Event: Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend

Introduction Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend is a five-day event in Palm Springs City, at the tip of the Coachella Valley within the Colorado Desert, California. It is held at the end of the March every year. This year I was part of the 20,000 people who flew to California for the debauchery, and this paper will summarize my observations and analysis of the lesbian community. First, lesbianism, as observed in Dinah, is not about hatred for men, or anti-men or feminism, but rather, a celebration of identity. While the girls were predominantly happy, most of them agreed ...

Civil Rights History in the United States

The Civil Rights movement came to the fore almost after almost 100 years after the abolishment of slavery, but the predominant white populace, especially in the Southern States, found ways to get around the legal laws and statutes.

Introduction

Since its establishment, Disney was known to promote racism through racial messages embedded within their films for several years. Though many people assert that Disney followed the signs of the time, it was against the moral law to be insensitive to other cultures while promoting the interest of another race which was perceived as superior. Dumbo, for example, was a film laced with racists messages. Disney has embraced the word, Crow, to stereotype African Americans as cigar smokers, lazy as well as associated with criminal activities.

During the American Revolution in the 1770s, African Americans soldiers participated in valor. Some were fighting for the Britain colonialists while others were fighting for American patriots in their struggle for independence. The slaves fought alongside their masters so that they could get human rights and freedoms enjoyed by other Americans. During this time, slavery was at peak, and most African Americans were under servitude and gross abuse of their rights (Matthews 369). Slaves imported from Africa and other parts of the world were sold to slave masters especially in the North. When the revolutionary war ended, most soldiers ...

The civil rights movement was a succession of political protests in the United States that sought to bring racial equality before the law. In many instances, the protesters used nonviolent acts in enhancing the emancipation of women and the rights of minorities. Despite the fact that many women played a significant role in leading the local civil rights groups and volunteering as lawyers on school segregation suits, their efforts were overshadowed by men who got more attention and credit for the popular historical process in the US. Many women suffered from sexual discrimination and gender-based discrimination within the movement ...

The Confederate Flag has long been a symbol of the American South. Many claim that the flag represents a racist culture, one that fought to keep blacks in slavery, and one that continues to try to limit equal rights for African-Americans. Others believe that the Confederate Flag is just a symbol of Southern history and pride. Recent events in the country have brought this controversy to the forefront of American consciousness once again. The racial connotations of the Confederate flag originate from its beginning. It was first developed as the battle flag for Robert E. Lee, who commanded the ...

The great migration saw mass exodus of a whopping 7 million blacks from southern states in the US to the Midwest, Western and Northern states in America. This occurred between the periods of 1916 to 1970 (Arnesen 1). There was widespread practice of racism in the south with Whites enjoying the benefits of white collar jobs, goods schools for their children, conducive living environment, and political dominance. This pushed away the blacks who moved to the Northern, Midwest and Western states to seek employment into the industrial cities like Philadelphia, St. Louis, Baltimore and Chicago and other small cities. ...

Abstract

A number of states in the US have adopted the Conceal and carry weapon policy in their legislations and have allowed the carrying of concealed weapons in the public.

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech by restricting legislations that curtail this freedom. U.S. Supreme Court decisions reinforce respect for the freedom of speech against legislations by the federal and state governments. However, some forms of communication are exempt from First Amendment guarantees. Obscenity is one such exemption. In Roth v. the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court cited a series of cases dating back to 1877 to demonstrate the Court’s consistent regard of obscenity as an expression that is not protected by the First Amendment right to free speech. Since obscenity does not form part of ...

Since opening its first store in Bentonville, Arkansas in 1962, Wal-Mart has steadily spread from its base in the South and Midwest to dominate the suburban and rural retail market across the U.S. Wal-Mart is addressing the first obstacle – store ...

Motif of the Quest of Adventures of Huckleberry

A motif represents the dominant idea in any artistic material. The novel Adventures of Huckleberry brings out the motif of slavery. This is demonstrated by the novel’s setting at a time when slavery was legal before, just the Civil War. The motif is also shown through varied characters as most of the novel characters are either white slaveholders like the Phelps family, Miss Watson and the Granger ford family or are characters who indirectly profit from slavery, like the king and duke who turn in Jim - the runaway slave- to Phelpses for a reward of money. Meanwhile, ...

Slavery, which the South frequently referred to as its “peculiar institution,” had an enormous impact on American history. Even after 1863 and the abolition of slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation, as well as the 1865 passage of the 13th amendment to the Constitution, slavery continued to have lasting effects on the American people for decades to come. The beginnings of African slavery go all the way back to the first British settlements in North America. However, it was the division of former British colonies into slave states in the South and free states in the North that laid the ...

It was one hundred years before the arrival of Columbus when the Great Temple of Mound was started in the southern part of U.S. It is believed that the people that settled at Chucalissa were people from Mississippi. The settlement is believed to have been established in 900 A.D. Following that suspicion, the region of the Mississippi has been under the archeological excavation for a very long time. The Native Americans are believed to have arrived along the Mississippi River in the 10,000-12000 years ago. The first group to arrive in Chucalissa hunted ice age animals for food. ...

