Jamaica and the Music - mon!
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp.) According to an internet site labeled
"fantasy tours," Jamaica is "eternal summer." So it
only makes sense that it would have "hot music."
But we also learn, "the island"
"has rugged mountain ranges, with Blue Mountain
Peak, the highest point, soaring 7,402 feet. It has
miles of white beaches, bordered by the blue
Caribbean. It has 120 rivers flowing from the
mountains to the coast. And it has great central
plains, fertile agricultural lands, towering
cliffs, magnificent waterfalls, and dense tropical
forests." What that tells us is our "hot music,"
still has a lot of varied cultural influences.

John Rawls, Justice & Affirmative Action
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper that explores issues of economic distributive justice. Throughout its history, human societies have addressed issues of justice. While it is agreed that societies should be just, precisely what this means has been a matter of much debate. A particularly contentious sub-category of this argument has been in regards as to what constitutes economic justice, that is, "the proper distribution of social benefits and burdens" (Shaw and Barry, 2004, p. 105). In this regard, a variety of rival principles have been proposed. Examination of these various theories shows that the "Theory of Justice" outlined by John Rawls offers a comprehensive and fair framework for distributive economic justice. This is particularly evident when examined in light of affirmative action and equal employment opportunities. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Singleton’s third movie, that offers a look into the lives and

Kunjufu/Helping Black Boys

A 6 page critique of Jawanza Kunjufu's Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys, Volume III (1990).

It is the black boy who is typically cast as deviant in the public school system and Kunjufu refers to studies that identify many of these traits as simply being unique to the black male experience and development. This critique of Kunjufu's text looks at both its strengths and weaknesses and compares it to other literature dealing with this topic. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
