...September 11, 2001, the day 3,000 lives were stripped from innocent people during their daily routine at work. What was once a peaceful America where two buildings in the heart of New York City stood tall, was now a frightened and suspicious country. September 11, 2001 was the day that changed the lives of people everywhere; not just Americans, and not just those capable of comprehending what occurred that day, the world was changed forever. For those who did not die, but were present at ground zero, the location of the two plane crashes instantly became a site of horror where “their presence here fourteen years ago, continue to suffer from injuries and illness” (Francis). While many of us are emotionally scarred, these innocent people continue...

...of the following questions. Your responses will be assessed according to the accuracy of the content. Minerals 1. How do minerals affect society? Minerals are important to the society because minerals can be used to make pots, pans, buildings, counters and plates. 2. What is the difference between metallic and nonmetallic minerals? Provide two examples from each category and discuss their uses. Minerals are conveniently divided into metallic and nonmetallic groups, and then arranged in subdivisions according to the elements which form their main constituents. The nonmetallic minerals (carbon, diamond, coals, bitumen, asphalt, boron, sulfur, rock salt, etc.) lack the properties of the metallic minerals such as a bright metallic luster, hardness, density, and good conduction of heat and electricity. Mining 1. How are minerals extracted from the Earth and processed? 2. What are the different ways minerals can be mined? Provide a brief description of at least three types of mining. 3. What effect does extracting minerals have on the environment? Soil 1. What is your definition of soil? What is soil composed of? Why is soil important to the environment? 3.

...different ways in how trauma can affect people and how trauma can shape the music around us. In this paper, I will reflect on what trauma is and how it can affect people. I will then describe three events that occurred in The United States that had a significant impact on how music changes during periods of trauma. I will first inform you about the construction of the Cross Bronx Expressway and how it created Hip Hop culture. I will then look at what ideologies were promoted within country music after 9/11. Lastly, I will look at how Hip Hop artists utilized Hurricane Katrina to point out social injustices that remain in our country. What is Trauma? My definition of trauma is that it is a painful event that creates a lasting effect on someone. It can be physical, mental or emotional. The painful event can be either man-made or natural. An example of a man-made traumatic event would be the attack on 9/11 which killed thousands of people. An example of a natural, traumatic event would be Hurricane Katrina, which also killed many people and displaced thousands from their homes. Even though not all traumatic experiences result in death, death seems to be a consistent outcome from both man-made and natural traumatic events. Trauma and death can affect people differently. The difference can occur on a cultural level, community level, family level, individual level, even a generational level. Many cultures will deal with death differently. Western societies will usually try...

...The recent Black Lives Matter movement also involves the issue of collective memories and how they affect societal relations. Which the killing of several black and unarmed men, women, teenagers, and children, we need to examine why we these killings are happening and why we are so hesitant to do anything or even talk about the situation. In this case, is our collective memory of the Civil Rights Movement keeping us from facing this problem? Or in some way, is society willing to sacrifice black lives, which are seen as less important due to America’s history of slavery and segregation that we still subconsciously hold on to, in order to achieve some dubious “greater good” rooted in a slanted, biased view of history? Are blacks, and all underprivileged minorities, the “collateral damage” of American society? These are kinds of questions that Zinn’s re-imagining of history should inspire. Society as a whole needs to seriously consider its own history, the collective memories that it holds on to, why it holds on to it, and how that memory affects us...

...Olugbenga Folarin Racism is to believe that all members of a race have abilities or characteristics specific to that race especially to say that another race is inferior or superior to another race or races. (Prejudice and discrimination both come with racism too.) Racism is a global problem that needs a solution that will result in endless benefits. It affects all facets of society including the learning process, which especially affects people of color. Since the 1600’s it has been hard for the of African descent persons. In education they have had a hard time prospering, like in the 1600’s; of African descent being was not allowed to even learn. In 1870, 81% of African Americans in the United States were illiterate (when only less than 9% of white Americans were illiterate). But that was because only about 9% of the African American went to school, while 50% of white American children attended school. After this key point in history, the numbers improve and things get a little better but not much. In 1896, the Plessey v, Ferguson (Plessey was a man who could easily pass for white but was jailed for sitting in a white only train car when he took matters into his own hands to challenge the separate car act .He took them to court and they made great points but the supreme court still kept the “separate but equal” law because they thought it was constitutional ).Supreme Court decision to pass equal but separate laws went through and it only made things worse for the African...

...Abstract The researchers’ experiment aimed to determine what material would stay and remain the same with the most heat after being heated and cooled. In this way, one could see how climate in different countries and places are being affected with the materials around them. In this experiment, the materials that were used were water, salt, oil, 2 thermometers, containers, lamp/flashlight and a stopwatch. All these materials were arranged in a way that light from the lamp could be directly reach the 2 containers; this point was where the temperature of each was being recorded with the time allotted. In order to come up with a good result, the temperature was being checked after every five minutes and placed into data. The procedure was done three times for every material for the three trials. After testing, the oil absorbed a lot of heat, the water absorbed a little heat but kept it in while the soil did not absorbed much heat but when after, it was released easily. This experiment was to show how heat was being absorbed and released by different materials around. In this manner, one could associate it with the climate; how the materials surrounding the place can affect the climate and the specific materials that would greatly affect the climate in one place. CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Introduction Climate change is a lasting and significant change in the distribution of weather patterns over a period of time that may be ranging from decades to even millions...
