...Plessey vs. Ferguson Plessey vs. Ferguson is another case that deals with segregation. In 1892 Homer Adolph Plessey was thirty-year old shoemaker from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was only 1/8 black and his whole family passed as White, but the State of Louisiana considered him Black. Plessey wanted help fighting the new Separate Car Act that separated Blacks from Whites in the railroad cars. You could serve 20 days in jail or even a $25 fine if you sat in the wrong railroad cart. Plessey purchased a first class ticket and sat in the “White’s Only” car and waited until someone said something to him. The conductor consulted Plessey and he refused to move to the “Colored” car which resulted in him being arrested immediately and released the next morning. Plessey received an attorney name Albion W. Tourgee and they went to trial a month later and Tourgee argued that Plessey civil right under the 13th and 14th amendment was violated. The case was later brought up in Supreme Court. This case relates much too today because in a way segregation still stands. There are some buildings, restaurants, stores, and even employment that segregates base on race. More so they aren’t out front but behind the cover up its present. Personally I’ve encountered incidents where I order food from a restaurant that only “Whites” eat in and the food itself was delicious but the amount of food that was given on the plate didn’t match up with the food that was given on the “White” man plate. I feel its...

As the conch's worth slowly fades it may have brought out savage, betrayal, and desire in all the wrong ways out of the boys. Individual vs. Society is a rough way to look at this situation being there is no adults to keep the way to live, society believes in.

...Preschool 4 year olds during my clinical observation at the Daycare. Stages of Development: Eric Erikson: Initiative vs. Guilt. During this stage the child are focused on purpose, exploration and egocentric ideas and speech. During this period the preschooler experiences a desire to copy adults around them, take initiative in play situations, make up stories using barbies, toy phones, cars, playing roles like “Ninja” and “Pirate” They use imagination and fantasy during play and use parallel play. The also explore the world by asking “WHY” and “HOW” to understand new things.The preschoolers all become involved in the oedipal struggle. If they get frustrated over desires and goals they experience guilt. If they are unsuccessful at achieving a goal they become aggressive and may act is disapproving behavior. Piaget: Preoperational- Egocentric During this stage the child is selfish and believes they are the center of attention. They begin to feel that what they say is most important and all attention should be focused towards them. They often speak when others are speaking and get frustrated when they are not listened to. In the classroom, I observed many of these characteristics of the preschooler. Upon my arrival they all ran to me and all wanted me to themselves, offering their choice of play. They all agreed to give me “Breakfast” where I sat at a play kitchen table in their play kitchen. They fed me an adundance of “play” food. This was a characteristic of imagination...

...Ethics Discuss Massachusetts Up-skirt Case The morning of August 11, 2010 started out, presumably, like most mornings for Michael Robertson. He boarded Boston’s Green trolley at about 8:30 A. M. and strategically selected his seat. Robertson sat holding his cellular phone near his mid-section when another male passenger viewed the image on Robertson’s phone screen; the inner thigh of the unsuspecting skirted woman sitting across from him. The man reported the incident to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). Later that same day at approximately 5:00 P. M., a female passenger not only witnessed Robertson’s crude tactics, but took pictures of him in the act. She then forwarded these photographs to the MBTA. Having seen the photographs of Robertson, the Transportation Authority quickly assembled a sting operation to put an end to his lewd behavior. At approximately 5:00 P. M. on the evening of August 12, 2010, Robertson entered the trolley and remained standing in the stairwell with a bench seat two to three feet in front of him. A female undercover Transit Police officer, wearing a dress, sat directly across from Robertson. Within moments a small red display light on his cell phone illuminated, indicating a video recording in progress, as the camera lens focused on the crotch of the undercover officer. After approximately one minute of recording, other Transit Authority Police officers arrested Robertson and seized his phone as evidence. On December 8, 2011...

...course of time, and though constantly evolving, has seen many adversities. Overcoming segregation, culture diversity, and the struggle to implement programs that create equality, shows the desire to build a better future. However, have we truly learned from our problems of the past or are we headed to a state of regression? It’s no secret that our nation is built on a dark history of slavery and segregation. However, the second the first slave owner taught his slaves English to better communication and increase productivity, he also inspired the desire to learn and sparked a flame of change. Though this change was on the rise the need for segregation was still enforced. In 1892 Homer Plessy a Creole man who could easily pass for white, sat in a white’s only car of the east Louisiana Railroad and proclaimed his was African American. Plessy was arrested for his actions, and in 1896 his case was made that the law which stated separation as long as equal was unjust and went against the 13th and 14th amendment. Unknown at the time his arrest would pave the way for a major educational change (Womer, 2002). Plessy’s case addressed a very serious issue as it showed that Whites reserved the best for themselves and left the scraps for African American’s, so how in fact was anything equal? This question would way heavy on the minds of many and would open major flood gates. In 1931 Robert Alvarez would fight for educational equality in the Lemon Grove school district and would successful...

