum like

When needing to retreat, Annie Dillard goes to Tinker Creek and immerses herself
in nature. During one of these trips, she has a snippet of a revelation, which makes
her see beauty and ugliness in harmony and see the world as meaningful; even
though there is sorrow. In this passage, Dillard uses the symbolism of a maple key
and similes to explain its descend as something beautiful, seeing the positive in the
negative. When she is at Tinker Creek, she uses words like lost, sunk which shows
the lack of understanding as she looks towards Tinker Mountain. All of a sudden,
she sees what looks like a Martian spaceship . She uses a simile to describe what
she sees as otherworldly or magical because a Martian spaceship is not from this
world. She describes that it flashed borrowed light like a propeller . As the object
is coming down, it brings with it light or a revelation. She goes on to portray it as
pirouetting and twirling , words which are often associated with ballet and are
viewed by most people as beautiful. Her experience with this beautiful, otherworldly
object is a door that allows her to see this as part of the beauty in the world.
When the object falls, she finds it in the grass and she later identifies it as a simple
maple key. Dillard identifies the key after describing her experience because she
was unsure of what it was as it was falling but knew after had fallen. The maple key,
which usually is in pairs falls single. She greets the maple with a simple

On a dark and stormy night, Meg Murry tosses and turns in her attic bedroom. She
is unable to fall asleep because she is preoccupied with all that seems wrong in her
life: she doesn t fit in at school; her high school teachers have just threatened to
drop her down a grade on account of her poor academic performance; and worst of
all, her father has been missing for many years and no one has heard from him.
Meg hears her family s big black dog Fortinbras barking downstairs, and she begins
to worry that a stranger may be skulking around the house; she suspects the tramp
who, according to local gossip, recently stole twelve bed sheets from the constable
s wife, Mrs. Buncombe. Dismissing her fears as silly and attempting to calm her
nerves, Meg decides to make herself some cocoa in the kitchen. She is surprised to
find her five year old brother Charles Wallace waiting for her at the kitchen table,
though she notes that Charles always seems capable of reading her mind. Mrs.
Murry soon joins her children, and tells Meg that she has received a call from Mrs.
Henderson, the mother of the boy Meg had beaten up at school that day. Meg
complains to her mother that she hates being an oddball at school. She wishes she
were more ordinary like her twin younger brothers, Sandy and Dennys. Mrs. Murry
tells Meg that she needs to learn the meaning of moderation, the importance of
finding a happy medium. Charles then comments that he has spoken about Meg s
problems with his friend Mrs. Whatsit, though he refuses to explain who this woman
is. As Charles Wallace is preparing sandwiches for his mother and sister, Fortinbras
begins to bark loudly again. Mrs. Murry goes outside to find the cause of the
commotion. She returns with Charles s mysterious friend Mrs. Whatsit, an eccentric
tramp completely bundled up in wet clothes. Mrs. Whatsit explains that she glories in
nights of such wild weather, but that tonight she has been blown off course in the
storm. Charles asks her why she stole bed sheets from Mrs. Buncombe, confirming
Meg s suspicion that Mrs. Whatsit is the neighborhood tramp. After removing her
boots and drying her feet, Mrs. Whatsit suddenly remarks that there is such a thing as

An abundance of characteristics exists with this group of twelve learners. While all
are undergraduate college level students, they each possess an individual level of

subject of Crisis Intervention calls for one to be able to assess the clients needs,
identify the risks, locate resources, and provide therapeutic communication (ATI

fundamental nursing knowledge that the learners have been practicing since eight

Per the assignment criteria, three topics of interest were offered to the learners via e

Directive, and High Risk Health Behavior. These three were influence by the NCLEX
Test Plan (2013). The learners had proclaimed that there was a greater interest in the
topic of Crisis Intervention versus the other options (Personal communication, 2015).
With this conclusion, the topic was submitted to the clinical instructor for review.
Crises are a natural part of life (Halter, 2014). However, when one does not have the
proper tools to overcome a crisis, it can be valuable for a nurse to aid the client in
doing so. By the very definition of nature , it is not unique to one subset population.

