...Baber 10/23/12 Beat Literature practice college paper Through out the beat literature you can find recurring themes like religion that make the different stories/poems very similar. The beat generation rejects the American culture that covers up the disasters that are happening. They turned to Buddhism for peace. A big group of people called “the beats” went off the mainstream path and started doing things that were not typical to do during that time period. Some things that were not mainstream was the beats started to practice Buddhism and the way they write their stories and poem for example the style and run on sentences. The members of the Beat Generation rejected mainstream Western traditions because they felt those traditions were covering up what was wrong in 1950s America. Through out the different beat literatures there are many references where the beats reject Western traditions and went off the mainstream path. In the Note on Religious Tendencies by Gary Snyder that the Beat Generation do “experimentation with narcotics […] and intelligent use of drugs.” (Religious Tendencies) This demonstrates the Beats would rather not follow the mainstream path and would rather do different things like try different kinds of drugs and experiment with them. The Beats wanted to push themselves away from being with the mainstream people. They want to do different things even if they were not acceptable. Trying the different drugs showed that the Beats were doing something...

...(1) Difference between Posts and Beats Criminal Justice/210 (2) Today’s law enforcement still incorporates some of the old traditional methods used in the late 19th century. Two examples of these methods include beats, where a police officer is assigned a certain area to patrol. Patrolling may occur on foot, bicycle, or vehicle. Patrolling beats gives officers the opportunity to interact with members of the community to strengthen the effectiveness of communication and encouraging combining efforts in keeping the community safe. If necessary, beat officers will perform traffic duties as well. The next example, posts, are designated locations where a police officer stands guard and secures. Although posts do not require the officer to patrol a beat, it may still involve a small level of patrolling within their posted area. For example, an officer may be posted at a hospital, bank, or grocery store where the locations’ size is such that patrolling the immediate premises is necessary to effectively...

...The Beats were a criticism of American complacency and an expression of new forms of literature that has constantly influenced our society and living. The Beat generation started from a group of American writers who emerged in the 1950s. Among many Beat Generation writers, most influential members were Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs and Gary Snyder. All the writers have contributed to the literature society in their own different and unique way. Here in this essay, I will explore on unique characteristics or contributions that each writer has made on our literature society. Norman Mailer was a predominant writer in 1950s. He is mostly known as the writer of “White Negro”. He contributed on our literature by clarifying who Beat Generations are and how do we define them. In his essay The White Negro, he defined the Beatnik as young white people who like Jazz and swing music so much that they adopted black culture as their own. Beatniks adopted the African American vernacular language to differentiate themselves from the so-called “Mainstream”. The word they use is semantically flexible that words such as man, beat, cool, swing, with it, crazy, dig, flip, creep and hip can mean hundreds different things depending upon context to tone and rhythm. By further defining and exploring the meaning of Beat Generation, he allowed others to see what beat generation is truly about. Without his essay “The White Negro”, people would have interpreted Beat Generation...

...Beat Generation Literature Allen Ginsberg Topic 1 “Look, my suit is five bucks, shoes are three bucks, shirt is for two dollar, and tie is for one dollar. These things are all secondhand. Only my poems are first class”(Beidao, p.136), Ginsberg said to his friend. As the father of Beat Generation, Allen Ginsberg came with his astounding freedom, powerful moral integrity and unique madness. Life with poem, decadence, wandering and willful indulgence, Allen Ginsberg’s spiritual ethos of getting rid of all the fetters, thinking highly of liberalism, pursing the unconditional and absolute freedom, independence and creativity is the reflection of the truly literary, aesthetic and cultural value of his poems. Allen Ginsberg’s spiritual ethos is embedded in his writing style and language. Ginsberg's style may have seemed to be chaotic or un-poetic, but to Ginsberg it was an open, ecstatic expression of thoughts and feelings that were naturally poetic. “Moloch! Solitude! Faith! Ugliness! […] Moloch! Moloch! […]” (Howl part 2, 3-6). According to Ginsberg: “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.” Which also demonstrates Ginsberg’s poem has no form, and it is the chosen phrases that express his mind. Ginsberg believed strongly that traditional formalist considerations were archaic and didn't apply to reality. Though the language of Ginsberg’s poem...

...When people's standard of living increase,they often think about improving their knowledge for a better life.To do that,they choose to study in developed contries where they can get progressive education.However,everything has its advantages and disadvantages,so studying abroad is not an exeptation. In my opinion, I think studying abroad is the beat way to improve ourselve.As you know, there are obvious advantages to study abroad. Fristly, We have chance to improve our language. I think nothing is better than to learn language with the native speakers.Because we can practise with the local people what we study at school, so it is very useful to improve our listening and speaking skills.It also offer chances to discover the new cultures,way of thinking,history,customs and lifestyles. Futhermore, we have opportunities to study the new technologies and most recent science achivements.In addition, we are equipped with the valuaable and updated knowledge which may help us find jobs easily after graduating. However, studying abroad is often expensive.We have to pay not only for our school fees but also for our living cost.Therefore, finance may become the biggest problem. Consequently, it distracts our mind from studying to earning money. Last but not least,adapting to a new environment is e real challenge for every foreign student.While changing the weather can affect our health,different cultures and customs may influence our mind and make us become less confident...

