period was a difficult time in American history for women. White women and African American women faced multiple challenges and social stereotypes that bonded them together and divided them. These Social ideals followed them through marriage, the bearing of children, and the raising of children. Women in the South during the antebellum times were idolized for their importance in society. These views though, brought women together and divided them in a few ways. During this time marriage and…

Poverty and homelessness put people through a very tough situation. Whether morality of their decisions begins to play a smaller role in their lives. When surviving through the night, becomes their only focus for the day. Desperate times call for desperate measures, crime seems to be the only answer. According to the city data, one-fifth of all homeless people have committed a crime to get off the streets. To me, poverty is like homelessness, I compare poverty to people who work on a low pay…

catalytic performance of chiral oligoEG 1,[7] the ether chain length (Entries 1–3) as well as suitable acidity of the phenolic protons (Entry 2 vs. Entries 4 and 5) are critical for the catalytic performance in this reaction. Consistently, catalyst 1b bearing iodine atom at the 3 and 3′ positions of the binaphthyl scaffold showed the best results in terms of catalytic activity (70% yield) and enantioselectivity (98% ee) (Entry 2, Table 1). In further experiments using (R)-1b as the optimal…

Bearing this in mind, it is highly irrational to carry out executions under capital punishments. Death penalty is much more expensive than keeping a criminal under life without parole. This can be judged by the fact that with 11 executions spread over 27…

In America, there is a growing perception that guns are: they are harmful, they kill, and they commit crimes, and so most guns should be banned. But, how can a gun kill or commit crimes; it is not a living thing, it is a tool. With the use of guns, America has grown to be a strong and independent country throughout history. The push to ban guns will only keep guns away from law abiding citizens since criminals, by nature, do not follow laws and respect the gun free zones. The banning of guns in…

Realism argues that Nazi Germany started war because it can. Economic structuralism argues that interstate conflict is due to states’ economic necessities and expansion. The need for raw materials and labor causes war. For example, Japanese expansion into Southeast Asia was due to natural resources. Liberalism…

structural inequalities in health that people face, and the fact that they are nearly always coming “from above” (Farmer, 48). Split into two distinct sections, ‘Bearing Witness’ and ‘One Physicians Perspective on Human Rights’, Farmer uses these to provide both context for his argument and theory-backed, solution based ideas for moving forward. Bearing Witness explores the stark contrast between what he actually experienced while working and observing in various places with the NGO he…

Among these are the former Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley. There are stars representing corporations, such as Victoria’s Secret and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Even the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon has a star bearing the names of the three astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Michael Collins and the date of the first moon landing. Johnny Grant, the “Honorary Mayor of Hollywood,” acknowledged, that classifying the first Moon landing, as a television…

Throughout each of the narratives we’ve read, all of them help to put in perspective the condition of slavery, but Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs, was able to delve deeper into that condition by giving a portrayal of life of someone who was not only a slave, but a black woman living under slavery. Her story had many turning points, upward struggles, downward spirals, and eventual triumphs, but her greatest triumph was over her master. Her first act of true defiance…

lie? These biblical accounts were written as historical biographies to prove the trustworthiness of the apostles’ words and their accounts of Jesus. Together each Gospel gives an accurate account of the historic life of Jesus, while individually “bearing witness to the same Jesus (unity) but viewing him from unique perspectives (diversity)” providing “special insight into who he is and what he accomplished” (Strauss, 2011, p. 2132). By providing the reader with four different yet strikingly…
