We Must Tell Our Own Story

Introduction

There exists in the world of sociology some controversy between two theories of thought. The debate is usually over a question like this “Which has more control over an individual’s life agency or structure?”
One side argues that people are confined behind the boundaries of social structures. How a person behaves within the structure is controlled by the boundaries or his perception of the boundaries. How a person acts depends on how the social structure (or hierarchy of social structures) “allows” him to act. There is free will only as it fits into the power structure of social systems. ...

Martha Graham was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on May 11, 1894, but she moved to Santa Barbara, California in 1908, and it was there that she spent most of her early years. Her father was a physician who specialized in using physical movements to treat mental and neurological disorders, and it was he who would prove to be one of the greatest influences, both on Martha’s choice of career as a dancer and on how she used dance to portray images and emotions (A+E Network, 2012).
Perhaps the inciting moment of her professional life came when she was ...

Women have long been suppressed and prevented to hold higher office or positions since the ancient times. There were suppositions that women are not politically savvy or capable of handling responsibility outside the home, let alone have a voice in society. Some societies even restricted women from becoming educated to suppress their desire to fight for their rights. However, as the years progressed, societies around the globe slowly became divided in how they treat their female constituents. Jamaica, for instance, had been open to women empowerment but they still held certain reservations on allowing to dominate in the political arena. ...

When I was first assigned the task of reading the book, “Tell me a riddle” by Tillie Olsen, I was gained more understanding about what she went through as a feminist activist. This motivated me to search more about her life, because I thought that I had known enough about her life until this new discovery. Thus my intent of researching more about her works led me into writing this paper, to help analyze her life and work. However, I found this a difficult task than I had considered. First I wondered why her works had to be that deep. But by ...

What if Edmund Burke were alive today? London and Washington D.C. are bound together in so many ways whatever his modern views might be he would be an influence on the politics of both countries. Would he still be the conscience of morality for conservatives? In this essay we will look for insight to his moral and political perspective on the East India Trading Company and the French Revolution.
We neither think of the modern American ‘celebrity’ conservatives as having empathy for workers nor as being particularly fiscally responsible. Maybe that is why Edmund Burke’s reputation as ...

Lloyd Augustus Hall

Lloyd Augustus Hall’s contribution to science largely involves food preservation. Lloyd’s interest in food chemistry, a new area of chemistry, started while working at Boher Chemical Laboratory. Before his inventions, table salt (sodium chloride) was used as the major food preservative especially in preserving meat (Wilson and Jane, 34). However, table salt was not effective enough, as meat could only be preserved in a short period using this technique. Following various experiments, Lloyd came up with “flash-drying” technique as an alternative to table salt preservation. The technique involved a combination of sodium nitrate crystals and nitrite and sodium chloride, which ...

This article is a biographical collection of all that is known about ...

Rousseau’s writings include contradictions which still make his work much discussed. He was born three hundred years ago on June 28, 1712 in Geneva. In his lifetime his writings caused him to be thrown out of cities and he needed to move to different parts of Europe, spending some time in exile in England. After writing the book Émile he made both Protestant and Catholic leaders angry enough to ban him even when trying to support the church. And his friend Mary Wollstonecraft was very angry with him for how he portrayed women in the book. Maybe Rousseau ...

His main concern was to secure basic citizenship and voting rights for blacks, and his speaking style was far more like that of a preacher and prophet. A century after slavery was abolished, blacks still faced segregation, discrimination and lack ...

Jane Addams entered public life in an era not all that different from our own time: the Oval Office was inhabited by a succession of men who were, it seemed, much smaller than the times, too often treating the position as a way to confer privileges on cronies for four (or, quite infrequently, eight) years, sucking all of the possible prestige (and income) out of this position but doing very little in the way of inspiring or even leading the nation. This procession began with the Republican Party’s deal to effectively end Reconstruction if Rutherford B. Hayes could take office, ...
