If I could host a dinner party and I could invite anyone. I would invite Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Huey P. Newton. Martin Luther King Jr. led the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and also in the 1960s Malcolm X was a national minister and spokesman of the Nation of Islam and Huey P. Newton led Black Panther Party in 1966 through 1987. I would invite these three men because they led different organizations to gain equal rights for African-Americans in the 1960s. They had different views on getting equal rights. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. believed in peaceful protesting and turning the other cheek but Malcolm X and Huey P. Newton believed by any means necessary that means they will do anything and everything to get equality. I would ask questions about how did they organization’s start and how they overcome all of the naysayers. I would serve roasted chicken and water served as a drink. We would talk about their deaths and did they felt they could have done more before they died. Also, we would talk about the current situations with African-Americans. I feel like we could use different tactics to get the job done. I think they will be upset how blacks are treated by society today. They probably thought after their deaths African Americans will be treated with more
The context of "Turning Off, Dining In" is twofold. First, a mother acknowledges the diminishing quality of family time, specifically around the dinner table, attributable to modern day electronics and distractions. Her realization that she too is caught up in the mayhem of electronic dependency is a catalyst to having her write the
"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" was an amazing film filled with laughs and emotions. I was very intrigued with the movie because of the acting portrayed. The facial expressions of shock and the body language of all the parents was comical and real to their characters. You could see some
In “Uncle Sam’s Thanksgiving Dinner” and “America The Land of Opportunity”, both cartoons show different aspects of immigration. America was founded by immigrants. Our brave and heroic founding fathers set out to create a new nation. The founding fathers wanted to get away from the burdens in England and establish a new colony unlike any around. This nation would be free of unjust rule and any tyranny. They wanted citizens of the country to have rights that would never be taken away. We all came from Immigrants at some point in time. People left where they lived due to hardships and wanted best for their families. If Immigration didn't exist, America wouldn't exist.
In this report, we will be taking a look in Dinner Party Economics written by Eveline Adomait and Richard Maranta. Specifically, we will be looking at Chapters eleven and twelve; Macroeconomic policy and inevitable political debate. Hello its me gka d shk gd h gd hj gusg Let us first dive into chapter eleven about macroeconomic policy. The big picture in this chapter is that policy matters. Some big questions and ideas we should have from this chapter are: 1) Who is in charge?-“what can a government do (if anything) to change its country’s economic circumstances? What are the tools of the trade, so to speak?” (page 146) 2) What is your problem? Before we even think about what policies are in effect and should be in effect for certain situations, we first need to establish the situation. What are we looking at? 3) Wait and see- For some situations it is best if no action is proceeded at the moment. In certain scenarios it is actually better to wait it out and see if things can correct itself 4) At your discretion- if the economy and/or problem cannot correct itself, higher powers such as central banks and governments will have to step in and lend a hand to try to take action to help fix it. The ideas listed above are to aid in the definition of policy. According to Webster dictionary, the definition of policy is as follows: a definite course or method of action selected from among alternatives and in light of given conditions to guide and determine present and future decisions or a high-level overall plan embracing the general goals and acceptable procedures especially of a governmental body”. This evidently connects to Macroeconomics and the factors of that. Back in chapter one, one of the ideas was that size is not the issue. It does not matter really how big, small or wealthy a market is, it is about “many different markets interacting with each other as a whole” (page 4). I think that is very true that no matter the size or wealth of a market, policy will still be taking place. In chapter three, it discusses the measures of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (page 17). It considers how we can measure the economy and the ways to do so. When evaluating our problem, we must take in mind the measure of what is at stake. We conduct measurements of the economy and all that we need to be able to get the full picture and get the absolute best information to make the best and most accurate decision. From that step, it will give us a clearer picture of whether we should take the ‘wait and see’ step or the ‘at your discretion’ step. One final things that connects to the subject of policy is what is in chapter four. Chapter four talks about money as the main topic. What interested me is the conversation between the students at the beginning of the chapter (page 27). Money is such a general thing that can be looked at, spent and used in so many different ways. Even a group of similar people (students in university), can have such different ideas of money because of the way they live, grew