Essays on Rush

The main belief that Bennett communicates is coordinated charity; she is opposed to uncoordinated charity work. She says that results in delay in the most efficient emergency responses from trained people such as the army, firefighters, and medical practitioners (Bennett). I am in agreement with the author’s claims. Moreover, I am impressed by the way she blatantly attacks the people that involve themselves with the emergency responses yet they have no training at all. The society needs such authors that illuminate the real issues facing different communities. Additionally, the fact that the author provides alternatives for people to ...

Discussion 2

Californios? Manifest destiny was a concept used by the Americans as a vision to enhance the expansion of their country regarding its exceptional behaviour, its size and regarding the general importance of the country globally. California began growing rapidly when deposits of gold were found in it. Many people came to California to trade for gold in the gold rush, and in the process, California turned from a remote, deserted land to a busy growing place. For example, San Francisco substantially grew from a small settlement of about 800 people to a big city of about hundred thousand people ...

Suburbanization entails the shift of the human population from the urban centers to the suburban regions leading to a phenomenon known as the urban sprawl. Many Americans now opt to reside in satellite communities otherwise known as suburbs commuting to and fro their workplaces using automobiles. The NPR report provides a vivid example of a family that left the city to live in the suburbs to avoid the rising costs of accommodation. Although it appears as if the move by the household and millions of other American families is a wise choice financially, it has serious implications on the ...

Introduction

An ecosystem is defined as the interaction of the organism and other nonliving factors in a certain community. The living components of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, and other organisms, can be classified as the biotic component of the ecosystem, whereas the environmental conditions such as water amount, humidity, soil nourishment, temperature, and the like are termed as the abiotic factors. In an ecosystem, both the existing biotic and abiotic factors determine what kind of species live there. For example, turtles, which require a large amount of water to live in cannot possibly hope to survive in arid ...

This paper answers two fundamental questions in two sections. They will cover aspects of the AAS course and provide an insight into relevant issues and matters relating to the Asian American community and history.

Question 1: Race, Racialization and the Law

Asian Americans were always viewed in the context of “Asian immigrants”. This is for several reasons. First of all, the history of the United States rising as a prosperous nation happened from the east coast. And for various reasons, the first colonies created in the 1600s were made up almost exclusively of migrants from the British Isles. However, as time went on, the colonies expanded ...

All for Love

No matter what century and place in the world we are living in, there will always exist some eternal topics that are close to each human being. One of such topics is definitely love.

Introduction

Naturalization is the process by which a non-citizen becomes an American citizen. The Naturalization Act of 1790 was one of the first naturalization act of the United States. The act was concerned with the legalizing of citizens in the United States. This was owed to the fact that during the time, the country had different classes of people as well as people from different races. The naturalization act of 1790 paved way for discriminative and racist behavior in the American system, a concept that has continued to influence the mindset of the American people.

Summary of the Naturalization Act of 1790

Introduction

For years, the average age that people get married has been on the rise. The aspect introduces the query of why individuals are willing to wait longer before tying the knot. The once great institutions of marriage, going to church, being a member of a political association have become hollow in the presence of today’s young adults. This essay attempts to outline the various factors that make the millennial generation unwilling to get married at an early or considerable age. The paper will conceptualize on three probable causes of the delayed marriages. They include the development of personal ...

Gold was the first metals to be mined and is held with great value. It plays a major role in the global economy and has caused wars, myths and mass migrations. This was the case for California when the first traces of gold were discovered in California. Isolation, struggles and alcohol led to the numerous incidences of violence such as homicides and lynching among other violent crimes. The fortune seekers had to endure miserable conditions for shelter and pay exorbitant prices for supplies. California is an example of a ghost of the many gold rush cities in history. The ...

There is an anecdote about Wittgenstein that seems to encapsulate his presence in the minds of 20th and 21st century theorists; Keynes was waiting for Wittgenstein to arrive and spoke to his companion, ‘God has arrived and on the afternoon train.’ It is hardly presumptive to say that theories of language, logic, and philosophy writ large have been forever changed by wittgenstein. However, the particularities of these changes are often confused and misrepresented. The irony then is how such confusion and misrepresentation demonstrate the work Wittgenstein was trying to accomplish in the first place: to assess how language constructs ...

