Fumiko and the children write to George Brady, asking him to share...

...Gestalt Psychology Reflection PSY 310 January 11, 2016 Sam Ivory Dr. Fine Gestalt psychology Reflection The school of thought is what Gestalt psychology theory is about. Gestalt believes that all things and scenes are observed in the simplest forms. Also known as the 'Law of Simplicity,' the meaning behind the theory is that the whole of an object or scene is more important than its individual parts. When you observe everything as a whole it allows us to us find order in disorder and unity among outwardly unrelated parts and pieces of information (Cherry, 2015). Gestalt theories have implications for education focusing more meaningful learning and true understanding of principles, over the traditional structured approaches based on memory and recall (King, Wertheimer, Keller & Crochetiere, 1994). Gestalt psychology gave a unique way on human perception. According to Gestalt psychologists, you don't just see the world; what you see, depending on what you are expecting to see. The reason behind Gestalt psychology is that it encourages people to 'think outside of the box' and to look for patterns. Another contribution to Gestalt psychology is the development of our senses is capable of visual recognition of things as a whole and not just simple line and curves (Schamber, 1986). However the breakdown of the mental process wasn’t done until it was in their smallest forms. The psychologist believed that behavior must be studied in all of its complexities instead...

...Persuasive Research Paper Langston Hughes was a forerunner of rap music. He writes with a finesse that is a lot similar to a modern day rapper. Growing up during the Harlem Renaissance really set the stage for Langston Hughes writing. He also lived in a time where he African Americans were proud of their roots. Being around all the arts made him more inclined to write the way he did, with a rhythm. From Langston Hughes attitudes towards women, to writing about the streets he grew up on and his struggles, it is very evident that Langston Hughes was a forerunner of rap. Langston Hughes was lucky his hit his peak during the Harlem Renaissance because that gave him the opportunity to perform and publish his work in Black magazines. Langston Hughes mirrors rappers because he wrote his poetry simplistically, so people with no education could read and understand it. Langston Hughes wasn’t just a writer he was also a performer, he would regularly perform in nightclubs to gain exposure. I’m sure that if Langston Hughes were alive today he would be performing spoken word poetry in New York night clubs, or writing lyrics for today’s rappers. Langston Hughes was so drawn to the nightlife that he dropped out of school to travel and perform his poetry, just like a lot of modern rappers chasing their dreams. In the 1923 poem, “Jazzonia”, Langston Hughes sets the poem, “In a Harlem nightclub” (1140) , and is describing the jazz players inside it. Three years later, in “Lenox avenue: midnight”...

Holocaust was a period of unspeakable horror and infernal ramifications which were not only felt across Europe but also in places like Laos. When I began this term paper, it was meant to be a study of the literature pertaining to this period of Nazi regime in Poland during World War II. What it turned out to be was a account of implacable and starkly real evil. A subject that has inspired countless movies, novels, real-life accounts, memoirs and poems, the holocaust continues to haunt the imagination of the world even today. It is not history bygone and forgotten, it is a demon that could never be truly obliterated from the lives and minds of the people. The following pages contain an analysis of Maus, the Pulitzer Prize Special Award recipient (1992), and one of the most loved graphic...

...Inequality in the United States Introduction Minority and poor populations have been experiencing an unequal amount of exposure to various environmental hazards. The goal of this paper is investigate the situation at hand and provide an explanation to whether this treatment is ethical. Thus, in this paper, I will not only attempt to analyze reasons why these populations experience more pollution than other populations and the types of pollution that they experience, but I will also explore the solutions provided by other researchers on how to solve environmental inequalities. Previous research has been carried out to detect why most, if not all, of the polluting industries, such as power plants and waste facilities, tend to be located in minority and poor neighborhoods (Carter; Morello-Frosch; Pellow and Park; Bullard and Wright). Normally, people that live in low income neighborhoods will experience a disproportionately high amount of pollution compared to those living in high income neighborhoods (Morello-Frosch). Therefore, parks, trees, and outdoor recreational areas tend to be located in wealthy neighborhoods. Consequently, minority and poor neighborhoods tend to have the lowest ratios of parks-to-people (Carter). This means that there is a low amount of park space per 10,000 people. Other research shows that even if we ignore the level of income, minority neighborhoods, such as African American and Hispanic neighborhoods, will still experience higher levels of pollution than...

