Response to Critical Reading Slave narratives account for the establishment of white sovereignty in the South from slavery in the 18th century to early 20th-century disfranchisement and segregation (Bouie, Louis, and Onion). These narrations gave expression to lineages of black individuals who, despite not being included in the white southern narratives. Anticipated to deliberate witness slavery account, many of those who were enslaved became I-witnesses as well, revealing their struggle (Burt). A lot of these narratives and writings gained momentum in the South as many wanted to know what transpired during those times. Contextual and political power influence would not have granted the writers such an opportunity to have the slave story told. If at all these accounts could be narrated, then I suppose a lot of alterations to fit the white supremacy would have been reflected in the narrations. The aspects of the 1930s WPA that we have read include the enormous unemployment of the Great Depression and are considered unemployment workers on public-works projects. However, the government tried to put people back to work and helped writers…
Zenger Excerpt From the excerpt, Zenger defence led by Mr Hamilton perfectly executes the use of the rhetoric expression of liberty. The use of the rhetoric of liberty is often persuasive, convincing and mind jogging. Mr Hamilton uses this method to counter the prosecutor and to instil self-awareness or reminder of the matters of freedom to everyone in the courtroom. Rhetoric validation of the libel publication Mr Hamilton, in his opening remarks, terms the libel publication as real, but in a hidden encounter of the attorney’s statements not terming it as a false publication. This gives a sounding first time win on the part of the defence team of Zenger. The other rhetoric validation of the libel comes in when he concludes by emphasizing that the publication were for the best cause and anyone who believed in liberty and freedom of the people would support the cause. Suggestively saying that prosperity of the people requires individuals like Zenger who will expose the ill in the government. The defence cited that they have been denied the liberty of proving the truth…
Putting Social Advocacy Skills into Action A social problem is a condition or behavior that negatively affects a large number of people (objective component) and is widely recognized as an issue that needs to be addressed (subjective component). Homelessness is both a complex political and social problem with several combinations of factors leading to it: uncertain physical and mental health, domestic abuse, lack of affordable housing, unemployment, community and family breakdown, and addictions. Being homeless entails living without shelter but could also include those experiencing partial homelessness, such as living in sub-standard or temporary shelters. Homelessness in America is prevalent, as about 3.5 million people are living on the streets or in a shelter (Erickson & Wilhelm, 2017). Moreover, a more significant number of 7.5 million share living spaces, as they cannot afford the high housing costs. These levels of homelessness in America have been influenced by public policy choices such as affordability and housing supply, eligibility for housing assistance, and welfare spending. Homelessness became a national issue in the 1870s, facilitated by industrialization, urbanization, mobility, and the construction…
Effect of Media on Children Children’s growth and development not only include physical changes but also changes in their personality, thinking, emotions, behavior, and speech as they begin to interact more with the world and understand how it works. Various factors contribute to these changes, and it is the role of parents to ensure that their children are only exposed to elements that positively influence them. As the use of technology proliferates the everyday lives of families, the media’s influence on the psychosocial development of children is significant. Parents find it difficult to control their children’s exposure to the media; hence many children spend hours in front of the television and computers and on their phones from a formative age. Although there are benefits that accrue from the media, early and uncontrolled exposure could have adverse psychosocial effects in terms of their ability to create and maintain relationships due to an impact on their attention span, social skills, and the results of cyberbullying. The influence of media on children’s development can be traced back to hundreds of years. However,…

Ineligible school or ineligible children Introduction: A good and active teacher is one who not only masters his subject matter but also has full access to his professional skills and above all, always keeps his attitude positive. He has to build generations. He is a role model of children and his positive attitude plays a very important role in the training of children.

Investigating the relationship between adult attachment style, emotion regulation strategies, and academic achievement. Introduction It is without a doubt that development in adulthood is largely impacted by early experiences that an individual had during their childhood. One aspect about adulthood development is the formation of relationships which primarily stems from attachment between one person and another. To a great extent, the nature and characteristic of these attachments are greatly determined by the initial characteristic bond made between a mother and a child. There exist comprehensive studies which show how, during the preliminary moments of life, an infant develops a rhythmical link to the mother, such that the voice and reactions of both the mother and child become synchronized (Malekpour, 2007). The mother-child bond makes up the early emotional experiences which mould the structural growth patterns that determine a developing individual’s expanding capacities of functional growth. The mother-child attachment dictates one’s personal identity. To create meaning of these early experiences and their effect on adult development, attachment theories have been established. More specifically, while drawing on the concepts from cybernetics, ethology,…