The Eloi live off a life of pleasure and are the over landers, they are very small and
fragile with a very weak character Their hair, which was uniformly curly came to a
sharp end at the neck and cheek; there ears were singularly minute. The mouths
were small, with bright red, rather thin lips, and the little chins ran to a point. The
eyes were large and mild, that was a quote from the book in which Wells describes
the Eloi in a very detailed fashion.
The Morlocks were the masters of the land and these used to be the exploited
labourers, they were the mine and factory workers who worked in appalling dark
conditions. The Morlocks feed off of the Eloi which is a class of cannibalism, they
have total control over the Eloi which is totally the opposite to when Wells wrote
this book, the Morlocks, the workers, had no say in what went on all they were
there to do was to work hard in appalling conditions. The Morlocks are ugly looking
creatures and work underground in dark surroundings, they are subterranean beings
and they have totally adapted to this environment, in the book Wells describes them
as small, white moving creatures with large bright eyes he says it looked like a

26. Dna And Sequence Of Dna Essay
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a self replicating nucleic acid that carries the
genetic information in cells in a double helix structure. The 2 stranded helix is
composed of 4 nucleotides, Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine
(C). The base pairs only form between A and T connected by 2 Hydrogen bonds and
G and C connected by 3 hydrogen bonds. Foremost DNAwrapping comes about as
DNA wraps around protein called histones. These combined loops of DNA and
protein are called nucleosomes and the nucleosomes are packaged into a thread
called chromatin. Chromosomes are made up of packaged chromatin and can be seen
in the nucleus of dividing cells and form around DNA replication. Furthermore, DNA
replication begins with 2 DNA strands being separated by the helicase enzyme.
Single stranded DNA binding proteins attach to these strands to keep them from re
connecting. 1 DNA strand begins to encode called the leading strand, which Forms
from 5 to 3 end using DNA polymerase 3 the primary polymerase. The other strand
is referred to as the lagging strand, which presents problems because it has to form
from the 5 to 3 end as well. As continuous replication of the leading strand continues
the lagging strand forms in pieces called Okazaki fragments. RNA primase forms as
RNA primer and polymerase III lay down new DNA. This process repeats again and
again. DNA polymerase I replaces RNA primers with DNA and DNA ligase links the
Okazaki fragments. Along with the process of DNA
27. Fear The Walking Dead Persuasive Essay
This past Sunday, AMC graced us with the premier of Fear the Walking Dead, a
spin off of the amazing, The Walking Dead TV series. While I am not a huge fan of
spin offs in general, I must say that I was impressed.
The following may contain spoilers, so if you haven t had the chance to see the
premier, I would highly recommend doing so before reading further.
So why should you watch Fear the Walking Dead? Because I said you should! And
the fact that the first episode will have you hooked, well, if you are a Walking Dead
fan that is.
So where does Fear the Walking Dead fit into The Walking Dead universe? Well
that s easy, it takes place prior to the events of The Walking Dead, and on the west
coast. More or less the beginning of zombie infection.
In TWD, Rick wakes from a coma, to an unrecognizable world. Essentially a zombie
apocalypse where food and supplies are hard to come by. ... Show more content on

