...Chapter 1: Dishonoring the Dead[edit] In the first chapter of this text, Kozol examines the current state of segregation within the urban school system. He begins with a discussion on the irony stated in the above quote: schools named after leaders of the integration struggle are some of the most segregated schools, such as the Thurgood Marshall Elementary School in Seattle, Washington (95% minority) or a school named after Rosa Parks in San Diego, California (8000% minority). Kozol notes that most of the students within these schools are unfamiliar with the actions of the minority leaders their schools are named after. Kozol goes on to point out the lack of segregation within the urban communities that surround these schools, specifically mentioning the residential segregation in New York City, which matches levels from the 1960s. Introduction and Chapter 1 Summary The introduction talks about how Jonathan Kozol began teaching and he introduces the book. Kozol lets the reader know what to expect when reading the book. Chapter one is about how schools named after someone in history like Martin Luther King Jr. or Thurgood Marshall are not integrated, they are still segregated. Kozol also mentions how Dr. King said, "as long as the Negros basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one," (33), but right now minorities are moving from larger ghettos to smaller ones. They are trying to get out and move into the suburbs, but when they move out they end up in the...

Nick O’Brian – Junior Internal Auditor, recently college graduate, nephew of the Lee Marchetti – Chief Financial Officer of O’Brian Software. After recently graduating college two months prior, Nick O’Brian is hired as a Junior Internal Auditor for his Aunt Amelia’s company, O’Brian Software. O’Brian Software has been in operations for five years and is a multi-million dollar publicly traded company that provides both software and consulting services to its clients.

Realizing “her specialty is software, not accounting “, Aunt Amelia hires Lee Machete to be Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of O’Brian Software after the firm’s initial public offering (IPO) three years ago. Nick notices a significant amount of unearned revenue the balance sheet and wonders if O’Brian Software is being overly conservative in estimating the amount of deferred income.

Amend the War Powers Resolution Center for Constitutional Rights The Center for Constitutional Rights is dedicated to advancing and protecting the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Founded in 1966 by attorneys who represented civil rights movements in the South, CCR is a non-profit legal and educational organization committed to the creative use of law as a positive force for social change. CCR uses litigation proactively to empower poor communities and communities of color; to guarantee the rights of those with the fewest protections and least access to legal resources; and to train the next generation of civil and human rights attorneys. Formed in order to work hand in hand with people’s movements, CCR has lent its expertise and support to a wide range of movements for social justice. We strive to complete the unfinished civil rights movement through targeting racial profiling and other modern-day manifestations of racial and economic oppression and through combating discrimination that is based on gender or sexuality and struggling against government abuse of power.

...which was an ingredient used in producing local soft drinks. In 1986, PepsiCo introduced Lehar 7UP and Lehar Pepsi, even though they experienced strict government rules and guidelines, because they wanted to “get an early entry while the market is developing”. In 1990, Coca-Cola attempted to reenter the market. In order to integrate themselves into the Indian market and better compete with the local companies, both Coca-Cola and Pepsi participated in local festivals, released TV campaigns featuring local celebrities and got local athletes to promote their products. Other measures that the two American brands utilized included lowering the price of their products and introducing new product categories. However, just as they were gaining market share, an issue regarding the presence of pesticide residue in their drinks resulted in several partial bans in various Indian states. Their silence about it and their slow response caused them to lose important customers. Coke also faced another controversy with one of its plants in Plachimada, which was allegedly using sparse water supplies. II. ANALYSIS A.

...a preface to this assignment I would like to say that it is virtually impossible to inset all the solutions to a nations criminal justice problems in a one page (per county) summary. With the diverse nature of all 4 countries, to be able to “fly” into a foreign land at the request of the leader, and be given “Carte Blanc” to handle their criminal justice problem is about as impossible as implementing all that is needed to fix their criminal justice system issues within the perimeters of this paper. I would actually like to be alive in 2025 and to see this happen (other countries allowing us to handle their criminal justice systems) it might be akin to the forefathers of this country (Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton etc) seeing the implementation of the automobile as a transportation model for the people. I’m sure they could have never imagined people transporting themselves they way we do as people today. This is how I feel about the prospect of the four other nations allowing someone from the U.S State Department handle their individual criminal justice affairs. The problem that we face not only in the United States but worldwide is a highly heated debate. How do we handle this crisis that we are all encountering? It would be simple to only have one nice little problem that when corrected the system worked fine. This would be similar to a car with a flat tire. Nothing is wrong with the main components (engine, transmission, ect) but when the tire is replaced with a new one...
