...Analytical Essay ”In defense of black rage: Michael Brown, police and the American dream” Not a long time ago, all the newspapers had a great cause to write about; a white police officer shot a young, black and even unarmed man, named Michael Brown. This triggered a great anger among the Afro-American people, and especially Brittney Cooper, “That story is only plausible to people who believe that black people are animals, that black men go looking for cops to pick fights with.” Her anger did the fact, that she wrote the contribution to debate: “In defense of black rage: Michael Brown, police and the American dream” on the website “www.salon.com“, August 12th 2014. But how does she manage to get her message out, and is she succeeded? Brittney Cooper is written about a problem, which has been affecting the United States for many years. And she is not the first one, who tries to make a difference. She complains the still on-going suppression of the Afro-Americans. “We are weak. We are tired. Of being punching bags and targets for the police.” The writer makes it clear, that this suppression has been going on for far too long, and the Afro-Americans are tried of being the target zone, without having the ability to resist. Therefore is the Afro-American woman Brittney Cooper mad. And she is writing mostly to white people. The white people, who cannot understand the Afro-Americans’ anger. The white people, who cannot understand the looting in Ferguson, which she did not support...

...upheld a Louisiana law requiring restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and other public places to serve African Americans in separate, but ostensibly equal, accommodations. Thus, African American people staged boycotts with other white people who believed in and like black people. Although this helped many black people get the same equal rights as white people when being served at a public place. This also changed the way black people were looked at in the same way as white people. In summary the case judgement Plessy v. Ferguson helped colored people with getting the same rights as white people in public places (Plessy v. Ferguson). Brown v. Broad of Education case was about the unfair ways of how the different races were harassed in school. This happened because African American children were given poor learning environments and the...

...Fabia, BSBio3 August 13, 2015 Balabac Mouse Deer April 6, 2008 General Description The small, Balabac mouse deer or Chevrotain does not belong to Family Cervidae, the true deer family, but is a member of the Chevrotain family. Chevrotain is a French word meaning “little goat”. When meat is cooked with “ogsom”, a fruit used to remove the characteristic odor of the mouse deer, the natives found it delicious. Its consumption by the locals caused endangerment to the population. Physical Characteristics Balabac mouse deer are ruminants without horns with small canines oriented sideways. They have horizontally-oriented pupil adapted to night activity. The body is generally covered with brown fur, with blotches of dark-brown and white bands at the throat. The ears stand erect with white undersides. Habitat The above mouse deer was captured near the shore when dogs cornered it. It is however difficult to find during the day. It is known to occur in dense areas of primary as well as secondary forests. At night, they could be detected using a flashlight because their eyes shine brightly. They may also be encountered along roads bound by thick forests. A native recounted that the mouse deer lives in its burrows sometimes protected by pythons which co-inhabit with it. When disturbed, the mouse deer takes refuge in its burrow while the python lies in wait to deal with the intruder which eventually becomes its prey. Food Tubog, a tree with hard, berry-like fruit which grows...

This dish is created from a list of ingredients with emphasis on texture, colour, taste, balance, nutrition and presentation. With this criteria in mind I set out to produce two menu items, one entree and one main, that utilised as many ingredients as possible from the list provided and that encompassed the above elements. Starting with the listed proteins as the central components to each dish, I then took into consideration the season and how best I could utilise my strengths. Inspired by the composition of a dish from La Chapelle, London I began with my entree and developed a concept using the lighter of the two proteins the John Dory and Scampi. To create my main dish, I explored the best cooking method suited for the cut of meat available, the beef cheeks. I then made the decision that beef cheeks are best braised as this enhances the flavour of the meat and ensures it is tender. With my cooking technique selected I then utilised the list of ingredients available to build and create flavours that would compliment this. This report will set out to provide further insight...

...are enjoying themselves chatting and drinking. Whereas, women in the painting are likely to be prostitutes or lady of escort services, judging by their pompous outfit and accessories. Some of them sit in front of the table companying men while others are wandering around, looking in the mirror fixing their headpiece. Throughout the painting, the artist dominantly used dull neutral colors like black, grey, brown with hint of teal hear and there. The artist restricted him/herself from using wide range of bold colors in order to avoid having color itself as the main focus of the painting, but the message behind. You will noticed that the artist painted the face of the woman in the right bottom corner with teal and pale white contrasting with her black dress, the purpose is to create deliberate emphasis which grasp the attention of the audience to the facial expression of her. Although the use of teal color suggests peacefulness and calm, looking into her eyes, you will sense that she is actually trying to tell people something as if she is very tired and helpless. Summary: Color has taken up a crucial position in this painting that affect audience’s feeling towards it. Rather than using intense solid colors, the artist incorporated moderate lightness and darkness in the painting so as to create value preventing it to be flat looking. By comparing the color of the faces, it could be determined that the light source comes from the right. You can see that the face of the woman...

