“Bienvenue à la paix de la Téranga”. That was the first thing I was told when I first got off the plane in Senegal, a predominantly Islamic West African country I spent two years living in. During my time there I had the privilege to get in touch with my roots and see a different aspect of life. Not everything is peaches and cream life, I thought I understood that being from Detroit and seeing a lot of poverty and all but I guess I didn't grasp it for the night until I saw children on the street begging for food every day with no shoes, worn out clothes and infections of their heads. I learned that in Senegal people called these children were called talibes , Quranic students forced to do labor for their Serignes or marabouts.As I …show more content…
These punishments range from beating talibes with whips to chaining them by the ankles for days to poles.They don’t provide talibes with good living conditions, putting up to 15 talibes in a room.Most of these boys don’t wash their clothes for weeks.These children, mostly the boys who are the only ones permitted to leave the Darras to beg, are sick with diseases and have many infections.Most talibes that run away are usually brought back by other talibes or come back because they can’t fend for themselves. These Quranic teachers have developed a strong presence in the Senegalese government. Samantha Macfarlane in wrote an article on www.berkleycenter.georgetown.edu that “ Marabouts have large enough followings that their support of a political candidate may influence or determine the outcome of an election.” This causes mutual relationships between marabouts and politicians sometimes involving in corruption.Due to this fact, marabouts had little opposition to no opposition from the government until 2016. But what are people doing to stop this growing problem and help these children? Luaren Seibert wrote in www.hrw.org article that “In June 2016, the government demonstrated meaningful political will by introducing a new program to remove children from the streets”.But after a year the Human Rights Watch and the Platform for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights ( a coalition of Senegalese rights groups)

The first paper is due by Monday, April 9, 11:59 p.m. You MAY use sources outside of the Liberty Search Engine (and are encouraged to do so). Also you may use scholarly books and not just journal articles. You should avoid using generic websites that do not appear scholarly in nature. A good rule of thumb is that if a website does not have an author, it is not a good source. Good online material has also usually been published in print at some point. Google Scholar and JSTOR are great places to search, as well as the online encyclopedias I've shown you. Always feel free to send me an email if you have questions about sources or formatting.
“Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.” –Hippocrates, 460-377 BC. If a Greek physician could make this statement over 2300 years ago, why is it such an under-exposed theory today? As stated in Chiropractic First, written by Dr. Rondberg, a chiropractor of 35 years and founder of the “Chiropractic Journal,” Hippocrates “believed that only nature could heal and it was the physician’s duty to remove any obstruction that would prevent the body from healing” (8-9). These “physicians” are called chiropractors today, and their goal is to remove subluxations, the displacement of two or more spinal disks that causes
It is not difficult to figure out what the liberal arts are; all it took was a simple google search and the definition was brought up instantly. Liberal arts are academic subjects such as literature, philosophy, mathematics, and social and physical sciences as distinct from professional and technical subjects. I am not majoring in any of these subjects and I hardly have any classes such as these in my schedule so I decided I needed to look up definitions that actually pertain to me. The definition of a liberal arts college was just as easy to find as the last one. A liberal arts college is a college with an emphasis on undergraduate study in the liberal arts and sciences. A liberal arts college aims to impart a broad general knowledge and

The following day, Coates returned to work with her notepad full of notes that she’d collected after studying Reno’s Facebook page. They’d been told that he and Savannah were madly in love, the next power couple, and had been dating for two years. They’d seen how he comforted Darlene, Savannah’s mother, at the crime scene. Coates’ experience had taught her that nothing is what it seems and Reno’s Facebook page corroborated her skills.

Let’s start with what exactly the liberal arts are “The term comes from the medieval concept of the artes liberalis, the seven liberal arts that were appropriate for a free man to pursue, verses artes illiberalis or artes mechanicae which were pursued for economic purposes and involved vocational and practical arts, which prepared young persons to become weavers, blacksmiths, farmers, hunters, navigators, soldiers, or doctors. The seven liberal arts included three basic arts focused on developing a felicity with language: grammar, rhetoric, and dialectic. There were four advanced mathematical-physical arts: geometry, arithmetic, music, and astronomy, who were known as quadrivim” (Roche, 5).

umors circulated all week. Details were scant. No time or place was certain, but the word was that white nationalists and supremacists coming to town for Saturday’s Unite the Right rally had a Friday night surprise. They were going to march in a torchlight procession — a symbolic gathering meant to evoke similar marches of Hitler Youth and other ultraright nationalist organizations of the past century.

This year in 8th grade, my fellow students and I were taught several skills in Geometry, Language Arts, Science, P.E, and History. Many of these skills I have learned in these classes can benefit me in my high school years. From these skills, the first skill I believe will help immensely in high school is time management. The second skill that I've found beneficial is the ability to think and act quickly. Finally, the third and most important skill is the ability to concentrate on assignments. These three skills will definitely help make high school be less difficult and much more comfortable.
