...facilities an individual used. The poem Mr. Z talks about an African American person whose acts can only be executed by a white man. According to the poem, Mr. Z and his wife struggles to fit in the white society. In the poem, there is a conflict between the speaker and the imagery, which mirrors the struggle of Mr. Z’s life. In the poem, imagery is used to outline how Mr. Z as well as his wife were struggling to run away from their black race. The usage of imagery by the poet is a convenient way to justify his accusation on dissatisfactions of Mr. Z. In the first stanza, the poet stipulates, “Taught early that his mother’s skin was a sign of error” (Holman 1). This line insinuates that Mr. Z from the very beginning he was told that being black was unacceptable. The author underlines the word ‘honor’ to insinuate that he does not concur with act of being perfect because one is a white person. This bogus message made him suffer throughout his life. Throughout his life, Mr. Z always wanted to behave and act like a white man. This was to avoid criticism from the society he was living in. Therefore, Mr. Z tried to ‘act white,’ and he perfected this by “dressing and speaking with a perfect honor”. This line in the first stanza implies that Mr. Z dressed in a way an individual of the Caucasian race would act and dress. Moreover, the poet outlines that behaving and acting lie a white man earned Mr. Z scholarships, and he attended the best colleges. Mr. Z continues to disown his...

...anJason Palmer 12/1/2011 How Jay-Z in AN EDUCATED PERSON What does it take to be a liberally educated person? Is it the amount of intelligence that one has? Is it solely individualism? Normally the stereotype of what an educated person is who has undergone an obligated set of learning experiences through education. So if we were looking at the person that hasn’t traveled a traditional path through education what qualities or what examples are we looking for to be defining this educated person? In “Only Connect” The Goals of Liberal Education are basically broken down into qualities of learning that empowers individuals and the preparedness that deals with complexity, diversity, and change. In this special case we are trying to define a rapper, but not just any rapper we are talking about Jay-Z, a Hip Hop mogul, one of the East Coast raps top acts of the 21st century. So why would we think that a rapper is capable of being an educated person? One of the qualities of what an educated person is in “Only Connect” which states “They can write clearly and persuasively and movingly”. When it comes to being a rapper part of the job is how they write their lyrics and the messages they send or the sound that people are listening to. With Jay-Z’s style in particular you can tell that there is some education in the way he is able to make the music he writes. Having an interest in music from a very young age, Shawn Carter was known by the nickname “Jazzy” in his neighborhood and later...

...The world changed for Jay Z on June 25, 1996. That's the day his debut album "Reasonable Doubt" was released, dropping the needle on the start of what has been one of the most epic careers in the music industry. But he didn't stop there. In the past 20 years the man who was born Shawn Corey Carter and who grew up in Brooklyn's Marcy Projects at a time when they were plagued by crime and drugs has gone from slinging drugs to taking over corporations.

...Imaginative Literature October 11, 2013 Letters to the Government The song “Open Letter” by Jay-Z is a response to the criticism he has been faced with on his recent trip to Cuba. He released this song within 24 hours after the uproar of government officials. Jay-Z talks about political issues that are occurring today and tries turn the criticism on them by pointing out economic flaws. He also mocks the government by saying that he is above them because of the amount of money that he generates. The overwhelming theme in this song is his message of being untouchable to government and how he is above the law. Jay-Z talks about his invincibility because of his ties with the President Obama. Jay-Z starts his first verse with “I done turned Havana to Atlanta.” This is referencing his recent trip to Havana the capital of Cuba. He is implying that he walks the streets of Cuba the same way he does in Atlanta with confidence and a sense of control. Jay-Z does this calmly even though it is illegal for Americans to visit Cuba. He totally disregards government laws and visits anyway because he knows the consequences won’t be too harsh. This is because he has such a close connection with President Obama and thinks he will not be incarcerated for his crime. Jay-Z is also trying to make a statement that he can do whatever he wants no matter what the law says. Jay-Z is a multimillion dollar man and can afford to go anywhere in the world no matter the cost and there is one place that is off...

...In love” featuring her husband, Jay-Z. This first verse presents the beginning of the provocative lyrics which use street slang to speak about sexual acts, domestic abuse, and intoxication. Children, teenagers and adults alike listen to and look up to Beyoncé, the world wide sensation, but some may not even realize what she is actually stating in her lyrics and how they can impact youths to believe that it is proper to engage in these acts. Throughout the song Beyoncé sings about how drunk she and Jay Z are after being out all night partying at a club: "How the hell did this shit happen? Oh baby, drunk in love we be all night. Last thing I remember is our beautiful bodies grinding up in the club” (17-19). In these lyrics she sings about being intoxicated and “grinding” which is provocatively dancing while pushing up on each other’s bodies. She goes on to sing: “Boy, I'm drinking, Park it in my lot 7-11 I'm rubbing on it, rub-rubbing, if you scared, call that reverend” (26-28). In these lyrics she continues to address how intoxicated she is and how she wants to have sex with Jay-Z referring to “7-11”, which is a convenience store open all night, meaning she wants to have sex all night. She entices him by “rubbing on it” which is referring to his privates and is basically saying if he is scared to “call that reverend “and start praying. Beyoncé continues to sing about their sexual acts, referring to Jay-Z as a “surfboard” in the following...

