Bimba Research Paper

Decent Essays
For the longest time in history, it has been understood that science and religion have an unusual relationship. A relationship in which controversy is an expectation and a reality. Ever since the dawn of man, some form of religion or animism has existed and each of those religions or tribes has their own spin on how the universe was formed. In Africa, there is a tribe known as the Boshongo people and they believe that there was only water, their God Bumba, and darkness in the beginning. Bumba later starts to suffer from a severe stomach ache, resulting in the sun being thrown up by Bumba. The sun that was thrown up eventually dried up a portion of the water leaving the land in its place. Even after throwing up the sun, Bumba was still in constant

    Ten years ago summers for the children of Bushwick promised many things. Some things nostalgic; Puerto Rican Day parades, celebrations of American and Dominican Independence days, cookouts on the sidewalk, people watching on the once-deteriorating stoops, hip hop pulsing through passing car’s speakers, cherry-flavored piraguas, bathing in the refreshing cold water spewing from open fire hydrants. Some things, such as rampant gang violence and the sounds of police helicopters circling the neighborhood, are not as favorably remembered. However negative the image of the barrio may be, the Latino community undoubtedly carved their culture deep into these spaces. The sense of neighborhood that the predominantly Latino population created is in the…

    National Junior Honor Society is a great opportunity for me, and is an organization that I really hope to be in. I love doing service not because I am forced to, but I get to be with my friends and is also a way for me to give back to the community. I love helping the needy and have participated in countless activities. For example, I was a part of a group that put together care kits for the homeless, picked up trash at a park, and created blankets for the needy. Being in NJHS will give me a chance to find even more ways to do more service and become a leader.…

    Although the internet has played a significant role in the feminist movement, personally I do not believe we are in a fourth wave of feminism. The utilization of the internet during the feminist movement is enough to emphasize the Third Wave of feminism but not enough to transition society from it into a new wave. During the Third Wave of Feminism, feminists have encouraged acceptance of people regardless of their gender and race as well as encouraged the participation to end the objectification of women and double standards. In one effort to counter double standards, the organization known as, #BanBossy works to empower women and girls to achieve their ambitions without fear of being called “bossy”. Seeing as #BanBossy is considered a Third…

    The All American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) was founded by Philip K. Wrigley during World War II. Over six hundred women from around the United States played in this league while their loved ones fought in the war, earning them money and them being able to play the game they love. Several Major League executives created the AAGPBL to help them try to keep baseball in the publics eye. The AAGPBL helped bring these executives money to keep their stadiums open to the public so when their men came back from war they would still have stadiums to play in.
