Analysis of ‘I Have a Dream’ Using Kenneth Burke’s Pentad

Introduction There are many ways on how to analyze an action, including languages or speeches; and one of which is through the dramatic pentad. The Dramatic Pentad refers to the five methods developed by Kenneth Burke in analyzing human actions. According to scholars, the Burke’s Pentad to analyze questions such as “how persons explain their actions to themselves and others, what the cultural and social structural influences on these explanations might be, and what effect connotational links among the explanatory (motivational) terms might have on these explanations, and hence, on action itself” (Overington, 1977, p.133).

Introduction

In the 1940s, farm mechanization left many Black sharecroppers without work and displaced. In search of employment many of them left farms and started migrating to southern cities such as Birmingham and Atlanta and many others went further north and west. In their new homes African Americans worked as service workers and unskilled labors, and were treated as inferiors by the southern whites. Within the next decade, more than half of the African American population used to live in the poorest neighborhoods of American cities. They lived in overcrowded houses and paid astronomical rents in houses that were never ...

It is widely known that to obtain the necessary medical care for certain population groups is problematic. This applies especially to the elderly and to the people living below the poverty line. Since such people are often unable to afford the paid medical treatment, they have to rely only on the state aid. And such instruments in need are the government programs Medicaid and Medicare. Although these programs are quite different, they are both controlled by the division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Together they performed a great help for the certain groups of people ...

Racism in the United States continues to be a big issue nationally and in states, institutions, offices and daily commute. However, it is not as severe as it were in the past few centuries. Regardless of the vice, America should be at a point in life when everyone enjoys equality and a chance to interact with whoever they want. Racism is existent in concentrated areas like schools and prisons where different races forms alliances amongst themselves. It leads to constant racial fights and drifts. The new generation of racism should be a national issue whereby everyone should change their ...

As long as the Revolution of 1776 – 1783 established the United States, the Civil War 1861 – 1865 determined the kind of nation they are going to be. The war gave resolutions to two cardinal questions that remained unresolved by the Revolution: whether the United States are going to be a confederation of sovereign states or an impartible nation with a sovereign federal government, and whether it will remain in being the largest slave-owner nation in the world nevertheless it is born of a declaration which proclaims that all people have equal rights to liberty. When Abraham Lincoln won the ...

Education Segregation in the United States

Education is a critical component of a country’s future, and the quality of a country’s citizens determines the level of prosperity its community will enjoy. In multicultural societies emerging in the modern world, there exist variables among citizens that limit their access to education. An advanced country should have in place an education system that offers all children the chance to a quality education. Nonetheless, many advanced countries education systems displays weaknesses that inhibit the ability of some students to acquire a meaningful education.

INDIVIDUAL WRITEUP

Even though we are claiming that we are leaving in a free world where everyone has equal rights, there are still some forms of injustice that are done to women especially as far as employment and pay is concerned. Up to date, women pay still lags behind and what they are paid now on average could be equal to what men were paid over 10 years ago . There have been numerous efforts done so as to ensure that women get equal pay with their male counterparts and the question that many are asking today is – is it time that ...

Introduction

Contemporary healthcare systems the world over are increasingly being presented with challenging and tumultuous times such that, these outcomes are most likely to be embraced by workers in the nursing profession as the new normal.

I. Background The Explorer IV rig is one of three oil exploration facilities owned and operated by a large U.S. drilling company (Ciulla 221). The rig's structure and design is marked by notable segregation between U.S. expats and local Angolan workers as evidenced in galley size, dormitory privacy and, not least, hierarchical arrangement (by assigning expats to higher levels and local workers to lower ones) (Ciulla 221). Logistically and medically, U.S. expats and local Angolan workers receive different attention: where U.S. expats are moved by helicopter and are rushed to a British R.N. medical service, local Angolan workers spend ...

The Changing Role of Women

The 21st Century represents an era with a tremendous amount of rhetoric regarding persecution, and/ or myopic bigotry. The obvious irony is that the roughly 200 nations on Earth, roughly 905 of them have established constitutions or commitments to the rights and privileges of their citizens (Chafe & Chafe, 1991). Although established in ...

