...The lack of affordable housing in Granville negatively impacts lower and middle-income families, and by extension, hurts the entire community. The high cost of housing prohibits middle-income professionals, employees in restaurants and other local businesses, as well as many professors at the local college to live in the community in which they work. The dearth of reasonable priced housing in Granville creates an environment that lacks diversity. Generating living opportunities for people of all socioeconomic levels would benefit Granville by establishing a more diverse and healthy place to live for a wide range of people. The average income of a restaurant server is twenty-two thousand dollars per year; the median income of a Granville...

...Granville T. Woods Scholars Program Essay I too was nearly prevented from advancing my career just as Granville T. Woods was. Not being able to accept my partial (65%) scholarship to Howard University did hinder me from my original plan but I chose not to give up. I chose to continue to work my way up in my education and career at BCCC instead of taking the simple way out by joining different groups such as the work force, or the military. My goal is to abide at this school for two years and to transfer to a 4 year university. The main component of my goal is the money, and this scholarship would help in achieving this. My family is a normal Middle class family that makes normal middle class wages, and just like most middle class families we have debts that seem to never end. This is the reason why I could not attend Howard University. With the debts that my parents still have they chose to not add on anymore anymore stress by taking out more loans but to instead give me another option, Community College. Even though they have said they can pay for Community College I would prefer them not to have to deal with anymore hassle. Me receiving this scholarship would eliminate the worry of my parents paying for my education and would enable me to focus solely on doing well in school. I am a graduate of Oxon Hill High school's science and technology program. This entails that I had to test to get into the school and if I was accepted I would be agreeing to a more...

...but for example to have a dog in the house is truly good for protection like burglary or a cat can keep rodents away. Unfortunately, people do not think of a pet more than protectors or somebody to have around the house. It is not so ordinary to have a pet these days and people used to them so much that they do not think about how many health relating benefits pets bring to a household. Back in 18th century, Dr. William Tuke in his mental institution, that located in York, England, conducted an experiment that used animals in therapy (Perelle & Granville, 1993). His idea was to help patients to control themselves by having a dependable creature (Perelle & Granville, 1993). He was the first person to record such an experiment (Perelle & Granville, 1993). After Dr. Tuke’s success in animal- therapy, many other facilities from different countries begun to use the same method with positive results (Perelle & Granville, 1993). In 1969 Dr. Boris Levinson also noticed the positive effect of his dog on children therapy sessions (Kruger & Serpell, 2006). Dr. Levinson organized studies to show how beneficial animals are and insisted to continue studies in this field (Kruger & Serpell, 2006). He was the first who used term “pet-therapy” (Kruger & Serpell, 2006). Since then, many doctors and therapists recommended adopting...

...situation makes such provisions ineffective and utopian, thus making it all the more imperative to interpret the constitution and the laws in a pro-woman and anti-subordinate way. In a patriarchal society where power is freedom, women due to their inferiority in democratic participation have marginalised freedom. Gender is not a difference, rather a hierarchy, to be dealt with as a matter of supremacy and subordination. Purposive interpretation, focusing on the reason, motive, end that a provision seeks to achieve interprets Article 21 as enabling the development of human personality giving us the right to live with dignity, conferring upon us the right to access all such conditions which make life liveable with dignity. According to Granville Austin the meaning of “protection” in the clause, “equal protection of rights”, places upon the “government the positive responsibility to give...

...Ben Franklin talks about his reasons for writing the Autobiography, saying that since you can't live your life over again, the next best thing is to recapture it by writing it down. He describes his early life in Boston, his love for reading, and his job training. Franklin apprentices as a printer to his brother James, but he hates working for him, and runs away to Philadelphia at age sixteen. In Philadelphia, Franklin begins working for a printer named Keimer. The governor, Sir William Keith, offers to set Franklin up on his own as a printer and sends him to England to get supplies. Once in England, though, Franklin finds out that Keith's a liar and a cheat – and he's stuck in London without money or a way to get back to America. Franklin works hard at Watts' printing shop, learns about his craft, and makes some important connections. After he saves up enough money, he returns to America with his friend Mr. Denham, who's offered him a job. Franklin works hard for Denham until his employer dies, and then he has to go back to Keimer. That doesn't last long, because Franklin quits. He decides to start his own business with another former Keimer employee, Hugh Meredith. Even though there's competition, they get a couple of lucky breaks, like printing the Pennsylvania Gazette. After Meredith bows out, Franklin gets some contracts to print paper money, and his rival Keimer retires. As the business really starts to take off, Franklin marries his old flame Deborah Read. He also helps...

