Five months after the release of Jackson’s 1987 Bad album, and named after Jackson’s signature dance move, the moonwalk. Michael Jackson was 58 when he died. Dubbed the "King of Pop," singer-songwriter Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana. As a child, he performed as the lead singer of the Jackson family's popular Motown group, the Jackson 5. No single artist – indeed, no movement or force – has eclipsed what Michael Jackson accomplished in the first years of his adult solo career. Jackson changed the balance in the pop world in a way that nobody has since. He forced rock & roll and the mainstream press to acknowledge that the biggest pop star in the world could be young and black, and in doing so he broke down more barriers than anybody. But he is also among the best proofs in living memory of poet William Carlos Williams' famous verse: "The pure products of America/go crazy." When Jackson died on June 25th, 2009, of apparent cardiac arrest...

Kyoto aftalens hovedindhold: Første punkt klargør at industri lande skal nedbringe deres udslip af CO2 med 5,2% fra perioden 2008-2012 i forhold til Der er dog stadigvæk forskel på hvor mange % de forskellige lande skal nedbringe deres udslip, da nogle ikke er så langt fremme i den industrielle fase som andre. Danmark og tyskland reducere med 21% Canada og japan reducere med 6% Rusland forbliver det samme f.eks. Spanien, Grækenland og Portugal må øge med øge med henholdsvis 15% 21% -og 25% (da disse ikke er så langt fremme industrielt og derfor ikke har nok energi til at skabe industriel vækst.) Punkt to klargør at ulandende ikke har fået fastgjort nogle reduktionsmål da dette ville ødelægge udvikling og vækst. Punkt omhandler CO2-kvoter, det vil sige at de lande som f.eks.

...prime focus being at the University of Mississippi. Peterson states his argument in the introduction of his book stating: “A key component of the Closed Society was the role of local journalism, which acted as an arm of organizations like the Citizen’s Council and the Sovereignty Commission to protect the way of life that segregation had built” (p.3). Throughout the text Peterson says that although there were a few journalists that spoke out against the unwritten law and the Closed Society, the majority of journalists were very conservative with what they would talk about as far as integration was concerned. Within his research, Peterson concluded that “The tone of newspaper coverage in the state was set by the Clarion-Ledger and the Jackson Daily News” (8). The publishers and editor of these presses was the Hederman family. Peterson references to historian John Dittmer who claimed the Hederman’s “poured out a steady stream of invective against black activities and their white allies” (8). One factors that many historian agree upon is that tone of the only reason why the Hederman’s did not completely take over the newspaper business was because of the The State Times and J.Oliver Emmerich (8). He was one of the rare editors that would speak out against the Closed Society. In one incident, in 1955 a college out of Mississippi was given the chance to play in a Rose Bowl game. The team they played against was an integrated school. The press covered the matter in a very passive...

...main job was doing things like collecting, publicizing, and organizing information on civil rights because of the abuse that was faced because of race. In Mississippi, boycotts were led by Medgar which went against the company's/ businesses that still were segregated. The boycotts occurred in downtown Jackson, Mississippi. Many of the people that happened to be in it were the high school and college students that lived in or near the area of Jackson Mississippi. Two college students, named Charles Bracey, and Dorie Ladner were arrested for boycotting in the downtown area of Jackson, Mississippi. This caught the attention of civil right activist Medgar Evers who would then tell everyone else about the incident and how it was a successful boycott by 60-65%. Violence erupted with the white people in the town being against the boycotts of the downtown stores. “At first local whites didn’t know how to react. A few started to heckle …We were called a little bit of everything. A couple of local boys even made a hangman’s noose out of the counter’s rope. Eventually the heckling turned violent and “all hell broke loose.” -Girl that was apart of the boycott (One person one vote map: Jackson, Mississippi) Majority of the whites were against this boycott because it went against their company, they hated African Americans, or they thought the idea of them boycotting days before Christmas was ridiculous. With Medgar Evers he helped spread the word of the boycotting and was looked at as an...