...Tonetta SOCIOLOGICAL PORTRAIT: MILESTONE 1 SOCIOLOGICAL PORTRAIT: MILESTONE 1 When we are born, we carry a huge cloud over our head. It stays with us our entire life until death, we all know it as socialization. Socialization is a term used by sociologist to refer to the lifelong process whereby people are made aware of the behavior that others expect of them as regards the norms, values, and culture of their society. In this paper I will talk about how my life has been affected due to socialization by my gender, race, religion and social class. I will also relate my personal experience to sociological research. As a child my life was very difficult. I was born to a young African American mother and a Trinidadian father in the heart of Brooklyn New York. My parents were only together for a short period of time before they separated due to my mother’s heavy drinking and drug use. I never experienced the traditional family that Cootzn (1997) spoke of. Even though my mother was part of my primary social group I didn’t learn many positive things from her. My mother wasn’t a bad person, but the circumstances of her environment turn her into a woman I strive my entire life not to be. Throughout my childhood, my mother tried to teach me her values for how a woman should behave. She would tell me that it’s a man’s job to take care of a woman, and all I needed to do was learn how to cook and clean. It was a concept that could...

...Necessity knows no law. Bần cùng sinh đạo tặc. In December 2008, just a few months after the U.S. financial system imploded, New York City was hit by a flurry of bank robberies. On the Monday before New Year’s, four banks were attacked in an hour-and-a-half; one daytime raid took place just steps from the Lincoln Center in downtown Manhattan. The week before, San Diego had seen four bank holdups in a single day. Criminologists wondered if the holiday spree was the first sign of a looming crime wave in recession-battered America. Take an uptick in poverty and economic misery, toss in budget cuts to police departments across the country, and that should be a blueprint for chaos—right? Except, as it turns out, the exact opposite occurred. According to FBI statistics, crime rates went down across the board in 2009. Way down. Murder, rape, robbery, assault, auto theft—plummeted, one and all. Then, this week, the FBI released preliminary data for the first six months of 2010, and again the same pattern emerged. Violent crimes and property crimes alike have been falling in every region of the country. What gives? Have experts just completely misunderstood what causes people to commit crimes? There's certainly no shortage of theories for why crime rates have gone down over the past two years. The simplest is that crime just isn’t closely related to economic conditions. Consider, after all, the two big crime epidemics in the twentieth century—the first took root in the late 1960s...

...Madison Motley Mrs. Davis English II Honors 7 January 2015 Internment Camp Research Paper Japanese and Holocaust camps were very active during the mid 1900's, causing a vigorous movement between each group. The camps tended to be unfair, and were created due to dictatorship by one persep or group. The Holocaust and Japanese internment camps were major events in the mid 1900's that moved thousands of people to different locations, that people never thought would be relevant in their lives. The Holocaust work camps were harsh labor camps that were spread across Europe. Each camp was planned out by the Nazi soldiers. The Japanese relocation camps were located along the Pacific Coast. The Japanese were sent to a location ordered by the government...

...As the textbook name names such as the cold Crush Brothers, the funky four plus one, the Kool Moe Dee, DJ Kool Herc and so on , I would like to also mention some other great artists that brought hiphop to the peak of its Fame. These artists include Tupac Shakur, NWA, Notorious B.I.G, Lauryn Hill , Ahmad, and the similar styles of J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar. The reason why I chose these particular artists is to represent the face of Hip Hop in my research project is because through their work, they have represented what the creation of hiphop was meant to symbolize. They use Styles similar to The Jive talkin South African American and storytelling from African descent with rhythmic beats over the music to help people understand their storyline and the struggles they were facing. As mentioned before, Hip Hop started in New York as a way for the Youth to have a non-violent way to settle their disputes. Just like when hiphop first again with the activist in the 1960s bringing awareness to social and political Topix, these artists have also address social and political topics to their listeners. They are one of the main reasons why Hip Hop was at its prime and people were starting to be aware...

