In the Narrative of Fredrick Douglass, Fredrick Douglass gives an integral account of what life was like for enslaved people during the 19th century and likewise makes it a paramount issue. He was born a slave, however, he had the mental capacity to see himself free. Douglass’s narrative explores a plethora of themes which proved vitally relevant to his freedom. The themes of self-determination, self-worth and enslavement resounds clearly throughout the narrative and is told with only the genius that Fredrick Douglass can tell it. Similarly, Douglass ultimately uses these themes as liberating factors in his life. Most importantly, Fredrick Douglass was able to bridge many gaps because of his inside perspective on the institution of slavery.
Additionally, by asking the listeners if they want freedom, a choice must be made by the listener, illustrating how individuals must have freedom of choice in order to begin to be free.Through the combination of repetition and pathos, J Cole is able to appeal to the audience’s desire for freedom, showing how freedom is precious and valued by people as a
“The white children could tell their ages. I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege” (1). At a young age, Frederick Douglass, a slave, often wonders about the world outside his plantations. Douglass’s ability to see slavery from a different angle, gained through his experiences, also allows him to also see past his bondage. Throughout The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (2002, Glencoe/McGraw Hill), Douglass conveys the horrors associated with captivity, reflecting on how it dehumanizes both slave and owner.
He lived a very quite and ordinary life after he was freed and never made any trouble but considered himself a trader. On his grandfather’s deathbed he gives him advice as he states “Son, after I’m gone I want you to keep up the good fight” (Ellison 226). By that he means to believe in equality and not to be a traitor to his own people but to stand up for them. Not understanding the meaning behind his grandfather’s words, he thinks of them has words that are cruel and unusual. Filled with so many unanswered questions because of his grandfather’s words that haunt him day by day. His grandfather words are trying to have him understand that society would always go against him and his race and in order to make a change one must not give up.
One of the most prevalent misconceptions, Benson and Rasmussen, contend is the notion that a large percentage of drug users commit nondrug crimes, what might be called the “drugs-cause-crime” assumption implicit in the government’s drug-war strategy. If true, then an effective crackdown on ...
Nelson Mandela once said “For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”1 This quote describes the story “The Strangers That Came to Town” very well. Mr. Duvitch cast off his “chains” by immigrating to America seeking freedom and better opportunities. Dr. Switzer also showed freedom by living in a way that accepted the Duvitch family. Andy’s father accepted the Duvitch family, which in turn let them feel free. In his short story, “The Strangers That Came to Town” Ambrose Flack is showing that true freedom is about being accepted.
The use of these three techniques sends a very clear message to people that overpopulation is affecting the earth and our world in a very bad way, not just that, but the second cartoonist succeeded to show people that overpopulation is leading into many other serious problems, which warn the people of the dangers of that problem and stimulate them to start looking for solution and answers to such a problem. Finally both cartoons has successfully portrayed the problem using these three techniques. However the second cartoon appeared to be more successfully in delivering the message to people due to the smarter use of irony and symbolism.
Drug abuse dates as far back as the Biblical era, so it is not a new phenomenon. “The emotional and social damage and the devastation linked to drugs and their use is immeasurable.” The ripple of subversive and detrimental consequences from alcoholism, drug addictions, and addictive behavior is appalling. Among the long list of effects is lost productivity, anxiety, depression, increased crime rate, probable incarceration, frequent illness, and premature death. The limitless consequences include the destruction to personal development, relationships, and families (Henderson 1-2). “Understandably, Americans consider drug abuse to be one of the most serious problems” in the fabric of society. And although “addiction is the result of voluntary drug use, addiction is no longer voluntary behavior, it’s uncontrollable behavior,” says Alan Leshner, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (Torr 12-13).
“Strategic management analyses the major initiatives taken by a company’s top management on behalf of owners, involving resources and performance in internal and external environments”. There are many well known strategists for strategic management.
Strategic management is concerned with a set of decisions and actions intended to improve the long-run performance of an organization (Boddy, 2009). It draws from the company’s will to adapt and survive in varying external and internal environments. Strategic management incorporates rationalization, planning ahead, setting clear goals, designing logical structures and monitoring systems for efficiency. It helps to determine a model of investment of resources, time, effort and capital. Thus it is a plan to reduce uncertainty about the future and to choose viable and potential solutions for growth.
The word ‘strategy’, deriving from the Greek noun strategus, meaning ‘commander in chief’, was first used in the English language in 1656. The development and usage of the word suggests that it is composed of stratos (army) and agein (to lead). In a management context, the word ‘strategy’ has now replaced the more traditional term – ‘long-term planning’ – to denote a specific pattern of decisions and actions undertaken by the upper echelon of the organization in order to accomplish performance goals. Wheelen and Hunger (1995, p. 3) define strategic management as ‘that set of managerial decisions and actions that determines the long-run performance of a corporation’. Hill and Jones (2001, p. 4) take a similar view when they define strategy as ‘an action a company takes to attain superior performance’. Strategic management is considered to be a continuous activity that requires a constant adjustment of three major interdependent poles: the values of senior management, the environment, and the resources available.
According to Lamb (1984), “Strategic management is an ongoing process that assesses the business and the industries in which the company is involved; assesses its competitors and sets goals and strategies to meet all existing and potential competitors; and then reassesses each strategy annually or quarterly [i.e. regularly] to determine how it has been implemented and whether it has succeeded or needs replacement by a new strategy to meet changed circumstances, new technology, new competitors, a new economic environment., or a new social, financial, or political environment.” [1]
Strategic management seeks to coordinate and integrate the activities of the various functional areas of a business in order to achieve long-term organizational objectives. A balanced scorecard is often used to evaluate the overall performance of the business and its progress towards objectives. Strategic management hinges upon answering three key questions:
Illicit drug use is one of the major public health issues in the United States. This research investigation will study if the presence of preservatives in urine samples will affect the accuracy of a urine drug test, specifically as it relates to workplace drug testing. Typically, when a person is asked by an employer to provide a urine sample, no direct supervision is involved during the collection process. Therefore, employment candidates may attempt to cheat the drug test by adulterating the urine specimen. As a result, it is important for laboratories be able to identify any such adulterated specimen, taking into account the presence of preservatives due to extended shipping times. In this research investigation, common preservatives
Drug abuse has been a hot topic for our society due to how stimulants interfere with health, prosperity, and the lives of others in all nations.