...In the story “A Worn Conflict” by Eudora Welty the story is of a woman named Phoenix Jackson who takes a Journey through the country into the city to take medicine to her grandson. An element that Welty used to show Phoenix journey to the city is conflict. She uses the 4 conflict styles to explore how Phoenix Jackson comes in conflict with society, herself, nature, and another human. The first conflict that Phoenix Jackson explores in the story is human vs. nature. This comes along as she starts her journey in the country to make it to the city she acknowledges the things that she may come across her path while taking her journey to the city. “Out of my way…foxes, owls, beetles, jack rabbits, coons, and wild animals” (Welty 333). She acknowledges that these are things that she may encounter or come across while on her journey, but hopes that she doesn’t which explains her saying “out of my way”. Also another human vs. nature conflict that is explored in the text is when Phoenix comes across the scarecrow that she mistakes for a ghost. “… it was silent as a ghost … ghost she said sharply, who be you the ghost of” (Welty 335). “You scarecrow…dance, old scarecrow,…while I dance with you” (Welty 335). Once realizing that it was a scarecrow instead of a ghost Phoenix was relieved....

...“The Worn Path”, by Eudora Welty tells the story of an elderly grandmother as she walks into the city to retrieve throat medicine for her grandson. Joseph Campbell describes the archetypal hero’s journey in A Hero With A Thousand Faces. Phoenix’s journey corresponds to the hero’s journey. Helpers along the way, entering the unknown, and tests that occur on the journey help to correspond Phoenix’s journey with a hero’s journey. One way Phoenix’s journey is similar to the hero’s journey is that she encounters helpers along the way. Campbell states that a hero will meet multiple helpers along his journey (69). One helper Phoenix encounters is the wagon track. Phoenix says “‘This the easy place. This the easy going’” (490). The wagon track is a helper because the barren path makes it easier for elderly Phoenix to walk. Another helper is the woman who ties Phoenix’s shoe. After Phoenix arrives to the town she asks a lady on the sidewalk to tie her shoelaces for her (492). The lady ties Phoenix’s shoes so that she can now travel further into town to obtain her grandson’s medicine. The next helper is the hunter. Phoenix falls into a ditch after an encounter with a dog (491). A hunter notices Phoenix in the ditch and helps her out of the ditch and back onto her feet (491). The wagon track, the woman who ties Phoenix’s shoe, and the hunter are all helpers who help link Phoenix’s journey to the hero’s journey. On Phoenix’s journey she has to pass protectors to enter the unknown, as...

... The Gamma Lambda chapter of Phi Theta Kappa nominates Jabari Williams for a Distinguished Chapter Officer Award. He has served our chapter as Vice-President of Scholarship and College Project Coordinator. Jabari’s leadership, organizational and motivational skills encouraged our chapter to be successful. Early in our officer team’s existence Jabari implemented the idea of utilizing the GroupMe phone application. This gave our officer team the ability to communicate effectively and quickly with every one of the officers at once. The officer team was alerted to one another’s complications or changes in planned projects. In the early days of introducing this form of communication Jabari encouraged the officer team to become more familiar with one another through this app. This resulted in our team becoming stronger and more cohesive. Implementing this communication device improved our officer team’s overall level of communication while also allowing us to avoid one or two mishaps. Jabari was vital in several key aspects of both our chapter’s Honors in Action (HIA) and College Projects. Jabari was a team leader for the chapter and a key member in goal setting for the HIA project. A main goal, which Jabari was a committee leader for, was contacting and meeting with Mrs. Carley Dear, Director of Institutional Research at Hinds Community College. This meeting was an unreplaceable factor in our HIA project. Without Mrs. Dear’s help our chapter would have created a much less effective...

...History 11 exam 2 study guide 1) Explain the structure of the US Gov. under the new constitution and describe the compromises that led to its ratification? What problems do you think remained for the united states under this constitution? The structure of the US Gov under the new constitution sets out the powers of the United States does and what the State powers are as well. In addition Madison is setting up a competion between the US Gov and the States. The US gov can coin money, make taxes, make treaties. State Powers can create taxes, make treaties, but can’t coin money. Many of the powers of the States are often duplicated from the Us Gov. powers. Also there is the 3 branch concept which consist of Executive branch (President, Enforce laws),Legislative Branch (Congress, Make Laws), and Judicial Branch( Interept Laws). These branches will also compete with each other. Example of congress fighting with the president on raising the national debt ceiling. In addition the Judicial branch will sometimes get involved because they have the power to declare a law constitutional or unconstitutional which is the final say. In addion the Judicial Branch can also interpret laws made by the legislative Branch.The compromise that led to the ratification are Virginia Plan:being a large state, because virgina had a larger population.the viginians did not think it was fair for a state to have 3times less population to have a equal vote as a larger state such as virginia.They wanted more...

