...THE BROADWAY CAFE BRINGING IT TO THE 21ST CENTURY 1 THE BROADWAY CAFE BRINGING IT TO THE 21ST CENTURY 2 Abstract I just recently inherited my grandfather's coffee shop called the Broadway Café. In this paper we are going to examine how to bring it up to the 21st century. To get a better understanding of how to bring the coffee shop into the 21st-century; we are going to talk about the history of coffee and how it got started, and what life must have been like in the 1950’s. We are also going to talk about running today's coffee shops with today's technology. Wi-Fi allows us to access the Internet, check our bank accounts, and read electronic books & magazines. Another piece of technology we're going to talk about is a Point of Sale or POS unit, which is an electronic cash register. THE BROADWAY CAFE BRINGING IT TO THE 21ST CENTURY 3 History Coffee supposedly started in Constantinople, Turkey. According to the International Coffee Organization: “The global spread of coffee growing and drinking began in the Horn of Africa, where, according to legend, coffee trees originated in the Ethiopian province of Kaffa. It is recorded that the fruit of the plant, known as coffee cherries, was eaten by slaves taken from present day Sudan into Yemen and Arabia through the great port of its day, Mocha. Coffee was certainly being cultivated in Yemen by the 15th century and probably much earlier. In an attempt to prevent its cultivation elsewhere, the Arabs imposed...

...Women throughout United States history have had fewer rights than men. Women were often viewed by men as inferior and weak. Women were once viewed as a gender that only should do manual labor such as house cleaning, cooking and taking care of children. Men did things that required heavy manual labor such as building a barn, plowing fields or stacking hay. For a time men also viewed women as less educated and less capable of being educated. Higher education or more formal education was not considered as important for women and almost expected for men. It was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that a large population of women began to obtain formal undergraduate degrees ("Women's History in America", 1994-1995). By the mid 1980’s women were obtaining approximately 49 percent of all undergraduate degrees, 49 percent of all master degrees and about 33 percent of all doctoral degrees. Bu 1985 it is estimated that approximately 53 percent of all college students were women. In 1890 women comprised about 5 percent of doctors in the United States of America. By the year 1980 about 17 percent of doctors in the United States were women. Throughout American history women have typically not held decision making jobs and were paid on average about 32 to 45 percent less than men for the same jobs. Women in the United States today have almost equal opportunities for jobs or professions than men do. Women now comprise a large percentage of the U.S. workforce and...

Last accessed 10th September 2015 Through the film, a division of young adults received a personality and individualism never before represented onscreen, establishing their place within their own unique cultural identity, language, and social rituals, as represented by Ray’s picture and in those which followed to use his film as a benchmark. Ray’s picture was the first to “get” 1950s adolescents with all their conflicts, oblivious parents, sexual confusion, social anxiety, and alienation Keith Grant, B. (2003). Youth In Film History. In: Film Genre Reader, Volume 3. Texas: Texas: University Of Texas Press. 499. However. Hollywood did not suddenly bank on hedonistic teen roles in the early 1950’s: their process of introducing the post-war teenager was careful if not apprehensive, as they gradually exaggerated the ephebiphobia -fear of teenagers- that was seeping into popular culture and politics. After a few notable “clean teen” performances in the 1940’s by Jeanne Crain in Margie (1946) and Elizabeth Taylor in Little Women (1949), the fifties teen...

Strict and simple whatever I say goes do what your suppose to do and we have no problems, on the other hand you have those who those cater to their child a lot and lastly the parents who don’t care and just leave them with grandma and grandpa abounding the child.

...Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Regan In today’s extremely volatile political climate it has become important for us to view the past to see what great men have accomplished during hard times. President Abraham Lincoln and President Ronald Reagan are two men who I believe were two of the most influential people in the world. While these two men shared many similarities in their life, presidency, and influence, they were also different in many ways. They both achieved what many believed to be the impossible. Maybe by looking at the past and these two great men, we can learn about perseverance in hard times. President Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Hodgenville, Kentucky. He spent most of his early childhood years on a farm his parents owned. His father was one of the richest men in the area. In 1816, his father lost the family farm in a court decision and the family moved to Indiana. He spent all of his early years in a region of the United States in non-slave states. When he left home he went to New Orleans, Louisiana and saw slavery for himself first hand. He joined the militia in 1832 and served three months as a Captain during the Black Hawk War. President Ronald Regan was born February 6, 1911 in Tampico, Illinois. Unlike President Lincoln, President Reagan spent his early childhood in many cities away from the farms. His father was a salesman and moved the family numerous times. President Reagan attended Eureka College where he was involved...

...Disney’s iconic movies play an integral role in shaping countless childhoods, and their princess movies, spanning from 1934’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Moana in 2016, are widely popular, particularly among young American girls. Consequently, the sexist messages of Disney princess movies both pre and post the 1960s Women's Liberation Movement are extremely present in today’s society. Before the Women's Liberation Movement, films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty portrayed messages that reflected women’s confined role in society during the mid-1900s. These princesses, while playing significant speaking roles, were not only dependent on men but the epitome of their life was marriage but the focus...

...Gender ideology helps determine masculinity and femininity even in sports. Sports have become a major source of community for many people, but specifically for men. They tend to be more masculine in nature except for events like figure skating and gymnastics. Therefore, men seem to take control and possession of the sports world. Women were not even involved in sports in the later 1960’s and before that. However, since they have been getting more sports programs and have become more involved in physical activities, women have had to deal with slightly more adversity than the men. There have been some people who believe women should not play sports. Some think in the two-sex system meaning that men should only play in specific sports and women...

