American muscle meets Italian beauty: an all-time-great combination. Ford wanted a mid-engined sports car to sell in its Mercury showrooms and the De Tomaso Pantera was the result of a partnership between Henry Ford and Alejandro de Tomaso, an Argentinian small-time producer of exotic sports and racing cars. Ford engineers took a look at the Mangusta, De Tomaso’s previous offering, and thought its backbone chassis was too weak. So Detroit-born car designer Tom Tjaarda, who had just started…

The Playground Negotiation is a true to life case that takes place in Ithaca, New York. There are two officials, one from the volunteer involvement and the other in support of the Parks and Recreation Department both groups make up the Ithaca Special Projects Task Force. They have both been elected to decide on whether to fund a playground for the neighborhood. Whether they decide to build a playground or not, this task force is responsible of whether to fund the playground or choose a later…

Glassner states, “ A host of studies indicate that by downplaying the suffering of victims and their family’s the media does a disservice to minority neighborhoods where those victims live” (112). This generates negative attention towards minority groups who seem to get blamed for all negative problems happening in society. The shift into blaming minorities as the cause for…

Movies are beautiful pieces of moving art that bring people together, regardless of gender, age, or skin color. The vast majority of these masterpieces just happen to be made by straight, white, rich, males over the age of forty. Hollywood’s diversity problem is allowing for an unbalanced ratio of women in the industry, as well as inaccurate minority representation, and the use of white actors for a racially ambiguous role. The gender discrepancy in the film industry, to no one person's…

describe the ancient Greeks and Romans. Even though Anderson’s “imagined communities” is not directly parallel in the ancient world, it is at least applicable as a way of getting at the constructed nature of identity in terms of defining “in” and “out” groups. [MAYBE MOVE TO THE CHAPTER WITH ANTHONY…

does not tell the whole story. Aside from ACT UP’s insider vs. outsider dynamic, we can also analyze another form of segmentation that is otherwise regarded as one of the groups’ major strengths, the formation of “affinity groups” (00:22). United in Anger does acknowledge the somewhat discordant agendas and priorities that each group supported, but minimizes the disparity between the support each received. For example, there were many activists solely concerned with the short-term “drugs into…

There are a few reasons why people support affirmative action. First off they wish to switch the negative impacts brought on to the people by years of ¨separation¨of origins . They also want to verify minorities are being represented in schools and in the workforce they want all Americans to receive a fair chance at a job. One thing they do to make it a bit easier for people to get a job is to putting reachable requirements for those of whom want to apply for a job of a manager or supervisor.…

Fig. 2 show the protons nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) of HBA and HBA-BMF. In Fig. 2a,terminal methyl group present in fatty acid chain show the peak at around δ = 0.9 ppm.31 The proton of −CH2− groups of the fatty acid backbone and terminal methyl group attached proton show the peak between δ =1.20−1.59 ppm.30 The peak at δ = 5.4 ppm is attributed to the protons attached to the olefinic carbon atom (−CH=CH−) of fatty acid,28 this peak provides the evidence of the presence of fatty acid…

Many smaller car dealerships can't afford brand-new cars, so in order to stay afloat, they rely on older used cars to sell. The Cash for Clunkers program caused many of the cars that these dealerships depend on to be destroyed and sold for scrap. The program got rid of up to 750,000 used vehicles, and many of these cars were still functioning. The destruction of these cars caused the supply of these still useful vehicles to drop significantly. Because the supply is has gotten lower, and the…

Is the Age of Responsibility More Than a Birthday? How many times have you been told that you were not old enough to do something? Or maybe you are expected to act like an adult, but you are sometimes treated like a child. Many teenagers are experiencing this same frustration. Most people around the world have already accepted that eighteen is the age in which teenagers technically become adults. However, these ‘adults’ are not even allowed to drink alcohol for another three years. Why is that…
