...Lastly, Cole closed the show with “4 Your Eyez Only” which sums up the entire album. In the track Cole’s friend serves as a metaphor for death within the black communities. He addresses the effects of mass incarceration on children, which made a lot of fans see it as an affirmation. It’s hard for people to make it out of these communities when they are expected to grow up aspiring and expecting nothing greater than climbing the ladder of “hood politics” of drug and territory. He sends out a powerful message to the audience towards the end and speaks on the influence of Rap and Hip-Hop in these colored communities, and how every audience builds up different perceptions. If you listen to violent music then you will have that mentality which is...

...There are certain people who are of color who do make music that is considered hip hop but is not authentic. Any artist who talks about a lifestyle that he does not really live cannot be considered a true hip hop artist. Secondly any artist who influences young blacks to follow a certain lifestyle that they know will lead them into being a negative statistic is not hip hop. As stated before, hip hop is a movement of liberation. In the song “99 problems” Jay Z gives legal advice. Later in his life, he currently owns a scholarship foundation where he donates money to children to help them fight against their personal oppression, making him a true hip hop artist. To elaborate on authentic hip hop I have included an analysis that I have done on...

...during the civil rights movement, hip hop and its successful influence on its listeners, especially the black youth, was able to thrive due to its uncanny ability to adapt and respond to the problems that that era presents. From the socially and politically conscious hip hop (SPC hip hop) during the civil rights movements to the mainstream music we hear on the radio today, the difference in message projected by today’s modern, hyper-masculine hip hop onto society compared with that of SPC hip hop has become a controversial subject criticized by American media such as Byron Hurt’s movie “Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes” and Tricia Rose’s article “There Are Bitches and Hoes.” With regards to the negatives that hip-hop music could have on society, the songs “Let Nas Down” by J. Cole, “Come Get Me” by Jay-Z and “Bitches Ain’t Shit” by YG each respectively complicate, exemplify and extend Hurt’s claims that hip hop artists solely produce generic, hyper masculine mainstream music for the production of records; glorify violence and negatively portray women as sexual objects in order to prove their man hood. When the song “Let Nas Down” by J. Cole is analyzed through a historical context and compared to Hurt’s claim that hip hop artists solely produce mainstream music for their own benefit to the claim that is projected in the J. Cole’s lyrics, a complication between the two claims is illuminated. In the song “Let Nas Down”, Cole—who is a lesser known but reputable rap artist trying to...

...Choosing a Spouse in the United States Michael J Bergloff, Alex Bothe and Ross Barry 5/10/2012 The objective through this research is to further understand how certain individual preferences influence the marriage process. Current and archived literature was examined on the topic of marriage matching tendencies in which lead to the development of a unique framework to evaluate the preferences of males and females. Several preferences were tested, which included income, education and age, to determine the effectiveness of the framework provided. These tests were constructed using regression techniques and empirical data from the American Community Survey to see if a positive correlation exists between the three independent variables and mate selection at the time of marriage. The results from the regression models of income, education and age reveal that these preferences play a predominant part of choosing a soul mate, further indicating that people seek a marital partner with characteristics similar to their own. I. Introduction Over the past several decades, there has been an increased discussion and study in social issues among economists (Becker 1973). One of the most prominent topics that has been studied and continues to be researched is the issue of marriage. For many Americans, deciding to marry and who to marry to are often considered the most important choices an individual can make. Furthermore, social scientists are particularly interested in the mating process...

...Breech (1957), Koontz and O’Donnell (1984) and Peters (1988). The definition of management can often depend upon the organisation it is within and the approach being taken. Throughout the twentieth century many managers and theorists have come up with their own approaches to management and organisation, many linked to the different trends of the time. One of the major trends to affect businesses is the development of technology. Kast and Rosenzweig (1970) believe that the advances made in technology represent the expansions and growth of large organisations. Dessler (1976) however, points out that the social and economic statuses at the time are closely linked with the development, in what he describes as a “chicken and egg” situation. The influences these all had on developing management and organisation theories will be looked at in more detail. Before the end of the nineteenth century mass production and commercialisation didn’t exist. There were no big businesses to speak of, with the only large organisations being the military and the church. However, the end of the nineteenth century saw...