Instead of the completely depressing feel of TWD world, we are given a much
more active, slightly less depressing feel in FTWD. Why do I say slightly less
depressing? Well the fact that the first episode opens in an abandoned and run
down church which is a haven for drug users, might be a good reason. Or, the fact
that our opening character, Nick, a junkie, witnesses the girl he was with, eating
someones face off. I could be wrong. Throughout the episode, we get to learn about
Nick s somewhat dysfunctional family and hints of the zombie apocalypse starting
to unfold. There are also hints that the drug that Nick has been using, is causing
people to become zombies. Of course, nobody understands what is going on yet, not
even Nick. Everything starts to be put in perspective when Nick s drug dealer,
Calvin, attempts to kill him, only to get killed himself. After fleeing the location and
then returning with his mother, Madison, and step father, Travis, Nick finds that
Calvins body is missing, at least until they try to
28. Satan s Role In Ancient Polytheistic Religion
First of all, there is the fact that, because Satan is not associated to one particular
element considered evil, such as darkness, death or droughts, but rather to all the
evils that exist, he can change and evolve with time. Since he created indirect evil,
depending on which group is being studied, such as Christians for example, there will
always be another group to consider different and satanic, be it the Romans, the
Muslims, the Atheists or even other Christians. No matter the time in history, there
will always be a new event, a new group, or a new element to demonize.
The fact that Satan is able to evolve in such a way helps him remain relevant
throughout history. The similar figures discussed at the beginning came from
polytheistic religions, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Canaan, Ancient Greece and Ancient
Rome, so they had a single specific function for which they existed. This meant they
could be easily replaced by another deity with the same role, and so they d be either
forgotten and lost in history, or remember only as an old, dead God. This is most
notably shown in the fact there were four different Gods used as an example to
discuss similar evil figures in ancient polytheistic religions. ... Show more content on

As a matter of fact, there is not a single, strict and definite way that Satan can be
described. He is obviously known by many names; Lucifer, Beelzebub, The Devil,
Prince of Darkness, Father of Lies, Evil One...these are all different titles given to
Satan, yet they all don t necessarily mean the same thing. Different groups can hence
take the overall main idea of Satan and the function he fulfills in the world, and
adapt him to fill that same role, but in accordance to their own beliefs. This simply
comes to show just how versatile Satan really

Scope of the essay:
The essay investigates how a director should communicate and work with actors
during rehearsal and on set to produce engaging performances. The essay investigates
different acting styles, the rehearsal process, directing on set and communication
between actors and director. The essay assumes the actor has formal training and basic
experience. The essay then proves effective communication achievable through the
actor s vocabulary is key not to over direct and building trust with the actor.

He weaves the soul of the person he is to portray out of emotions that were dearer to
him than everyday sensations (Stanislavsky, K: 1936).
I believe this is one of the most effective ways of acting, but in modern cinema this
techniques has often been described as dangerous to the actor s mental health. This
is because the actor creates a new character by using his own experiences and
reawakens emotional trauma that is part of his own life, and not that of solely the
character.
The following exercise allows the actor to focus their senses to become more
receptive to sense memory.
The actors should begin by focusing on the three dominant senses: sight, sound and
touch. The actor should then choose an object that appeals to these senses and start to
explore it intensely. The actor should become aware of which sense is the most
dominant and record the finding to discuss afterwards.
Next, the actor should assume a comfortable position and focus all attention on a
single stimulus such as a colour, sound, texture etc.) This should carry on for about 5
minutes, after which the findings should be documented and discussed (Taylor, J.
2001).
I feel that these exercises are useful if performed before rehearsals by only the actor.
The experiences the actor gained through these exercises should only be available for
recall during rehearsals. It is not important for the director to know how or where the

Within...
This report highlights a continuous period where police officers and their
employers are subject to the provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998, The
Disability Discrimination Act 1995, 2005 and the Equality Act 2010. It takes
place at a time where the police service has been labelled as institutionally racist
(Macpherson, 1999) and at a time when studies show that racism, sexism and
gender are a significant factor within the dominant and highly influential police
occupational culture (Loftus, 2008). The purpose of this report is to examine the
equality and diversity procedures carried out within the Metropolitan Police
Service (MPS the largest Police Service in England and Wales) in comparison to
UK legislation and Policy. Before going into depth of the report it is necessary to
define the terms equality and diversity. Scholars have struggled to define diversity
clearly. This may be because the term has been used to describe a large number of
differences between people (Mannix Neale, 2005). Surface level diversity can
simply be described as demographic difference and deep level diversity as
differences in attitudes and beliefs (Harrison et al, 2002). The Universal Declaration
of Human Rights relates equality to All human beings are born free and equal in
dignity and rights, which means that they are all equal in their humanity and moral
worth and they all share an essential dignity as human beings. Gaps in equality and

