This course was something I thought would be of a big interest for me personally. Being a communications major I have taken the same basic classes for two and a half years now. During my freshman year I took an introductory class about African American history and thought this would be something that would draw my attention. African Americans in the history of our country have been put down for far to long starting from the time of slavery up until basically now where we are still seeing race…

was and will always be an election to remember. African American Senator Democrat Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States on November 4, 2008; after defeating Republican candidate John McCain. Since that day he has impacted the Critical Race Theory in numerous ways. In a country, where minorities were only represented for ten percent of the senate and house of representative, President Obama election was more than history. He became the voice that African Americans and…

authorization bill drafted by the Republican majority of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology proposes to slash NASA 's funding to $16.6 billion for 2014, $300 million less than it received in 2013, and $1.1 billion less than President Obama requested for NASA in 2014.

To be an effective leader we need to understand our own style of leadership. My leadership style is transformational. A transformational leader is enthusiastic, innovative, charismatic, and serves as a mentor for subordinates (Deluga & Sauza, 1991). In this essay will discuss how characteristics of transformational can be applied in my workplace. I am surprised to find my assessment in this style, I feel that I my leadership style is procedural yet the results show I’m quite the opposite.…

not always as beautiful as one might imagine. During my deployment to the Republic of Korea, I had first-hand experience with the repugnance of human trafficking. At the time, President Lee Myung-bak held a press conference with President Barrack Obama to discuss the foreign security policies implemented against the Democratic People 's Republic of Korea. My unit was ordered to Yongsan Garrison where we provided secondary security. The conference concluded without any incidents and I was…

Education and healthcare are two of the major factors in the African American community. African American children are not receiving quality healthcare and education because of the location of each. In the late 1950s education was not valued by the government for African Americans because of segregation. The difference in classrooms was astounding which shows the significance of how education was not an equal effort for African Americans and whites. Low wages and taxes are important in certain…

1.) To be an American is a privilege, it’s a true blessing to be able to live in the United States of America. Being an American is being free, being able to live the life you want. Marrying the person you want, choosing your career path, and getting an education to become the best you can be. Being an American lets you practice whatever religion you want. Doesn’t matter what color nor what culture you came from everyone is treated equally. Francis Scott Key wrote ‘The Star-Spangled Banner”…
