In the editorial, “Why Establish This Paper?”, Mary Ann Shadd Cary, an abolitionist and African American writer, asserts that her newspaper, Provincial Freeman, will give fugitive slaves representation within the new country. Cary validates this claim by establishing a need for a voice, emphasizing a lack of freedom, and confirming a lack of a current voice. Cary empowers and unites fugitive slaves in order to give them a voice. Cary writes to the fugitive slaves of Canada with a didactic yet inspiring tone to establish the necessity of her newspaper, which would give the slaves a new freedom they deserve.

Cathy N. Davidson suggests an innovative education system, providing an emphasis in today’s digital era, and claiming that the existing education system needs to be renewed according to the new expectations of the digital era. Davidson states that,” In the last half century, many changes have occurred in the technology field, however, classrooms and educational methods have remained fairly steady for the past years as well in consequence students are not being prepared for the future advances of society.” That being said, it is important to improve and to give a change to the current educational methods, adjusting them to the existing demands of the era that we are living and taking advantage of the resources that it provides. “What if we continued to the lesson of internet itself,

From one of the final readings; “A Social Worker’s Reflections on Power, Privilege, and Oppression” by Michael Spencer, I will carry the lesson that; the work I have begun is only the beginning. Dr. Spencer is a tenure track faculty member and seasoned researched at the University of Michigan. In this guest editorial for the National Association of Social Workers he quotes Paulo Freire; “that to create social change and to promote social justice, we must begin (the) process with ourselves-through a self-reflective process that examines the contradictions between our espoused values and our lived experience” (Freire, 1970). Neither Spencer nor Freire suggests that this process should end or reach any form of conclusion. In closing Spencer suggests; “that the pursuit of critical consciousness is a lifelong process” (Spencer, 2008). Critical consciousness is the ability to perceive

Heather Whitestone was born February 24, 1973 in Dothan, Alabama. She was the youngest daughter of Daphne and Bill Whitestone. Heather has two sisters, Melissa and Stacey. She was able to hear and speak until she became sick at eighteen months. Her family were unaware of her deafness. They found out that Heather was deaf during Christmas of 1974. Her mother happened to drop several pots and pans in the kitchen that scared the family members who heard the loud crash. But, Heather who was playing by the Christmas tree did not react at all to the loud commotion. Her mother took a spoon and a pot and banged them directly behind Heather’s back who still did not show any reaction to the noise.

Belonging to a certain group is a natural experience in the lives of individuals. Groups are categorizable by a variety of options but often expel a trait that epitomizes each individual within the group such as rank, societal merit, or simply just appearance. Behaviorism gratifies purpose within cohort mentality among those in an association due to the psychological commonalities that bring these groups together. When it comes to an individual's development within a certain group, joint mentality helps create a safe environment but often times supports ideologies of self empowerment. Anthropologist Karen Ho composes the analysis of students whom graduate Ivy League universities and enter into financial professions, in her essay “Biographies

On the afternoon of January 13, 2010, at the age of 34, Jarmecca Yvonne "Nikki" Whitehead was found brutally murdered in the bathroom of her boyfriend’s home in Conyers, Georgia by her identical twin daughters Jasmiyah Kaneesha Whitehead and Tasmiyah Janeesha Whitehead.

Heather Whitestone McCallum was born on February 24, 1973 in Dothan, Alabama (“Heather Whitestone”). When Heather turned 18 months old, she captured a high fever from the virus, Haemophilus Influenzae, which resulted in hospitalization. Whitestone was close to death, when the doctors prescribed her two extremely powerful antibiotics. She returned home as a normal toddler until her mother had an accident in the kitchen and realized something was wrong. Whitestone’s mother had dropped several pans while cooking, and Heather did not jump or move when the pans hit the floor. Heather was taken to a children’s hospital, where the doctors concluded that she had lost her hearing from Haemophilus Influenzae, the powerful antibiotics, or a combination of both (“Heather Whitestone | Bio | Premiere Motivational Speakers Bureau.”). At a young age, Whitestone’s parents trained her to read lips and speak using an educational arrangement titled, “Acoupedics.” Because she learned how to speak and read lips, she did not receive an interpreter during her years in public school (“Heather Whitestone”).

On January 31, 2001 Logan Marr was found dead in an unfinished basement, yards of duct tape surrounding her, and a foster mother claiming that she just fell and hit her head. Sally Schofield, a respected caseworker at Maine's Department of Health and Human Services, had taken Logan in 2000. By 2001, 5 year old Logan would be dead. “I just want Sally Schofield out of my life forever,” Logan’s mother says, 16 years later, “She’s ruined my children’s lives and mine. She took an innocent child from this world for no reason.” Logan’s death was a tragedy that highlighted the problems in Maine's child welfare systems. The mistakes that were made were unforgivable, but a lesson learned from DHHS.

This book is written by Peter Newman, while Timothy Beatley, and heather Boyer were the coauthors. Together they examined the idea of a resilient city in 2009. The book defined resilient as lasting, making it through a crisis, something that requires inner strength and resolve, and having strong physical infrastructure and built environment. The book later states that the main roadblock in the way of resilience is fear, and throughout the book they give many examples where fear lead to a cities downfall. They also suggest that because of our resources depleting rapidly we should really be acting now in order to make a change in order to save what is left of them.

Take, for example, the research conducted by Shannon Speed in Chiapas and Monique Skidmore in Burma (Sanford, V. 2006). Both women were in complicated situations where they were privy to the plight of their suffering research subjects, yet inhibited by the watchful eye of a dominating power that would not allow them to completely overstep their bounds. Both researchers are women, mothers and were foreigners in their research community, but would not allow that to deter them from supporting human rights work and attempting to better the lives or at least create awareness of the suffering of the sociocultural group they studied (Sanford, V. 2006). Anthropological activism can aid in bringing about integral political, economic and social change. Attempting to be objective in essence equates to supporting the status quo (Sanford, V. 2006) and as human beings with an interest in humanity, we cannot sit by idly as inequality grows and horrendous occurrences

relationships within society, and thus, the purpose of knowledge construction is to aid people to improve society (Mertens, 2003). Moreover, Creswell (2014) concedes there is not a standardized body of research differentiating this worldview, but it includes a diverse group of researchers who are critical theorists; participatory action researchers; Marxists; feminists; racial and ethnic minorities; persons with disabilities; indigenous and postcolonial peoples; and members of the LBGTQ communities. This study’s philosophical worldview is guided by transformative research. The transformative paradigm embraces the belief that research analysis should have a connection to politics, yet possess an agenda for political change, which at its core