Genocide
Genocide a word that brings forth the morbid image of barbed wire fences, trenches
overflowing with bodies, malnourished men, women, and children, a depressing
black sky. Genocides definition is the deliberate killing of people who belong to a
particular racial, political, or cultural group (Merriam Webster.com) True to its name
genocide is a word that has the ability to cause war and leaves a hellish vision in its
victims. Despite all of this the seemingly impossibility it is possible to solve and end
genocide. And although it is seen as a dreadful plague and world powers should
focus partially on ending this catastrophe.
The word genocide was invented by Raphael Lemkin in 1944 to describe the horrors
and crimes of the Der NationalSozialisten or Nazi party. The Holocaust Brought forth
a new level of horror almost unthinkable at the time, thus leaving a deep scar in many
people and the world. Still haunting the world to this day the Holocaust gave the
crime of genocide it s name and sadly crimes like it continued throughout the 20th
century.
Even worse genocides have happened, after Hitler and his regime fell. Josef Stalin
of course and his killing of over 30 million of his own people. Then Mao Zedong
who makes Hitler appear as a playground bully with his killing of around 80 million
of his own countrymen to make way for communist China. Now to a more recent

Countries through out the world import and export. You import because other
countries have comparative advantages over natural resources and in some cases
have more human resources since the labor is cheaper. It is produced abroad and
will be imported to the United States. You export when it is cheaper to produce the
goods or service in your country. This includes having access to human capital,
natural resources and human resources. The United States is known for producing
aircraft, spacecraft and etc. It is in demand because it produces the merchandise at
a lower cost compared to other countries. Export produced in the domestic country
and exports abroad. The Untied States is one of the largest exporters in the world.
They are the world s third largest exporters. In 2015 the United States total trade
with foreign countries was 4.99 trillion. They imported more than they exported.
That s a huge issue we are facing here in the United States. We have a negative
balance of trade, also known as a trade deficit since our imports are greater. We
exported 2.23 trillion and imported 2.76 trillion. For these reasons, it has been
blamed that it is destroying our economy and the caused for having a lack of jobs.
People are blaming imports for their lost of jobs. It is cheaper to produce other
materials in other countries because they have more access to other natural resources
than we do. They don t understand the importance to have a trade balance. Another

However, Menocchio attacked a very integral part of Catholicism with force, thus
making his remarks appear very dangerous to the foundation of the Catholic
Church. Despite many warnings from his council, such as his lawyer telling him
to, tell them what they want to know (Ginzburg, 5), Menocchio was a free spirit
and wanted to speak his mind. While telling the court of his many thoughts, the
origins of these, at the time, very radical ideas were unknown. Although the court
documents prove that Menocchio had read many religious books, including an
unknown book thought to be the Koran, poems and other resources, it was
unlikely that he came up with all of his ideas from one single source. Menocchio s
ideas were more of a melting pot of various sources that had culminated in many
discontinuous and contradictory ideas. Menocchio drew from as many as 11
sources, most likely more, that led to his conclusions about the origins of earth as
well as what he thought were errors in the religion. It is likely that no single source
led to his thoughts on the Genesis. It is more likely that Menocchio compounded oral
history, The Bible and likely other sources to create his milk and cheese origins of the
earth theory. This multitude of sources compounded with the massive amounts of
information that came along with so many sources led to many contradictory ideas
seen during his trials. This, combined with his heretical ideas, lead to his ultimate