It is only in Acts 2 that the founding gift of the Holy Spirit is described and the initial fulfillment of Jesus’s promise to his followers that they would be infused with supernatural power…..Jesus promised them that the Holy Spirit would be of advantage to them and would bring them many spiritual gifts. (Cole, p.249) describes spiritual gifts as God empowering his people through the Holy Spirit for kingdom life and service, enabling them in attitude and action to live and minister in a manner which glorifies God. One of the spiritual gifts that the disciples received was speaking in other tongues. (Acts 2 vs 4) states that on the day of Pentecost, they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to...

...The case of Plessy vs. Ferguson established the separate but equal doctrine that was prevalent throughout life in the South for over fifty years. The case involved a man by the name of Homer Adolph Plessy, who was a colored shoemaker from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was only 1/8 black and 7/8 white, but under Louisiana law he was considered black. It also involved a white Judge by the name of John Howard Ferguson. In 1892 Plessy was asked by the Citizens Committee which was a political group made up of African Americans and Creoles to help them challenge the Separate Car Act, which by Louisiana law separated blacks and whites in railroad cars. If a black was caught sitting in the white section of the cars, they could get either 20 days in jail or a $25 fine. He agreed to help the Committee. On June 7, 1892, Plessy purchased a first-class ticket at the Press Street Station in New Orleans to go to Covington, Louisiana. The railroad didn’t support the Separate Car Law, because of the expense and trouble involved with it. They chose this station for that reason and the station was in on the test as well. He sat in the white only section and waited for the conductor. When the conductor arrived he told him that he was only 1/8 black and that he refused to move to the colored car of the train. A hired detective told Plessy he was violating the law but he still refused. Since he would not move to the colored car he was arrested and jailed overnight and released on bond the next...

...INTRODUCTION In case of transfer of land, pre-emption simply means right to purchase first. In other words, the act of buying a plot of land before of ahead of others. Section 96 of The State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950 and section 24 of The Non-Agricultural Tenancy Act, 1949 have described the provisions for pre-emption. Section 96 of The State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950 was substituted by section 2 of The State Acquisition and Tenancy (Amendment) Act, 2006. However, provisions of pre-emption under section 96 of The State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950 and section 24 of The Non-Agricultural Tenancy Act, 1949 shall not take away the right of pre-emption conferred on any person by the Mohammadan Law as per section 96(17) of The State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950 and section 24(10) of The Non-Agricultural Tenancy Act,1949. A clear conception of the terms “holding” and “co-sharer” is necessary for a better understanding of pre-emption. As per section 2(13) of The State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, “holding” means a parcel or parcels of land or an undivided share thereof and forming the subject of a separate tenancy. Assume “X” dies leaving three sons A,B,C and a land of same holding consisting of 6 plots. Each son will get his part as per the law of inheritance. Now three sons have sold a plot to some “D”. Now ABCD are co-sharer of the land of the same holding. While ABC have became co-sharer by inheritance, D has became co-sharer by purchasing. However, if...

...The Plessy Vs. Ferguson court case was an unjust and predjudice trial. An African American man who sat in the first-class section of a train on June 7, 1892 was asked to be seated in the Jim Crow Cars although he had already bought a first-class ticket. After refusing peacefully, Plessy was arrested and trial was set for five months later. The case ultimately moved up to the United States Supreme Court. Plessy Vs. Ferguson hearing would “challenge the definition of race itself” and eventually the case was overturned in 1954. The United States Supreme Court’s ruling was an unjustified verdict based on relativism and deontological ethics. Homer Plessy boarded a train that was on it’s way to Covington, Louisiana. He bought a first-class train ticket and was well dressed, but he was not accepted into first class because he was an African American. The train conductor, John J. Dowling asked Plessy if he was in the proper coach not because of his train ticket but because of his race which wasn’t easily seen. Plessy was so...
