On April 5th, 1968, a teacher in Riceville, Iowa named Jane Elliot conducted an exercise on her third grade class students that dealt with the concept of discrimination that would grow up to be a renowned experience. The exercise was the result from Martin Luther King’s assassination. The documentary is an eye opening into the world of racism and discrimination. The dictionary defines racism as “a doctrine that one race is superior†and discrimination as “the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or for other arbitrary reasons†Throughout the American society . and through its history you can find discrimination. The documentary shows us that discrimination doesn’t just go to the extent to the color of your skin or what your ethnicity is, but can fall into any physical characteristics, your social status, where youâ €™re from, having a developmental disability, simple as being a woman and what not of other things, and in this case the color of your eyes. Nevertheless, we past judgment and prejudice based on these types of things where the person themselves are not ...

... Essay Report Socialization Socialization is the process by which people learn the characteristics of their group. It is how we learn the way of society. It is the life time process that has begun since the day we were born. In this process we acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, norms, and actions that appropriate to society. These are influenced by the agents of socialization which are family, education and peers. The affect of socialization can be seen in A Class Divided by Jane Elliot. She influences the lives of people by showing what it feels to be discriminated. She uses the agents of socialization to teach these people. Family The family is the first and most important part of socialization. The family influences who we are and who we will become. Although the family is not seen in A Class Divided, it is known that they still had an influence. During Elliots experiment with the student it is known that none of the parents had objected to what was being taught to their children. The families were also helping in this process by not encouraging discrimination. Another factor that we see is that the students that had gone through the process now had their own families. They were teaching their children about equality and about discrimination. Education Education and school is another important role in the socialization process. The time that we spend in this...

...sometimes cause adverse reactions in the body. Such reactions are known as hypersensitivity reactions. The traditional classification for hypersensitivity reactions can be divided into the following four (4) types: (1) Type 1 reactions (ie, immediate hypersensitivity reactions) involve immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated release of histamine and other mediators from mast cells and basophils; (2) Type II reactions (ie, cytotoxic hypersensitivity reactions) involve immunoglobulin G or immunoglobulin M antibodies bound to cell surface antigens, with subsequent complement fixation; (3) Type III reactions (ie, immune-complex reactions) involve circulating antigen-antibody immune complexes that deposit in post-capillary venules, with subsequent complement fixation; and (4) Type IV reactions (ie, delayed hypersensitivity reactions, cell-mediated immunity) are mediated by T cells rather than antibodies. (Medscape, Immediate Hypersensitivity Reactions, np, 03/25/2014) Hypersensitivity can be associated to a number of immune system problems such as poison ivy reactions, reactions to transfusion of Type A blood with Type B blood, reaction to an exposure to a field of ragweed, and unsuccessful kidney transplant. In the case of kidney transplant there are three (3) types of rejection: hyperacute rejection, acute rejection, and chronic rejection. (Brown University, Transplant Rejection Therapy, np, nd) Each type of rejection is due to a type of hypersensitivity reaction. Hyperacute rejection...

...Stoichiometry ________________________________________ Stoichiometry is simply the math behind chemistry. Given enough information, one can use stoichiometry to calculate masses, moles, and percents within a chemical equation. ________________________________________ ________________________________________ What is a Chemical Equation? In chemistry, we use symbols to represent the various chemicals. Success in chemistry depends upon developing a strong familiarity with these basic symbols. For example, the symbol "C"represents an atom of carbon, and "H" represents an atom of hydrogen. To represent a molecule of table salt, sodium chloride, we would use the notation "NaCl", where "Na" represents sodium and "Cl" represents chlorine. We call chlorine "chloride" in this case because of its connection to sodium. You should have reviewed naming schemes, or nomenclature, in earlier readings. A chemical equation is an expression of a chemical process. For example: AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) ---> AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) In this equation, AgNO3 is mixed with NaCl. The equation shows that the reactants (AgNO3 and NaCl) react through some process (--->) to form the products (AgCl and NaNO3). Since they undergo a chemical process, they are changed fundamentally. Often chemical equations are written showing the state that each substance is in. The (s) sign means that the compound is a solid. The (l) sign means the substance is a liquid. The (aq) sign stands for aqueous in water and means...

Introduction Hydrocarbons are the simplest class of organic compounds and are composed solely of hydrogen and carbon. This class can be further divided into two groups: aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. Aliphatic hydrocarbons can be classified based on the structure and bonding of the carbon skeleton into three groups: alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Alkanes, or saturated hydrocarbons, are compounds...