The objectivity of the enlightenment, which explains everything through
mathematical and scientific laws, is in itself the impediment within progress because
to detach the emotional aspect of reason within rationale results in fragmented

certain personas and events in Arcadia typify Enlightenment characterization, others
depict characterization of personas and events peculiar to Romanticism. Wither
exemplifying Enlightenment or Romantic ideals, Arcadia serves to communicate the
chaos that transpires when only one realm is effectuated. Arcadia inaugurates the

Literature is a genre of Southern writing that often uses violence and grotesque
topics. It also used many other elements that go through the whole story and each
element happens multiple times, especially in Stown. The listener was always in
suspense and never knew what was going to happen next, especially when John

each other and how this piece is classic, so as the reader, they are in for a fun ride.
How decay, violence and irony can prove that this podcast is classic. Stown is a

Stown is a classic piece of Southern Gothic Literature because of how it shows

however decay really shows that this is a classic piece by taking the reader back to
the old days and how things were handled differently back in the day. When people
come up to John s property they always say that it takes them back to the civil war
days, how nothing has changed and that it seems like it has not changed at all, like
time has paused at John s property. Brian says that, It takes me deep into the woods,
trees arching over it, until finally I reach a clearing with an old wooden house with
three chimneys that looks like it hasn t changed since the Civil War. The whole
place feels like it s of another time. And it is, literally. Even Brian says that john s
house takes him back to the Civil War days and that it is in it s own time, how
John likes to do his own stuff and not do the norm. Brian also says that John does
not run on the same time zone as the rest of the world so his land is on a totally
different time than the rest of the world. Brian explains how, John doesn t follow
daylight savings, so his property is on a time zone separate from the world around
it. John likes to keep it old school and not do what other people do, that is a classic
southern stereotype that is portrayed through the US. The podcast is shown as a

square shaped which does not make for the best cookies. Unfortunately, they tend

After the cookies are finished baking, take them out and immediately after placing
the pan down, add two chocolate chips on top of each cookie. If a person adds
more than two, the chocolate chips will not melt right and the cookies will be a
big disaster. The reason why the additional chocolate chips must be added right
after the cookies come out of the oven is so they can melt on top of the cookies
while they re still hot. Let the cookies sit for a couple of minutes to make sure the
chocolate chips melt; if they do not melt after a few minutes just simply put the
cookies back in the oven for 2 minutes at the most. After the chips have melted and
the cookies are cooled the chocolate chip cookies will be ready to be served. A person
will agree that those are the best cookies he/she have

sun, he had experienced everything he ever wanted to and gained wisdom from
those experiences, and that too he states is folly. I don t believe he was saying that
wisdom is a bad thing, what he was saying is that credit is not always given where
credit is due. Barksdale 2 Meaning that human nature does not always appreciate
wise counsel, even if its value is proven without a doubt. Though Solomon s wisdom
came through sin and sensuality, he had tasted every evil desire that he had wanted
to. He did not gain his wisdom through wise teachings and counsel, and doing the
right thing all the time; his wisdom was through experiences of useless sinful
activities. About midway through the book, the author Solomon switches from
proverbs of wisdom to poetry, why is this? Some believe the teacher had stopped
analyzing the dilemma of life and wanted to start giving practical advice. Others see
the poetry in the later chapters of the book as perhaps somewhat of

The Comradeship of War in All Quiet on the Western Front
War can destroy a young man mentally and physically. One might say that nothing
good comes out of war, but in Remarque s All Quiet on the Western Front, there is
one positive characteristic: comradeship. Paul and his friends give Himmelstoss a
beating in which he deserves due to his training tactics. This starts the brotherhood
of this tiny group. As explosions and gunfire sound off a young recruit in his first
battle is gun shy and seeks reassurance in Paul s chest and arms, and Paul gently tells
him that he will get used to it. The relationship between Paul and Kat is only found
during war, in which nothing can break them apart. The comradeship between

