"Gospel is first and foremost a direct descendent of spirituals. What Thomas Dorsey and his friends kept as the defining attributes of gospel music - the call-and-response format, ample room for improvisation, rhythm, frequent use of the flatted seventh and third in melodies - remain true even today. The elements introduced by later musical forms, such as close harmonies, a sense of professionalism , showmanship, the regular use of an AAB rhyming scheme, and a pronounce beat all endure, but are…

Within the prison system, many different nuances should be understood and should be correctly represented in mass media culture, specifically about the female prison system. Through reviewing critical readings of female prison systems in addition to carefully analyzing three consecutive episodes of Orange Is The New Black, looking at the ordeals of an inmate that couldn’t fit in, to finding herself being protected by a clique of neutral inmates, the necessity of food as it brings social…

different and greater amount of Money to M. The first process he presents is C–M–C, whose result “is, so far as concerns the objects themselves, C–C, the exchange of one commodity for another” (Capital, 115). According to Marx, the original intent of barter was trading one commodity for another: C–C. When money came into play, it served as a middleman of sorts in this process: C–M–C. Money allowed for a greater amount of trades to occur in that it was universally desired and universally accepted…

It is finished. When Jesus spoke these words, he was speaking of the fulfillment of the scriptures, the inauguration of the Kingdom redemption, and the kick off to the new exodus. He was the perfect, sinless, blameless lamb crucified to absorb all evil, to wipe away the wrongdoing of human rebellion and confirm God’s signing of the new covenant. God’s ultimate rescue by sacrifice. His death represented the cleansing of the temple, defeating the kingdom of darkness, and taking our punishment of…

In the period between 1870 and 1940, an amazing thing happened, new inventions started coming out of nowhere, people started becoming faster and better at everything they did. Trips that would usually take weeks or months turned into hours. Moving thousands of tons of material suddenly became walks in the park. Suddenly there was light in the middle of night, there was medicine, higher buildings, better bridges and roads. Talking to someone across the world was becoming as easy as walking to…

How does my language affect my connection to my culture and would a cultural anthropologist be able to use sociolinguistics to determine who I am and where I came from? Does my choice of spoken communication or written words, give an accurate description of my present life and a glimpse of my ancestry? Texas was the state that my most recent ancestors, on my mother's side, called home. We did not leave Texas until I was approximately 2 years old. While American English is my native tongue, for…

Businesses use email to connect with consumers, promote their brand, and sell their products.

The second myth is that email marketing has a 4300% ROI for the average business. These two myths are dangerous for small…

Survivalists: An American subculture The presence of survivalists or preppers as an American subculture can be traced back as early as the 1930’s. During World War II, as new homes and buildings were constructed, builders were adding bomb shelters to their structures. Occupants would then keep these bomb shelters or bunkers stocked in case of Nazi attacks. Advancing to the 1960’s and 1970’s, survivalist intentions changed due to differing circumstances. Preppers of this period were mainly…

invisible hand to show the optimum way of producing goods and the long run result. Todd also shows how smith wanted to use the government in a useful way ‘Smith recommend public education as a remedy for public dullness’ .
