The Descent

Throughout Mangione’s Mount Allegro, descent relations as primary been depicted as the inheritance of cultural heritage or background. In di Donato’s Christ in Concrete, however, descent and consent relations are also represented as the continuity between father and son, as Paul decides to become a bricklayer like his father after Geremio’s death. Throughout Paul’s first conversation with Nazone, di Donato repeats the idea of Paul inheriting his father’s skills in bricklaying, concluding that…

Descent and Kinship in Hmong and Minangkabau Culture Kinship and Descent patterns within a society provide a strong base from which other aspects of a culture can branch. How a family is run, whether it be matrilineal, patrilineal, or neither can provide insight to a societies basic political processes and social norms. These factors decide the familial roles within a community, and determine who holds power within the family, tribe, and nation. As far as matriliny goes, the Minangkabau are a…

Little is known about my mother's family, but we do know that my maternal grandmother's family is Pashtun, which is one of the many Afghan tribes that have had a large influence on Afghan culture.

representation of minorities has not changed enough to see a well-rounded representation of ethnicities in special education. More so, the authors have seen a reduction in students of African descent with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). This is not surprising, as diagnosis of ID in students with African descent cannot occur. The reduction comes from the lack of ability to label students rather than the diagnosis being more culturally sensitive to minority students. Additionally, the lack of…

Looking back at human existence, it is easy to let your mind wander off in awe of all of the possibilities that evolution entails. In fact, no one was more curious about evolution than Charles Darwin. His theory explaining evolution of diverse living organisms and the links that he found between each one is truly astonishing and has had an impact on other scientific researchers and their studies for years. Anyone who is interested in natural sciences would know how intriguing biological change…

specifically persecuted four groups of people, or racial “others”: the Jews, the Gypsies, people of African descent, and the disabled. Hitler’s decision to persecute who he did was obviously caused by racism, but according to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, those four groups had one thing in common: their biology. The main reason the Jews, the Gypsies, people of African descent, and the disabled were viewed as “the other” in Hitler’s racial state was because of the popular race…

the pupils of African descent” than those of caucasian descent(United). These schools were undisputedly unequal in every way, shape, and form. As shown in Richard Wright’s Black Boy, an autobiography of a black man growing up in the Jim Crow South, schools for those of African American descent often employed unqualified teachers and corrupt administrators, and funding for these schools were miniscule compared to that of schools created for solely those of Caucasian descent(Wright). An even more…

The environment temperature during the lander survival was 470°C and a pressure of 94 Earth atmospheres (Ivankov, NASA Archive). The data were transmitted to the bus from the descent vehicle while it acted as a data relay as it passed by Venus (Ivankov, NASA Archive) in a heliocentric orbit (Ksanfomality, 2013). Figure 2. Venera 14 Lander images of the surface of Venus at 13 S, 310 E on 5 March 1982. Both images show part of…

“We did not quit fighting, because the determination [that] 'They're gonna pay' was so high. It was felt by everyone in this country, whether they were old people or young people, men or women, whether they were of British descent or African descent or Norwegian descent—wherever they came from, that determination that 'We're never going to let this happen. And we're going to come back, whatever the price”. (“World War II Gave Birth to "American Spirit,") The attack on Pearl Harbor was not what…
