...On this week, we discussed the topic of race and ethnicity. In the United States, the multi-cultural society forms many different variations in defining the race and ethnicity. Based on the video, ethnicity, as defined by the Professor Lee, is about the national origin, the certain boundary of the individual cultures. Ethnicity can be expressed in an alternate way to become a symbolic ethnicity when cultural values and customs are displayed in public. Examples in this chapter are T-shirt with Italy logo and artistic or religious necklaces that symbolize one's cultural values toward their religion believes. People are welcome to celebrate their ethnicity nationwide such as their special holidays and festivals. On the other hand, race, according...

...Tulsa Oklahoma Race Riot Commission The Tulsa Race Riot began with a single shot fired in a lynching mob near the courthouse on May 31, 1921. Over two thousand White Americans crowded the courthouse with the intention to lynch Dick Rowland, a man accused of raping a white woman. Rowland had been heading to an elevator, where he worked, in order to reach the top floor colored restroom. On his way into the elevator, which had not stopped properly, he tripped and grabbed the arm of Sarah Page, a white operator woman. When a man heard her scream and saw Rowland running away from the building, he called authorities to report a sexual assault. To receive a fair trial, Rowland went to a court room in Greenwood, the black neighborhood of Tulsa....

...5k distance race because I enjoy running and doing anything physical, so naturally I couldn’t pass up this anchor project. Most distance races usually fundraise to help certain causes, such as breast cancer, and help raise awareness about those causes, too. I love getting involved in events or groups that help benefit not only myself but others as well, which is a win-win situation. I expect to have difficulty running in the race since it’s been quite awhile since I’ve actually participated in anything physical, though I am excited to be completing this anchor project. THE SEARCH In order to find a race, I went on a website that gives details and allows you sign up for...

...The Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union was a turning point in the history of mankind. You may ask why the space race was even considered a race in the first place. There were different reasons as to why these two countries tried to conquer space and to outdo one another. Why wouldn't they make it such a big deal, humanity was looking to step foot on the moon for the first time, that would mark history forever. To begin with, the competition intensified as each side attempted to prove the advantage of its technology. According to blog.yizzam.com/the-space-race-usa-or-ussr-more-competitive/, "Tensions quickly grew among the Cold War rivals and it became evident that the race embodied so much more than having bragging rights." The space race was a competition where both countries tried to develop aerospace capabilities. Thus, they wanted the world to see which was the better and more innovative nation. Beginning in the late 1950s, space would become another dramatic arena for this competition, as each side would prove to have superiority of its technology. At first, for a while people...

...The Damned Human Race (Criticism) Reading this article of Mark Twain about the Damned Human Race, I was quite intrigued about how the writer speculated his own theory (about why humans should be in the lowest stage of the chain) although at some point, I find it precise. Excluding its positive side, he settled comparison between the cruelty of humans and the innocence of other wild animals. He used scientific method to conclude such. Based on his experiments, he proved that humans became more hesitant; that humans are more wild and raucous; and that humans are more likely chaotic than any other animals. Analytically citing, he conducted random experiments comparing the so-called lower animals to us humans. He used sarcasm to show that society is more backwards than of what most individual consider. He as well established the descent of humans from the lower animals. Opposing to this matter, I consider certain things proving that humans should not be in the bottommost of the chain. One thing I would like to render is that positive side of humans which denotes responsiveness towards animal (other) care. Twain have mentioned that humans are merely tolerating numbers of wild animals for unacceptable reasons, but the real thing is that humans are only being defensive for their own protection. In connection to this, other wild animals are as well, being defensive when it comes to their own safety. Lending skunks as an example, they too, when mistreated or bothered, would spray...

...Sentence Race Level: Any Level A good game for large classes and for reviewing vocabulary lessons. 1. Prepare a list of review vocabulary words. 2. Write each word on two small pieces of paper. That means writing the word twice, once on each paper. 3. Organize the pieces like bundles, 2 bundles, 2 sets of identical words. 4. Divide the class into 2 teams. get them to make creative team names. 5. Distribute each list of words to both teams. every student on each team should have a paper. Both teams have the same words. 6. When you call a word, 2 students should stand up, one from each team. The students must then run to the blackboard and race to write a sentence using their word. The winner is the one with a correct and clearly written sentence. ------------------------------------------------- This is always a hit with kids. For more advanced students, use tougher words. Bang Bang - A Vocabulary Game Level: Easy Divide the group into two teams. Explain that they are cowboys and they are involved in a duel. One student from each team comes to the front. Get them to pretend to draw their pistols. Say "how do you say..." and a word in their mother tongue. The first child to give the answer and then "bang bang", pretending to shoot his opponent is the winner. He remains standing and the other one sits down. I give 1 point for the right answer and 5 extra points if they manage to "kill" 4 opponents in a row. ------------------------------------------------- ...

