...Biography of Andrew Jackson Young Jr. Who was Andrew Young Jr.? Most people immediately associate him with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson and the Civil Rights Movement. I chose to write about Andrew Young because of his strong feelings about the rights of black Americans. He felt that everyone, black or white, should have equal rights. Andrew fought along the side of Martin Luther King, Jr. and continued the work after King's death. The Civil Rights Movement required many dedicated and determined souls. Andrew Young, like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of peace who believed in using love vice hate to settle disagreements. He accomplished many wonderful things to help Martin Luther King's Dream live on. Andrew Jackson Young Jr. was born March 12, 1932, in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the depths of the Great Depression and Jim Crow segregation. His grandfather had been a successful businessman who had operated a drugstore, a pool hall, and a saloon. His father, Andrew Young Sr. was a dentist and his mother Daisy Fuller Young was a school teacher. The Young’s were among the elite of the city’s black population, which was largely poor and uneducated. Dr. Young Sr. could have afforded to live in a well-to-do white neighborhood, but no one would sell to him.(African American pg 104) .His parents were always very supportive of Andrew and his brother Walter. His parents always taught them the importance of religion and education and to treat others with respect...

...Coca-Cola Case Study: An Ethics Incident Dr. Wilhelmina Ford Dr. Robert Stephens Dr. Linda Cooper Macon State College Archive of Marketing Education August, 2007 Coca-Cola Case Study: An Ethics Incident Introduction The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, sponsored by US Senator Paul Sarbanes and US Representative Michael Oxley, represents the biggest change to federal securities laws since the New Deal. (11). One of the first companies to become involved in the new act was the Coca-Cola Company which represents an internationally recognized brand product. In 2003, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Coca-Cola Company came together in Georgia courtroom when former Coca-Cola employee Matthew Whitley’s lawsuits against the company went to trial. Whitley had filed for protection under the whistleblower provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Whistle-blower protection is not new, but the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for the first time provided a system of protection for employees of publicly owned businesses. The need for such a law was evidenced by the abuses and wrongdoings at Enron and other companies. Matthew Whitley discovered such abuses and wrongdoings at the CocaCola Company and sought action, thus shedding light on misconduct at one of the world’s most well-known corporations. The History of The Coca-Cola Company The global Coca-Cola Company, founded and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is known for its close ties to the city and, in particular, its philanthropic history...

...Behavioral or Trait Theories Juliana Daza Medgar Evers College PSYC 215-Theories of Personality Professor Maureen D. Jarus April 27, 2012 A personality theory is a system of concepts, assumptions, ideas and principles proposed to explain different personalities. Personality theorist seek to explain human behavior in terms of inner causes, instincts, feelings of inferiority, needs, conditions of worth, intentions, and so forth. In this research paper, I will be exploring both behaviorist theory, as well as the Trait theory in trying to understand serial killer Wayne Bertram Williams. Behavioral Theories The Behaviorist theory places importance on the external environment, and on the effects of conditioning and learning. Ivan Pavlov was the first psychologist to discover and explore this theory at the beginning of the twentieth century. He demonstrated this form of learning which became known as “classical conditioning” in an experiment with dogs. He would place a small amount of meat on a dogs tongue, and after continuing to do this many times, the canines would salivate before they were giving the food. Before long, the dogs would begin to salivate as soon as Dr. Pavlov would enter the room. He realized that this was a reflex, whereas one stimulus will be followed by another r stimulus, because the two stimuli occurred close together. This reinforced that behavior can be attributed to experience. B.f. Skinner on the other hand, argued that most behavior is learned...

...March through Georgia 1 The United States Civil War was the bloodiest and most trying conflict in American history. Hundreds of thousands of American lives were lost on both sides of the war. General William Tecumseh Sherman’s march through Georgia to the sea was a brilliant strategic victory for the North that helped to end the war more quickly, all while preserving the lives of soldiers on both the North and South. All though his march was outside the general practice of warfare it is clear that the General’s movement through Georgia was the best course he could have taken given his circumstances. His capture of Atlanta and his subsequent march to follow is one of the most controversial issues of the war. At the time of the war it was commonplace for the military leaders to embed their troops in entrenchments that were nearly impossible to infiltrate. They would then rush their men towards each other in a bloody battle. General Sherman realized that attacking the entrenchments of the enemy was fruitless and killed too many soldiers. He went on a path of flanking maneuvers that helped get around these entrenched soldiers. He followed up this plan by attacking the economy of the South and breaking their resolve. The importance of his new plan can be seen on how his tactics of attacking the land and economy, instead of other human beings, and avoiding head-on confrontation actually saved lives for both the Union and Confederate armies. The march from Atlanta to Savannah...

...growing up, people of the same race generally lived in the same community. What defines a community? Webster defines a community as a group of people with common characteristics or interest living together within a larger society (Merriam-Webster, 2010). The common characteristic in this case was race. As a child, I did not know anything about the importance and affect that race played in the state and city I lived in. This paper will provide an overview of my experiences within my community and focus on ethnicity and the way race and ethnicity has shaped my personal life view and a few of the problems that it faced when it comes to race relations. The community that I belong to or associate with would be the African American community. I am an African American black female and I reside in Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta has a population around 61% African American, 33% Caucasian American and 6% other nationalities (Census, 2009). However, the entire state of Georgia has a population around 28% African American, 65% Caucasian American and 7% other nationalities (Census, 2009). Atlanta was one of the major cities that played a key role in the Civil Rights movement. As I read and study my history, I admire all the trials and tribulations that African Americans went through during the 1960’s. The Civil Rights movement is the main reason my community, as well as other communities, consisted of people with a common characteristic. Most communities carried the look of segregation...

...evidence in works such as Before the Battle: Chickin’ Dumplin’, which shows a Confederate solider kneeling to kiss a topless black woman on the breast as she drops a chicken leg in surprise. Walker employs a nineteenth-century style of art combined with an uncensored modern perspective to highlight the full range of physical and sexual exploitation during the ante-bellum era. Her art installations evolve from drawings or smaller watercolor sketches she renders that help her determine her themes, and some of her shows have included these preliminary studies in juxtaposition with the final artworks. Sometimes she cuts her images right into the wall of the gallery. Many of them life-size in scale and covering entire walls, her works depict blacks in scenes that initially seem straightforward or innocent, but then assault the viewer with their violence and perversity. A case in point is her 1995 installation entitled The Battle of Atlanta, which depicted a young boy and a girl dressed in paper soldier’s hat and crinolines, respectively, as they carry a dagger while heading toward a...
