...The grassroots activism is not a group of people who are on places looking for violence, grassroots activist is crowd of people fighting for something to be truly believed by them reaching out to establish a change. A grass root activist is one who sets out their minds to make a change as betterment for one’s self or others being affected by the same problem. Grassroots activism contributed to changes in public policy and influenced the success of the civil rights movement after World War II by creating a national view of the racial division in the south, starting boycotts and protest in favor of desegregation and creating equality, and having forming programs to help involve African Americans in the U.S government. The Civil Rights Movement...

...maintain themselves, saving you a lot of effort. It has saved people dozens hours of labor, hundreds of dollars in lawn care expenses and tax payments every year, while also protecting our shared environment. Grasscycling is the easy way to a healthy lawn and a great way to recycle valuable nutrients for free. It combines a mowing plan that calls for cutting turf areas with greater frequency without removing the clippings, and low-input watering and feeding. LAWN CARE HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY 2 1. What is grasscycling • Grasscycling is a proven, simple and natural approach to lawn care. • Grasscycling (grass-recycling) is the natural recycling of grass by leaving clippings on the lawn when mowing; the grass clippings are left on the lawn to decompose quickly, they contain 80-85% water and releasing valuable nutrients that returned back into the soil. • Grass clippings add beneficial organic matter to the soil, which provides free fertilizer and produces healthy, green lawns. • Grasscycling saves time, money, and protects the environment...

...The case describes Carrefour's entry and expansion strategies into the South Korean market and the reasons that led to its exit from the country. The company failed to localize its stores, and the products sold, according to the needs and preferences of Korean consumers. Carrefour chose to venture into the Korean market on its own, without a local partner, due to which it failed to understand the market and was unable to select good locations for its stores. The company employed most of its top management personnel from France, which was not viewed favorably by local employees, so too often Carrefour faced problems from local labor unions. After a decade of unsustainable operations and cut-throat competition, Carrefour finally announced the sale of its South Korean business in April 2006. The case is structured to enable students to: (1) understand why successful multinational giants like Nokia, Google, Nestle and Carrefour have failed to make an impact in the South Korean market; (2) study and analyze the entry and expansion strategies of Carrefour in South Korea; (3) study why Carrefour performed below expectations in South Korea; and (4) analyze why Carrefour was unable to attract enough customers in South Korea, in spite of implementing some of its international best practices in the country.

...Instructor’s Name Course Title Date Social Movement Introduction The concept of participatory democracy entails direct involvement of the people in decisions concerning politics, especially those which impacts their lives. This idea underpinned the activities of most social movements between 1960s and 1970s. Its emergence was mostly characterized by establishing democracy at workplace or industries, a method regarded as useful in allowing workers to participate in decision-making. However, the concept ceased to narrow on democratizing workplace as social scientists modified it to a theory which is applicable in restoring democracy in the society (Bachrach et al. 1). The modified concept focuses on achieving egalitarian redistribution of power in the society, a process which would lead to greater effects on the agenda of democratization. Social media can be cited as one of the achievements of participatory democracy because a lot of information can be gathered and shared across the populations and countries. This article focuses on tracing the influence of participatory democracy on women liberation as well as highlighting its impact on the 21st century social media. The Influence of Participatory Democracy on Women Liberation Officially, women liberation can be traced back to 1960s and should not be confused with the women movement in United States around the same time. In fact, most social scientists regard women movement as a unique branch of women liberation. The difference...

...There is no key individual or organisation that has not been exaggerated to some extent. The success of the Montgomery bus boycott was due to a combination of organisations and key individuals. So to say the success was by one person or organisation would be dismissing the roles and significance of the other factors. These factors range from the role of organisations such as the NAACP to individuals such as Rosa Parks. Martin Luther King’s role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott was being a leader. The setting up of the NACCP in 1909 illustrates that rising social tensions regarding the advancement of coloured people in the sense of state endorsed racial discrimination, and public segregation had been exhausted for over half a century. This suggests, if the desire to protest didn't exist then the boycott would never have succeeded regardless of King's existence and efforts, as stated by King “There comes a time when time itself is ready for change.” So the success of the Montgomery bus boycott depended on how strong the black communities desire to keep on protesting and was not just a single man regulating them. Since desires to protest were already implemented before King’s existence, it would only be natural to exaggerate the role of ‘the single man that made it happen.’ In 1913 the NACCP showed that it could organize a respectable opposition against government policy such as the Jim Crow laws; over a decade before King was even born. As King stated “I just happened to be here”...

