Reframing of Black Liberation What does it mean to reframe the civil rights movement and the black power movement through the lens and experiences of Black women? Reframing civil rights movements means the effort made by the black American women and their supporters in trying to fight for equal rights with the white American. Civil rights movement was a peaceful demonstration movement by the black Americans and their supporters. After the reformation of the civil rights movement, Black Americans, especially women, were able to move freely across the nation, and racial discrimination was banned. The civil rights movement emerged because the white Americans mistreated black Americans in jobs, accommodation, and public facilities; for example, African Americans were segregated in transport facilities. The most trending issue was rape cases by black Americans by white Americans. The black American women experienced rape from their employers and police officers. According to Hunter, “Freedom was meaningless without ownership and control over one’s own body.” Four white American men had raped one of the students, and it is at this point when the first case…

Citicorp Tower Facts The story of the design flaw that never almost wiped out an NYC skyscraper was about a tower, Citicorp Center, which was constructed in 1977, and it had 59 stories (Warner, 2014). After its completion, the building became the seventh-tallest in the world. The building was unique because the nine stories in the base were stilts. The architect of the building was Hugh Stubbins, and its chief engineer was William LeMessurier. The building had an ingenious-cutting edge design, and it was arrived at after considering the presence of St. Peters Lutheran Church, located at one corner of the building. At some point, LeMessurier was called by an undergraduate student who was learning architect and informed him that the tower would be blown away by the wind. According to the student, the tower was not able to tolerate quartering winds that would strike the building at its corners. The engineer did his research and validated the claims by the student, and the engineer had taken into consideration the perpendicular winds and assumed the quartering winds. LeMessurier secretly organized…

Week 4 Project: Downsizing Downsizing in organizations has never gone away; it has been present all this time. Companies insist that downsizing is needed to realize significant changes in the company structures. As such, companies give various reasons for downsizing the employee workforce. One of the reasons for downsizing is cost reduction (Redman & Wilkinson, 2006). For this reason, it seems viable for the interests of the company. With fewer employees, the company has less liability in terms of employee payroll. Another reason for downsizing is to attain productivity (Redman & Wilkinson, 2006). In most of these cases, the company decides to downsize employees and replace them with complex machines that do the same jobs. Downsizing for productivity seems a somewhat unethical move giving less consideration for the employees. Another reason for downsizing is outsourcing the same services. The company decides to outsource specific activities carried out by several employees for productivity and reduction in cost. Again, this reason for downsizing is only fair to the interests of the company. It seems unfair to let employees go just because the services they…

Social Theory What counts as a theory? The social theory looks at the daily interactions in human life, and they try to explain the concept behind the theory. Theories of social interaction provide a skeleton or perspective (a paradigm) that allows for an approach to some social phenomena.” We all have theories of the world (Brossard & Sallée, 2019). Some are academic. Some are conventional. Not all theories are academic. Some theories come from unlikely places, yet still function in the same way as academic theory.  Social theories determine the social interaction of individuals by influencing their behaviors. Social theory shows that some things in life are assumed to occur naturally. One nonacademic theory that I usually use to make sense of the world is loyalty between people. Loyalty between individuals always occurs naturally without people paying so much attention to it. This type of social theory is known as ethnomethodology; the method was created by Erving Goffman and Harold Garfinkel, who are both sociologists (Brossard & Sallée, 2019). For one to understand how people use social theories to make…

Degree Rational College Comparison Community Health Services (CHS) is a course I have always wanted to pursue when I join college. I will be joining college soon, and I have found that the course is being offered at Empire State (ES) college. I want to make a comparison of the colleges that offer similar courses related to CHS, which are being offered at ES college. The two colleges that I will be analyzing are Fordham University and John Jay College. Before joining any of the colleges, it is important to understand the specific knowledge areas related to CHS being offered from colleges.

At Fordham University, besides the technical aspects of the course, the college offers planning and organization skills, which are required by managers (Shelley & Thomas, 2016). While ate both ES college and John Jay College, they offer training skills and general aptitude courses.  Students pursuing CHS must also possess project management skills and research skills. Research skills are necessary for CHS professionals because they are required to come…