The training regimen awakens a sense of esprit de corps the group spirit shared by
those in the same group. Paul s battle with Himmelstoss shows a brighter side of
warfare, which is comradeship that develops in death defying situations. The value
for comradeship is appreciated more in the field when the men depend on each other
to survive. Between missions Paul and Kat take a moment to teach the young recruits.
Kat s experience will teach the recruits to recognize the type and size of shells by
the sound. As incoming artillery begins, soldiers cry out and run for cover. A young
recruit finds himself in Paul s chest while Paul is trying to calm him from crying and
shaking. The comradeship between the recruit and Paul shows how soldiers take care
of each other. Without any hesitation at all Paul consoles the recruit as if he was his
own son. Fellow comrades have an automatic brotherhood when there lives depend
one another.
Kat, the leader of the pack is also a father figure to Paul. One night Paul says to
Kat, We don t talk much, but I believe we have a more complete communion with
one another than even lovers have. This shows us how war can bring men together
in peace. During the roasting of the goose Kat s voice brings Paul peace and
reassurance. Toward the end of the book Kat is killed, and for Paul it is such a
horrible loss. The only thing helping Paul survive was the brotherhood of his friends.
With Kat dead that is no longer possible.
47. Drug Policies of the Four Major Sport Leagues Essay
Introduction
The four major sport leagues in the United States consist of the National Basketball
Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball
(MLB), and the National Hockey League (NHL). All of the leagues have some
similarities in their implemented drug policies, such as the need for testing athletes.
Although the policies have similarities, there are many differences within the
leagues, as well. Drug testing in professional sports has increased, due to the rise of
players using illegal substances and Major League Baseball currently has the best
drug testing program. Drug testing programs have become very complex and have
many unique legal aspects that these leagues must face.
Policy Similarities

The NFL suspends its players without pay for any use of illegal substances based
on the number of offenses and the suspensions are four games, eight games, and
one full season suspension (Dolich, 2013). Each league has improved its policies
in recent years, but the support for increased and better testing continues to grow.
The MLB can require players to provide blood samples and the NFL had talks of
taking blood samples during training camp in order to test for Human Growth
Hormone (HGH), but the NBA and NHL have not applied these procedures in their
programs (Calcaterra, 2013).
Best Drug Policy The policies and procedures for drug testing within the four
major sport leagues are changing rapidly, due to the rise of players using illegal
substances. Major League Baseball currently has the best drug testing program of
the major sport leagues. Many of the substances athletes are taking can only be
detected through blood testing. Major League Baseball is the only league that has
fully executed blood testing to detect and deter those whom are using, or wish to
use, HGH and other banned substances. Not only has Major League Baseball
applied blood testing at the elite level, it has also implemented it in Minor League
Baseball, as well (http://sports.espn.go.com). The league has taken a dominant stance
on stamping out all banned substances and the penalties for an athlete testing positive
are the most severe of any

In Kim Dovey s Becoming Places, she begins by introducing the concepts of place
and space. As Dovey distinguishes between the two concepts, she explains that
place tends to connect social and spatial, whereas space is simply concerned on the
physical space itself. In other words, as Dovey describes, while a spacehas physical
dimensions, intensity gives rise to the potency and primacy of place (Dovey, pg.
3). Dovey goes on to explain the general use of place in academic discourse and
how it tends to differ from the use of the concept in everyday life. From a
philosophical standpoint, place has emerged from the Greek topos, a concept which
stresses the inseparable nature of both place and being or existence. Moving forward

50. The Rocking Horse Winner by D.H. Lawrence Essay
With a household comes the responsibilities of maintaining a happy and stable
family. The duty of having a secure family involves financial security, which ensures
a household has enough to eat, stays properly nursed, and clothed. The level of
happiness relies on the dynamics of the family itself, such as how supportive and
attentive a familyis to one another, but often times happiness is blindsided by money.
Financial security and happiness can be confused and overshadowed by the
aspiration of money and consumerism. Families provide their household s financial
needs, but neglect the emotional aspects. The overpowering need for money takes a
toll on families. D.H Lawrence s short storyexplores the dynamics of money and its

