James Kofi Thesis

Considering the environment in which James grew up certainly had an impact on his life. Some of the influences in his life were being poor, racism, his parents and the church. The areas that affected his moral development stem from when he grew up, doing the time of segregation. Segregation had an impact on how he viewed the world. He felt that everyone should be treated equally. James’s moral belief was that blacks should have a choice, and have the same opportunities as others. When he saw the separate drinking fountains for whites and blacks, he recalls the mental pain, but for him only God could take care of. He used his music as away to communicate how he felt. Growing up poor affected James’s emotional development. He never wanted any handouts.

James life, causes him to struggle with his self-actualization because he does not know who he is or his true identity. However, because he knows so little about his own life, he is led to ask questions and find out answers. “Yet I myself had no idea who I was. I loved my mother yet I looked nothing like her. Neither did I look like the role-models in my life” (91). The only way he figures out who he is, is by asking questions and finding bits and pieces of information. He struggles greatly with himself, and the only way for him to know himself is to know his mother. This gets back to the idea that the parallelism between him and his mother, or chapters 9 and 10, helps him in his

James grew up in a racist and segregated part of history. Often times racial slurs were used to describe people of African descent during the time James was growing up. Even during school James would be called these horrendous names: “...someone in the back of the class whispered, “James is ni**er!” followed by a ripple of tittering and giggling across the room” (McBride 89). The fact that small school children call blacks these names shows how racist the many people are and the hatred and discrimination that blacks face. These experience taught James how people treat those that appear to be different. Another experience that taught James this was when he and his family went to the Jewish store and were discriminated against. McBride had many experiences in which he and his family were discriminated against whether it was by the police or store owners: “Some of these Jews can’t stand you” (86). All in all, incidents with people who have a particular dislike for blacks shaped James into the way

The first obstacle James faced in his life was him questioning his mother’s appearance in Kindergarten. He

“I did it alone, waiting in the dark doorway of a barbershop as the women got off the bus, ripping the purses out of their protesting hands as they cried out in fear and shock” (McBride 34). But according to James, he had every right in the world to steal from other people. At that time he was feeling that he “was getting back at the world for injustices I had suffered” (McBride 34). Several years later, James finally realized how wrong he was. He felt horrible about the everything he had done, and completely regretted all the decisions he made things he did as a teenager. James even claimed that “If you sat me down and asked me which injustices I was talking about, I wouldn't be able to name them if my life depended on it” (McBride 34). In the beginning and the end of the book, James perspective on the world is very similar. It took a lot of questioning the world, and him making numerous wrong decisions, but in the end, all he discovered is that he was right all along. James learned that it’s not alright to take out your frustrations on the world and on other people, it’s not fair to them or yourself because it’ll just make you feel worse in the

David Koresh came to power after marrying the previous leaders wife, after leaving the Waco group for a year he came back and in order to reclaim his position he shot the man fighting against him (the dude actually lived through it all). Along with the attempted murder of George Roden Koresh was also said to have relations with many women, some of those being teenagers (Biography). In the eyes of the public Koresh was a horrible person and some like Brad compare him to Jim Jones and willingly call Koresh as he was, a monster.

becomes higher than $200,000, any profit beyond this amount would be taxed at 40%. So, if the alternative #5 makes the PBT higher than $200,000, we have to consider another tax saving = $200,000 (40%-28%).

1. Javdani states her thesis toward the end of paragraph 3.” To begin to solve the problem, we need to understand what’s happening in drug-source countries, how the United States can and can’t help there, and what, instead, can be done at home.” In paragraph 4 and 7 she describes what is happening in drug source nations, and in paragraphs 8 and 9, she explains how the United States can and cannot help there, and in paragraph 10 and 11 she presents a defense for what, rather, should be done possible at home (Javdani, par. 3,4,7,8,9,10,11).

This article by David Halbrook speaks about the growing number of men that delay marriage while remaining sexually active. This results in a large number of single mothers and children growing up without their fathers. The article brings up quite a few good points regarding marriage and family but also contains many bias, unprovable and distasteful statements. Statements such as, “Marriage is the social glue that bonds fathers to their offspring." No, I don't think that's quite how it works, many fathers love their children without ever marrying their mother and consistently remain active in their lives. There is no qualifier in this statement either which is a fallacy in an argumentative paper unless a hard fact is presented. I’d like to see

Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary-General, aspires for the Iraqi people to speak up about what they want done in their country. After coming up with a decision, they have the ability to vote for what they believe in. In his message, Annan begins by repeating the pronoun you in phrases such as “you will have the opportunity to exercise your democratic right” and “the future is in your hands” (Annan). He does this to emphasize that the country of Iraq relies on its’ people and these citizens hold the power to decide what should be done. They should use their ability to come up with a righteous decision. He uses the antithesis “keep the guns quiet on all sides and let the voices of the Iraqi people be heard” (Annan). This compares the loud, destructive
