Michelle Carter Michelle Carter is a 21-year-old lady who encouraged her boyfriend to kill himself when she was at the age of 17. Conard Roy III, at the age of 18, was Carter’s boyfriend, who suffered from depression and had tried to kill himself on another occasion (Fieldstadt). On the day that Roy III died, Carter told Roy to get back into the pickup, which he was committing suicide in by filling it with poisonous fumes. During the trial, Carter pleaded not guilty and opted for a bench trial. The judge decided she was liable for involuntary manslaughter and sentenced her for 15 months and five years’ probation in 2017. My opinion is that Michelle Carter committed homicide, for she urged her boyfriend, Ray III, to go ahead with his plans of killing himself even after he had second thoughts about going through with his suicide plans. Michelle’s actions are classified as negligent manslaughter, for she urged Roy III to get back in the pickup and go on with his idea of killing himself without knowing whether he would…

The Jadid movement The Jadid movement is a movement that came to be in the early19th Century that embraced technology, science, politics and modernity in general. Central Asia, which comprised of the Muslims of the Russian empire, before the early19th Century, was filled with Muslims who took religion to the extent of fanaticism. Apart from religious excessiveness, Central Asia in the 19th Century was backward and full of illiteracy. Central Asia lacked technology, political embrace and modernity in general. It is through a group of plucky upstarts who are referred to as Jadids, that the effects of ignorance and backwardness were highlighted and pushed for the embrace of new ideas, new ways of thinking, technology and modernity. Jadid movement came to be as the result of the Jadid, pushing for modernity and change of how Central Asia Muslims carried out their religious beliefs. The Jadidst approach to Islam The Jadidst approach of Islam differed significantly from that which preceded it for it was not self-centred, but rather it was for the betterment of the society. Central Asia Islam before…
third-party delivery I believe that third-party delivery is not entirely reliable. The outsourced companies may fail to visualize the goal intended by its hiring company. A good example is the FedEx franchise. The company experienced a considerable backlash of failure to deliver goods on time. Moreover, third- party delivery caused some road accidents. There was a report on the death of an 84-year old woman caused by a speedy third party delivery van(O’ Donovan and Bensinger 2019). I would suggest that Amazon get more involved by compensating the family of the deceased because firing the third party delivery was not enough. I would also advise Amazon to observe safety rules by participating in the recruiting process of third party delivery drivers. Also, by offering their strict guidelines and regulations to control road killings and injuries. I support Amazon for taking action against FedEx by temporarily ending their contracts until they meet Amazon standards. However, I suggest that Amazon should consider the repercussion of contract termination on third party users and delivery companies. In conclusion, I believe that Amazon’s third-party delivery…
Druids and Celtic mythology part 4 Celtic creation story Most scholarly experts begin their analysis on the subject of the Druids’ story by referring to the classical accounts. The Roman and Greek observers wrote the reports, which contain the individuals’ agendas and perspectives. Even so, the reports are fascinating, and they refer to the late Iron Age era. The Druid community believe that before the universe was formed, there was a void. The only thing that existed in the vacuum was silence, but a holy breath came upon it. Therefore, the void started to turn (Leeming, 14). It is in the process of that turning that a shape arose. As the shape set, moved and drew in, the edges of the void started to form. The sides began to appear like iron as the formation continued. Eventually, the shape grew into the big revolving Cauldron, which held the void in its heart. The Cauldron turned around to make the first sound. It was the only note, which filled the vacuum (Leeming, 15). The sound of a song that praised its…

Lamentation in the Rastafarian society through music Music is a feature of daily life, representing an array of constructs and thoughts from different cultures. Songs of lament function as an emotional release during crisis, death, or tragedy. Mostly, the songs end by indicating that there might be hope in the future. “Rivers of Babylon” has been chosen for this essay. It is a song of lament that was sung by The Melodians, a group from Jamaica. The song was recorded in 1970 as a Rastafarian song. Rastafarianism refers to a religious association amongst the black Jamaicans that explains the restoration of Africans and their going back to Africa. The Rastafarians employ the usage of marijuana as a ritual and honor Haile Selassie as a god. In this paper, a lyrical analysis of the song will be provided. Therefore, it will give a better understanding of how this song is lamentation. . The “Rivers of Babylon” adapts its lines from the Bible in psalms 19 and 137. The only line that was adapted from psalms 19 was, “let the words of…
Response to “Don’t Get Me Wrong: The Art of Metacommentary,” Response to “Don’t Get Me Wrong: The Art of Metacommentary,” We have probably used metacommentary in our essay without realizing it. According to Graff and Birkenstein (2010), metacommentary is a way of commenting on your claims and telling others how—and how not—to think about them. The authors note that metacommentary should be clearly distinguished from the main statements “metatexts,” for which it is clarifying and interpreting. A clear distinction between metatext and metacommentary is essential in preventing readers from misinterpreting the metatexts. Besides, Graff and Birkenstein (2010) argue that metacommentary is not just a way of supporting the writer’s ideas but also a way of allowing the readers to view the writer’s work from a different perspective. Generally, metacommentary relates to the methods writers add supplementary texts to support their main statements and thus adding a different view that quickly makes sense to the intended reader. I agree with the author’s argument that metacommentary is useful tools in expanding the length and depth of an essay. Graff and Birkenstein (2010)…
HOW ONE PARTY CAN HAVE AN ADVERSE LASTING EFFECT Introduction The Mexican PRI stands for Institutional Revolutionary Party written in Spanish as Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI). The party goes on record as having ruled Mexico for over six decades without giving up power, and most interestingly, opposition existed all through. It is believed the reason the party reigned for such a very long time without much worry is that the party leaders stayed grounded and loyal to themselves and their interests. These meant they were united on one course, which stayed in power the longest time possible. This long tenure of despotism did not go well for the Mexicans, as it is evident this bred a lot of impunity in the state. The electoral body was bribed more often to manipulate election results; the ever-rising cries of repeated election fraud proves this. The PRI also enjoyed the “love” from their humongous crowds of voters. This was enough to keep them in power for decades. PRI would later leave a very large scar in the lives of the Mexicans with…
