...1. Jim Crowe laws were never really well-known in the northern parts of the U.S, like Detroit, Michigan or Chicago, Illinois in the early 1920s. These laws were to stop segregation in the southern states of the U.S. Even though segregation is not enforced in these northern residential areas, there was always a division between the whites and the blacks. During WWI, the blacks started coming to the neighborhoods of Paradise Valley in Detroit, just passed 8 mile; regardless of the segregation laws or not. Doctor Ossian Sweet was an African American man who was motivated to change the ways in Detroit. He studied at a college in Ohio and then attended Howard University where he received a medical degree specializing in gynecology. He then moved to Detroit because of the different job opportunities. Dr. Sweet did not realize what he was getting himself into while purchasing a home in a white American neighborhood. White Americans did not want African Americans living in the same residential areas. If so, the whites would leave or start violence in the area. Dr. Sweet and his family moved into a house on September 8th, 1925. He knew there would be some sort of violence as soon as they arrived at their little house on the corner of Charlevoix and Garland and knew that little protection from the police of Detroit was all that they would receive. By the 2nd night...

...WOMEN IN COMBAT AN INDISPENSIBLE ARMY 21 COMPONENT OR A SIMPLE CASE OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY? Your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable – it is to win our wars. Everything else in your professional career is but corollary to this vital dedication. All other public purposes … will find others for their accomplishment; but you are the ones who are trained to fight; yours is the profession to arms. General Douglas A. MacArthur to the West Point Graduating Class of 1962 INTRODUCTION Like the United States military, the infusion of women into the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) was announced with great fanfare and the proclamation of the politically-correct notion that “women have as much a role to play in the Nation’s defence as the men”. Thankfully, unlike the US military, the inclusion of women into SAF did not result in controversies and scandals that the US military faced in recent years as exemplified in the Tailhook[1] and Aberdeen[2] scandals. Amidst continued declining birth rates and greater economic opportunities, the participation of women in the SAF has been generally accepted as an inexorable development within the organisation without much ado, trusting that the authorities have performed the necessary analysis. Is this naturally the case? Are there larger issues that we need to grapple with, given our unique circumstances, noting that up till today, the US military is still debating on the wisdom of opening up military career opportunities...

...established an institution called the Ateneo de Municipal. The Instruction of Jesuitical system was considered advanced. Their methods were less mechanical and rigid in discipline. Jesuits introduced physical culture as well as art cultivation, such as music, drawing, and painting. Agriculture, commerce, and mechanics were part of their vocational courses.

Jose Bech as a “man of high stature; lean body, bent forward; quick gait; ascetic physiognomy, severe and inspired; small, sunken eyes; sharp Grecian nose; thin lips forming an arch with its sides directed toward the chin." During his second year in Ateneo he had the same professor as in the previous year; but instead of lodging outside the City, he resided at No. 6 Calle Magallanes.
