...to fit Brown into ready-made molds: hero or villain, martyr or monster, prophet or madman. Others have labeled him strange and not important...But the man and his mission can’t be so easily dismissed.”(Horowitz Par 4). John Brown’s drive and violent passion for the abolishment of slavery have been a very controversial topic in many historians thoughts. With his numerous bloody attempts to have equal rights for all slaves, some may define him as a terrorist. But his ambition for the end of slavery and his efforts to reach that goal has made many people believe him as a hero of this nation. John was an abolitionist all his life and never refused to help free-state men in need, He also was...

...would be easy to infer that the narrator is referring to some sort of animal. “I have seen them gentle tame and meek/That now are wild and do not remember.” (Wyatt, p. 127) However, the term “naked foot” in the second line offers a clue that the narrator is speaking of a human being. He did not, after all, use an animal term like “hoof” or “paw.” The beings that used to visit the narrator’s chamber are likely human. “The anguish none can draw” The second stanza of the poem begins, “Hidden in the cap/Is the anguish none can draw.” Perhaps in an effort to make hanging as humane as possible, an executioner would slip a hood over the head of a doomed man, so that no one could see his face as he endured his brutal death. Thus, John Brown’s face is “hidden in the cap.” The anguish Melville refers to is the feeling of failure John Brown must have felt. He knew he was breaking the law, and that hanging would be his fate if he...

...Medical/Surgical Intensive Care Unit Emilee Snider Historical Trends in Nursing Critical Care Nursing Critical care nursing can be traced back to the battlefield and recovery room of the earlier decades and has evolved into the modern intensive care units today. The early 1950s through the 1990s is an era in which unpredicted and radical changes occurred in the care of all patients with the development and growth of intensive/critical care units in hospitals. The reasons for initiating these units was multi-factorial and complex; the factors included the acute shortage of civilian registered nurses (RNs) during and following World War II, innovative surgical procedures developed in caring for wounded servicemen that later carried over to civilian hospitals, vastly overcrowded hospitals, and the unacceptably high mortality rate among postoperative patients. During this time nursing care wasn’t either standardized or organized. The nursing staff consisted of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and unlicensed nurse’s aides, each doing what seemed best for that patient at that given moment. There have always been critically ill patients; critical care nursing itself is fairly new. Patient care is more complex as the technology and medicine have advanced. The first intensive care unit opened in the 1950s, allowing the patients to get the specialized care and continuous monitoring and treatment (A Community Of Exceptional Nurses, 2013). Dr. William McClenahan, in...

...2/3/2014 Week 4 Assignment 1 Computer Architecture John von Neumann was a mathematician and polymath who was born on December 28 1903 and while he made major contributions to a number of fields the one we care about in the IT field is von Neumann Architecture. In 1946 he co wrote a paper with Arthur W. Burks and Hermann H. Goldstine and out lined what would be need for a general purpose electronic computer. The title of the paper was “Preliminary Discussion of the Logical Design of an Electronic Computing Instrument” ( von Neumann , 2000) and the idea of the paper would have far reaching impacts on the field of computer science and would lead the design and building of the first computer call Manchester Mark I witch ran its first program in 1948. While the history lesson of the man is all well and good the question we need to ask ourselves is how the von Neumann architecture works and what goes into the process. Von Neumann believe that computing machines contained four parts the arithmetic logic unit this part of the architecture is solely involved with carrying out calculations upon the data such as adding subtracting multiplying and division the control unit will manage the process of moving data and program into and out of the memory and also deal with carrying out program instructions the memory that can hold data and also the program processing that data in modern computers this RAM and the input-output devices which allows for the idea that a person needs to interact...

...propagating a world where the black man had as many rights as their white counterpart (Wright, 2006). Many attempts have been made in history some like the Universal Negro Improvement Association faced challenges from among the black community itself, especially the members of the middle class who viewed the motives of Garvey with skepticism as in the past such movements had been used for selfish goals (Cronon, 1955). The black community faced a lot of segregation from the white community who viewed them as lesser humans and did not, therefore, want to mix with them. Even in public schools, black children were unwanted. In 1954, for example, the ruling in Brown vs. Board of education held that it was contrary to constitutional rights to discriminate other people. This meant that black children had every right to attend public school. This was in 1954. In 1964, however, there was a milestone. This was the passing of the Civil Rights Act 1964 (Wright, 2006). It was signed into law by then president Lyndon John in the full view of Martin Luther King Jr. and fellow civil rights campaigners (Skog, 2007). This law recognized the equality of women in employment and allowed them to hold jobs. It also allowed the Attorney General to sue anyone who did not uphold it, for example, in the case of employment of blacks and other minorities. Also of importance to note is that public places were no longer segregated, and the Act even went on to define public places to include restaurants...

WILLIAM BROWN* AND DAN MOSHAVI College of Business, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana, U.S.A. Summary Non-cognitive emotional intelligence could potentially contribute to a more holistic understanding of interpersonal influence and leadership; however, significant issues of definition, psychometric independence, and measurement must be conclusively resolved. Possible relationships between emotional intelligence, transformational leadership, and individual/organizational outcomes are described and further investigation is encouraged. Copyright # 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Introduction Of all the issues integral to organizational behavior, few, if any, concepts have been the object of as much conjecture, study, and consideration as have leadership and social influence. An understanding of the capacity to influence others has captured the attention of practitioners, academics, and social commentators throughout history. During the 20th century, progress toward a more complete understanding of influence and leadership was characterized by alternating cycles of excitement and despair. As the mid-20th century approached, the notion that innate qualities...

