Seeking military education, Washington copies many of Braddock's orders into one of his personal letterbooks.

Human Trafficking in the United States of America I.Introduction I’ve chosen to cover this topic because now more than ever news specials are being broadcast and even though each story as similar as the next they’re very captivating. The statistics on this issue is overwhelming and it involves just about every type of criminal act known. It’s become an absolute phenomenon in the United States of America. Criminal Justice entails the following in a criminal activity; gathering evidence, apprehending the accused, conducting a trial, making defense, judgment after proving the crime and eventually punishment. There are many crimes that deserve criminal justice (Legal-Explanations.com, 2004-2007). Human trafficking which is nothing more than modern day slavery is just one of many heavy crimes that deserve it. II. Body A. Trafficking doesn't happen in other parts of the world somewhere else; sufferers of trafficking are right here in the United States, suffering horrendous human rights infringements. The United States did not set in motion the monitoring of trafficked individuals until 1994; it began being covered in the Department’s Annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices...

...open in a cry-for-help sort of shape. With such detail, an artist can tell a story without saying a single word. Such talent in doing so truly makes these sculptures and statues beautiful. Another aspect of beauty that cannot necessarily be shown on statues is color. Imagine living in a word where you couldn’t admire the green grass or blue skies. Without color, life would be dull and lack liveliness. It is colors that adds emotion and richness to our experiences and perceptions of things. Colors are often used to represent traits of something or someone. Take the United States flag for example. The blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice, the white stands for purity and innocence, and the red is meant to symbolize hardiness, bravery, and valour. Another prime example of the importance of color is in any painting of the Virgin Mary. The picture to the right, called The Visitation, by Musée Condé, shows the Virgin Mary clearly depicted in a blue robe with a vibrant gold halo around her head. As discussed in class, in almost every picture, painting, or sculpture, the Virgin Mary is always dressed in blue to signify purity and tranquility. Artists often use a “combination of hues that engender light” to draw attention specific areas of the art (100). For instance, background of The Visitation is composed of duller, more Earth tone colors in order to accentuate the main aspect of the piece, the Virgin Mary and her visitee. Eco later describes that “blue became a prized color”...

...in March 2001 , is actually a narrative presentation of the quest of Jim Collins and his team as they conducted a research study regarding company performance which rooted from a single question: Can a good company become a great company and, if so, how? This seed of question was planted in the mind of Collins when confronted by Bill Meehan that his book “Built to Last”, which was about “how you take a company with great results and turn it into an enduring great company of iconic stature”, is considered useless in the world of business. As pointed out by Meehan, the companies written in Built to Last “never had to turn themselves from good companies into great companies” as they were always great. Challenged, Jim Collins started the five-year research of how a good company can become great. The study of Collins turned out into another breakthrough as it was systematically planned and well-structured; from six long months of search and analyzing financial reports of hundreds or even thousands of companies, identifying which companies made the leap from good results to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years and still taking into account their independence to the industry performance in which they belong, presenting and debating ,debating and debating until they’ve found eleven good-to-great companies to further study. The research, backed up by strong evidences, proved that companies with histories of being nothing special can indeed outperform...

...Emma Contreras March, 6, 2024 8M Holocaust Research Paper “Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator, but, above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.” Yehuda Bauer, a Holocaust survivor, stated this inspirational quote. It is stating that no one should have to be a victim of any difficult situation, and no one should be the one doing it to someone. However, the worst of all is being a bystander. You should do something about it, not just watch it happen. This relates to the Holocaust. The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah in Hebrew, was a time when Jews were discriminated against. Germany was in serious financial trouble due to the effects of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. Germany needed somebody to blame for their...

...Tattoos are Art Patti Fuller DeVry University Professor Schnee Research Paper December 12, 2010 Great art inspires. Art can evoke strong emotions; compassion, joy, sorrow, anger...the list is extensive. In the words of the artist, Mark Rothko (2010): The fact that people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate those basic human emotions...the people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I had when painting them. And if you say you are moved only by their color relationships then you miss the point. I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on. (Art Quotations) Fig. 1 Lopez, J. paco1 Fig. 1 Lopez, J. paco1 Interpretation of art is subjective and depends on the individual viewing it. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and one man’s deviant, anti-social, rebellious behavior, in getting a tattoo, is another man’s gaining a piece of traveling, semi-permanent art. Ancient tattooing often signified a rite of passage, coming-of-age or tribal affiliation, while tattoos in modern sub-cultures are more like badges and tattoos today have evolved from the anchors and pin-up girls sailors once sported to the reproductions of the masters and fine art works created by a new breed of masters, elevating tattoo to art. Tattooing is one of the most ancient forms...

