...The Messages in Art Artists have long been known to throw subtle messages into their pieces of art. One way of doing this is an artist taking an event that is part of history and making a slight change in it to show something that they feel is valuable. A perfect example of this is the painting Washington Crossing the Delaware. The artist Emanuel Leutze took the negative space in this painting and turned it into a day sky, with a shining sun. Historically, however, this event didn’t happen during the day so why did Leutze choose to portray it like that? After seeing the majestic painting Washington Crossing the Delaware I was struck by a lot of things. The painting is a very vivid depiction of an event that happened during the American Revolutionary War. You can tell that this was the American Revolutionary War because the person who is most prominent is George Washington. He looks heroic in the picture and looks like a leader who is in charge of the situation. The saying “cool, calm, and collected” is a perfect description. One of the most poignant things that can be seen in the paining is that the wind is howling. A few perfect examples are the waving flag, and the flapping scarves around soldiers’ necks. A further example to the harsh conditions is the man sitting on the front of the boat struggling to control and keep the boat off the ice has a grimace on his face. You can also see that all the soldiers in this painting are very determined to accomplish the goal as the...

...and adults Department of Social Service (DSS). Team A will discuss how Confidentiality, Privileged Communication and Rights to Privacy are applied at the state and county level. The Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) is New Jersey’s child protection and child welfare agency within the Department of Children and Families. As mandated by state law (Title 9 and Title 30), DYFS is required to investigate all reports of child abuse and child neglect (Division of Youth and Family Services, p. 1, 2008). New Jersey was one of the first states in the nation to create a state division on aging. Chapter 72 Law of 1957 established within the State Department of Health, a state unit on aging. In 1973, amendments to the federal Older Americans Act of 1965 authorized states to designate geographic planning and service areas to be administered by Area Agencies on Aging. New Jersey designated each of its 21 county offices on aging as Area Agencies on Aging, making each eligible for federal funding under the Older Americans Act (DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES, p. 1, 2009-2013) . AND SENIOR SERVICConfidentiality Confidentiality involves Child Protective Services’ (CPS) duty of protecting sensitive management according to New Jersey state laws. The rationale for stringent confidentiality rules in CPS concern is for the protection of the child (North Carolina Division of Social Services, 2010).

...Jessica Case Briefing #2 LaPlace v. Briere New Jersey Supreme Court, Appellate Division 404 NJ. Super. 585, 962 A. 2d 1139 (2009) Facts: A horse owner brought an action against the person who exercised his horse while the horse was being boarded at the defendant's stable. While the stable employee was "lunging" the horse, the horse reared up, collapsed on his side with blood pouring from his nostrils, and then died. Issue: Was the defendant or the trainer liable for the conversion and negligence of the owner’s horse? Ruling: No, the court issued favor of the defendant, ruling that no intentional harm was done to the horse to cause death. Reasons: The lower court entered summary judgment in favor of the stable owner and person who exercised the horse. On appeal, the Superior Court, Appellate Division, held that the person who exercised horse could not be liable under the tort of conversion as she did not exercise such control and dominion over the horse when lunging it that she seriously interfered with plaintiff's ownership rights in the horse. Moreover, the exerciser's conduct was done in good faith and there was no causal connection between her conduct and the destruction of the horse. On the issue of bailment, the court found that while the horse was left in a bailment arrangement with stable when the plaintiff delivered his horse, the stable, as a bailee, could not be liable under a theory of conversion. The court stated that the sole fact defendant was...

...Gibbons vs. Ogden March 2, 1824 United States Supreme Court,22 U.S. 1, 9 Wheat. 1 1 (1824) Facts Robert R. Livingston and Robert Fulton was given the right to navigate steamboats on New York State waters. Robert R. Livingston assigned Ogden the right to navigate the waters between New York City and various ports in New Jersey. Ogden brought upon this lawsuit to keep Gibbons from operating steamboats on the waters of New York due to his exclusive privileges. Ogden was granted the injunction by the court and Gibbons appealed, stating that his steamships were licensed under the Act of Congress. It was entitled “An act for enrolling and licensing ships and vessels to be employed in the coasting trade and fisheries, and for also regulating the same”. Gibbons asserted that the Act of Congress superseded the privilege granted by the state of New York to Robert R. Livingston and Robert Fulton. The Chancellor acknowledged the injunction, stating that the New York law granting the exclusive privilege was not repugnant to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that the grants were legitimate. Gibbons appealed and the decision was affirmed by the Court for the Trial of Impeachments and Correction of Errors which happens to be the highest Court of law and equity in the state of New York. Issues 1. Does a state have the power to grant an exclusive right to the use of state waterways not in agreement with federal law? 2. Does a state have the right to pass...