...In the screenplay “Fences,” written by August Wilson, he sheds light on important issues such as racism an African American family, the Maxsons. The play is set in the 1950’s where racism was still at its highest. Although during this time sports teams were becoming integrated, minorities were still not considered equal, thus making the fight for equality tiresome. In the article titled, “Racial Segregation: 1950s and Today,” published by Rollins College, elaborates how racism affected daily life during the 1950’s and compares it to today’s society. In Jay Plum’s article entitled, “Blues, History, and The Dramaturgy of August Wilson,” recaps on Wilson’s plays which contain overlapping themes relating to the struggles African Americans faced with discrimination. The message behind Wilson’s work along with the results of what being on the receiving side of racial inequality are important because…...

...Everyone has flaws. Impatient. Stubborn. Perfectionist. Pessimistic. Dubious. Fixation. Everyone experiences the flaw of prejudice. It is one problem that has never be solved, and it is still a problem today. Prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. Prejudice still exists among us just like it did in the 1950’s. There have been many events where prejudice had an influence on common society and one of those events was the police brutality incidents that happened just a couple of months ago. Many individuals today are blind to prejudice, and it can happen if someone does it to them or they do it to themselves. Individuals in the past were blind to prejudice as well. The holocaust is one example. Bad...

...Throughout time, historians have debated the cause or causes of the change in cultural and social behavior of human beings. The emergence of the youth counter-culture in the 1950’s is no exception. Jody Pennington and J. Ronald Oakley examine the change in the social behavior of the post World War II generation and discuss whether Rock and Roll was the cause of the dramatic behavioral changes that led teenagers astray from the conservative values of the older generation. While both Pennington and Oakley agree on some of the factors that that led to the sweeping changes in teenage behavior during this time, they differ on the conclusion of whether Rock and Roll was the culprit and whether teenage morals and values truly shifted from their conservative upbringing during this time. Pennington’s essay offers a more unbiased, balanced, substantive and consistent assessment that supports the conclusion that Rock and Roll was indeed the accelerant that ignited 1950s youth and encouraged them to adopt Rock and Roll’s values of rebellion, provocative sexual expression and racial-mixing....

...trusting of the “police” because essentially they were neighbors looking out for one another so there was a general harmony within the community. Sometime during the early part of 20th century formal police agencies were created in the United States with this came the breakdown of interaction between different communities and police for instance, minorities and the gay community. Throughout this country history, there has always been discontentment and strife between the minority communities and law enforcement in the United States which is still an imperative issue today. This problem started with execution of slave patrols by the legislature when they passed An Act for Establishing and Regulating of Patrols. Which were a group of white men not exceeding seven who were hired to prevent slave insurrection, enforce and discipline slaves; they policed slaves on plantations and hunted down fugitive slaves. Slave patrols played an instrumental role in enforcing existing laws of southern societies and operated until slavery was abolished with the loss of the confederacy. Once the civil war ended, the confederate states enacted “black codes” which was designed to restrict freed blacks activity and the police were the ones...

...The Golden Age of Comics was just that, the development and birth of a new age that steered the characters and genera’s of a decade and beyond. While the exact start and end of the Golden Ages is debatable, its existence spanned approximately a twenty-year period from the mid to late 1930’s and into the mid to late 1950’s. Essences of the Golden Age lingered in the early 1960’s but the tides by this time were changing rapidly and the free forming ideas as well as the collaborations of this dynamic period had reached their peak. At the dawn of the Golden Age of Comics publishing industries began to develop cartoon booklets as a marketing ploy. Most notable in this endeavor was Eastern Color Printing Company and two of its employees,...

...The History of the Navy SEAL’s Cory Mooney Comp 1 November 16, 2012 Minnis Abstract Today’s SEAL’s heritage, missions, capabilities, and combat lessons-learned from daring groups that no longer exist, were important to Allied Victory’s in World War II and the Korean conflict. These groups were the Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDU’s), and Navy Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT’s). These groups trained in the early 1940’s and saw combat in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific, now disbanded after World War II. The UDT’s were used again and expanded quickly for the Korean War in 1950. Exercising ingenuity and courage; these special maritime units executed, with relatively few casualties, many of the missions, tactics, techniques and procedures that SEAL’s still perform today. The History of the Navy SEAL’s The history of the US Navy SEAL’s dates back to World War II and the numerous units that were created to fill specific military needs. Amphibious landings were still a new operation and new tactics had to be written with every operation. New vehicles were developed to get soldiers to shore quickly and efficiently, yet there were still obstacles that could cause failure of a landing. The enemy could fortify a beach with obstacles which could tear out the hull of an approaching boat and sink it; drowning its men and preventing the approach for other boats. Underwater obstacles could also be natural, such as coral or sandbars, completely uncharted, and changing daily...

...as having low standards in life versus men having standards and rights. Women have been fighting for equality for decades, and believe they can do the things that men can. Women only had one another to rely on and provide themselves they can do just as much work. They have fought to try to end discrimination with jobs and economic justice. In the 19th century time period is what started changing for women; they begin to fight for equal rights. In the 20th century there were a few laws that passed stating that women should be treated the same and have the same rights just like any other gender, race, and sex. In today’s society, women are more efficient than before. Women are in office contributing to running for office, government positions and can run for President. There are some that are fighter fighters, police officers and in the military that are putting their life on the line to protect their country as well as other’s. In today society, in order to pay bills, put food on the table, and etc you need both men and women working in order maintain a household. As for women things have changed over the years, where women stay home cook, clean, took care of the children and house while the men work and women could not. I believe women having equal rights were one of the best decisions and better for this country. When it comes to concepts or constructions of masculinity and feminity that I have seen society and the media are that men should be strong at all times. They should...
