...David Walker was born in 1796 in Wilmington, North Carolina. Having witnessed slavery and racism. David walker was a writer and also an activist. Walker's father was a slave and his mother was free so he inherited his mother's liberated status. However, being free did not keep him from witnessing his people being mistreated by their slave owners. At some later point David walker said he couldn’t be in a place where he was always being offended so he left Wilmington between 1815 and 1820.

...The Leland Stanford Junior University, commonly referred to as Stanford University or Stanford, is an American private research university located in Stanford, California on an 8,180-acre (3,310 ha) campus near Palo Alto, California, United States. It is situated in the northwestern Silicon Valley, approximately 20 miles (32 km) northwest of San Jose and 37 miles (60 km) southeast of San Francisco.[6] Leland Stanford, a Californian railroad tycoon and politician, and his wife Jane Lathrop Stanford founded the university in 1891 in honor of their son, Leland Stanford, Jr., who died of typhoid two months before his 16th birthday. The university was established as a coeducational and nondenominational institution, but struggled financially after the senior Stanford's 1893 death and after much of the campus was damaged by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Following World War II, Provost Frederick Terman supported faculty and graduates' entrepreneurialism to build self-sufficient local industry in what would become known as Silicon Valley. By 1970, Stanford was home to a linear accelerator, was one of the original four ARPANET nodes, and had transformed itself into a major research university in computer science, mathematics, natural sciences, and social sciences. More than 50 Stanford faculty, staff, and alumni have won the Nobel Prize and Stanford has the largest number of Turing award winners for a single institution. Stanford faculty and alumni have founded many prominent technology...

... Ed Calvin PSY 211 August 20, 2012 Dr. Walker Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Abraham Maslow's model of human motivational needs suggests that before more complex needs are able to be met; basic needs like breathing, food, and water must be satisfied first. The model then moves on to other needs such as, safety needs, and the feelings of love and belongingness, and ending with higher orders of motivational needs. Maslow’s model makes sense, except the suggestion that in order to reach a certain level of motivation, one must satisfy the more basic needs first. For example, people can go without particular basic needs for a period of time and not have it hinder the ability to meet other needs, such as self- actualization. A person may actually fast from a basic need, like food, in order to reach some level of morality which is a self- actualizing need. Although, Maslow’s model is useful, it may not be the ideal path to take for every human being or every situation of life. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs makes sense, in the sense that the group understands Maslow’s purpose or perspectives concerning this subject matter. This was Maslow’s attempt to make sense of how human beings categorically rank or deem important things as basic as food and shelter, to the more complex psychological needs such as how humans esteem themselves, and the importance of moral character. If examples from real life situations are considered, one example that can be looked at is an...

...health and social care services. The ever increasing number of quality initiatives being developed by the Government is just one example of how it is having an impact. Another way is the drive towards and focus on gaining service users views of services. And the reason behind it all is simple, the quality of a service impacts on the quality of life for its users and their carers. Service User Consultation: In the opinion of Martin and Henderson (2001) you can’t provide a quality service without knowing what kind of people use your service and what they need from your service. Writers such as Peters believe that the best way to find out these things is to work closely with service users and communicate with them. One way to do this would be to undertake service user consultation. So what is service user consultation? Simply put, service user consultation is all about obtaining the real opinions of the real people that are using the service you are providing. The aims of service user consultations are to obtain information that can help to improve the service, improve the working environment for the staff, and to improve the quality of life...