Chapter 8 & 10 Reflection

Chapter 8 and 10 contained a lot of information that was new to me. The extent to which religion shaped not just our cultural development, but that of the growing US itself was fascinating. For example, that early Protestant missions to Hawaii facilitated the annexation of Hawaii to bring it into the US. Religion even impacted the ecosystem of Alaska; Jackson introduced Siberian reindeer to ensure Aleut and Eskimo peoples would not starve in the face of a waning population of seal herds. I found it heartening that although missionaries have a bad reputation for ‘civilizing’ natives at all ...

Abstract

In this paper, the aim was to highlight the roles that the media play in the expectations around physical health by race and gender. A comparative content analysis was conducted on advertisements featured in online T.V ads. Results from this study are pointing to the notion that in order for an ad to make a solid appeal with respect to physical health to the targeted audience, two parameters are critical: race and culture. However, other scholars have a contrary opinion. They think that advertisements ought to be presented in a manner that shows gender equity and not gender segregation.

...

Racial segregation was a big problem in the U.S than it is now especially in the south. Everything from the hotels, waiting rooms, restaurants, schools and even the military were either for the whites or blacks but they never shared. The blacks were stopped from voting in the ruling that was made in the cases of Plessey v. Fergusson and William v. Mississippi (1896).The blacks were intimidated by introducing the poll tax and the formation of the Ku Klux Klan that was mandated in killing the blacks. Even the police and the legal system supported the racial discrimination. ...

In order to get closer to the one of the most acute problems in the contemporary society, let’s define the main concept. Considering racism as discrimination against individuals or social groups of people or groups of people, the policy of persecution, humiliation, shame task, violence and hatred on the basis of skin colour, ethnicity, religion or national origin, such people who are who are exposed to the influence of the racial discrimination at once turn into stigmatized ones. It can be called so as there exists a belief the that there are groups of people with special (usually ...

The literary Arab world and that of Western do not cross over much, and it is evidenced that the literature of the Arab world is not known in the west. Western people who write about the Arab people are at times referred to as fringe and cult writers. Western people then undergo costs that are related to this Arab literature. This is because literature is an important thing that acts as a bridge between two cultures with so many odds. Whatever is seen from the Arab world often come from news, reports of war and other issues of madness. ...

In Living Color

Jana King in her essay “In Living Color” talks about the difference among races, the discrimination that used to be perpetuated by the Whites against other communities, the measures taken by the US government to nullify that discrimination and finally about “affirmative action” and its effectiveness. I agree with the author and believe that “affirmative action” is counterproductive because merit of a person is ignored in favor of the color of the skin. Accepting the differences between people based on their skin color emphasizes one’s recognition of the difference and thereby his latent racist feelings. In her opinion, ...

Introduction

Sports are popularly believed to exist in a cultural, social, and political vacuum and place that is distinct from everyday realities of political and social life. As such, it is presumed that opportunities exist and are available for all groups regardless of socio-cultural backgrounds. This narrative stems from the popular belief that the issues of race are no longer present in sport as in other corporate affairs and also the increasing proportion of high-profile members of the black and minority ethnic groups in contemporary professional sports. However, this narrative represents the contrary to the actual state of racial representation in ...

Cultural appropriation is the use of another people’s culture or identity wholesomely or parts of it. It is an act that individuals or groups perpetuate from a more privileged or dominant culture (Michael, 2020). The result of such acts of cultural and identity theft disadvantaged the minority groups. The cultural appropriation of Black writers by their White counterparts has been controversial and laced with racial and prejudicial tendencies, as is common in the United States. Cultural appropriation has different spheres. Theft of identity and cultures can be done through other areas of the arts like music, dance, film, poetry, ...

Housing is one of the fundamental human needs because, in addition to providing shelter and the foundation of families, it also supports financial stability and wealth creation. Proper housing ensures quality living, a form of investment, and access to services like transport, education, health, security, financial, and employment (Thomas et al., 2018). Therefore, it is the center of economic stability. Unfortunately, there is a wide disparity in access to housing, where the whites have access to desired homes, while blacks are segregated to poorly developed settlements. The situation correlates with poverty and social inequality (Solomon et al., 2019). Therefore, it is ...

Letter from Birmingham Jail

- King points out the unjust segregation laws and justifies the need to use nonviolent demonstrations to push the administration into negotiations. He is also refuting the accusation against him in his involvement in the demonstration. His approach is effective as it arouses the emotions of not only his accusers but the general public. King diverts slightly from his point of view when he begins giving the role of the church.

- King says that it is only logical to demonstrate to force the administration into negotiations since it had refused to negotiate when approached in a civilized manner. ...