...“The Lottery” and its Outdated Traditions The story, “The Lottery” has many themes to it, all dealing with the corrupted practices of society. The story was written by Shirley Jackson in the year 1948. During this time, there was a lot of corruption and practices that were unjust. The themes that occur in this story are; people not rejecting outdated traditions and ideas, the evil ways of ordinary people, sacrifices for community sins and conformity. Jackson brings these practices to light and exposes them for what they really are. “The Lottery” is about a small town in which a lottery is held on every June 27th. It is a tradition that has been taking place for a many decades. The lottery is not the type of lottery held today, however, it is a lottery to ultimately sacrifice someone’s life. Shirley Jackson wrote this story to shock her audience. She wanted to show a tradition that is highly corrupted taking place in a small and what seems to be, a normal town. The word, “tradition” means inherited or established customs or actions, In the story, some townsmen are talking about other towns getting rid of their lottery. The Old Man Warner says, “Nothing but trouble in that, pack of young fools.”(Jackson) He is referring to the other villages that have abolished this tradition. He also states that it is the seventy-seventh time he has attended the lottery, as if to say it has been around for a long time and will continue to be around. The people of this village are committing...

...Jacksonian Democrats did in fact keep the U.S. together during Jackson’s Presidency, and successfully protected the rights stated in the Constitution except the Indian removal act of 1830.` The Natives American Indians posed as a problem for Jackson because he didn’t know what to do with the ones living in the south, he failed to protect the Indians rights. He decided to remove them and relocate them west of the Mississippi River, to Oklahoma on the famous trail known as the Trail of Tears. Jackson stated he did this to save to Indian culture, but really it was to forcibly remove them from their land and give it to White Farmers. Did the Indians have rights like the white males? Jackson kind of laugh that off and in doing so failed to uphold the Constitution, because he didn’t see them as Americans (which they were not, they were considered a “domestic, dependent nation”). An example of this is when John Marshall head of the Supreme Court decided it was unconstitutional to remove the Indians from their lands and Jackson said, “John Marshall made his decision, now let him enforce it!” This shows his absolute power, and this is why people referred to him as “King Andrew” and how he believed that the constitution didn’t apply to him. Politically, Jackson cared about the common man and a government ran by the people. An example of this is when he used his Veto power to Veto the charter for the Bank of...

...Andrew Jackson’s effect in the American politics Andrew Jackson, the seventh president, is one of the most important and significant presidents in the history of the United States. As a vice-president and president (1824 to 1832) he reshaped and redirected the course of American expansion and democracy. Jackson believed the president is the direct representative of the people. He was the man of action and shrewd politician. He knew how to manipulate men and could be affable or abusive or abusive as the occasion demanded.(nation of nations, 2005 ) Andrew Jackson came to personify the new democratic culture. Through his forceful leadership he significantly expanded the powers of the presidency. Jackson threatened to use force against South Carolina when it tried to nullify the federal tariff using john c. Calhoun’s theory of nullification that is that a state convention could nullify a federal law. He vetoed a bill to recharter the second bank of the United States and destroyed the bank by removing its federal deposits. He called for legislation to remove native peoples west to of the Mississippi voiding treaties found legitimate by the Supreme Court during the winter months of 1835-36 to ensure the greatest suffering to these peoples. One quarter of the tribal people died in transit to Oklahoma during this move. Jacksonian era went through the deep and rapid changes. The revolution in markets brought both economic expansion and periodic depressions as its citizens competed...

Lawrence’s “The Rocking Horse Winner,” are two fictional stories that are quite different in detail but have similar endings. The author gives us a glimpse into the lives of two mothers both different yet both facing similar challenges in life. Both Hester of “The Rocking Horse Winner,” and Tessie of “The Lottery,” had husbands and children each who treated and viewed their families differently. In “The Lottery,” Hester is portrayed as warm, caring and loving towards her children and husband while in “The Rocking Horse Winner,” Tessie is portrayed as cold, hard hearted and unloving towards her children and husband. Hester is concern about her family while Tessie on the other hand is only concern about herself. Tessie handles life challenges through love and sacrifice while Hester handles life challenges through greed and selfishness. Even though both stories are different, there are many similarities between the two stories encompassing love, sacrifice, and fear. In D.H. Lawrence’s “The Rocking Horse Winner,” the author tells the tale about a family who is obsessed with wealth and prosperity, mainly the mother Hester. Hester is portrayed as a very greedy and selfish person who is consumed by money and wealth. In Shirley Jackson’s...
