What do you think you will most remember from this Unit.? One of the major things that will be remembered in this unit it the religious background of the book of Song of Songs. For a very long time, this is a book that has left many confused. I will be keen enough to identify keywords used in the description of this book.  It will also be useful to familiarize myself with contemporary courtly of love literature presented by Harwich. This lesson will make it necessary to read the Song of Songs to understand Richard and Bernard. I want to get a deeper knowledge of love traditions that will bring a clear understanding of Hadewijch.  One of the major things I would want to look for is how the love tradition Hadewijch presents affects our own understanding and mystical expression in modern society. One of the key questions that we will answer is whether her love ideology is different from our modern understating of love. I would also want to know how the poems are composed by Hadewijch compare…

Traditional budgeting Traditional budgeting is regarded as a process of projecting a company’s business expenses and revenue for the upcoming year based on the previous year’s budget (McLaney and Atrill, 2016, p. 504). Although this can be the best method for justifying business projection, it might not suit today’s corporate world because of the dynamic nature of business operations. That is why Wallander’s quote about traditional budgeting: ‘….an outdated way of controlling and steering a company.  It is a cumbersome way of reaching conclusions which are either commonplace or wrong,’ makes a lot of sense. This is in the sense that most often, traditional budgeting takes a lot of time, is expensive, and consumes too many corporate resources. Reports indicate that some firms may take up to six to eight months to come up with a budget. Meanwhile, due to the detailed nature of most of the budgets, a lot of input and back and forth negotiations of many people all over the company are required. And this adds to the number of company resources consumed (Asogwa and Etim, 2017,…

  Racism in the Criminal Justice System             Punishment and crime in the 21st century have given some of the most racial divide powerful symbols in America. In the past decades, penal practices of chain-gang style, lynching, and judicial and prosecutorial bigotry were common, specifically in the southern criminal justice systems. Richard Wright, in his novel, Native son, explains the social and historical background for the creation of Bigger Thomas. Bigger is sentenced and mostly concerned about his survival in prison- how to contextualize his actions, in front of progressively powerful pressure, frequently racist, put upon him by authority figures. In the same manner, other sources reveal that there has been social and historical creation of racial disparity in America. Barr is the Attorney General who testified before the House judiciary committee concerning the death of George Floyd. Jennifer Rae Taylor, the attorney, a law doctor from Yale University article, demonstrates the African Americans’ struggles in finding justice in the courtroom. The other journal article is written by three sociologists Fernandez, Crutchfield, and Martinez. In this essay, I will analyze…

Drug abuse Drug abuse or substance abuse is a serious problem that young people, children, and even adults face in the modern world.  Drug abuse refers to the use of specific chemicals to create a pleasurable brain. Research shows that there are more than 190 million users worldwide, and this problem has been noted to increase at a very high rate. The increase is high, especially among young adults who are under 30. Besides the long-term damage that comes with the body, drug abuse causes drug addicts who use needles to inject drugs into their system are at a very high risk of contracting HIV/Aids. The mercy foundation, a nonprofit organization, dedicated itself to educating people about the effects of drug abuse.  The foundation created images demonstrating how harmful and dangerous the continuous use of drugs can be to the youths (Grecu & Dhaval, pgm184).  One way they achieved this is by showing one youth who is addicted to drugs sniffing cocaine. They later showed them how this drug affects the body of these people. This foundation’s two visual elements…

Race and Gender Essay The choice I made is a podcast by the New York times gathering items to use in commemorating four hundred years since the first slaves set foot on Virginia’s shores. Slaves who were twenty in number were heckled over like pieces of meat. Reduced from humanity to pieces of a trade. These slaves were Africans and had a different skin tone from the English colonialists and the American continent’s general common population. The black slaves were economic tools themselves, and, in their slavery, they generated more economic prowess for American society and wellbeing. The slaves built the economies by putting in back-breaking work, blood, and sweat. These same black people cannot do the basic things any white person can easily lay their hands on. The whites are privileged to access these things inaccessible to blacks by simply being white. The text I chose to help navigate my argument is White fragility-why it’s so hard for white people to talk about racism by Robin Diangelo. After independence, a white woman could vote since 1920, while a black…

food insecurity The inability to acquire adequate food due to insufficient resources is food insecurity. In 2016, an estimated 15.6 million households were food insecure in the United States. Food insecurity contributes to food deserts. Food deserts are geographic areas where residents lack appropriate access to grocery stores or supermarkets. According to Cooksey, Schwartz, and Brownell (2017), reveals that people who are food insecure are at an increased risk of obesity. The trio also shows the obesity level in food desert areas is high. The finding of Cooksey, Schwartz, and Brownell suggests that Americans who lack sufficient food to eat or have low accessibility to stores selling affordable, nutritious foods are at significant risk for obesity. Causes and effects of food desert increase the rate of obesity in the United States. Food deserts are socioeconomic; thus, they arise in communities of color combined with low income. Less disposable income combined with insufficient transportation leads to processed and fast foods available at the corner store. This increases the rate of obesity in the community. Low-income populations facing discrimination are almost the…

Two-year colleges, also known as community colleges or junior colleges, are tertiary institutions that play a crucial role in providing higher education among students. There are numerous community colleges in the United States, and they train students on skills necessary to join their first entry level job. Two-year colleges often serve their surrounding communities and sometimes act as bridges, transitioning students from high school to four-year colleges or universities. Two-year colleges have a rich history in the U.S and date back to 1850. During that period, very few public universities offered comprehensive higher education to the public. However, some of them offered students two years of college education, for instance, the Lasell Junior College in Auburndale, Massachusetts. The education offered in two-year colleges then ranged from offering teachings that emphasized the middle class’s values at the time and on developing a model citizen. Therefore, the system was ideal for producing school teachers who would require such knowledge to train their students. Ever since then, junior colleges have continued to expand and change over the years. Nowadays, community colleges play a…

The Cuban Missile Abstract Missile refers to a guided airborne ranged weapon capable of self-propelled flight, usually by a jet engine or rocket motor. Bipolarity system is achieved where two states or unions are claiming of superpower. In other words, there exists no dominancy in the political realm of life.

Even though it feels differently based on the professional point of view as it seems that we might have several crises in the near future (Blight, 1992:7). This event is deemed a litmus test to gauge whether international stability could be achieved in-terms of politics. There two aspects of the crisis as depicted from the…