Everyone loves a good opportunity that could change his or her life. The discovery of gold in California by James Marshall in 1848 led to one of the greatest and most profitable such situations in recorded history: the Gold Rush. With the hope of radically changing their lives, many people flocked to this State, in particular to San Francisco. The people that were closer got there quicker and profited more from the situation. Nevertheless, as connections were not the same at the time, others got wind of the situation later, and took even more time to actually get there; ...

The problem

Analysis of the case Alternative solutions Before making the final recommendation for the current problem, let’s have a look at the possible alternatives to the current issues for James.

Northern Rush can have external funding in the form of startup loan from banks or private investors.

James can sell his idea to the current competitors in terms of creating a separate business venture for targeting the university students. James can hire an external analyst agency to estimate the possible feasibility of the business and its proposed profitability by reforming the marketing and financial planning.

Recommendations and the suggested Plan

The recommendation for the current business proposal of Northern Rush to Murray James is to start with an investment and undergo ...

The Columbian accident is primarily how the political environment influenced the decision to launch the space shuttle in Columbia, who was involved and who was not. The political climate during the launch of the shuttle was that of pressure on the NASA station. A good example of how NASA deals with these pressures is analyzing what the then, Norman Augustine concluded to as the gross underfunding of NASA would affect its projects in a negative light. He proposed a budget that would favor the space exploration, but these pleas fell on the deaf ears of those who had the ...

The obsession with gold in California started in January 1848 when James Marshall found gold at approximately 40 miles from the Sutter’s Fort. All that followed after James’ find was extreme obsession to find the precious commodity not only in California but the rest of America. From the period henceforth, the prospect for gold became dramatic as everyone else was seeking to lay hands on the commodity (Brands 56). It is hard to imagine what could have happened if a whole population stopped their usual economic activities only to look for gold. James’ find not only transformed people’ ...

Rock and roll began to emerge shortly after the Second World War somewhere in the mashup of cultures and peoples that comprise the American South. It is a hybrid form whose mixed heritage is marked by poor blacks singing Delta blues, hillbilly descendants of Scots-Irish immigrants, working-class factory heroes, Christian country folk, and urban teens crooning a cappella on street corners. Its journey of 70 or so years has taken it from the margins of society to the center of today’s multi-billion dollar global music industry. Its course can be charted by examining a select handful of the ...

Modern day streets in our urban settings are named after historical figures, and they bear immense significance. One of such streets is Clement Street in the Richmond District of San Francisco, California. San Francisco is the smallest county in the state of California. It covers an area of under 50 square miles, with a population of more than 200, 000 people. Part of California City is the Richmond District. The focus of this paper, Clement Street is at the heart of Richmond District. In the 1800s, Adolph Sutro moved into an arid area filled with shrubs and sand dunes. ...

What 2008 events gave rise to the need for this legislation?

The need for the Dodd-Frank Act (which complete name is the “Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act”) was given rise by the financial crisis of 2007–08. This crisis triggered the Great Recession, an event many economists consider the worst crisis in the financial markets since the 1930’s (Dodd-Frank Financial Regulatory Reform Bill Definition, 2016). The United States had suffered a “housing bubble” – an unexpected and sharp increase in real estate prices, fueled by easy credit, that lasted over a decade – which had burst in 2004. Many traded financial instruments had their value directly or ...

Introduction to Manual

This manual comprehensively explores the impact of natural disasters on students. While the capstone provides a general account of the issue, it later focuses on the country of Saudi Arabia. The information takes a clear look at different natural disasters and categorize them by their regions. Yet, one of the arguments is that a natural disaster can occur anywhere and part of the goal of a government is to prepare citizens for a “just in case”. There are different scenarios that play out in this project. The focal point of the research is the goal in making sure children ...