...North Luzon Philippines Analyn Ikin V. Salvador-Amores ABSTRACT In the early 16th century, traditional tattooing is widespread in the Philippines, but very little is known or written about the practice. Sources for the study of traditional tattoos in Northern Luzon are very inadequate and merely make vague statements on the function and symbolic meaning of tattoos, as well as the relationship between the practice and culture as a whole. The statements likewise reveal a distinctly ethnocentric deportment. Until today, tattooing and tattoo designs in the Cordilleras are best understood within the context of headhunting. Headhunting was the only known reason for tattooing, and, to this day, no one knows exactly what tattoos signify. This paper provides insights into the roles and functions of the tattoos, and how the tattoos (batek) become cultural symbols of the intricate rituals brought about by community regimens of the Ilubo, Kalinga. No longer practiced, the batek of the Ilubo is a visually powerful rendering of symmetry and unity of designs. Batek now serve as an archive of culture for the group. Keywords: Tattoo, rites of passage, body adornment, identity, Kalinga INTRODUCTION My anthropological interest in body ornamentation, specifically in traditional tattoos, began in 1990. I met an old Bontoc woman who sold balatinao (red rice) in one of the old market stalls in Baguio City. She was known to me only as Apong (grandmother), and her tattooed arms fascinated me each...

...THOUGHT PAPER 2 THE HUBBLE The earth is given to us, to grow, to survive, to breathe and to live; it’s for our own advantage. But we often take this privilege for granted, probably because its given for free, we did not earn it or strive to deserve it. We value it less; however, one of the beauty that The Hubble showed, was that with trillion miles away, galaxies and stars, non-showed existence of life; it was only the Earth, our home that showed the wonderful blessing that God has given us. How can we then give back to the Earth? How can we balance the need of demand and supply? The Hubble documentary portrays the Earth is the only one who has life, it suggests that one must take care of our planet with the purpose of having a home for future generations to come. The Hubble is a space telescope that is located above the surface of the atmosphere specifically in the low earth orbit far above rain clouds and light pollution. Hubble has an unobstructed view of the universe; scientists have used The Hubble to observe the most distant stars and galaxies as well as planets in our solar system. Hubble takes extremely sharp pictures, the most detailed visible-light image ever made of the universe’s most distant objects. It is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well known as both a vital research tool and a benefit to public relations for astronomy. Hubble’s existence marks the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo’s telescope. It was built by the United...

...“Things Fall Apart,” by Chinua Achebe SUICIDE: Honor vs. Abomination Alecia Williams Critical Reading, Semester 2, Class RE 260 G Professor E. Singleton May 10th, 2012 Abstract Is it an abomination to God or is it an honorable sacrificial offering unto the Lord to commit suicide is any form or for any reason? Suicide has been a contradicting issue since the dawn of times. In many countries suicide can be viewed as an offering unto God. Many Middle Eastern countries view suicide as an honor. To them such an act requires bravery and courage, and in return they shall be rewarded with eternal life dispersed by the God that they serve. This research paper will access and outline whether or not suicide can be viewed an a honor or an abomination base on the famous novel “Things Fall Apart,” by Chinua Achebe, in relation to the protagonist of the story Oknonkwo. The Qur’an and the Bible But does suicide deem honor and compensation in any country or any religion; factually? Actually suicide is looked down upon in both the Christian and the Islamic/Muslim religions. The Qur’an clearly states that “O ye who believe! Do not kill yourselves, for truly Allah has been to you Most Merciful. If any do that in rancor and injustice, soon shall we cast him into the fire.” (Qur'an 4:29-30) The Bible also states that “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought...

...Chapter 1 The Problem and Its Background This section discusses the background of the thesis research entitled. “--”. The general and specific problems, significance of the study, scope and limitation, the framework of the study, and definition of terms used are presented here I. Introduction Fan fiction also known as, fanfiction, fanfic, FF, or fic is a defined term for fan labor about stories of characters or simply fictional characters and settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator. Works of fan fiction are rarely commissioned or approved by the original work's owner, creator, or publisher; also, they are almost never professionally published. Because of this, many fanfics written often contain a disclaimer stating that the creator of the fanfic owns none of the characters. Fan fiction, therefore, is defined by being both related to its subject's canonical fictional universe and simultaneously existing outside the canon of that universe. Most fan fiction writers assume that their work is read primarily by other fans, and therefore tend to presume that their readers have knowledge of the canon universe (created by a professional writer) in which their works are based. Fan fiction, as the name suggests are works of fiction created by fans. Ranging from books to movies, eager aficionados re-create scenes and plots to fit their own fancy. While seemingly trite to some critics, the fan fiction community is a large and supportive...