The psychological effect, obsession, literally drives Paul insane. Money consumes his
young mind and overtakes him, leaving his newly rich family with the devastation of
a dead child. Although money can bring material items, it does not bring happiness,
instead is brings the family anxiety. Anxiety is described as, distress or uneasiness of
mind caused by fear of danger or misfortune (dictonary.com). The mother, Hester,
is described as anxious throughout the story, [Paul s] mother had sudden strange
seizures of uneasiness... sometimes for half an hour, she would feel a sudden
anxiety (Lawrence 47). The mother s desire for money is the cause of her mental
anxiety, and anxiety attacks. Even after receiving Paul s anonymous winning she
remains unsatisfied, making it evident that there is no end to the desire of money.
Hester s want for money brings her to state of depression. Depression is defined as,
a condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal (Dictionary.com). Leon
Lewis s critique on The Rocking Horse Winner , describes Hester s depression, She
herself is deeply troubled by what she feels is a hard little place at the center of her
being that prevents her from loving anybody. ( The Rocking Horse Winner ). The
consuming desire for money leads Hester to a state of depression that effects her
ability to love her family. Overall, the consuming desire for money causes
51. LGBT Group Reflection Report
When I first met Tabby, I wasn t sure if I was more struck by her bold sky blue hair
or by her huge smile as she shouted a greeting across the road. I vividly remember
her head sticking up from the other side of the car almost as soon as it had stopped,
greeting me as though I was an old friend. This meeting had arrived after four
months worth of emails and texts back and forth across the country, and I m not sure
who was more excited.
Tabby Besley is the sole founder of InsideOUT, a national organisation which works
with youth, whДЃnau, schools and communities to make Aotearoa a safer place for
all young people of minority genders and sexualities to live and be in, and she was
in Napier to run a workshop for Hawkes Bay youth, on running QSA s (Queer
Straight Alliance) and promoting awareness of LGBT+ issues within New Zealand s
schools. This workshop was attended by six different schools and the information that
came out was eye opening. Two male students from a private school described the
environment at their school, explaining physical fights and bullying occurring for
students just for looking gay .
While talking with Tabby I soon discovered that the portrayal of the LGBT+
community to everyone else is often quite warped and inaccurate. Unlike what many
seem to believe, such as student Josh from Havelock North High School stating only
around I think 8% is (sic) gay , earlier this year a survey released by GLAAD (Gay

52. Pliny s The Alexander Mosaic
The Alexander Mosaic is a Roman floor mosaic that dates from c. 100 B.C. It is
discovered in the city of Pompeii which was preserved in ash after the eruption of
Mount Vesuvius. It was found in the House of Faun, named after the bronze statue
of a faun found there. It is thought to be possibly based on a wall painting done in
315 B.C.E., Hellenistic Period by a Greek artist named Philoxenos of Eretria because
it matches a description of the painting written by Pliny.
The mosaic is approximately 2.72 by 5.13 meters (8 feet 11 inches high and 16 feet
and 10 inches) long. It is currently housed in the National Archaeological Museum
in Naples, Italy. It consisted of over one and a half million tesserae (From the
Greek word tesseres which means square .), or small pieces of colored stone and
glass, none larger than 4 mm, in four colors: white, yellow, red, and black. Several of
the colors seen in the mosaic are the natural color of the marble pieces. The
minuteness of the tesserae enables noticeably quality detail and painterly outcomes,
including noteworthy pics of Alexander and Darius.