...nationalism with a pride linking to a spirit akin to Greek democracy, the rule of Roman law, and a cultural and educational reform movement often referred to as Renaissance humanism. This American nationalism focused on the expression of modernism, technology, and academic classicism. Renaissance technological advancements include wire cables supporting the Brooklyn Bridge in the State of New York, along with cultural advancements found in the Prairie School houses, Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in architecture and sculpture. The political heir of American nationalism evolved with the Gilded Age and New Imperialism school of thought. The American Renaissance produced major influential literary works from some of the most brilliant minds in U.S. history, including Ralph Waldo Emerson's the "Representative Man (1850)", Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlett Letter (1850)" and "The House of Seven Gables (1851)," Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick," Henry David Thoreau's "Walden (1854)," and Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass (1855)." American Renaissance Literary Masterpieces The American Renaissance, a literary and cultural period circa extending from 1820 to the mid-1860s, gained inspiration from the unresolved issues of the American Revolution. The American Renaissance literary style was coined as "Romanticism," an international philosophical movement that redefined the perceptions of Western cultures, and seldom refers to the preconceived notions of love. Some important authors arising...

Adapted with permission. Part 1 Size grades of soil are named sand, silt, and clay, which includes colloids. Size grades are defined using the metric system. Use Figure 4.8 from the textbook to fill in the following chart. Specify the type and size and description of the particle. In some cases, particle size will be less than some value or greater than another value. For instance, gravel is greater than 2.0 mm. Name Size Description Gravel >2.0 mm Rock that is unconsolidated with fragments that have a general particle size range Sand 0.05 Sand particles are largerly formed by the physical break up of rocks. Sand has small surface areas and have an almost negligible role in the chemical activity of the soil. Sand particles are chemically insert or inactive. Silt 0.002 Silt is formed by physical weathering. Finer silits, which approach colloidal sizes, may exhibit some of the characteristics properties of clay. Clay Below 0.002 milimeters The clay fraction differs from the sands and silts in that it is composed predominantly of minerals formed as products of secondary weathering. The rock mineral will go through change before becoming clay minerals. Colloids 0.0001 – 0.00001 milimeters Like other soil particles, some colloids are minerals, whereas others are organic.

...How important was Martin Luther King to the passing of the civil rights and voting acts 1964-65 The role of Martin Luther King Jr. in the passing of the Civil Rights/Voting Acts has been greatly disputed within the historical community. Some historians such as Anthony Badger argue that there was 'no person more important' than King, whilst others, such as Clayborne Carson believe the opposite: that even without King the civil rights movement would have 'followed a course of development similar to the one it did'. Differing from both these beliefs, there were factors more important than King in the passing of these acts, however, King was far from an inefficacious factor as Carson suggests. Rather he was an important political giant who was (along with his Southern Christian Leadership Conference) an instrumental aid to a number of vital incidents that massively helped catalyse the passage of the acts. Incidents such as the Selma march and the subsequent "Bloody Sunday" a well as his role in the Birmingham and Washington marches. His role as a prominent activist and talented orator added to King's importance as it allowed him to proliferate ideas of peaceful protest and civil disobedience to the masses. However, despite King's distribution of ideas to the masses, it is the masses themselves, or rather the local leaders of them, with whom the greatest credit for the passing of these acts must be placed due to the pressure they placed on the presidency to enact legislation. What's...

...organized. Finally, try to figure out if organized labor will continue to be the norm in the 21st century. Support: 1. What exactly is organized labor? 2. How did it all get started? 3. Who benefits from organized labor? 4. What has happened to the work force since organized labor? 5. Will organized labor continue to be the norm in the 21st century work force? Conclusion: Organized labor was started from a grass root action from people that wanted to make a difference. It has come a long way since the days of child labor in the coal mines in the Appalachian Mountains and the colonial frontier. Our ancestors etched out a plan for the work force without even realizing how huge it would become in its finest “hour.” Today’s work force continues to benefit from the days of yester years to a certain degree. But then on the other hand organized labor unions will never be the way they were thirty (30) years ago either. Organized labor and organized labor movements are continually changing. Today’s work force are people that work from their home and/or from other countries at call centers. The days of working 7 to 3, Monday through Friday are slowly going out the window. Can organized labor be defined by one simple sentence, such as a...