up and were taught and handled money. Many policies involve money. If so many people have such different ideals when it comes to money, are policies fair? Well I guess you could look at that question as one of the roles of policy. To bring fairness to the economy. Now to jump into chapter twelve; inevitable political debate. There a truly going to be endless and infinite amounts of political debates for as long as we shall live here on this earth. Everyone one has an opinion, especially when it comes to society, the economy, policies, laws etc., even if they may not express their opinions frequently or out loud. With so many people, so many different and unique people on the earth with different levels of education, different race, genders, languages, and so many more. There are going to be a lot of different point of views, and inevitably, political discussions. In chapter five, a common lesson is brought up to portray an example of circular flow. To aid in the illustration of that flow, the phrase used was “what goes around, comes around” (page 44). In politics, actions you take, even little ones have a huge effect, especially being higher in power with roles such as prime minister, or president. Any actions you take may have repercussions
Dinner is about communication whether it is with family or someone you have just met. You exchange stories and learn a lot about a person. So as I say this I have chosen three women to take to dinner not only because they are African American but because they are
Although the small group of church goers were mostly elderly Caucasian people, they were diverse and friendly towards new individuals. Those who wore the traditional, elegant attire of a Sunday worship service greeted with a firm handshake and a gentle smile. On the other hand, those who preferred to wear casual outfits greeted with tight hugs and hearty laughter from seeing a new face. After talking to more than half of the attendants, it was evident that everyone knew a lot about each other. It was nice to hear that most of them had overwhelmingly positive words to say about the church itself. Then, I finally met the middle-aged pastor who was glad to see someone new and introduced me to his wife. She had a stoic expression and had nothing to say. Honestly, the wife’s silence struck me as surprising considering how the other people were talkative, but it is nothing to be overly concerned about. After all, it was almost time for the Sunday service to

For much of our history as a species, humans have understood the need for and the importance of solitude. Entire religions developed out of ideas centered around the individual, and the interactions between individuals and nature, or deities. It is only more recently, however, that engagement in social interaction became prized above introspectiveness. Writer and lecturer Susan Cain credits this change in perspective with the turn of the 20th century and the industrialization and urbanization of the United States and much of the rest of the world: The “agricultural economy [shifted] to a world of big business,” she says, and suddenly droves of people were moving from rural areas into big cities. People who had formerly worked as farmers with just the people they lived with, or others they had known for their whole lives, suddenly had to learn how to interact with vast numbers of strangers in a new, incredibly stimulating environment.
The film “Guess who’s coming to dinner” surprised me. It was surprised me that a white girl and a black man would get married. It was surprising because in the 1960’s it wasn’t normal for a white and black person to get married. It surprised me that the mom was okay with their marriage so easily because I expected the mom to be like the dad and say no, but the mom was okay with her daughter marrying a black man because she knew it would make her happy. It stood out to me that Joanna didn’t care what her parents thought and told her parents that they were still going to get married even if they said no. It stood out to me that they were getting married so fast because I thought everything was happening really fast too just like their parents.
The three artists I would invite to dinner would be Ludwig van Beethoven, Jack Johnson and Frank Sinatra. I would invite Beethoven because his music was revolutionary and is still taught in schools today. We are taught that he was more than just a musician and that he could create
Guess who is coming to dinner, directed by Stanley Kramer and written by William rose. Staring Spencer Trace who died 17 days after filming was completed. Cindy Poitier first African American wins an Oscar and Katharine Hepburn who won an academy award for her performance in this movie. The well written contemporary story is full of meaningful convincing arguments designed to make the audience question their values about race relations.
After the end of the French revolution, came an era of artistic prosperity. The French had taken it upon themselves to rebuild the country's political and social structure. This was also the awakening of impressionism, which seeks to recreate a scene or impression of a scene. It was started by a group of French painters is considered the first “art movement.” Pierre-Auguste Renoir, was one of the artist who took part in this revolution towards a more progressive era. His portfolio of paintings uses this style of painting as to bring about social change. Renoir’s “Luncheon on the Boat Party” is an impressionist oil painting that portrays French society in a simple, yet elegant manner. His use of a selective color palette and an angled viewpoint that emphasizes the differences in France’s 19th century