...heat capacity, and endothermic reactions must be understood by the students to complete the lab. Carbon and hydrogen molecules are what actually make up hydrocarbons structure. Hydrocarbons are typically utilized in fuels and lubricants, as well as raw materials such as plastic, rubber, and other materials. The reaction between a hydrocarbon and oxygen is a process called combustion, which creates carbon dioxide and water. A combustion reaction is defined as an exothermic reaction, a reaction putting off heat instead of taking in heat. Combustion’s main purpose is to create an oxidized material. Each and every substance on...

...stratification in relation to class, gender, and ethnicity to be of least importance as these relationships had previously been defines by the means of production and with the decline of the old ways these relations cease to exist. Further analyzing modern capitalist societies, the post-modernists claim that there is now no fixed means of production and that there is no overall pattern to be pecieved on this matter except that of diversity and differentiation at every level. With the boundaries of the nation state having been breached, capitalism has now become a global economic system marshaled by a transnational capitalist class. Now with the challenging of the equation that ‘big’ science equals progress, the rise of green revolutions and the diversifying of society in all aspects, such as the family, and the ubiquity of the mass...

...1. collagen Major structural protein (285 kDa) of extracellular matrix. An unusual protein in amino acid composition (very rich in glycine (30%), proline, hydroxyproline, lysine and hydroxylysine; no tyrosine or tryptophan), structure (a triple-helical arrangement of 95-kDa polypeptides giving a tropocollagen molecule, dimensions 300×0.5 nm), and resistance to peptidases. Most types are fibril-forming with a characteristic quarter-stagger overlap between molecules producing an excellent tension-resisting fibrillar structure. Type IV, characteristic of basal lamina, does not form fibrils. Many different types of collagen are now recognized. Some are glycosylated (glucose–galactose dimer on the hydroxylysine), and nearly all types can be cross-linked through lysine side chains. 2. elastin Glycoprotein (70 kDa) randomly coiled and crosslinked to form elastic fibres that are found in connective tissue. Like collagen, the amino acid composition is unusual with 30% of residues being glycine and with a high proline content. Cross-linking depends upon formation of desmosine from four lysine side groups. The mechanical properties of elastin are poorer in old animals. 3. keratins Group of highly insoluble fibrous proteins (of high _-helical content) which are found as constituents of the outer layer of vertebrate skin and of skin-related structures such as hair, wool, hoof and horn, claws, beaks and feathers. Extracellular keratins are derived from cytokeratins, a large and diverse...

...the relationship between crime and social class Marxism is a structural theory and says we live in a capitalist society which is divided into 2 classes, the ruling class who own the means of production and the working class who are exploited by the RC in order to create profit. There are 3 types of Marxism, traditional Marxists, neo-Marxists and new left realists, each of these believe that the capitalists society is partly to blame to crime but different views as to why and how and to what extent. I will look at the link between what they say about class and crime. According to traditional Marxists such as Chamblis and Pearce, everyone commits crime but it is only the working class that gets caught. Traditional Marxists argue that the working class are over represented in crime statistics because of selective policing. The police choose to pursue working class street crimes rather than trying to catch corporate or white collar crimes that are usually committed by ruling or middle classes. As these ruling class crimes are not caught, the working class appear to be more criminal than other social groups. The neo-Marxist Box estimated while in one year 20,000 people were murdered, 14000 died in industrial accidents and 30,000 died as a result of unsafe consumer products. While the death toll for these corporate crimes is much higher than that of street crime, the number of convictions for corporate crime was much lower so the working class street crimes were seen as more common thanks...

The meaning of Labov’s studies for modern sociolinguistics 6. Conclusion 1. Topic and Introduction The topic of this term paper are “Labov’s studies in New York and Martha’s Vineyard”. Labov’s observations in Martha’s Vineyard served Labov as a model for his Master’s essay and his observations in New York as a model for his dissertation. The second chapter will give a survey of William Labov’s motivation for studying sociolinguistics. Chapter 3 is about his observations in Martha’s Vineyard. After that I’ll give a detailed description of his studies in New York (chapter 4) divided up into the two parts: First, the social stratification of (r) in New York City Department Stores (4.1) and second The Lower East Side (4.2). These studies are Labov’s most famous works and two of his early publications. With his studies he created the base for a modern way of analysing language without using tape-recorded interviews (see also chapter 5 of this term paper, the meaning of Labov’s studies for modern sociolinguistics). Finally a conclusion will be given in chapter 6. 2. Labov’s motivation for studying Sociolinguistics William Labov was born on December the 4th...
