...The title of my research paper will be Modern racism. I choose this topic because of as an American that was born in Africa it is always something that has been an interest to me. I came to America around the age of seven. I was young, and coming from Nigeria we were not taught anything about racism. My views on racism in America didn't really come from studying the history of slavery and civil rights in America, but rather from personal experiences I went through. In elementary school even though I was taught the history of African American I never really understood the impact of slavery. I merely took what I was taught as part of the curriculum, which I needed to pass a test. I never really absorbed much from learning. Most of the racist...

...Before coming to class, we were assigned to read pages 51-60 in the composition guide. We were assigned these essays because they are researched argumentative essays. Our final paper coming up soon will also be an argumentative essay. The first essay I read was "Coloring the Workforce" by Valerie Keys. I found this essay to be very helpful. The essay not only talked about African Americans struggling in the workforce, but it focused on African American women. The essay gave very relevant examples and statistics which helped with its validity. There was also an abundance of sources at the end which help verify that the author did their research. The second essay I read was "Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Literature Review" by Vanessa Parslow....

...(“DuraBear”). Two factors have led to the company not employing any formal forecasting techniques. One of these is the sudden change in product mix, the other is the rapid growth has focused their attention on building capacity. The President of the company, Mr. Ralph Wada, has recognized the need for a more formal forecasting process as the company matures. He has expressed an opinion that forecasting should be as simple as possible and yet still meet the needs of the business. Mr. Wada wants to use the start of the new fiscal year (May 1) to initiate a more formal forecasting system. He has decided to focus on the two main bearing products which comprise 90% of their revenue. With no existing expertise in demand forecasting he has turned to a small consulting firm to recommend appropriate forecasting techniques, prepare a forecast for the next four months, and provide advice and training to an identified NCC employee in the Operations organization. Ms Ronnie Havens has exhibited an interest in statistical applications and has taken some courses in college which will serve as a foundation for taking on this new responsibility. Mr. Wada has also asked other staff members to assist in developing the forecasts. Mr. Jonathan Nguyen, Vice President of Marketing, has been able to provide external sales demand for the two products for the...

...Philip Hackett History Research Paper Professor Saperstein 4/30/15 Neutrality and Woodrow Wilson Woodrow Wilson, the leader of the progressive movement, was elected to be President of the United States in 1912. Amongst other accomplishments and struggles, the 28th President's greatest challenge would come in the form of World War 1. His legacy would begin as the man who kept us out of war and then the man who plunged us into it. Wilson had an impassioned stance of neutrality throughout his first term, when the war first broke out. But shortly after his re-election in 1916, the President would reconsider and urge Congress to join the conflict. So what caused the sudden reversal? Why did Wilson, who so vehemently supported neutrality, suddenly change his mind? In this paper, I intend to illustrate why the President made the decision to go to war. Utilizing newspapers, scholarly novels, and Wilson's own words, this paper will analyze his mindset and ultimate decision. It will demonstrate that Wilson was forced to take the course of action he took due to changing public opinion, increased German provocations, and the necessity for post-war power. Woodrow Wilson was...

...Mary Whiton Calkins Natalie Scrivens Katrina Ramos The field of psychology is one that seems to be dominated with the presence of men especially in the 18th and 19th century. The world was not focused on equal rights for women. Psychology did however have women who contributed greatly to the study and focus of theories and ideas that we still use today. In this paper I will discuss the life of Mary Whiton Calkins, theoretical prospective, and contributions to the field of psychology. Mary Whiton Calkins was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1863. She was the daughter of a Presbyterian minister and was the oldest of five children. Mary had a very close relationship with her family. She was especially close with her mother. Mary was very much the strong and independent type. She moved to Newton, Massachusetts at the age of 17. Her family built her a house and she would remain in that house throughout her life. Mary’s father was very adamant about her education. He knew that without him overseeing and designing and education plan that Mary would not get the education that she needed to be successful in a male dominated world. Her father made sure that she got the best education possible and he gave her education privately. Mary’s father’s dedication and supervision of her education would reap great benefits for her. All of his instruction allowed her to enter Smith College in 1882 with an advanced standing as a sophomore. Mary would however face a crushing...

...headed the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), through which almost all wartime military R&D was carried out, including initiation and early administration of the Manhattan Project. He is also known in engineering for his work on analog computers, for founding Raytheon, and for the memex, a hypothetical adjustable microfilm viewer with a structure analogous to that of hypertext. In 1945, Bush published As We May Think in which he predicted that "wholly new forms of encyclopedias will appear, ready made with a mesh of associative trails running through them, ready to be dropped into the memex and there amplified".[1] The memex influenced generations of computer scientists, who drew inspiration from its vision of the future. For his master's thesis, Bush invented and patented a "profile tracer", a mapping device for assisting surveyors. It was the first of a string of inventions. He joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1919, and founded the company now known as Raytheon in 1922. Starting in 1927, Bush constructed a differential analyzer, an analog computer with some digital components that could solve differential equations with as many as 18 independent variables. An offshoot of the work at MIT by Bush and others was the beginning of digital circuit design theory. Bush became vice president of MIT and dean of the MIT School of Engineering in 1932, and president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington...
