The myth of rebirth is prevalent in agricultural societies from Africa to Asia based on the observation of the cycle of growth. But Pecola’s story is a deviation of this myth since she does not encounter a renewal but deterioration. While remaining unfocused, Morrison’s music moves from the mourner’s bench to a ‘jook’ joint and then to an uptown club in the city. But her central focus is the Black community. The Bluest Eye presents the fundamental pattern of Morrison’s early novels: an isolated…

As the US Fish and wildlife Service Manager my responsibility is two fold: conserve and recover species listed as threatened and endangered and… In 1990 the Northern Spotted Owl was listed as a threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Since then the rate of loss of habitat has declined. Even so valuable old growth forest is lost to the spotted owls. Previously the decline of the spotted owl population has been attributed to timber harvesting. However, recently the expansion of the Barred owl…

As a visual device, the project’s word web expands the vocabulary involved with CRT and CRA. The six groups describe key points to show how words, beliefs, actions, and decisions are related. When educators develop as culturally responsive teaching, they must have the ability to connect words to implement ideas. The word groups explain the: (a) seven forms of biases; (b) learning styles dimensional; (c) multidimensional needs of students; (d) 3 C’s theme; (e) qualitative attributes of culturally…

The Beat Generation was heavily influenced by the events of World War II. Jack Kerouac was the original beatnik, with William S. Burroughs, and Charles Bukowski following him. Although other authors built upon Kerouac's work they highly differ in their styles. Beatnik literature reflects the rebellious inner self from the view of post World War II teenagers. The beats also tend to be very experimental with their lives and writing styles. Many believe that "the master narratives strangely seem…

With all this talk of refugees in the news, perhaps knowing the definition of what a refugee actually is would be useful. The 1951 Refugee Convention defines a refugee as, “[A]ny person who: owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country.”…

Mass Media, "is a message consumed by a large number of individuals" (Powerpoint Week 1) While, politics, is known as "the authoritative allocation of society 's values. (Easton)" (Powerpoint week 1) or "the process of determining "who gets what, when, and how. (Lasswell)" (Powerpoint week 1) Years ago both, mass media and politics it appeared, to be more separate from each other. It seemed like the political side did not want to get involved with the media or was still trying to figure out what…

One of the four sources of threat, aggregate power, is a component of the realist view that the greater a state’s resources or capabilities, the greater threat they pose to other nations. Therefore, the more missiles, ships, and nuclear weapons the Soviets possessed, the more they threatened the United States. This increased the probability of the American misperception, as the US believed the Soviets to be more powerful than they actually were. The help support their effort to appear superior…

I want to clarify when I say the Canadian criminal justice system ‘punishes’ rather than helps the mentally ill I do not wholly mean directly punishes the mentally ill. I am going to talk about how lack of resources and proposed solutions indirectly punishes the mentally ill. When a mentally ill person gets involved with the criminal justice system there is some expectation that the criminal justice system will have ideas and resources on how to approach a situation with a mentally ill person.…
