Chapter 11 Summary And Analysis Of Chapter 11

In this book, Jeffrey Ogbar talks about the beginning of rap, where it started, some of the artists of this genre and some of the controversial topics the artists rap about. He also talks about the usage of the N word as well as men calling women the B word. In the first chapter of the book, Ogbar contextualizes the debate by talking about the history of the minstrel figure in American popular culture, relying mainly on the work of W. T. Lhamon and Patricia Hill Collins. He talks about how the earliest manifestations of hip-hop music in the 1970s came from the Black Power movement and often included direct rejections of minstrel tropes for example in the artist KRS-One’s song “My Philosophy”. Before going on a chronological study of the internal debates that many rappers have over their relationships with the minstrel trope, Ogbar finds the source of the debate in early twentieth-century black writers’, mainly W.E.B Du Bois, interest in elevating many portrayals of African Americans in the arts, versus Harlem Renaissance writers’ rejection of the emphasis on

In “They Say I Say”, chapter 11 may perhaps be the most important chapter in the entire book. Chapter 11 emphases on how important it is to revise and edit your writing. Some students may say that reading over you essay and getting somebody to edit it is pointless but I think that it’s a vital step. It’s simple. Revision and editing could turn your awful essay into a superior essay. When I read over my work I always consider changing it to improve it, should I add more complex sentences? “What [do I] need to do to make it better” (Graff 139). In addition, I would constantly find grammar and punctuation errors that weakened my essay. After I guaranteed that there were no more grammar mistakes my student editor would find one.

When I first looked into finding this book I didn’t think much of it as I just thought it was just another type of text book or some sort. I was thinking that this would be some kind of auto biography or something I would not be interested in. In fact after reading this book I was stunned by the different views and aspects of economics that was explain and I would had never thought about them in that sort of way. This book covers a lot about we discussed in class. This book explains different examples of economic concepts that may be used in our daily lives. They

People make economic decisions on a daily basis, from choosing to go to the grocery store and cook dinner or going out to eat. While in the general scheme of things this is a relatively small decision to make it still can have impact on the economy. Yet a decision for a family to have a child is more of a major decision and has far more of an impact on the economy then a dinner decision. There are four basic principles to economic decision making and in the following I will list and explain these. I will also provide and an example of a decision that I have made in my personal experiences and what impact that has had or could have had

Kahneman’s article is an analysis of intuitive thinking and how it guides our decision-making. Although primarily aimed at the field of psychology, it is an interdisciplinary article with applications in economic theorising. Kahneman attempts to differentiate between two systems of thought, one of intuition (system 1) and one of reasoning (system 2), and argues that many judgements and choices are made intuitively, rather than with reason (a slower and more deliberate process). Intuitive decision making, which encompasses heuristics, although generally more efficient and rapid, makes the agent potentially subject to errors due to framing effects or violations of dominance. The analysis of the studies and theoretical situations also provides criticism of the commonly held model of the rational agent within economics. The article also further conceptualises Kahneman’s theory, the Prospect Theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979), which has descriptive applications of people’s choice in decision-making situations involving risk and known probability of outcomes. These situations are typically unexplained by the more normative rational agent model.

In 1619, Virginia was an isolated British settlement on the Chesapeake Bay. It was sparsely populated by men trying to make the colony profitable for England. But the colonists were devastated by hunger, disease, and raids by Native Americans. So when the White Lion, a badly damaged Dutch slave ship arrived, carrying 20 kidnapped black Africans, the colonists bartered food and services for the human cargo. The Africans started working for the colonists. They would work 7 years of hard labor in exchange for land and freedom. But when colonies started to prosper, the colonists were reluctant to lose their labor. Since the Africans did not have citizenship, they were not subject to English common law. They were workers with no rights.

The Constitution was an attempt to address problems of decentralization that were experienced under the Articles of Confederation.

In the 1900’s there were many social reform movements to help improve wages healthcare education and sanitation. The term Muckraker was popularized in the 20th century, spearheaded by writer such as Upton Sinclair, Jack London and frank Norris. They wrote articles in the news “exposing” the food sanitation industries, which lead to greater government regulations. Socialists and Communists began to stir up trouble with workers which lead to one of the first Red scares in the United States. I had no idea that there were so few regulations on food in the 1900’s.

I read the chapter “The Newcomers”, the book first starts off by stating how France started sending explorers to find new lands. When Francis I, (The king of France) sent Jacque Cartier, his job was to find a shipping route and precious gems and metals. Jacque Cartier arrived at Newfoundland and from there journeyed down to Prince Edward Island. Chief Donnacona went with his brother and two sons protest the cross, but the French convinced Donnacona to allow Jacque Cartier to take his two sons Domagaya and Taignoagny. Donnacona told stories to ward off Cartier from going past Quebec City, but soon Cartier went against Donnaconas wishes and past Quebec City and went as far as Montreal. Cartier’s crew got sick with scurvy and died off but he was still alive so he set sail back to France.

To being, the first chapter brings the colorful history of Liberty University. Also, the chapter describes how the founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell Sr., started the log journey to make the University what it is today. It shows that when one puts his faith into the Lord that many things can be accomplished. The Mission Statement that embraces the biblical world view. It helps us to realize our commitment to Jesus, and our loyalty to him as a Christian.

Chapter Nine goes into detail about the late Paleoindian Period the growth of agriculture in North and South America. Clovis points appeared all over the Americas attesting to a continent-wide networking. However, as time pasted distinctive points and tools began to pop up based on region and the needs it provided for. In fact, a common theme of this chapter was the Native Americans ability to exploit their resources and maximize their intake of food sources.

with Kathryn’s observations of the new team she inherits, and it is obvious that the team is broken and must be fixed. Lencioni writes, as Kathryn, explaining that teams sometimes need to be broken in order to be brought back stronger. Kathryn then sets off on a team building off-site in order to uncover the five dysfunctions and work with her team to identify and overcome them. Lencioni utilizes the next chapters of Part Two to establish the five dysfunctions, not in order of importance, but rather in how they become apparent through the story. The ground rules for the company are to make results, but the team dysfunctions get in the way.

After reading Chapter 11 I have learned two things in my endeavor to create a brand for myself. One is: I have already made a deep brand with the employers, classmates, co-workers and friends I know now and second: My brand seems to be more casual than professional in any setting. I have noticed in my past, particularly at GameStop, I seemed to treat everyone with the same mannerisms and dialect regardless of superiority or association. To me, treating people the same and giving respect where it was earned was a big part of my identity. For example: whenever my District Manager would visit the store or call on the phone my first words were usually “What’s up, Jesse?” in a casual and friendly banter. While he enjoyed my carefree and positive

Money and technology intertwine in Darwin-esque manners. Humans evolve their species not genetically, but culturally, and technology drives these cultural phenomenons. With new breakthroughs in electronics occurring in masses, it is only practical to have a capitalist society applicated with the usage of such devices. Therefore, it is not only natural, but necessary, for economics and finance classes to be structured around the aid of technology. This classroom foundation mimics the society’s own practices. In my own economics classroom, technology allows me to be inspired and innovate, all while enhancing my capabilities to understand the logics behind core concepts of capitalism.