...music world. Somehow though, you turn to like rap and hip-hop. All your friends listen to metal and rock and pop. Not you however, you always loved listening to rap music. The beginning of high school flies into existence and you are still the hip-hop rap lover you were in middle school. If anything, you love it more! Your parents denounce rap and say it distracts you from your sport, and your grades. I mean look at your clothes, they scream ghetto. Blow the hate off and continue listening to it when your parents aren’t around. Begin to wonder if they were right all along. Research lyrics of your favorite songs only to find it is infested with sex, drugs, violence, and hate. It’s your sophomore year, and you are just a normal kid that is starting to listen to rock and metal like your friends. The normal bland school scene filled with nerdy kids who wear the same “hip” clothing and wear rock band t-shirts as if they actually went to their concerts. Classes are filled with boring lectures and nothing to do but doodle in your paper. You still yearn to listen to rap, and so much so you get an idea to start rapping yourself. So in class you start writing lyrics, and basic rhymes to pass the time. This is fun but never goes anywhere. Junior year hits, you start listening to rap again, it is the only music you enjoy and you can’t listen to that metal garbage. It pumps you up before games and keeps you hyped with your sad repeating routine. There are some new transfer students...

...EAST IS EAST, MY JOURNEY MY ISLAM, MUSLIM COOL, DEBATING THE VEIL RESPONSE PAPER Islam Despite its huge following around the world and the growing Muslim communities in western countries, Islam is foreign to most westerners who are familiar with Christianity or Judaism. Because most Americans know little or nothing about Islam, they have many misconceptions about Muslim beliefs and rituals. These misconceptions are formed by the media and the lack of research most people do on Islam. There have been many movies and documentaries made to show people the life of a Muslim person and to show people what Islam really is; East is East, My Journey My Islam, Debating the Veil, and Muslim Cool are examples of movies portraying Muslims in a different light. These movies although very different from each other in the way they are portrayed all are out to achieve the same goal, which is to show misinformed people what Islam really is. East is East is a movie about a Pakistani immigrant in the UK by the name of George khan who tries to push his family to abide by his strict Pakistani Muslim ideals. Having an English mother and being born and raised in England, his children see themselves as being English and disobey their father’s rules on how they dress, the foods they eat, religion, and other aspects of life. East is East, portrays Muslim Isolationism, patriarchal authoritarianism, white English racism, and teenage rebellion. The film perfectly explores connections between comic modes...

...Final Project Charlon L. Gibbs University of Scranton Final Project Outline I. Key Concepts Which Impacted Me – Page 3 II. Key Concepts Which Resonated With Me – Page 4 III. Five Page Paper on the Areas of Concern – Pages 5 – 8 IV. Reference Page – Page 9 V. Racist Poster (Unintentional) – Page 10 The key concept which impacted me the most was allowing students to discuss the diversity issues and not just ignore them; the topic for week five was Discussing Difficult Topics. While attending undergraduate school, I was taught to not address diversity issues unless the student/child brings up the issue in order not to disrespect diverse backgrounds. The first step in breaking down cultural barriers is to allow students to ask questions about the issues which concern them. This lesson also alerted me that when having a conversation in the classroom dealing with diversity and cultural backgrounds, there needs to be structure and rules about the expectations during the discussion. Dilg (2003) explained that ignoring sensitive topics bring about misunderstandings and denies guidance in dealing with certain subjects. Conversations across the classroom allow students to interact with the many different backgrounds of their classmates and to understand the cultural differences, just by dialogue. Ignoring a problem or situation does not help anyone and in order for students to become 21st Century Learners...