If people stop visiting beaches government of New Jersey will lose huge amount of revenue, business owners businesses will go down and lot of people will end up with loosing their jobs. If we don’t protect and maintain beaches and property there will be c The quality of life and the strength of the economy in New Jersey are challenged by persistent threats to the health and viability of one of its most cherished and fragile assets: its ocean resources. Despite regulatory efforts to date, New Jersey residents still face beach closings, seafood health advisories, and prohibitions on shellfishing in some areas because of pollution. In addition, pressures on fisheries due to overfishing and ecosystem destruction have jeopardized the future vitality of these resources. New Jersey now has an opportunity to seize a leadership role in strengthening protections for its ocean resources, rebuilding valuable fish populations, and cleaning its coastal waters. Two national blue-ribbon panels, the Pew Oceans Commission (POC) and the United States Commission on Ocean Policy (USCOP), recently reviewed the state of our country’s declining ocean resources and made recommendations to policy makers about improving or overhauling existing...

...Case 5 1.Even though Ray is originally Hispanic, he has gotten used to the American culture. Ray got used to the idea of “time is money.” The fact that he has been in America for so long allowed him to get used to the fact that an appointment is an appointment. While the Chilean executives told him to take time off, relax, and to go sight-seeing, Ray wanted to get down to business. Ray needed to realize that although he has the Hispanic background, he follows the American culture. 2. Larry needs to know that the Brazilians often touch when they are speaking to another and trying to get their point across. In the American culture we keep our distance when speaking, so that is why he felt offended. 3. Loyalty is a very important part of the Korean culture. The employees did not except his generous offers because they are loyal to their employees. In America we do whatever benefits us. We are very independent and goal oriented. That is why Frank was confused as to why the Korean candidates did not accept. 4. I would advise Roger to wait out the silence. As Americans , we feel that when someone does not respond that they are either ignoring us or upset. The fact that they looked downward also made him think they were upset. He should have waited or found another question to ask to keep the conversation going. 5. Touching with the left hand in the Muslim world is considered offensive.

...Compare and Contrast In Walt Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing,” and Claude McKay’s “America” the poets present dissimilar perspectives of America. The two focus on life in America and that is the exact point where the similarities of the two poets begin to fade away. Whitman’s view of America is positive, focusing on life of everyday people in America. Where McKay’s view of America is much more negative and focusing only on the hate and racism in the country. In some ways he appears to be angry towards life in America but also can not love the country. They both use various literary tools to portray their self view on America. In the poem, "I Hear America Singing" Walt Whitman shows many different ways of positive living in the everyday life of American citizens. In this poem, Whitman uses phrases like "strong melodious songs" to show the gratitude towards the ability to working hard labor and well support a family. It also shows how hard working men use their imagination and physical strength of well mixing the beauty and happiness with the songs that they sing. The "varied carols" refers to the culture and life of America.The attitude that Whitman has towards America is that he sees it as his way of the ideal part of human life. Claude Mckay's poem "America" expresses the hardship of living in a country full of hate and Mckay acknowledges this by using words like "bitterness," "hate," and "sinking." "Sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth, stealing my breath of life"...

...illusive concept of the American dream. I am fist generation American. My parents came from a small island along the Adriatic coast in Croatia. During the summer months, the island is home to about three hundred people due to tourism. The population of permanent year-long residents hovers just below one hundred. The population of this small island called Susak suffered a significant drop in the 1960’s, when many inhabitants left the island and immigrated to the United States in order to pursue the American dream. Once settled, many of the immigrants settled in New Jersey, particularly Hoboken and Jersey City, and found blue collar work to help support and start a family. Slowly the immigrants from Susak began to live the American dream and their acculturation into American ideals began. With little education, no money, and no way to communicate with their neighbors, these new Americans were forced to adapt to the new culture they were surrounded by. Forty years later, after hours of hard work and dedication, many of these immigrants and their children have been successful at living the America dream. My parents, in particular, have raised four children and put them through college. Through their dedication and hard, my brothers and sisters and I have learned the importance of hard work and determination. Though my parents have slowly become more attune with American ideals through the years, they have never strayed from their true values and commitments, which they in turn...