The Brown Case as it is often referred to, was significant for the jurisprudence the Supreme Court laid in interpretation of matters constitutional in relation to racial segregation which at that time was prevalent in the United States of America. A brief statement of the facts are as follows. The United States schools had until the litigation relied on Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which had held that segregation in public facilities was constitutional as long as the segregated functions enjoyed similar facilities. This had been advanced in denying blacks the right to ...

Question one

Segregation was a common vice that to place in most of the social amenities. The fact that the available public facilitates were used separately by the white and black due to the concern of superiority and inferiority that existed between the two races. Although the separate facilitate did attribute to the segregation it also had benefits on the fight against the segregation practice (Brinkley, 2007 p.34).

The separate public facilities motivate the African-American leader to fight for creation of doctrine that should allow room for separate but equal public facilities. In other words, it means that ...

The United States has always been a nation of immigrants, but not all of them have been welcomed or received the same opportunities for a better life. The difference in treatment is explained by the concept of whiteness, which has evolved since colonial days. The immigrant group that set the standards of whiteness was the Protestant, White American who could trace his ancestry to the first Anglo-Saxon settlers. During the nineteenth century immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe began to make their way to American industrial cities such as Chicago. While these immigrants fared much better than the African slaves who ...

1. Discuss the movie, Eyes on the Prize. What does segregation say about a community’s values? How does living in a segregated society shape the way people think about themselves and about members of other ethnic or racial groups?

Eyes on the Prize is a film that provides a reflection of the issues, tactics, and sacrifices of the people during the Civil War years. The movie reveals the ferocity of racism and the underlying power of popular democracy. Segregation is the ugly face of a community that promotes violence. Living in a segregated society makes people develop fear and hatred that ultimately cause ...

Question 1

The Doonesbury cartoon presented in the question contains the quintessential arguments both for and against social justice. The NAACP representative in the cartoon—really a representative of all minority groups that fight for social justice—is acting by calling in doomsday propositions based on the current events in society. This is a parody that many people in the majority have about minority cultures—that because really terrible forms of discrimination were in the past and are no longer practiced, modern society does not need to recognize that there are still forms of discrimination practiced every day.

There is generally a sense ...

Access to education, anytime, anywhere – this is what online learning promises. The start of the internet and the computer era has given birth to this new form of education. Now, students can complete a program, course, or even a degree from any location, even at the comfort of their own homes, as long as they have online access and right resources. This is why some started to adopt online learning technologies, most commonly known as learning management systems or LMS, such as TopClass and WebCT (Coates, 2007, p. 123).

Introduction

There is a growing contention among critics about the number of people of color that makes up the population in prison or parole. Pettit and Western (2004) have questioned the credibility of the justice system when it comes to incarcerating, policing, or sentencing of people of color. Current statistics reveal that blacks are handled disproportionally as opposed to the majority white community (Pettit & Western, 2004). Further, these theorists related the incarceration, policing, or sentencing pattern to racial disparities in the criminal justice system. United States has had a long history of racial disparity that led elicited activism by the blacks. Presently, ...

The Nation of Islam (NOI), founded in 1930s by Wali Fard in Detroit, is described as a synthesis of Black Nationalism, urban Christianity and classical Islam in American context. Although estimates show that its membership ranges between seven hundred thousand and one and a half a million, it is believed that the group’s influence has exceeded its actual membership.

The NOI continued the spirit of the Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association which aimed at building a sense of empowerment and self esteem among African-Americans. When Garvey died in Europe, a vacuum in leadership emerged in the Black Nationalist movement. Fard ...

He is a phenomenon man who has made life changing contributions to America by voicing his, social, political, and racial views about the injustices committed to the people with color.

SEGREGATION AT WORKPLACES IS NOT RIGHT: GET THE FACTS RIGHT

Thinking about it now, I realize just how important it is to work. Every element of human existence point to work. The Bible, the Koran, and other religious doctrines relate humanity to work. However, one controversial element of all these provisions dwells upon the need to have particular work groups clowned in segregation. In the contemporary society, divisions often exist at workplaces where the women and the men are given specific tasks often stressing their energy outputs and presumed superiority indexes. The women in many workplaces today have certain barriers that hinder them from working in a broad-spectrum schedule like ...

