These plans have been proposed by the late President, Abraham Lincoln, President Andrew Johnson, and leader of the Radical Republican faction of the Republican party, Thaddeus Stevens.

Redstockings was a radical feminist movement started in the 1960s. In their proclamation, “Redstockings Manifesto,” women of the Redstockings movement call for women to realize and fight against the oppression of their class, and call on men to assist them in not only making men and women equal, but also releasing women from the male’s control. To begin, the Redstockings indicate that the oppression of women is not only present in the areas of employment and politics. Women are only viewed as…

Revolutions,” which discusses the impact of second wave feminism on attitudes about women and sexuality. It discusses lesbianism in the context of oppression at the hands of heterosexual feminist groups and articulates the rise of lesbianism as a radical feminist political stance in the 1960s and 1970s, not just a sexual orientation. In this chapter, D’Emilio and Freedman rely on scholarly monographs about political lesbianism and the origins of second wave feminism, such as Myron…

slow down functions performed in the body. Coming fourth in the subcategories is the free radical theory. This states that free radicals cripple cellular elements. As those elements are damaged, the cell cannot keep functioning, and when this continues to happen in other cells, entire organs eventually become incapable of proper function. Jin notes that while a study done on rodents, in which free radicals were annihilated and a longer mean lifespan occurred, supports this theory, other…

Nations are not the only entities capable of providing aid, and much of the individual work done in foreign countries comes from the private sector of society. Military aid will almost always require a government presence, but smaller expeditions, such as volunteers sent to teach, or distribute medicine, or provide service, act independently from the government. These organizations often provide a large amount of disaster relief as well, collecting and distributing donations of food, clean water…

Open Development 1. What are the main challenges to aid effectiveness, and how does open data address these challenges? The main challenges to aid effectiveness are high complexity, enormous transaction costs, lack of strategic and holistic approaches, and lack of country ownership. High complexity involves the coordination between numerous international aid agencies, and within those aid agencies. The United States, for example, has been said to have contradictory, as well as competing,…

Pectin yield was determined as weight of dry pectin against the weight of initial residues multiplied by 100%. Y=100(P/Bi) Where Y is the extracted pectin yield (%), P is the amount of extracted pectin in grams and Bi is the initial amount of sweet potato residues used to extract pectin. Equivalent weight and Degree of methoxylation The equivalent weight was determined according to the method by Barretina et al., (Barretina et al. 2012). 0.25g pectin was wetted with 5ml ethanol and topped…

Corporate transparency Opening case study: Apple In the early 1970s, Xerox developed world-changing computer technology, as well as the mouse and the graphical user interface. (Modern GUIs include Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.) One of the devices was called the Xerox Alto, a desktop personal computer that Xerox never concerned to market. A decade later, several Apple employees, including Steve Jobs, visited the Xerox PARC research and development capability for three days in exchange for $1…

Kent Hodgson’s “magnificent seven” chart identifies seven general moral principles that help managers make ethical decisions (Krietner, 2013). My research on Whole Foods has shown all seven of Hodgson’s principles at work. In fact, it is reasonable to imagine these principles working in co-founder John Mackey’s visions when he created his original business model (Kowitt, 2014). Running a conscious capitalist and corporate socially responsible company such as Whole Foods relies on making sound,…