...The Definition of Charity” In Lyneka Little’s article, “Jay-Z Declares His Presence as Charity”, she provides the debate between Harry Belafonte and Jay-Z on their opinions of the definition of charity. Belafonte articulates that’s Jay-Z does not use his celebrity status to get involved in political and social issues. However, Jay-Z disagrees with Belafonte and argues that he consistently uses his presence as a symbol of his social responsibility, thus justifying his definition of charity. Jay-Z’s opinion is rational. By using rap music and methods of technology, Jay-Z contributes to the society in customs that some women and men cannot appreciate. Jay-Z proves that Harry Belafonte’s criticism does not apply to him. In the course of the rally for Trayvon Martin’s justice, Jay-Z and Beyoncé make their appearance. However, at the function Jay-Z pronounces, “I’m not here to do interviews, thank you”. Strictly about his business, and the seriousness of the gathering, Jay-Z presents himself only to pay homage to the slain teen and not to epitomize himself for the paparazzi. President Barack Obama’s second inauguration is another period when Jay-Z shows social responsibility. Broadcasted on television is Jay-Z and Beyoncé sitting at the inauguration. However, the seats that the power couple is sitting in are not just any seats, they are front row seats. Yet again, Jay-Z is physically shown representing himself for the black community; but he portrays charity in other customs...

...Francis Bacon: "The Secretary of Nature" Bacon's real claim to fame is: not that he, as the lord chancellor, in 1621, was removed from office for accepting a litigant's bribe; nor, that he was the real writer of the Shakespearean plays (one of the controversies in English literature, the "Baconian controversy")3; but rather Francis Bacon is known as a philosopher, one of the first order. Bacon delineated the principles of the inductive method, which constituted a breakthrough in the approach to science, even though philosophers and scientists of the day, - and seemingly today, yet - repudiated both his theories and methodology, alike. Bacon argued that the only knowledge of importance to man was empirically rooted in the natural world; and that a clear system of scientific inquiry would assure man's mastery over the world. He was the originator of the expression, "Knowledge is power." He was quite taken up by the "materialist" theories and the resultant discoveries of both Copernicus and Galileo. Bacon, along with Galileo, are known in the literature as "the great anti-Aristotelians who created the 'modern scientific' view of Nature." Francis Bacon was born at London. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, at the age of twelve. He studied law and became a barrister in 1582; two years later he took a seat in the House of Commons. His opposition, in 1584, to Queen Elizabeth's tax program retarded his political advancement. While in the earlier days he supported the Earl of Essex...

...Analyse des Marktes von Tierschutzvereine/-heime: Eine qualitative Studie der Beschreibung von Tierdienstleistungen und Identifikation von Kundentypen Wissenschaftliche Arbeit zur Erreichung des Grades Bachelor of Arts ZUSAMMENFASSUNG DER ARBEIT Der Markt für Tierdienstleistungen von Tierschutzvereinen/-heimen ist unerforscht. Ebenso existieren keine Forschungsergebnisse über das Kundensegment des Zielmarktes von Tierschutzdienstleistungen. Die Arbeit „Analyse des Marktes von Tierschutzvereine/heime und deren Tierdienstleistungen“ legt daher einen besonderen Schwerpunkt auf die Identifizierung von Kundentypen und stellt wichtige Informationen für das Geschäftsmodell des Dienstleisters dar. Die Forschungslücken werden zum einen durch eine Marktanalyse für das Dienstleistungsangebot von Tierschutzvereinen/-heimen geschlossen. Zum anderen werden die Kundentypen durch eine qualitative Interviewstudie und einem induktiv entwickelten Kategoriensystem identifiziert. Insgesamt sind nur drei der sieben bestimmten Kundentypen lukrativ für das Geschäftsmodell des Dienstleisters. Die Kundentypen der bisherigen Forschung bilden in dieser Arbeit lediglich Idealtypen ab. Es bedarf einer feineren Analyse. Diese sollen Aspekte der eigenen Persönlichkeit sowie demographische, geographische und biographische Faktoren berücksichtigen, um die Facetten eines Typen einheitlich zu erfassen. 1 EINLEITUNG UND PROBLEMSTELLUNG Bisher ist wenig bekannt über die Marktstrukturen und dem Dienstleistungsangebot...

Reelle Polynome n-ten Grades haben zwar insgesamt n Nullstellen in C, aber die nichtreellen Nullstellen treten in Paaren auf, die sich zu quadratischen Faktoren zusammenfassen lassen: Ist Q reelles Polynom und z = u+iv komplexe (nichtreelle) Nullstelle (dann ist auch z = u−iv Nullstelle), so ist (x − z)(x − z) = x2 − 2ux + (u2 + v2) reell unzerlegbarer quadratischer Faktor.