Slide 2:

In the modern world today, we face as a global culture the inclination of civil wars and political crises and displacement of peoples. The quote mentioned above refers to the displacement of people due to natural and political disasters. When these disasters transpire, individuals are typically living in sub-standard living conditions. What ends up happening as a result is that people are exposed to living conditions with lower sanitation that were seen many centuries ago. This subjects these populations to diseases that they may have not been subject to previously. In order to combat this epidemic, we have to ...

Analysis of Leadership in the Film “Into the Wild”

Introduction It is difficult to define leadership. There are multiple opinions regarding this topic. Some experts think it is an innate ability of a person to lead; the others insist that there is no such thing as a natural born leader, as every individual has a potential for leadership. These are diametrically opposite views towards leadership, yet both of them have important points. Those who claim leaders are born, emphasize the significance of their relationship with family and resources available in the early age. The opposite view focuses on the training, learning, and the ability of a person to ...

Falling in love can be just as powerful as sniffing a line of cocaine. In fact, studies have shown that the effect cocaine has on the brain sometimes provokes similar chemical reactions as those caused by the feeling of being in love. However, despite love sometimes being classified as a natural stimulant, it could also be harmful to human health in certain situations. And given such similarities, the neural enhancement of both these stimulants should be taken both cautiously and seriously. In the scientific and common literature, love is almost always regarded as being a benefit to a person's ...

Introduction

Human nature is a debate that has gone on for centuries. Recently, and more specifically, the nature of a child has become a heated topic. More and more children are being diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, ADD, and attention deficit hyperactive disorder, ADHD. Does this mean that as a whole, each generation of children has become increasingly difficult to keep focused on tasks at hand? As a result of this concept, as well as the increase in these diagnoses, more children are being prescribed medications to help “control” their focus. However, with the medications being prescribed affecting the child’ ...

Anti-Asian agitation is a general sentiment that refers to opposition, discrimination or hostility against the Chinese people or rather people of Asian origin. This topic is interesting because it has somehow gone unnoticed over the years until the modern days. It involves discrimination of the Asian traditions, culture, and even politics. One may tend to think that this sentiment is a modern day issue. However, it began in the 19th century, in the yellow peril, and was further extended to the Cold War times and even more heightened by McCarthyism. The Asians, precisely the Chinese, thought they had found ...

In the years 1807 -1912 people settled in the western areas of the United States, and all points in between the east coast and the Pacific Ocean. This period is known as the Westward Expansion. The expansion began on the east coast and continued to the Pacific Ocean, where the pioneers settled and began to colonize the areas in between. It seemed that the land was available to be claimed and thousands of natives were pushed off their ancestral lands to make way for the white settlers. Although white civilization had been established in the Eastern United States ...

Introduction

Mining activities can pose serious environmental and health implications. Although, these environmental and health hazards can be mitigated and effectively managed through sound engineering and environmental practices, these environmental and health issues associated with mining operations could not be totally eradicated. In general, there are three major players in the mining industry: the company, which include the employees and the stockholders; the regulatory bodies, which include the government and other national and international environmental organizations; and the community, which are not directly related to the mining industry, but is impacted by its operations. Each one of these stakeholders has ...

Even though the building of cities has a long and a correspondingly complex history, the concept of city planning as an organized profession has only been around for less than a century (Garvin). Practiced under several names (town, community, urban land use, or physical environment planning), most cities in the current modernistic concept of planning display considerable degrees of forethought and conscious design not only in their physical layout but also in their functioning. Today, the building of cities is done for several reasons that bear in mind the diversity potential of urban forms and the complex functions that ...

The American Revolution was a political uprising that occurred between 1765 and 1783 during which the colonists in the 13 American colonies rejected British governance, and overthrew the Great Britain authority thus founding the United States of America. During this period, women stepped up their roles in assuming responsibilities, some of which were deemed as masculine in nature. Those women that chose to become involved in politics via boycotts became known as the Daughters of Liberty. Some women became camp followers, not wanting to be separated from their husbands, fathers and other loved ones. Those that were closest to ...
