...Sydney Chick 3rd period 9-11-12 The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History By: Jennifer Price Jennifer Price reveals her true outlook on the famous plastic pink flamingos. She lays out her opinion by including one central tone, excellent word choice, and examples to explain her insight on the American culture and society. Throughout her entire essay, Price is informing her audience that she believes the entirety of the 1950s American culture and society was fake and “plastic”. Price displayed a very strikingly obvious sardonic tone, mocking everything about the1950s. Her use of “but no matter”, was an enormous indicator of her derisive comments and examples of the American culture. Another example Price used in her essay while analyzing the trendy pink flamingos was, “but no wonder”. With that being said, she was implying the pink of the fake flamingo was even brighter than that of a real one, after asking a rhetorical question pointing out the absurdity of the overly excessive bright pink. Price incorporated numerous analogies and examples to beat around the bush. She for example said, ‘The plastic pink flamingo is a hotter pink than a real flamingo’, trying to engage the reader to think deeper and have them correlate the ‘ hotter pink than the real flamingo’, to the fake and plastic society she believes in. Through these examples, she is forcing the reader to realize, American society is hiding behind this fake identity, just like those...

...Throughout U.S history African Americans have been named more than one unpleasant word and experienced a trial of slavery that changed the view of the world forever. Being called colored because they were of color was one of the names. They were also called other unpleasant names that are to horrible to repeat. Slavery happened over more than a century ago before the founding of the United States which was in 1776. In the United States slavery was formed as a slave labor which existed as a legal institution in North America. It is said that slavery was a principle issue leading to the American Civil War in 1896. From the time slavery first started children were bought and sold into slavery. From the 16th through the 19th century were shipped as slaves to the Americans. White men owned African American slaves and would beat and rape the women for little to no reason at all. If they dropped a grain of rice they got beaten and tortured, whipped and abused so horribly that it would be impossible to go back to there field and work the hours and hard work that they did. But they had to do it from sunrise to sunset every day with little to eat or drink. Most slaves were of African descent. Then discrimination showed its effect when laws were created to disenfranchise African Americans from voting. What made it illegal for people throughout the United States to have slaves was the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States. Africans fought in every war that the United States had throughout...

...In American history, many people have discriminated based on race. Whether you are white, black, Mexican, or Asian some were judged based on race. Racism was a big issue and still to this day, it exists. There was so much hatred between whites and blacks. Most whites had more than others did. It started a few centuries back. Before Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and Tamir Rice, there was Emmett Till, a primary example of how much hatred there was back in the1950s. “Emmett was always a happy and kind kid,” according to his mother years ago. Emmett Till born on July 25, 1941, in Chicago Illinois, to the parents of Mamie Till-Mobley and Louis Till. His father died when Emmett was three while serving in the United States military. He...

...offenders off the streets and the substances out of the hands of Americans. The criminals that are being sentenced to these long terms deserve the time they are given because they chose to break the U.S. law and came into contact with illegal controlled substances. By giving these mandatory minimum sentences, the criminals are off the streets and away from the pressures of drugs and crime where they used to live, and have the chance to regain a new life through prison rehabilitation. The mandatory minimum sentences are given not only to help punish criminals individually, but also to help the judicial system by way of giving the judges a guideline and a standard to enforce in court. As discussed in "The House I Live In", the start of the1950s brought a large influx in narcotic drug use in the United States. This greatly supplemented the already high drug use in urban America. Although the drug use was centered in a very small majority of the population, it was putting a large burden on society. With this burden, the United States politicians...

...1. Is use of least-cost input combinations a necessary condition for profit maximization? Is it a sufficient condition? Explain. ANSWER Employment of least-cost input combinations is a necessary but not sufficientcondition for profit maximization. It is necessary because a failure to operate with aleast-cost input combination means that costs could be lowered and profits increasedat any given output level. It is not a sufficient condition because the cost-minimizinglevel does not incorporate any information concerning demand relations, andtherefore provides no information about the optimal level at which to operate: that is,information concerning demand relations must be added to the analysis to determinehow much to produce for profit maximization (an optimal level of output).In short, employment of a least-cost input combination will result in an optimal production of a target level of output. Conversely, employment of inputs such thatMRPi= Pi for each input will result in an optimal production of an optimal level of output. 2. “Output per worker is expected to increase by 10 percent during the next year.Therefore, wages can also increase by 10 percent with no harmful effects onemployment, output prices, or employer profits.” Discuss this statement. ANSWER This statement is correct so long as the projected increase in output per worker issolely due to an improvement in labor productivity and provided that the demand for output is also expected to rise. Gains in labor productivity...

...The idea for the creation of Toyota Motor Company began back in 1924 when Sakichi Toyoda invented and patented the Toyoda Model G Automatic Loom. A loom is an apparatus for making fabric by weaving yarn and thread. The Model G Automatic Loom was the first of its kind to use the Jidoka principle, which is where a machine stops itself once a problem occurs. The Jidoka principle and the money made off of the sale of the Toyoda Model G Automatic Loom were used to begin what we now know as the Toyota Motor Company. The Toyota Motor Company was founded in 1937 by Kiichiro Toyoda, Sakichi Toyoda’s son. The original name for Toyota Motors was Toyoda Industries. The first engine for Toyota’s vehicle line was the Type A engine, created 3 years earlier in 1934. The actual vehicle, the Toyoda AA, was created just one year before they officially opened. The Toyoda AA sales price was 3,350 yen, which was 41 U.S. dollars. This was about 5 dollars less then Ford and GM cars, which in 1936 was a lot of money. In August of 1937, Toyoda ran a public competition for a new logo and decided to change its name to Toyota Motor Company. This was easier for their customers to pronounce and it took eight brush strokes to write in Japanese. The significance of eight strokes is that it is a lucky number in the Japanese culture. Starting in September 1947, Toyota’s small-sized vehicles were sold under the name of Toyopet. Other Vehicles sold by Toyota were Toyopet SA, Toyopet SB light truck...

...tributaries: Sutlej, Ravi and Beas flow through Punjab and the other three rivers of the Indus basin - Indus, Jhelum and Chenab run through the territory of Jammu and Kashmir (Harvard, 2011). Since the partition of the British Indian empire in 1947, Pakistan and India have fought over the province of Punjab and the state of Kashmir, which resulted in a partition of the area between the two countries. The water dispute is also closely related to partition of the Kashmir region, too. The six rivers run through India which controls Jammu and Kashmir, before reaching Pakistan and the part of Jammu and Kashmir governed by Pakistan (Harvard, 2011). The geological allocation described above brought out significant disadvantages to Pakistan in early the1950s as a consequence of the political conflicts between the two countries. The help of the World Bank together with other third parities made possible the signing of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) between India and Pakistan in 1960, relieving political tensions on the both sides. Due to the high demand of water resources over sixty years and the insufficient supply, the Indus Water Treaty has faced harsh criticism resulting in water wars among other political conflicts. Considering the strong dependency on...