...Past to Future 1 My Life’s Story: Past to Future PSY 202 Dr. Louise Framan Past to Future 2 My Life’s Story: Past to Future As you read this paper you will get a better understanding of the kind of women I am. You will read how my family and life experiences shaped me into the person I am today. I grew up in a small town called Louisburg. Louisburg’s population is about 5,000. Also the town is north of Raleigh, North Carolina. I have a lot of family in this town. My parents live here. I’ve lived in Louisburg almost my whole life. I’m now 34 and I got a birthday coming up on Sunday the 4th of September. I now stay in Raleigh, North Carolina. Growing up in Louisburg was a blessing for me because my parents always supported me in what ever I wanted to do in life. My mom was more strict than my dad. You would think that my dad would’ve been the strict one because he is a man, and plus I’m his little girl. Just the opposite, I could get away with things with dad more easily than with my mom. Especially growing up, mother always wanted to know who I would be talking to on the phone, who I was going to be hanging out with. My mom was an old fashioned woman. She had to meet all my friends including my boyfriends, she would call all my friends parents to see if the story I had told her was accurate or not, if the story didn’t sound right I didn’t go out anywhere I had to stay home. My dad on the other hand was a different story., I was daddy’s...

...HISTORY NOTES SLAVERY IN THE BAHAMAS. CONTINUED The Haitian Revolution- The Haitian Revolution was the only successful revolution in the Caribbean in which slaves totally overthrew the shackles of slavery. It started in 1791 in the French Colony of St.Domingue (Haiti).The whites and Mulattoes (mixed race) were at war over privileges by the revolutionary government of France. The people wanted three major things: Freedom, Equality and Fraternity (unity). The slaves under the leadership of Toussaint L’Ouverture, seized the opportunity to capture vital areas and to fight the French .By 1795, he became known as “Master of the Colony”. He encouraged the ex-slaves to restart the development of the economy. However, he was captured in 1801 by the French and placed in a French prison until he died of Pneumonia in 1803. [pic] Fighting continued until January 1, 1804, when the island was declared independent by Jean-Jacque Dessalines. He renamed the island “Haiti” which means “Mountainous” in Arawak language. The island serves as a beacon of hope to slaves in other islands of the Caribbean who were still living in bondage.

...The “father of adolescence,” Granville Stanley Hall is best known for his prodigious scholarship that shaped adolescent themes in psychology, education, and popular culture. Granville Stanley Hall was born in a small farming village in Massachusetts, and his upbringing was modest and conservative. He has produced over 400 books and articles and had become the first president of Clark University, Massachusetts, but his greatest achievement has been his research work on child centered research, education, and adolescence to a society in transition. He was instrumental in the development of educational psychology, and attempted to determine the effect adolescence has on education. “The Contents of Children’s Minds,” an 1883 publication of Hall helped him establish himself as the leader of the “child-study” movement, which aimed to utilize scientific findings on what children know and when they learn it as a way of understanding the history of and the means of progress in human life. Searching for a source of personal and social rebirth, Hall turned to the theory of evolution for a biologically based ideal of human development, the optimum condition of which was health. His pure and vigorous adolescent countered the fragmented, deadening, and reutilized qualities of urban industrial life. Hall theorized adolescence as the beginning of a new life and welded this vision to a scientific claim that this new life could contribute to the evolution of the race, if properly administered...

...Of Poetic Relations Emily Dickinson is know as ; “America's greatest poet.”(Crumbley) Many people know her name. Many know her work. Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts on the 10th of December of 1830, she died on May 15, 1886 . Her work was first sighted when published in 1890, and though the recognition was not great in her time her production of approximately 1,775 (Crumbley) pieces are now very well known. Emily was one of a group of four children, but the biggest influence according to historians had come from her brother William Austin Dickinson. William Austin Dickinson was the older brother of Emily Elizabeth Dickinson. He came to also be the supporter of Emily's reading pleasure. Born in an era of intellectual importance for men and women Ms. Dickinson was highly educated and attended school. Her father, the “head of the household” as it was always during that time period, decided the fortune of the children. Though he wanted his children educated and very well read, when it came to the education of the women in the household that education was still limited. From a very young age many describe Emily Elizabeth Dickinson to have been different from girls her age. According to the information provided by The Emily Dickinson Museum, “ A wave of religious revivals in Dickinson's teen years addressed her Calvinist society's concern for the disposition of the human soul. Although Dickinson's friends, sister, father, and eventually brother all joined the...