The LIAASE tool, provided the assessment in categories; learn, Inquire, avoid polarization, avoid arguing or defending and show empathy. Cole and Stewart (2015) “nurse practitioners must respond to the unique and distinct needs of the diverse and ever- changing society” (p.127). The adaptive nurse practitioner (NP) responds to the unique needs of the individual’s unique factors which influence health. In addition, the ability to communicate is essential for the nurse patient relationship (DiMatteo, 2004). Communication involves speaking in a language the individual can understand.

...concerned with getting things done through people by taking into account the resources for profitable activities Pettinger (1994). In the early twentieth century, Henry Fayol defined management as the process of “forecasting, planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling” Fayol (1949). Subsequently, Koontz and O’donell (1988) suggested the definition of management as “an operational process dissected by analyzing the managerial functions such as planning and organizing”. Over the last centuries management has been studied with the view of establishing what constitutes a successful manager Petinger (1994). The search for applicable principles of management initiated in the last years of nineteenth century in Europe and America Cole (2004). Like any other social practice, at the heart of management is theory that managers can deploy to achieve competition advantage and use more incisive interventions McAuley et al (2007). In addition the basic requirement of managers for meeting the challenges like competition, use of sources and maximum output is the knowledge of management theories Mahmoud and Basharat (2012). According to Olum (2004) implementation of management theories into day-to-day practice of managers have given them better chance of managing their organization. Throughout history a number of management theories have been suggested and practiced in organizations. In this paper the nature and the...

...The great philosophers Plato and Aristotle in the early ages warned that people should be concerned about the means regarding how society chooses to entertain itself. The philosophers were pointing out at the violent cockfights and its violent influence towards the people who were watching. The similar issue is concerning our society in the 21sth century. The only difference is that the cockfights were replaced with media violence. This has been a raising concept since the invention of television and introduction of the video games. This essay will discuss the validity of the claim that media violence causes aggressive behavior on the juvenile audience. The paper will firstly show the correlation studies and experimental studies about media violence and its influence on children. It will then move to other reasons which causes the aggressive behavior. Finally, this essay will also examine the influence of aggressive video games on players. Children found a new environment of amusement after the television came on the scene. They were exposed to large number of new programs. Even if there was a potential peril to juveniles, people were not aware of what sorts of programs or what quantities of it were dangerous. At that time there was not enough proof that violence programs was the cause of aggression (Carter& Strickland, 1993). Thus, the researchers began to conduct various kinds of research and studies to prove the correlation between the media violence and the aggressive...

...full proof so I watched some of my friends and how they acted after listening to urban music and as bad as it seemed the government had a point that couldn’t be augured against. Urban music had influenced drugs, sex, money, crime, and gangs the music that I listened to and liked had become the music that birthed many of today’s criminals. The first point I would like to make would be the fact that music has had a major influence in the way the youth acts and how violent they become when hearing certain kind of music. I have seen kids at my school acting wild and violent when listening to artist like Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Flames, and Lil Wayne. I have seen artist like Machine Gun Kelly have malls full of fans waiting on him shutting down local malls and making a riot like scene when they would see him. Machine Gun Kelly has the power of having a voice that’s heard by the masses since 99% of these masses are the youth of today he makes a even huger impact on them because he relates to them as well as they relate to him giving him the power to influence them to...

...IWT Task 1 (0813) This paper will analyze, critique, and help us to understand the music of the Harlem Renaissance and the Pop Art periods. The social conditions that influenced the art and the characteristics of the artists’ style were in many ways similar; however, with advancing technology, they had differing struggles to overcome. The Harlem Renaissance was sparked by the Great Migration from 1919 – 1926 in which African Americans began moving to northern cities to find employment and a better way of life. The musicians of this era were very influential in renewing the culture and history of the United States. Jazz, race, and class divided Harlem and New York cities. Some historians have said the best way to understand the Harlem Renaissance is by understanding the music (http://historyoftheharlemrenaissance.weebly.com/index.html; www.1920s-fashion-and-music.com/Harlem-Renaissance-1920s.html). With the roots of jazz coming from slave songs, it is truly an African-American invention. This newly formed music utilized the dissonant “blue” note. This modification to the to the standard major scale allowed the musician to play the note flat; usually the third, fifth, or seventh note of the scale. Music critic Sidney Finkelstein stated, “It expresses the hope and struggle for freedom, the vitality which enables a people to wrest joy out of misery and to assert the triumph of human beings over the obstacles that would grind them down.” ("MindEdge," 2014) Jazz was the sound...