...just a few things people think of when they think of “Dirty Jersey,” except of course the people, like me who reside in this beautiful state. Out-of-Staters imagine smoke stacks, tall buildings, city streets and thick “joisy” accents. Not exactly a flattering image if you ask me. This proves very annoying to the average “Joisyian” and it’s not true to any extent. Asking my friends what they thought about Jersey, I got the following response: “it smells, there are beaches… North Jersey is dirty and South Jersey is for rich people” another common reaction was “New York wannabe” and “Pennsylvanians garbage goes there”. I don’t quite understand why people have this opinion, but I certainly do not agree with it on any level. A major consensus remains that Jersey should be taken off the map! But why? To me all this prejudice toward Jersey never seemed to make any sense. Just as Jon Bon Jovi, Whitney Huston, Frank Sinatra, and Bruce Springsteen do, I call the beautiful state of New Jersey home. I’m sure Frank, Bruce, Jon and Whitney don’t appreciate the bad reputation that Jersey gets for what ever the reason may be either. Some interesting trivia information: The Statue of Liberty actually is placed on New Jersey territory. So take that New Yorkers! All those pins and “I love NY” shirts with Lady Liberty on them are all wrong. “I love NJ” that’s right I said it, I DO LOVE NJ.

...ONLINE CASE Wild Water Gets Soaked Jason and Marie Salerno, brother and sister, have been running their family business, a water park called Wild Water, since they both graduated from college. The Salernos operate the park, which is located near the New Jersey shore, with help from their parents. Marie’s husband and Jason’s wife are also involved in the business. Wild Water has now been in business for more than 40 years—it is a landmark to both locals and summer tourists. The water park features such attractions as a wave pool, several water slides, a flume ride, a kiddie pool, and a tube ride. A picnic park, shaded petting zoo, aquarium, snack bar, and restaurant called the Seafood Shack round out the park’s offerings. The park opens on Memorial Day and cuts back to weekends only after Labor Day, typically closing in the fall. With just a few months to accumulate revenue, the family and employees of the park work extremely hard. Marie oversees the financial aspects of the business, while Jason manages the staff. The staff—rider operators, ticket takers, lifeguards, and the like—are very loyal. Some have parents who once worked at the water park, and many have siblings who also work there. By its very nature, the organization culture of Wild Water is hierarchical—but most who work there, including Jason and Marie, would refer to their employees as part of the family. Jason holds weekly staff meetings, where employees are encouraged to voice their ideas about any...

...The Chesapeake and New England Colonies: A Comparison Beginning in the 1600s, England colonized the newly discovered Americas. numerous groups came settled in two regions, the Chesapeake and New England. From the beginning, both had very separate motivation and unique identities. These motivations affected the colonies in every way, including economically, socially, and politically. The Chesapeake and New England attracted different types of settlers and, by 1700, the populations differed enormously. Clearly the Chesapeake and the New England regions did differ in numerous ways. These differences included population, religion, and economy. But also the differences were on a wide-scale range involving almost every aspect of the society, they all sprouted from one initial difference between the two: the very reason the colonists came. Life in colonial America was difficult for all, but more so for some than others. While some colonists struggled to scrape by, some managed to live well and be happy. It is very apparent that health, family, and growth helped New England to be more prosperous and a more enjoyable place to live than in its southern neighbor, Chesapeake Bay. History has proven that these factors have a major effect on the quality of life for people, and this instance is no exception. New England New England was north of the Chesapeake, and included Massachusetts Bay Colony, Plymouth, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Haven. In Puritan New England, a patriarchal...

I definitely will be going to college, a large one where I can meet new people to be with along the way. The business and financing majors seem to interest me the most from past experience, so I can definitely see myself making a career of it someday. In five years, I see myself accepting my Bachelor's degree and going into my next two years for my doctorate. I'd like to start my life and eventually achieve "the American Dream."

There are also many other goals I would like to accomplish over the next three to five years. As of right now, I plan to get a small part-time job and keep working my way up for the next few years. I would like to start working at a local bank in my neighborhood, and I know from there only bigger and better opportunities will come my way. I'd like to work longer hours over the summer and eventually get a new job that connects with my major so I can get the experience while getting the education.