Alignment of the single-sex admission policy of Virginia Military Institution (VMI) aligns with the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was the issue raised in United States v. Virginia. VMI has been an all-male institution since its inception in 1839. In deciding that the single-sex admission policy of VMI violated the equal protection clause, the majority opinion relied on ‘intermediate scrutiny’ test applied in the prior case of Mississippi University for Women v. Hogan. In the Hogan case, the Court employed the ‘intermediate scrutiny’ test, but applied this in terms of the ‘exceedingly persuasive justification’ standard. The standard ...

Rock and roll is one of the most important genres in the history of modern music. The signature guitar styles, drum rhythms, and powerful electric sound allowed this genre to singlehandedly change the way that music was created, presented, and performed. Rock and roll techniques and styles are present in almost every single genre on the radio today, and the traditional rhythms helped to form the basis for other styles of music. Bo Diddley was a rock and blues legend who was so intriguing that he spent over 60 years on the road playing his songs. Born in Mississippi, ...

Critical Thinking

The 1803 purchase of Louisiana from France had a profound effect on America; it not only changed the geography of the country but also its social, political and economic pillars. The purchase, which occurred during the term of President Thomas Jefferson, had the effect of almost doubling the landmass of America (Fleming, 46). It would be interesting to evaluate America's continental and global position had the purchase not taken place. This is especially the case given that the country would have had access to the Gulf of Mexico hence denying farmers on the frontier an opportunity to engage in ...

Abstract

Hurricane Katrina touched ground in Louisiana in August 2005. The resulting lack of coordination in a catastrophe of this size by federal agencies led to large numbers of evaluations, reports, and recommendations for improvement. Particularly under fire was the FEMA organization tasked with management of the disaster operations. The inability to coordinate local, state, and federal resources lead to billions of dollars in waste and additional loss of life secondary to lack of food, water, and shelter. Government policies and restrictions in addition to complicated definitions of responsibility delayed relief for the stricken areas by as much as a ...

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 ...

Women’s Reproductive rights in the US.

Reproductive rights include the right to make free and informed decisions about human body and sexuality. Women’s Reproductive rights are not only limited to abortion rights. These rights include the right to express sexuality, individual sexuality and reproductive decisions, and freedom of reproductive health information, education and services. By this means, women should have full freedom to gain knowledge about her sexual health. Being a human, women should not be required to ...

Constitutions define principles guarding a society or suggest a political goal that a society envisions to achieve. Constitutions are more than a platform where structure; authority and responsibility of government institutions are defined (Krasner 87). They also portray essential political, economic and power relations by the culture, values and interest of the group that created it. Also, the events of the period in which the document was written contributed enormously to its content. Definition of the relationship between those in government and the citizens is also available in the Constitution and the limit of their practices clearly defined. This ...

We have been assigned the task to critique a retail plan for a store on several dimensions of strategic decision. The retail store chosen for this purpose is named as Corner Market. It is a grocery chain located in Mississippi precisely, Hattiesburg, MA. The retail store is more like a specialty store which offers quality items and saves trips to Walmart and other big stores. Although the products available at Corner Market are a bit towards the expensive scale but it is still worth the repeated visits. A critique of the retail plan of Corner Market is discussed based ...

Many questions are yet to be answered regarding civil rights casualties. Many black people in America were killed, and their murders were not solved. In the 1950s and 60s, quite a significant number of black people that involved themselves with the Civil Rights Movement were killed, and their stories made headlines across the nation. Many family members of the victims killed during the civil rights movement are still waiting for justice and proper measures to be taken on those who participated in the murder of their loved ones. The murder of three civil rights workers by Ku Klux Klansmen ...

When asked to view the documentary Slavery by Another Name, I was expecting to see something about prisoners being used in forced labor by some other country. I was clearly not expecting it to be about the treatment of African Americans in the United States after the Emancipation Proclamation. Based on my understanding of American history, I believed that after the Civil War, African Americans had some struggles, but they were free. I understood that there was still discrimination, especially in the American South, but the former slaves at least had the opportunity to make a living on their ...

Question 1

Cultural leveling describes how people from different cultures approach each other and try to reach common grounds regarding communication and interaction. This process is evident in Lee’s ethnographic fieldwork. Coming from white society, the researcher exhibited arrogance and considered himself superior, both intellectually and culturally, to the !Kung bushmen. He did this by extending to or cutting off the supply of tobacco from the Bushmen since he was the only source of the commodity in 1000 square miles (Lee). Besides, he neither shared his food with the Bushmen nor participated in their food-gathering activities. For this reason, the ...

ABSTRACT

Hurricane Katrina proved to be one the largest natural disasters to occur in the United States. This storm devastated parts of the south, particularly Louisiana. High winds, rains and the breaking of levees left mass flooding and the drowning of entire neighborhoods. The emergency response from the government proved to be highly disorganized, inefficient and lacked the needed supplies to meet the needs of those requiring medical attention, food, water and shelter. In fact, some argue that the disaster lasted longer because of organizations like FEMA whose efforts many call a great failure. Since then many suggestions have been ...