...Introduction “Changes happen by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you do not believe is right.” – Jane Goodall. There are lots of critiques who argue that dialogue can precisely transform the organisational culture and learning methods. Dialogue is a mutual understanding among the people and empowering them by letting speak and hear (Senge et al. 1999). Dialogue is a controversial subject that generally covers entire communication channel of an organisation (Schein 1993). However, dialogue has been an argumentative communication method that is least comparable to traditional approach of communication. Therefore, Schien (1993) suggest that in order to balance communication and exchange information, ‘dialogue is not only different form of many techniques that have been proposed before, but also that it has considerable promise as problem solving and problem formulating.’ Communication is integrated with an organisation to flow messages and information from top to bottom and vice versa (Tourish, D & Hargie, O 2009) where dialogue acts as a part of bringing up information, frustrations, ideas, present scenario that highly influence firm’s active participation for positive change. According to the Eisenberg, E.M., Goodall, H.L. and Trethewey, A (2010:33) communication plays a role of ‘moment to moment working out of tensions’ in an organisation. Basically to achieve targets and objectives that has been vision and paved by a firm...

...Through this women’s literature course I not only learned about remarkable women but I also learned who I really am as a person as well and I was given reasons to cherish the life I have today. Women are the back bones of this world and they are the motivation for one woman to another. Over the years women have created hope for many and through that hope freedom was gained, because it’s mind over matter! I was asked the question How does power, freedom, and choices relate to Women’s Literature? Well power, freedom and choices relate to woman literature physically and emotionally in many ways. The women that I have had the opportunity to learn about in Women’s Literature 150 are extraordinary women. The choices that they have made in their lives were dramatic ones, which led to the power and the freedom that women today have. Women such as Margery Kempe, Anne Bradstreet, Phillis Wheatley, Mary Wollstonecraft, Isabella Baumfree, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Jane Austen, Harriet Jacobs, Kate Chopin, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Zora Neale Hurston, Gwendolyn Books, Sylvia Plath, Jamaica Kincaid, Maya Angelou, Alice Walker, and Adrienne Rich, all played a significant role in why most women no longer visualize themselves less valuable than men in our societies, and I will give reasons through words from some of the women above to explain how power, freedom and choices relate to women’s literature from the past and today. In the time that these women were growing up men were superiors...

...University Jennifer Walker Abstract The Roe versus Wade Supreme Court Case has had a huge impact on abortion laws in the United States. Before 1973, abortions were illegal and criminal, with few exceptions. Overnight, the decision in the case legalized first trimester abortions while leaving the specifications of the other trimesters up to the states. This case has led to many debates over the value of life and when life begins whether at conception, independence from mother, or first breath. All of these can be defined by religion, law, or individual beliefs. Unfortunately, none of the policies before or after Roe versus Wade have addressed the issue of unintended pregnancies, which is the underlying cause of abortion. Until this is addressed, policies will continue to be created, implemented, and challenged. Policies in Relation to Abortion Before and After the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court Case Introduction In 1973, a case was selected to be heard by the Supreme Court that would substantially impact women’s rights then and continue to impact them today. The case was over Texas policy article 1911 that stated, “If any person shall designedly administer to a pregnant woman or knowingly procure to be administered with her consent… and thereby procure an abortion, he shall be confined in the penitentiary not less than two nor more than five years…” (Law Library, 2014). The only exceptions to abortion were if a medical professional believed the mother’s life was at risk due to...

...much of its legacy through literature, art, film, and personal memory. Spain certainly remembers three hellish years of war and thirty six years of repression under Generalisimo Fransisco Franco, but how is General Franco remembered by the rest of the world? What legacy did he leave internationally? 2 It is a confused and varied one: to those closest to him he was a husband, father, and statesman; to Hitler, he was an obstacle on the road to world domination; to the Jews who fled from Hitler he was a hero; but to the many Spanish minorities and to his opponents in the Spanish Civil War he was a monster. 3 The answers to the questions posed are addressed in a variety of sources. One of these sources is the book Hitler Stopped by Franco, by Jane and Burt Boyar, who write a relatively straightforward book that explores many positive sides of Franco’s character. An alternative, contemporary view of the dictator, Franco: A Concise Biography written by Gabrielle Hodges focuses on the negative legacy of General Franco. This side of Franco rears its head in many other sources, including Hitler and Spain: The Nazi Role in the Spanish Civil War 936-939, a monograph by Robert H. Whealey. In it he focuses, as the title...
