...Fred Astaire is one of the great jazz artists of the twentieth century, he is best known for his brilliant dancing in the movie musicals of the 1930s. Fred Astaire introduced “Night and Day” on stage, and his recording of the song was a #1 hit. He performed it again in the 1934 film version of the show, renamed The Gay Divorcee, and became his signature pieces. The construction of “Night and Day” is unusual for a hit song of 1930s. Most popular tunes then featured 32-bar choruses, divided into 8-bar section, unusually with an A AABA musical structure, the B section representing the bridge. The vocal verse is also unusual in that most of the melody consists of single note with inconclusive and unusual harmonies underneath. Repeated notes in the verse is an indication of Astaire’s obsessions Night and Day; You are the one; Only you, beneath the moon, and under the sun The melody is just the same, one note either played or held for two and one-half measures. All the repeated notes flatten the melody, which transfers the emphasis to the harmonies and Latin beat. Instrumentation: piano, bass, drums and guitar Performance style: Rhythm: The tune begins with a pedal (repeated) dominant with major seventh chord on flattened sixth of the key, which then resolves into dominant seventh in the next bar. Harmony: Jazz is genre of music with an emphasis on improvisation, and swung syncopated rhythms. It often utilizes elements of the blues, and often uses standard show tunes ...

...Alfred North Whitehead’s statement “What is morality in any given time and place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like, and immorality is what they dislike” (Solomon & Higgins, 2009, p.273). As for business, it can have ethical standards, even though businesses are not moral agents. This statement is true because to work well, any business has to incorporate an element of morality. Morality in business is evident when a company provides equal opportunities for all employees. As a result, morals in a business setting act as a guide for employees and managers to work conscientiously. The value of ethical standards in business is that it provides employment opportunities for potential personnel without putting into consideration such aspects as sex, race, sexual orientation, religion, age, nationality, and color. If business adopts the above ethical standards, it concurs with Whitehead’s statement of morality. The reason is that people will like this business and associate it with terms of work and consumer relations. In my opinion, the profit alone cannot be the bottom line of business, even though it is essential for any commerce to make a profit to prove that it is operating in the right direction. To be successful, business has to balance its goals and client service as vital aspects that contribute to a good return. The most significant goal of business is to make money, but there are other less tangible goals that are intrinsic. For instance, when business...

...[pic] Fred W. Riggs: Contributions to the Study of Comparative Public Administration Howard E. McCurdy, American University [pic] In 1962, the Ford Foundation presented the Comparative administration Group (CAG), a special division of the American Society for public Administration, with one-half million dollars to study methods for improving public administration in developing countries. Public administration had passed recently through a period of widespread optimism about the power of administrative reform. Many practitioner-scholars believed that administration could be improved through the implementation of correct principles. Scarcely 25 years earlier Luther Gulick had suggested that experts were on the verge of discovering principles of administration as immutable as the laws of physics and chemistry. Scholars had rediscovered Woodrow Wilson's dictum that good administrative practices did not depend upon the type of regimen which they were practiced. The United States had achieved great success in reconstructing the economies of Europe and Asia through instruments such as the Marshall Plan. President John F. Kennedy had established the Peace Corps as a means of bringing "trained manpower" to less developed lands. With these trends to inspire them, scholars both prominent and apprentice traveled to foreign countries to share their knowledge about public administration. Many arrived in countries newly emerging from the grip of colonialism and struggling to establish...

...United States was a court case that arose in 1944. In the early stages of World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt issued the Executive Order 9066, which granted the power to the United States military to remove Americans of Japanese descent from their homes and forced them into internment camps. Fred Korematsu, an American-born citizen with a Japanese lineage, refused to leave his home in California, resulting in his arrest. He appealed his conviction and his case made it all the way to the Supreme Court. A 6-3 majority of the Court upheld the conviction placed on Fred Korematsu. Civil liberties were a huge subject for Justice Hugo Black, the speaker for the 6-3 majority, yet he agreed with the policy of internment. Like most people of the time, Justice Hugo Black believed that setting the Japanese American free would be like giving the enemy an easy way to infiltrate the United States. I believe that the internment of the Japanese Americans was a precautionary necessity in order for peace of mind and...

A excellent orator, dedicated editor, bestselling author, and presidential advisor, Douglass crusaded for human rights as an abolitionist, a strong advocate for women's suffrage, and a voice for social justice. Douglass was born into slavery as Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey to an African slave mother and white father in Tuckahoe, Maryland in the month of February, 1818. He was separated from his mother when he was only a few weeks old and was raised by his Grandparents. When he was six years old, his grandmother took him, without warning, to his master’s plantation to live. At age eight, he was sent to live with his master’s relatives, Hugh and Sophia Auld. Sophia started to teach him to read and write as a child, in which she was violating the state laws towards slavery. It was under the instruction of Mrs. Auld that young Frederick first learned the alphabet and did not last long as Mr. Auld discovered these lessons. Mr. Auld quickly put a stop to the lessons and left a profound impression on young Frederick. To continue learning Frederick was aware that it would bring him unhappiness but also bring him more power over his enslavers. Rather than accepting...
