Soryu as the submarine for the RAN. Is the Soryu as good as the Collins class let alone a new generation submarine? It would take a mountain of modifications to make this boat suitable for RAN purposes. Soryu’s range is 6000 kilometres at 6.5 knots—Collins is 9000 kilometres at 10 knots. The Japanese boat carries one fewer diesel generator than Collins, which means longer snorting times and that means more vulnerability. Collins has US based combat systems fully integrated and Soryu does…

I think that the author R.J. Palacio chose the song Beautiful Things for the Miranda section because Miranda alway say that Auggie is beautiful and is like a brother to her. I think that because on page 165 it says “ I've known Auggie since I was six years old. I've watched him grow up. I've played with him.

Systems of Privilege and Inequality With an over arching theme of oppression, chapter two seeks to explore the different intersections of privilege, or lack thereof, as well at the effects in current society. “Towards a New Vision” by Patricia Hill Collin, “White Privilege and Male Privilege” by Peggy McIntosh, and “There is No Hierarchy of Oppression”, by Audre Lord all sought to end the belief that oppression only happens to one group of people and that oppression should be ranked.…

It is very interesting as it focuses on both the differences and similarities of African American women from different places in time and how these things all tie into each other to result in a common motivation. Authors like Patricia Hill Collins and Tracey Reynolds break down this idea of Black feminist standpoint in ways that make it simplest to understand, highlighting things like individuality and collectivity, identity, and more; but in order to really understand Black feminist…

validation process of arriving at that truth. I need to ask how I know? What does it mean to say something is true and what is the genesis of that truth? For the purpose of this essay, I will discuss the epistemologies of Plato’s and Patricia Hill Collins to include the validation process, the dimensions by which knowledge is gained, and the implications for education.
