...Philosophy 360 African American Philosophy Dr. Felton O. Best Ain’t I a Woman? By Sojourner truth For my portion of the group project I decided to focus on and analyze the speech Ain’t I a Woman given by Sojourner Truth. This speech was given by Sojourner Truth at the Women’s Convention in the town of Akron in the state of Ohio in 1851. Sojourner Truth uses both biblical and personal experiences in order to connect with the audience, both men and women. She gives several examples, some of which are rhetorical and others which are straight forward, to get her point across. Throughout the speech she repeatedly asks the crowd “Ain’t I a Woman” as a way to remind them that she is one. Her first point made during the speech which I would like to place a focus on is when she says “Dat man ober dar say dat womin needs to be helped into carriages, and lifted ober ditches, and to hab de best place everywhar. Nobody eber helps me into carriages, or ober mud-puddles, or gibs me any best place! ……… Ain’t I a Woman. “ I believe that making this statement, Sojourner Truth is insinuating multiple things. The first point being that although men preach about showing chivalry towards women she has yet to be the recipient of such actions. Now some may argue that she might also be making a racial reference as well. Truth is arguably saying that white men don’t treat black women with the same respect as they do white women just because of their skin color and uses the example of...

...categorized as many different things, whether that’s movie productions, paintings/drawings, music productions, theatre performances, etc. “Tolstoy does not define art in terms of its ability to express form and beauty, but instead defines art in terms of its ability to communicate concepts of morality. For Tolstoy, aesthetic values are defined by moral values” (Tolstoy, Para. 1). Popular things that are considered to be art are usually paintings, moldings, etc., but there are plenty of other categories that is art. Art must have five attributes that all go hand in hand. Art must be beautiful, meaningful, flow, easily accessible, and requires talent. The R&B Soul Music category may not seem as art to some; but it in fact is art. Aaliyah’s album Age Aint Nothin But A Number, is relatable Art that speaks to the mind and soul. Her music speaks to the mind and soul simply because music is emotion. Emotions could be sadness, happiness, the feeling of love, etc. One allowing themselves to open up to...

...STEVEN PAUL JOBS Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California. Growing up in Mountainview, the heart of Silicon Valley, he exhibited behavior problems while in elementary school. During fourth grade, Job’s teacher would bribe him with candy and money in order to curb his behavior. Reflecting back on these years, Jobs recounts that if such behavior continued, it would “absolutely have landed me in jail” (Leander, 2008). He found school to be so easy that he was able to skip 5th grade and move directly into Middle School. He found middle school chaotic and persuaded his parents to move to Los Altos in 1967 where he could attend the much nicer Cupertino Junior High School. This area (Los Altos, Cupertino, and Sunnyvale), was full of engineers and with this emerged many young startup companies (e.g., Hewlett-Packard). Job’s introduction to the world of electronics came during High School with the discovery of electronic hobby kits, Jobs realized that the electric world was not as complicated as it first seemed and that electronics was an interesting field. It quickly became his passion. He began attending lectures conducted by the Hewlett Packard Company (HP). This further fueled his appetite for the field and eventually he found summer employment at HP. It was here that he met future co-founder and co-adventurer Steve Wozniak. 33 Journal of the International Academy for Case Studies, Volume 16, Number 7, 2010 Jobs graduated Homestead...

...Andrew, I really enjoyed your take on Sojourner Truth’s speech “Aint I a Woman.” I’ll tell you what, not only did she know how to end a speech, but she sure did know how to start one too! She began striking fear into the hearts of men attached to these social norms. These norms being that women needed protection, and having to be attached to men in order to stay protected. The speech continues by basically stating men think women are weak and that men are stronger, however, women are just as strong, if not stronger than some men. I think this was an important part of her speech, because it really started to push back against the norm in society. She wasn't afraid to put herself out there and show she wasn't weak, and didn't need a man to...

...In a romantic relationship, times aren’t always so smooth. There will be arguments, there will be fights – you will struggle. Even through rough times, you should never lose hope, love, or never stop fighting. That’s what true love is. I have been able to relate to “Aint Nobody Taking My Baby” by Russ. In his single, he raps/sings about the rough times of a relationship. The first line in his masterpiece “I don’t care about an argument I’ll still be here tomorrow” always reminds me never to doubt my relationship. I am always there for my partner… always. It is also a need to remind her that she is important and that I will always be there, especially in an argument. On the other hand, others may drift off and try to find some sleazy hoe...

...The lyrics in the song ain’t no rest for the wicked by Cage the Elephant are about how people do illegal things to survive and get ahead in life. The first verse is about how a young women propositions a man for sex while he was walking down the street. The second verse is about a mugger who robs the same man for all of his money. While the last verse is about a preacher going to jail for stealing money from the church. All of the criminals behavior from the song can be reasoned through Gary Becker’s idea of Homo Economicus. For example the women from the first verse who is a prostitute has the incentive to live that kind of life because it is a way to earn money for a living. The man from the second verse of the song is a mugger and has the...

She was interviewed by Miss Irene Robertson of the Federal Writers Project of Works Progress Administration for the State of Arkansas. It was found in Professor Karl’s link to the Library of Congress’ website and can be found in Volume II, Arkansas Narratives, Part I. Mattie Aldridge is listed as being 60 with a question mark. Her true age may not be known out of incomplete records. She was born in Tennessee but now resides in Hazen, Arkansas. Her account of slavery begins with her speaking about her families roots. Her mother was also born in Tennessee while her father was born in Mississippi. She proudly states that “that there aint nary drap of white blood in none of us” referring to her and her four brothers. Mattie also recollects her grandmother being a story teller and telling them...
