Lorde review Equality is one of the most undermined aspects in society today. Everyone thinks that there is no better being than who they are in the contemporary world. The point of reference for judgment and assessment is no longer about what is wrong and what is right, but of the subject individual who is making the decision. Thus if we are not like the other person, there is no way they will come to acknowledge our ideologies. And considering that society is made of different people in the aspects of gender, race, and age, equality will become an almost unachievable goal. And that is the position that Lorde is addressing in this essay, her being black, lesbian, socialist, mother and a member of an interracial couple makes her not just an inferior person in the society but a typical deviant. This paper is an exploration of how she handles and talks about the popular intersectional feminism. In the third page, the third paragraph, Lorde assesses the difference that lies in the privileges of the white woman over the black…
Law enforcement Law enforcement is integral in the prevention and mitigation of crimes on soft targets such as malls. Based on my experience as the director of security, the lack of enough security personnel is the most vulnerable aspect regarding the mall. A majority of malls have been identified as targets since the government is focused on securing hard targets such as military and government institutions. According to Hesterman (2018), attacks on crowded areas have led to an increase in the number of casualties. The mall is a source of entertainment for numerous individuals in the community. The presence of three security officers in a large mall makes them vulnerable and attractive to terrorists. The latter will easily access the building using the various blind spots where there is little surveillance from the officers. Additionally, the lack of surveillance cameras around the mall exposes the visitors the terrorist threats. In this case, cameras in different areas around the mall will allow the officers to monitor movements and identify unusual activities. As the director of security, a realistic approach would be…

Why do you think, “Sex sells” when our culture traditionally has had a problem openly talking about sexuality? One of the unique features of human beings is sexuality, and there are various dimensions attributed to this notion. Different factors contribute to the hindrance of open discussion concerning this subject, starting from religious beliefs to misunderstood facts and deceptive thoughts (Day, 2005). Through sexuality, there is an enormous curiosity drawn as well as a compelling attraction. Although the topic has not yet gained open discussion, the reason for sex selling is the attraction to sexuality in a rather discreet manner. Sex sells because it appeals to traditional sex roles. Ladies place the physical attractiveness of the males high on their list of values (Lucas & Fox, 2018). Through this notion, then sex appeal is not a false or superficial value. Other people see it as a man being a sex object where his sex appeal is what all matters. If one thinks they are a hunk, then the world becomes at their feet, sexually speaking. Such is only stereotyping. In the…
The changing stages in relationships The changing stags in relationships is a common phenomenon in almost every society. The understanding of love is the main thing that shifts as people go through different levels of relationships. With news covering various items on celebrities and politician relationship life, it is essential to assess how an individual’s view on love is affected. For this paper, an older adult was interviewed to understand how they have viewed love as they went through dating, engagement, marriage, divorce, singlehood, and remarrying. The interview revealed that the perception of intimacy and love change over time. The respondent said that throughout her life, she has witnessed every generation handle their relationship matters differently. The vivid revelation is that every stage of relationship does have its unique needs that, when absent, results in termination. According to (Hull, Meier & Ortyl, 2014, P. 2), “partners in a pure relationship establish trust through intense communication, yet the possibility of breakups always looms.” No matter how strong the relationship is, failure to meet the needs of the other can always lead…

exemplary leadership Leadership is the ability to guide individuals, teams, or groups towards accomplishing specific goals or achieving a shared vision. There is often a debate on whether leaders are born, or it is a learned behavior. However, exemplary leaders work to make others feel strong, able, and devoted. They strengthen the capability of people to deliver their promises. Exemplary leadership focuses on five competent practices, including “modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, and encouraging the heart” (Cutler, 2014). Although exemplary leadership is challenging because of responsibilities and pressure that come with it, successful leaders possess effective skills and qualities. From my professional career as an accountant in one of the real estate companies in the state, the organizational manager is one of the exemplary leaders that I have come across. First, his behavior is relative to exemplary leadership style because he possesses leadership skills and innate qualities; thus, a born leader. The five leadership competencies of an exemplary leader behavior make a considerable difference in his devotion and work performance. His…

Mass communication, propaganda and persuasion In the modern and globalized world, there are rapid changes in technology and the way people are adopting it. More so, the way people entertain themselves, communicate, and influence each other through the mass media has evolved rapidly. The authors explain that communication may lead to persuasion, which consequently brings about change in opinions, attitudes and behaviours. Beliefs and biases play a very crucial role in persuading a person, especially when there is a choice. For instance, our phones have changed the way people transact their day-to-day business. Phones are used for entertainment, getting directions through GPS, booking air travel, shopping and doing research. Perhaps this is why most people spend more than 25% of their wake hours glued on their phones. The drastic advance in the mass communication sector has led to increased concerns about social interactions and well-being of the people concerning media consumption. The mass communication advancement has brought about improved social interactions in one hand and deteriorated them on the other side. In page 155, the authors’ states that mass communication…
Racial minorities in the US Criminal Justice system It is known historically that minorities in the United States of America are put in jail more frequently than White Americans. It all started with slavery and how African Americans were enslaved for almost a century. Black people were seen as barbaric and living without civilization, so white people believed they should take matters into their own hands. It then expanded into a Black versus White controversy. African Americans were enslaved with no rights and liberty, as opposed to White slave masters who were seen as royalty and held power within their communities. After the abolition of slavery, the hatred towards African Americans continued with discrimination and segregation. Black people were being thrown in jail at alarming rates at this time since there were many protesting against the laws and situations occurring because of the new laws being put into place. Even today, this still stands true. Racism is still a hot topic in present-day American society. Many White Americans would beg to differ since they do not have to experience…