...set the stage for these legal amendments to be possible? The Civil Rights Movement was one of the most significant events in the modern history of the United States that has formed the basis of many of its core values and laws today. The Civil Rights Movement unofficially ended with the passing of the long awaited “1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act” which legally saw an end to the racial discrimination faced by African Americans. However the historiography of the Civil Rights Movement has “undergone some serious revision” since 1965 as it ‘gained popular appeal.’ Initially the Civil Rights Movement was “romanticized” and considered to be a “heroic narrative of moral purpose and personal courage by which great men and women inspired ordinary people to rise up and struggle for their rights” such as the famed Martin Luther King, who was painted as the ‘driving force behind the movement’ ,President Lyndon Johnson and Kennedy and organisations such as ‘The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People’ (NAACP) This idea of the federal government, prominent leaders and organisations playing the defining role in the passing of these bills soon became less plausible in the 1970’s and 1980’s as the “second generation of scholars suggested that the focal point for investigation should shift to local communities” and the ordinary people, commonly known as “grass roots activists” who staged less-prominent protests in their small towns. Unfortunately...

...the elements of conventional voluntarism, is based on ideology rather than mere idealism. It aims at achieving development and social justice rather than relief and welfare. Therefore, the tools, techniques, approaches and objectives of modern voluntarism differ from that of the conventional. Modern voluntarism strives to change the social, economic and political position of the poor, the deprived, the oppressed and the weak. In the final analysis, therefore, it aims at redistribution of power, status and wealth. W i t h i n this broad mission though, activities, approaches, ideologies, methods, forms of organisations, techniques and strategies differ widely. Some NGOs are large, others are small: some work directly with people at the grass roots level, others perform support functions of research, documentation and training. Some implement concrete development programmes, others mobilise people to demand their rights and justice. Some like to replicate and...

...Name: Aunso, Jemimah Lea, S. Course and year: BSED 1st 1.What is dance? Dance is a performance art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. This movement has aesthetic and symbolicvalue, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture.[nb 1] Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period orplace of origin. An important distinction is to be drawn between the contexts of theatrical andparticipatory dance,[4] although these two categories are not always completely separate; both may have special functions, whether social,ceremonial, competitive, erotic, martial, or sacred/liturgical. Others disciplines of human movement are sometimes said to have a dance-like quality, including martial arts, gymnastics, figure skating, synchronized swimming and many other forms of athletics. 2. What are the types/kinds of dances? Types of Dance - Categories Here are some of the most popular dance categories and types: Ballroom Dances These dances started appearing first in Italy, during the early years of Renaissance. Popularity of this kind of entertainment quickly swept over the Europe, United States and the World.

...Anti environmentalism: Backlash against increased environmental regulation by corporations and conservative groups is called anti environmentalism. Anti environmentalism in last four decades: Backlash against environmental consciousness first started in late 1960s and early 1970s and then in late 1980s and in early 1990s. During 1965 and 1970, corporations started anti environmental movement due to government policies like, environmental legislation which targeted at constraining environmentally damaging business activities During 1970s, all corporations particularly in U.S. formed a united body against environmentalism, putting their competitive rivalry aside. Strategies adopted by corporations against environmentalism: Corporations advertised their views against environmentalism, through telephones, letter writing campaign and through using media, for those activities corporations took advice from professionals and spent huge money for campaigning Throughout 1970s and 1980s new environmental legislation was legally postponed by the activities of corporation, but at the end of 1980s public concern about environment rose due to local pollution events such as pollution of Sydney beaches by sewage and scientific discovery of Ozone depletion, these all events made regulatory agencies very tougher, so government enacted new environmental laws and regulations During 1990s, corporations formed front groups for manipulating public opinion, lobbying politicians and thereby convincing...