Compare and contrast the typical participants of white collar crime against the participants of other types of illegal acts 3. Discuss the role of technology in white collar crime and how its role may create differences from other forms of crime. 4. Analyze the role of “opportunity” and how it contributes to white collar crime. Provide specific examples to support your response. When Edwin Sutherland first began his study/analysis under the Traditional Summary Reporting System, there was a limited amount of information available on White Color Crime. The white-collar offenses that are measured are fraud, forgery/counterfeiting, embezzlement, and all other offenses. Because white-collar crimes are not Index crimes, the only information available on these offenses is arrest information, which includes age, sex, and race of the arrestee. Additionally, all other offenses arrest category is very limited in its ability to measure the white-collar offenses included in its counts. This is due to the inability to differentiate the white-collar offenses from the others that also fall in this category. Based upon the most recently published data from the FBI, the arrest rates for the offenses of embezzlement, fraud, and forgery/counterfeiting are much lower than the arrest rates for property, crime, or for total crimes in general....

...Brown v. Board of Education Ronald Still Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Brown v. Board of Education Background The Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education dates back to 1954, the case was centered on the Fourteenth Amendment and challenged the segregation of schools solely on the basis of race. The Brown case was not the only case of its time involving school segregation, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was leading the push to desegregate public schools in the United States (Gold, 2005). Brown v. Board of Education was a consolidation of four cases that had made their way through the court system. It was 1950 and Linda brown was just seven years old, she lived in Topeka, Kansas and was African American descent (she was black). Each mourning Linda traveled 21 blocks and crossed through a dangerous railroad yard to get to school. Her journey to school took an hour and twenty minutes. White children who lived in the same neighborhood only traveled 7 blocks in a considerably less amount of time (Gold, 2005). Linda’s father Oliver filed a lawsuit against the Topeka Board of Education arguing that he wanted the same conditions for his daughter (Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 2009). The case was heard by three judges in Federal District Court, and they ruled against the plaintiffs, the case went to Circuit Court of Appeals and then to the U.S Supreme Court (Topeka, Kansas: Segregation in the Heartland). ...

...denied such because Perez was racially classified as white and Davis as negro. “In this proceeding in mandamus, petitioners seek to compel the County Clerk of Los Angeles County to issue them a certificate of registry (Civ. Code, § 69a) and a license to marry. (Civ. Code, § 69.) In the application for a license, petitioner Andrea Perez states that she is a white person and petitioner Sylvester Davis that he is a Negro. Respondent refuses to issue the certificate and license, invoking Civil Code, section 69, which provides: ". . . no license may be issued authorizing the marriage of a white person with a Negro, mulatto, Mongolian or member of the Malay race." At the time, under California state law, no marriage license could be issued between a "white" person and a "negro" person. Petitioners contend that the statutes in question are unconstitutional on the grounds that they prohibit the free exercise of their religion and deny to them the right to participate fully in the sacraments of that religion. They are members of the Roman Catholic Church. They maintain that since the church has no rule forbidding marriages between Negroes and Caucasians, they are entitled to receive the sacrament of matrimony. The case went all the way to the California Supreme Court and the couple was able to successfully overturn California’s miscegenation laws. The California Supreme Court in Perez v.

...On May 17, 1954, in the case of Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, the U.S. Supreme Court ended federally sanctioned racial segregation in the public schools by ruling unanimously that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." A groundbreaking case, Brown not only overturned the precedent of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which had declared "separate but equal facilities" constitutional, but also provided the legal foundation of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Although widely perceived as a revolutionary decision, Brown was in fact the culmination of changes both in the Court and in the strategies of the Civil Rights Movement. (see case summaries below) The Supreme Court had become more liberal in the years since it decided Plessy, largely due to appointments by Democratic Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. Though still all-white, the Court had issued decisions in the 1930s and 1940s that rendered racial separation illegal in certain situations. Now consolidated under the name Brown v. Board of Education, the five cases came before the Supreme Court in December, 1952. The lead attorney on the case, Thurgood Marshall, and his colleagues wrote that states had no valid reason to impose segregation, that racial separation — no matter how equal the facilities — caused psychological damage to black children, and that "restrictions or distinctions based upon race or color" violated the equal protection clause of...
