Name Course Instructor Book Report of My Grandfather’s Son by Clarence Thomas The subject of how Thomas became successful lies in his due diligence since his early years from a growing village lad to a great man of influence in America. Maybe the absolute most extensive power of an American President is the capacity to designate adjudicators to sit on the US Supreme Court. To his rise, this is how it happened; the two Bush Presidents designated four of the nine-part court. This furious, conflicting and disillusioned ‘diary’ constantly, Judge Clarence Thomas, accidentally passed on the woeful legal inheritance the Bushes were to leave 21st-century America. Thomas, who was 59, was just the second African-American to sit in the Supreme Court. He succeeded the first, Thurgood Marshall. After the debilitated Marshall resigned in 1991, the main Bush organization set about a close unthinkable undertaking: finding a certified black adjudicator who might seek after indistinguishable political dreams from those of the white, conservative first class represented by Bush the senior. They picked Thomas, whom not many accept was capable. In the…

Prescriptive Prescriptive is a methodology to language that is apprehensive with an uprising norm or incorrect and correct formulating rules and its usage on these standards. In comparison, descriptive is a methodology of nonjudgmental language that is focused on the correct or actual language custom by its writers and speaker (Stout, Dietrich, et al.). Descriptivism and Prescriptivism are two distinct approaches to linguistic norms and grammar. Prescriptivism explains how language should be used, whereas descriptivism describes how language is used (Schlinger, Henry). It is also essential to understand that prescriptive refers to the belief that there are correct and wrong to use languages. An attempt to lay down rules stating the proper use of the language.

Christian abstraction essay Christian abstraction refers to Christian art, whereby there is the use of themes and images that are related to Christianity. Most groups in Christianity have used art to the extent that brings strong objection about the role of images in religion. Abstraction in Christianity is outlined in pictures of Jesus and the narration of scenes derived from his life. The art from the Old Testament plays a significant role in dominating Christian abstraction. However, the images of the Virgin Mary and the saints are not mostly used among the Protestants, but Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy make use of them. Christianity makes more extensive use of images when compared to other religions, whereby most religions forbid the use of images to represent supreme beings in the faith(North, 2017). For instance, it is prohibited for Islam and those practicing Judaism to use pictures to describe some crucial people in those religions. Therefore, Christian abstraction is the use of images, and these are a representation of the essential creatures of the Christian faith. The political difference between the Christians…

Embracing Others The speech from the Ted talk by Ms. Newton is quite impeccable in terms of the need for unity and togetherness in the face of a more diversified world with several races and ethnic groups. In her speech, Ms. Newton (2011) has categorically introduced the concept of embracing others as a critical key to success. In her remarks, I feel the speaker is trying to appeal to the audience that there is a need for unity as opposed to establishing self-enclaves based on social, racial, or ethnic backgrounds. She asserts that the notion of self is a projection that is constructed by individuals and the society towards others and does not have biological significance. The views of Newton (2011) are quite right in the corporate world! Management needs to accept diversity and hire employees from different racial backgrounds. Besides, there is a need to establish acculturation among the various employees to come up with oneness and unity. Additionally, I feel the speech by Newton goes beyond the interaction between the management and the employees and encompasses even environmental…