...It was a beautiful fall evening. The sun was just beginning to give way to incoming twilight. I could smell winter in the air, even through my closed window. Soon there'd be snow on the ground. Matchbox Twenty was playing on my clock radio. I want to push you around...” The mood was set for a soft autumn night. However the mood inside my room was quite different. I was running around trying to do a million things a one time. My makeup was all wrong for my outfit. My hair was too big, no, now too flat. My stomach was rolling inside itself. My poor tummy was on tumble dry and I couldn't quite get it to stop. I couldn't find my shoes; my shirt had foundation on the side. What I really wanted to do was to sit on my bed and cry. Brian had called twenty minutes before the chaos. I could not believe he had called me. He probably thought I was stupid because I was so tongue-tied. He asked me if I would mind coming to dinner with him and a few of his friends. Would I mind? Do cows moo? The horn honked. My frustration grew. If this was a real date, my first one ever, shouldn't he come to the door and pick me up? Maybe take my arm in his and lead me to the car? I had envisioned my first date to at least start off right. This must be an omen. I walked out the door. The moment I heard the click of the lock I knew I looked horrible. A million thoughts raced through my mind, among these were the fact that I should have worn the blue shirt, my hair looks horrible, and oh God everyone is watching...

...Paragraph 1: There are three main components that cause change in the human mind which are the lyrical content, the rhythm and the dynamics of music. First and foremost, the lyrical content have the ability to influence an individual through its explicit lyrics. Usually, heavy metal and rap music would contain drug abuse, violence, and sexual references; thus, themes of rebellion, alienation and vengeance are present in certain songs. Some songs contain metaphors, lyrical intelligence, and double ambiguous meanings which could imply subliminal messages. The next cause would be rhythm, which is defined as the flow of music through time. The sub-elements under rhythm is beat and tempo. Beat is the regular or recurrent pulsation that divides music into equal units of time while tempo is the speed of the beat and considered the basic pace of music....

...Humanities; 2* 09/5/10 The song “Give Me Novocain” by the band Green Day reveals a sense of suffering, and the use of drugs to help ease pain. The chorus “Drain the pressure from the swelling / This sensation’s over whelming/ Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright/ Tell me Jimmy I won’t feel a thing/ So give me Novocain.” This bluntly shows that what ever point of view this is coming from that person is very clearly suffering and is using drugs as a way to escape from it. The beat of the drums and the guitar is slow at first, then changes to a more up beat tone, hinting at the drugs raging through a person’s system. The slower beat that the song returns to is the high. It’s the calm that a person feels when the are worry free. When I first heard this song I had no reason to believe it was about anything than what was being obviously sung about. But when I listened to the lyrics it revealed the suffering that we as humans go through and what some people will do to escape, even if only for a matter of hours. It made me think about all the times I wished I could escape from something as simple as my mother. I changed my way of dealing with things from then on. Instead of wishing I could just get away by any means possible, or punching walls, I would just think about everything I have that is worth staying for. Everything I did both in thought and in action changed slightly. I never thought about wanting to run away or get at my mom and instead of hitting...

...A TEAM BUILDING STRATEGY Team-building strategies outlined in The Five Dysfunctions of a Team include: (a) absence of trust, (b) fear of conflict, (c) lack of commitment, (d) avoidance of accountability, and (e) inattention to results (Lencioni, 2002, p. 187). Two useful strategies to focus on in order to reduce team conflict are—commitment and accountability. Lack of commitment is most often a root-cause of many flawed team performances. This is because nearly everyone is permitted to march to the beat of a different drummer. No one really agrees with what has seemingly been agreed to, so they go on their individual own way to do what they really want to do. What results is a disjointed and confused outcome. Decisions are often delayed because there is little coherence to any plan or strategy. The leader must break this apparent stalemate by bringing clarity of purpose to the team and solicit complete buy-in among them. The leader must align the entire team around the objective such that the focus of each individual effort is clearly understood and that they are in agreement with the way forward (Lencioni, 2002, p. 208). Lack of accountability is generally the root-cause of why an objective may not be accomplished as expected. Avoidance of accountability can coexist among normally highly motivated people that serve to undermine the objective by not holding others responsible for their errant actions or unproductive inactions (Lencioni, 2002, p. 189). The...
