Asuransi Jiwa “X” Semarang) Marlien / 922012017 Latar Belakang Resiko dimasa datang dapat terjadi terhadap kehidupan sesorang misalnya kematian, sakit atau dipecat dari pekerjaannya. Dalam dunia bisnis resiko yang dihadapi dapat berupa resiko kerugian akibat kebakaran, kerusakan atau kehilangan atau resiko lainnya. Oleh karena itu setiap resiko yang akan dihadapi harus ditanggulangi sehingga tidak menimbulkan kerugian yang lebih besar lagi. Untuk mengurangi resiko yang tidak diinginkan dimasa yang akan datang, seperti resiko kehilangan, resiko kebakaran, resiko pinjaman kredit macet bank atau resiko lainnya, maka diperlukan pihak ketiga yang mau menanggung resiko tersebut. Pihak ketiga yang menyediakan jasa untuk menanggung risiko tersebut adalah perusahaan asuransi yang mau menanggung resiko yang bakal dihadapi nasabahnya baik perorangan maupun badan usaha.

Dari segi Ekonomi, asuransi bertujuan untuk mengurangi ketidak pastian dari hasil usaha yang dilakukan oleh seseorang atau perusahaan dalam rangka memenuhi kebutuhan atau mencapai tujuan.

...Henrico Country, Virginia, occurred” (Aptheker 219). The book Black Thunder: Gabriel’s Revolt written by Arna Bontemps is a historical novel that takes place in Virginia in 1800. It shows what the slaves at this time were experiencing and it is in their point of view, rather than the view from the slave masters, like many other novels are. The title, Black Thunder, has a double meaning to it. The very literal meaning of it is a night thunderstorm. The thunderstorm is a climactic turning point in the novel. It is what causes the rivers to flood and the slaves to bail on the revolt. They see the storm as a bad sign and do not want to move onward. The other meaning of the title is the sound of African drums. The titles of the five books, “Jacobins”, “Hand Me Down My Silver Trumpet”, “Mad Dogs”, “A Breathing Of The Common Wind”, and “Pale Evening…A Tall Slim Tree”, in the novel are also very significant. For example, Jacobins, which is the title of book one, were French men who were members of a radical political group who supported an egalitarian democracy. This first book involves many judgments, so I feel it is an appropriate title. The third book refers to what the masters and white people of power saw the slaves as, mad dogs. The last book title has to do with execution and this is the chapter where Gabriel and other slaves get hung. There are many important characters in this novel, but a few particularly stand out, Gabriel, Bundy, and Old Ben. Bundy and Old Ben could...

...Gee Summary In this work written by James Paul Gee, explaining that you as an individual are more subject to gaining discourse from primary discourse (parents, siblings, family), and reinforced by secondary discourse (social goods such as money, prestige, power.) Gee states that "language" can be a term that is misleading because it often suggests that it refers to "grammar" However, language and grammar are two different things. Language is written words whereas grammar is seen as fixing the written words to make the work flow better. The central terms to the text are primary and secondary discourses. Primary discourse are being a member of a primary socializing group (family, clan, peer group). Secondary discourses are the mastery of a particular discourse at a certain place and time, bringing with it the acquisition of "social goods"( Literacy, Discourse, and Linguistics, By James Paul Gee). The reason these themes are so important is that a primary discourse is one in which you learn from individuals that are close to you. After, you have mastered the primary discourse you take what you learned from primary discourse, then through further mastery from other individuals you begin to construct the world around you. Once you have mastered secondary discourse you are able to compete for money power, and prestige. The first concept of the text is that primary and secondary discourses are necessary for an individual to be able to compete in society. After, mastering these skills...

For instance her children were involved in theatre and when practice was done they were allowed to participate with friends. It seems that the children in both families probably were happy children. Most people I know here in Washington State are in the middle of what these ladies believe in. Me for instance I believe that when my child plays a sport that excellence in mandatory. We will learn how to be one of the best players, we will master the sport, we will and discipline is mandatory. I feel the same way about school, we will be top of our class, and we will exceed expectations. But my children have playdates, sleepovers and have playdates. So I’m almost caught in the middle of what these articles speak about. We can master...

...When slaves were being sold they would inspect the buyers. A slave would size up their possible future master and determine based on their demeanor and appearance, whether or not he would be a good master. Once the slave got its intel on the buyer he or she would manipulate their physical traits to make the buyer more or less interested in the purchase. Some of the most well known slaves are; Harriet Tubman, George Carver, and Frederick Douglass. Harriet Tubman was notable and admired while she was alive, and even after she passed she was an American icon. Tubman was born into slavery and escaped in the north only to become the most famous conductor on the Underground Railroad. She also led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom along the route of the Underground Railroad that led to the free state of Pennsylvania. A survey was taken at the end of the 20th century naming her as one of the most famous civilians in American history before the Civil War (qtd. in H.T.B.). Not only does this show that she was a well known slave, it shows that she cared about her people and she would do anything to help them....