Plessey versus Ferguson was an important case in Louisiana in 1896 where the Supreme Court ruled that races should be separated on railroads in facilities that were ‘separate but equal’. This was just the sort of decision that the Southern states needed to implement a programme of institutionalized segregation which came with the blessing of the Supreme Court.

The case occurred on 7th June 1892 when Homer Plessey, a black man boarded the Louisiana State Railroad coach and was asked to sit at the back on account of his skin colour. After refusing to do so, he was arrested ...

Introduction

An I.T security program, just like any other program in an organization, begins with objectives and strategies. The organization establishes security aims (objectives); how secure the I.T systems should be? Who should have access to the system? These objectives are then translated into possible courses of actions (strategies) that ensure the fulfillment of these objectives; How to achieve that level of security? The strategies are then written down as policies that govern the allocation of resources towards implementing security and the routine processes involved to that effect. This paper attempts to focus on the level of expertise, skills and ...

It is true that works of the African American Psychologist, Dr. Kenneth Clark was heavily relied on by the United States Supreme Court in Brown V. Board of Education (1954) and substantially had an influence in its decision. It should be appreciated that prior to the Supreme Court reaching the decision to outlaw the racial segregation in the Education sector, the Supreme Court in its decision in Plessy v. Ferguson upheld the constitutionality of state laws that required segregation in public facilities.

Based on the foregoing, it is obvious that the Supreme Court had to be moved for it ...

Identity in the play the short story One Friday Morning

Identity refers to the state of maintaining one’s character under different conditions. Identity therefore relates to social situations such as gender, color, class, and community. In African American literature, identity can be experienced in social circumstances that are largely discriminatory. Discriminatory aspects that affect the blacks largely relate to oppression. This aspect molds the manner in which African Americans are confronted with dilemmas regarding their place within the white-dominated society. Ideally, the reality of the blacks cannot be separated in the American society because color provides an inherent phenomenon of identity that manifest in different races.

The aspect ...

The narrator in Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily is unnamed and represents the collective voice of the town. Critics have not established conclusively whether the narrator is male or female. The narrator may be someone who knows Emily intimately, perhaps even her secret, such as Tobe, her servant. This is because of a number of factors. For example, the narrator calls Emily by the name “Miss Emily,” a title which may imply servant-hood. Although the narrator conceals themselves behind the joint pronoun “we,” he/she may have had personal perspectives and opinions that he/she spreads to the ...

We refer to the Cold War as the period between the end of World War II and the fall of the USSR in 1990. That is when two powerful countries emerged, one being the United States of America and the other being the communist USSR. So, when the end of militarization was expected, the American government presented the people with a new threat, claiming for many decades that another war was imminent. The USSR was presented as a new Hitler with expansionistic tendencies. This helped to justify American intervention abroad, like for example in Greece right after World War II and ...

1) Proto-Oncogenes and Tumor Suppressor Genes are two types of genes that ordinarily keep the cell cycle functioning as it should. Explain the roles of these two types of genes, and explain what can occur when these types of gene are not working properly. Provide at least two different examples of cancers associated with mutations of these types of genes.

The purpose of the proto-oncogenes under normal circumstances is to make sure that cells proliferate, in other words the oncogenes stimulate cell production. But when a normal, healthy ocogene cell becomes mutated or expresses at higher than normal levels it causes cancer. The first oncogenic virus was discovered in 1916 and called the Rous virus after the person who discovered it, Peyton Rous. Rous viruses represent a family of viruses called the retro viruses. Retro viruses contain a genetic material called ribonucleic acid (RNA).

There is always the possibility that RNA will be transcribed into DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) by an enzyme of ...

Most of the American colonies have people from different cultural backgrounds since the earliest historical eras. This multiculturalism was one of the main causes of conflicts and tensions in the American societies and still persisted disguised as racial discrimination which up to the late 20th century was allowed by some laws like the law of segregation. These conflicts and tensions thrived due to the fact that different people held different perspectives towards the same action or event. As a result, the conflict in ideas led to great tensions and at times turned bloody making a lot of people to lose their ...

Is Firing Bad Teachers the Real Solution to the De Facto Segregation in the U.S. Education System?

In “Why We Must Fire Bad Teachers”, Evan Thomas and Pat Wingert have once again identified a very old problem in the U.S. education system, that there is a huge distinction in education quality and outcomes based on class and race in this country. There always has been, and in reality it is still a system that is very highly segregated by race and social class. All the concerns about low graduation rates and falling test scores over the last thirty years are actually a ...