Fear and Loathing On The Campaign Trail 72 was a book about a writer for the

were between the incumbent Republican, President Richard Nixon and the Senator
from South Dakota, George McGovern. The election of 1972 saw McGovern come
out of the democratic National Convention over SenatorsMuskie and Humphreybut
only to lose to the incumbent president Richard Nixon.
Hunter S. Thompson writes about the Election of 1972 from December 1971, before

In the October chapter, he calls the president a, drooling red eyed beast with the legs
of a man and the head of a giant hyena... heading toward Watergate. He then comes
back after this metaphor to say, Ah...nightmares, nightmares. But I was only
kidding. The president would never act tat weird. At least not during football
season. In these passages he uses a metaphor to show the president in a very
negative light and to stress on Nixon s negative connection with Watergate. His next
statement is a sarcastic phrase saying the president would never act this way during
football season. This sarcastic comment shows President Nixon as a savage beast
whose only real knowledge is in football. This style of writing is what made Hunter
Thompson, Gonzo Journalism, and this book very famous.
The book is a very opinionated story of the election of 1972. It follows all the
major political events leading up to elections like the primaries and the caucuses.
The chapters are all split up in months and chronicle the major events and outcomes
of the landmark events during each month. Along the way he includes many
interviews that he took and many conversations between many of the people
involved in the election. The book is a great insight to politics and gives a non
sugarcoated, non media altered view of politics. It talks about the griminess and
political tactics used by the political parties and the candidates

55. Police Brutality And The Civil Rights Of Citizens
Police Brutality, the use of excessive force commonly physical, but also in forms
such as: false arrest, racial profiling, surveillance abuse, sexual abuse, verbal
attacks and psychological intimidation, by a police officer. This is a ruthless act and
issue that continues to be a major problem for both people in law enforcement, but
majorly to the public and is life threatening. It is a saddening act that jeopardizes the
civil rights of citizens and the rights of people around the world. Policeofficers are
supposed to protect citizens and have more powers than the average citizen: they
have the power to arrest, seize property, and the use of deadly force if necessary.
Many officers abuse those powers. In doing so you would think they would be
prosecuted accordingly but Thousands of incidents of brutality go unreported each
year (Young Communist League). Police officers have now gotten above the law it
seems. Police corruption and perjury is common within the brutality. Also, police
brutalitya major issue and common in African Americans, people of the LBGT
community, people with disabilities and other minority groups in the society.
First and foremost police brutality is most common as racial profiling. Police
profiling against people with disabilities, race and sexuality. Brutality can be
thought as a deliberate action police undertake towards suspects of powerless social
groups. Homosexuals, racial minorities (Skolnick). Some officer s views of social

Donne and Milton are metaphysical poets writing in the 17th century. The Holy
Sonnets and Paradise Lost Book 1 and 2 by Donne and Milton respectively, focuses
on the theme of Religion. My analysis will constitute of the following poetic
techniques: personification, allegory and tone which I will use to show how both
poets are similar, or different and how both uses different styles of writing to
celebrate faith.
Personification is a technique used by Donne and Milton and it refers to something
general or abstract as if it were an individual. However, despite their similarity, both
poets have a different standpoint on death`s creation, its nature and its intricate link to
Religion. Death, in the Bible, is principally the result of Sin, ... Show more content on

Tone refers to the author`s attitude to the reader or subject matter. Both poets use
tone to express their deeper feelings or passion towards God and Religion. While
for Donne, it takes an emotional and at times even sexual turns, Milton is more
concerned about socio political issues and religious reforms. Donne as the I figure
engages in a conversation with God in his poem, and he intensifies the connection
with God in his angry, violent and rebellious tone for example when he says nor
yet canst thou kill me 4 His tone often grows commanding, Batter my heart, or even
sexual6 But I am bethrothed However, this close relationship is often problematic;
for example, he addresses God as dear Christ. As such, Donne, as a humanist,
depends on God , and simultaneously views religion or God as something attainable.
His tone also demonstrate his love for God, similar to the Anglican Doctrine of
Love for God Through his tone, aspects of the Doctrine of Contrition that is the act
of repentance of past sins and the complete surrender to God is noted. In contrast,
Milton distances himself from the narrative of the epic and his tone is most of the
times determined, rebellious and satirical, which is why his work was subject to
religious censorship. For him, Sin is the creation of Satan, and this gives repentance a
new dimension because all humans are prone to
