What do these various forms of activism tell us about Black women’s response to economic and political reforms? By joining various activism groups such as the Communist Party (CP), Unemployed councils (UC), the League of Struggles for Negro Rights (LSNR), and International Labor Defense (ILD) so as to address issues that resulted from the various economic and political reforms, we learn that the Black American women, being tired of their suffering due to discrimination, were ready to fight for their rights and have amends made in the unfair political systems. The women resisted many of these reforms such as being laid off ‘because they were married or they had dependent children’ and being put on welfare and training programs such as “practice house”. Harris (2009) says “depression took its toll on virtually every facet of African American life.” In turn, during the 1930s many working-class black women looked to the CP and other militant groups for assistance in confronting the day-to-day problems of unemployment, unfair relief distribution, and persistent race-based discrimination’. The women had come to the realization that their…

Book summary The book by Fred Donner has provided a vivid description of the religious, social, and political movements during the early years, which would expand its popularity base to a significant international religion. Donner Fred’s (2010) ambitions in his book have a precise focus yet simple.

Critical Thinking Paper On Islam and Biblical World Views According to the Muslim faith, the universe originated from a cloud of smoke that was hovering in the space. They believe that God created the universe from this smoke. He created the sun, moon, stars, planets and the galaxies (Islam-Guide.com, 2016). This supports the big bang theory where God made each planet, moon and the sun and placed them on their orbits. According to the Quran, humanity originated from Allah, who created man from the earth and on the earth. This worldview of the Muslims is similar to that of the Bible in that God created the universe. According to the Bible, God commanded the celestial beings to be, and they emerged. The action followed a specific sequence with each of the heavenly bodies having their duties, either to give light during the day or the night. The two world views are also similar in that humanity originated from God and was created for a specific reason. They are also identical in that man was created from the earth. However, they…
The Sexy Lie The Sexy Lie is a talk by Ted about sexual objectification and beauty standards. According to (“Heldman: The Sexy Lie”), Ted explains that sex encompassment entails treating an individual like a sex object. She gives examples of sexual exploitation of women, especially in the media. Often, women expose their bodies in public magazines and media platforms thinking that by so doing, their standards rise. Unfortunately, Ted says that the act is degrading, and women must object to the idea by all means. Besides, Ted contends that unlike many people think, makeup does not raise individuals’ self-esteem. Instead, makeup conceals a person’s real look, acting like a big sexy lie, and at the end of the talk, Ted takes off her make up. In my opinion, contemporary beauty standards are often contrary to those people praised in the past. Nowadays, among things, people focus more are the beautiful face, tiny waist, big booty, and flat tummy. Unfortunately, most of these goals are naturally unworkable. As a result, most women seek techniques that are sometimes overpriced and unsafe and…
Causes and Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic The SARS-CoV-2 will go down as a 21st century pandemic that shook the world after an outbreak that’s currently spreading to all corners of the world. The virus is the cause for the coronavirus disease also referred to as COVID-19, a respiratory disease outbreak that begun late last year in Wuhan China and spread across the world in a very short period. Based on the current scientific knowledge on the disease, COVID-19 outbreak was unpreventable although its spread into a global epidemic and the current status as a pandemic was evitable. In this discussion, we develop a cause-effect analysis on factors leading to the global spread of the disease and what implications it poses to the global society. One major cause for the high spread of the disease is the global unpreparedness for such a pandemic, which was bound to happen based on an historical account. In a 2015 Ted Talk, Bill Gates, co-chair of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation addressed his fear on global preparedness for a flu epidemic that would be more…
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK There are critical differences between the artificial intelligence and artificial neural network. Artificial intelligence is said to be the field that has the goal of making the machines of information. Therefore, the neural network gets considered as a stepping stone of the neural network.

He accompanied his father when he toured Venice to play the violin. Vivaldi joined the priesthood in 1693 but withdrew in 1703 due to chest pains, but since then, he concentrated more on his music aspirations. One of his famous works is the Four Seasons, which is a piece consisting of four sections, which are winter, autumn, summer, and spring. He composed the pieces to offer a musical representation of the four seasons in a year. Autumn turned out to be my…