...Sand Creek Massacre: Genocide? The World English Dictionary defines the term “genocide” as “the policy of deliberately killing a nationality or ethnic group.” Though the term “genocide” was not coined until 1944, acts of genocide have been committed throughout history. While some historians believe the killing and acts of violence toward Native Americans is considered genocide, others argue that genocide is an act of intent and does not describe the colonization experience. It is debated, then, whether one of the most heinous acts of violence against Native Americans, known as the Sand Creek Massacre, is considered genocide. The Sand Creek Massacre occurred on November 29, 1864. It stands as one of the cruelest acts against the Native citizens of the United States. In the early dawn of that morning, Colonel John M. Chivington and his army, known as the Third Colorado Volunteers, brutally attacked a Cheyenne and Arapaho village along Sand Creek in southeastern Colorado. With more than seven hundred well-armed men, Chivington attacked the village of six hundred peaceful Native people. Two-thirds of the village was comprised of women, children, and the elderly. The younger men in the village were out hunting buffalo at the time, so they were not present when the massacre occurred (Brown). Black Kettle, the chief of the Cheyenne tribe, met with Major Anthony at Fort Lyon a short time before the massacre, and was assured by him that if he and his people camped at Sand Creek they...

...The Civil Rights Movement Sharon L. Jordan HUM410 Contemporary History Instructor: Lila Griffin-Brown October 16, 2011 African Americans’ efforts to stop the segregation of trains and streetcars, the organizations created to contest Jim Crow laws, and segregationists’ attempts to silence the protests all provide rich testimony to the spirit of agitation present even in this bleak time in American history (Kelley, 2010, p.5). The Civil Rights Movement was a struggle by African Americans in the mid-1950s to late 1960s to achieve civil rights equal to those of whites, including equal opportunity in employment, housing, and education, as well as the right to vote, the right of equal access to public facilities, and the right to be free of racial discrimination (Law, 2005). This movement sought to restore to African Americans the rights of citizenship guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The words civil rights often raise images of Martin Luther King Jr. delivering his soul-stirring “I Have a Dream” speech before the nation’s capital. "The practical cost of change for the nation up to this point has been cheap," Martin Luther King Jr. conceded “(LITWACK, 2009). Martin Luther King Jr., and other leaders of the movement anticipated, the movement provoked gains not only for African Americans but also for women, persons with disabilities, and many others. Organized efforts by an African American, W.E.B. Du Bois, who exhorted blacks to fight for the rights was...

...is concerned with identifying the points of similarity and difference between honorifics in Modern Standard Arabic and English with regard to structure. It also aims at giving a brief account of the term honorifics and how are honorific expressions realized in both languages. It is hypothesized that the structure of honorifics in Modern Standard Arabic is different from that in English. 1. The Concept of Honorifics: Honorifics are derived from outputs of politeness strategies where these directly or indirectly convey a status deferential between speaker and addressee or referent, where they indirectly convey such a status deferential, as in French Tu / Vous pronouns do via the general strategy of pluralizing in order to impersonalize (Brown and Levinson 1978: 183). 1 Honorific Expressions in Arabic and English with Reference to other Languages Hashim Sa'doon Saleem Al-Ni'aymi Honorifics have been defined as “politeness formulas in a particular language which may be specific affixes, words, or sentence structure” (Richard et al., 1985: 131). Languages which have a complex system of honorifics are, for instance, Japanese, Mudurese (a language of Eastern Java), Hindi, and Arabic; English, on the other hand, has no complex system of honorifics, but there are few cases of compound honorifics; e.g. professor doctor, dear sir, etc. (ibid.: 131). Irvine (1995: 1) points out that “linguistic honorifics are forms of speech that...

...Zora Neale Hurston wrote her stories about human experiences. In her stories people experience love, hate, forgiveness and betrayal. Her stories also tell of people’s relationships and feelings. Also, she provides her readers on discrimination and racial inequality which were popular at her time. She wrote about these issues from her own experience and her own feelings. “Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the grand-daughter of slaves” (Hurston 762). Besides, some of her stories had happy ending where characters achieved their entire goals and found their way to joy. However, death sometimes takes place in her stories. It is bringing some changes into the characters’ lives. “The Gilded Six-Bits,” “Sweat” and “Magnolia Flower” explores relationships between men and women through racial inequality in Hurston’s time. In “The Gilded Six- Bits”, the author looks at Joe and Missie May’s relationships through race. At that time black people were discriminated against by white people. Majority of the black people were unequal in society. In some parts of the country they didn’t have the right to vote. Langston Hughes says “ In Mississippi the state spends nine times as much for the education of each white child as it does to educate a Negro child, yet the Negro population equals the white, and the wealth of the state is based on the labor of Negroes in the sun of the cotton fields” (Hughes 768). From the beginning of the story, Zora Neale Hurston writes about...

...driving should be mandatory nationwide My intention for you to take from this speech is to inform you why it is a good idea to banned all cell phone usage while driving. It was normal for people to drive drunk and not bother to wear a seatbelt 50 years ago. Eventually, everyone realized how bad of an idea this was and now driving drunk and not wearing a seatbelt are both illegal. Today, many argue that texting and talking on phones while driving is just as bad, if not worse, than driving drunk. Back in 2006, the University of Utah found that, "... people are as impaired when they drive and talk on a cell phone as they are when they drive intoxicated at the legal blood-alcohol limit" of 0.08 percent, which is the minimum level that defines illegal drunken driving in most U.S. states. Companies like AT&T have created campaigns that encourage cell phone users to avoid texting while driving at all costs. Using a cell phone while driving is now illegal in certain states across the country. "Thirty-eight states have laws restricting or outlawing the use of electronic devices while driving," U.S. Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood said last year. But people still use their cell phones while driving. Image how a two minute conversation on phone while driving could change your life or the life of another. A crash can occur in less than one second, but could affect you or someone else for life. There are a thousand ways to die in a crash, but every one of them is permanent...