...moves on. If I want attention for an hour or so, however, I'll tell them my horrible secret — for several years I made much of my freelance income writing term papers. I always wanted to be writer, but was told from an early age that such a dream was futile. After all, nobody ever puts a classified ad in the paper that reads “Writers Wanted.” Then, in the Village Voice, I saw just such an ad. Writers wanted, to write short pieces on business, economics, and literature. It was from a term paper mill, and they ran the ad at the beginning of each semester. Writing model term papers is above-board and perfectly legal. Thanks to the First Amendment, it’s protected speech, right up there with neo-Nazi rallies, tobacco company press releases, and those "9/11 Was An Inside Job" bumper stickers. It's custom-made Cliff Notes. Virtually any subject, almost any length, all levels of education — indulgent parents even buy papers for children too young for credit cards of their own. You name it, I've done it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the plurality of clients was business administration majors, but both elementary education majors and would-be social workers showed up aplenty. Even the assignments for what in my college days were the obvious gut courses crossed my desk. "Race in The Matrix" was a fashionable subject. The term paper biz is managed by brokers who take financial risks by accepting credit card payments and psychological risks by actually talking to the clients. Most of the...

...Thank you for taking your time to provide feedback on my manuscript. I took the suggestions seriously and carefully and revised the paper accordingly. First, I have revised my abstract to highlight the importance of my study. In doing so, I have highlighted the race aspect of the paper and clearly stated major findings from the study, concluding with my contribution to the scholarship of intersectional identities. Second, I have strengthened my discussion of intersectional identities on page 5. In doing so, I have added the discussion of context-dependent salience of some identities (McCall 2001) and rely on Collins’ (2000) matrix of domination to explain how various systems of oppression affects individuals’ everyday lives as well as how...

...is innocent of plagiarism because he demonstrates a high level of integrity, the faculty at Mailor Callow was unfair to him, and he naturally possesses a high level of intelligence. One reason that Jamal Wallace is innocent of plagiarism is that he demonstrates a high level of integrity. Jamal was receiving help on his writing from Forrester; however, Forrester requested that Jamal never tell anyone about him or the work that they were doing. When Jamal was accused of plagiarizing, he could have cleared up the charges immediately, but he demonstrated integrity and kept his promise to William. Additionally, the professor asked Jamal to write a paper in his office. Jamal could have told him he wouldn’t do it, but he wanted to show that he could. Unfortunately, Jamal was under too much pressure and wasn’t able to write the paper, but he still didn’t give up Forrester. Finally, Jamal demonstrates integrity by throwing the school’s championship game. The dean told Jamal that if he won the game, the plagiarism charges will go away, but Jamal being the good kid that he is missed the shots on purpose because he wanted to prove that he was better than just being there for basketball.

There have been many changes, additions, and improvements during this time. Adventurer Ministry has shown huge growth as well. Youngsters in this age group are full of energy and get excited about being a part of an organization that is designed to expand their view of their world and strengthen their relationship with God, Mom, and Dad through ways that are so much fun. The roof over Adventurer Ministry is supported by several strong pillars. You hold in your hands one of them: the latest updated manual covering all 83 currently accepted Awards for use around the world. There is of course, one small problem: This area of Adventurer fun is not a static field of possibilities, it is a constantly growing—maybe almost exploding—source of activity. Therefore even at the time of this edition’s printing, there are already more Awards being...

...writing. In fact, the three universities that I have attended in the past have all required me to use the APA style of writing. As I recall my high school years, the APA style of writing also seemed to be a favorite amongst my high school teachers. They all required that term papers be written in APA style as well. This type of writing actually does not differ much from the ones included in the text reading. The text mentioned the APA style of writing several times. In my opinion, it appears to be the most popular style of writing, especially amongst college students. Based on the results of the quizzes, my grammar skills were actually a little better than average. I actually had expected to do better, but I guess my grammar skills are not as good as I thought they were. In any event I feel very confident when it comes to spelling, as I have always been a great speller. Even in grade school, I was a good speller. I learned at a very young age to challenge myself when it comes to spelling. Challenging my-self in that area really paid off as I became older, as I’ve never had a problem with spelling. However, I feel that I need more help with run on sentences and with thought patterns. Though I proof read my paper several times, it’s hard for me to see that I have several run on sentences until after I get my grade back. In general, I feel that my writing is just mediocre. However, I also believe that when it comes to writing, I am my own worst critic. Reason being, I am never...
