Julie Boyette AGIN 5333 Dr. Shida Henneberry 27 July 2015 Book Report: Mobilizing Communities Mobilizing Communities is a compendium of case studies written about using asset building as a community development strategy. Rather than organizing people around needs or problems, this strategy asks communities to identify and advance a plan based upon strengths (Ennis 405). John Kretzmann and John McKnight pioneered the language of asset-based community development (ABCD) - a series of community unifying

Critically evaluate Pinker 's claim that music is auditory cheesecake: Pinker’s metaphorical expression for music was “auditory cheesecake”, explaining that he considered this function “useless[as a biological adaptation]” (Pinker 1997, p.528). Perhaps avid listeners comfort feed their minds with acoustic cheesecake, but musical knowledge presents the impact of such sweetness goes far beyond just licking the spoon. Extracting Pinker’s perspective, this essay will discuss whether music is valuable

PIP pt 1: Proposal: Introduction – 273 words The general topic of my PIP is the younger generation’s (specifically Gen Y and Z - the digital natives) inherent captivation with social media and the moral and social quandary this poses. The benefit of social media is ambiguous to say the least; does it serve as a tool to better network with the world around you? Or are its effects much more negative in nature? Accordingly, my hypothesis in relation to my topic is that “Social media

Humans are not born with an inherent language or culture, but rather gained through enculturation. The view of race was an invention whose purpose was to ascribe a continual low status to some while granting privilege to others, allowing them to gain wealth and power.

Your responsibilities as teachers at this community college are very important in educating the dedicated students that attend your school. As an aging baby-boomer approaching retirement, no doubt like some of you in this room today, I recognize the importance of providing opportunities for growth and experiential learning in our young adults that will affect not only their lives, but those of everyone else around them. It is this distinguished group of graduates that will become our leaders, policy

DC Comic’s Green Arrow and the Flash operate within the blurred lines of morality to justify their pursuits to stop crime. When audiences attribute their moral reasoning to Green Arrow and the Flash, it seems they, the main character, can do no wrong. It is only when the character deviates outside the audiences moral compass that the audience perceive a lack of sound judgment. Green Arrow and The Flash fight crime for different reasons. The Green Arrow fights crime to punish those who have failed

When one hears the word psychology, a therapist on a couch asking patients to talk out their problems usually come to mind. In fact, the field is much more important and relevant in our everyday lives than one may think. Cambridge’s Dictionaries Online website defines it as “the scientific study of the way the human mind works and how it influences behavior, or the influence of a particular person’s character on their behavior” (2015). How we act and react, what we think and say, and why we do what

are that men are to take on a dominant role and women are to be submissive. A patriarchal society is one controlled by men, this is what we are currently ruled by. Patriarchy is then maintained through mediation - the role the media plays on our enculturation to the meanings and values in society is massive. This stereotypical way women are depicted in the media is very adverse ‘virtually every media

The area of curriculum in which I am interested is primary school mathematics in New Zealand. Learning and teaching mathematics is an important area of focus and challenge for teachers and researchers. Children difficulties with like and dislike for mathematics seem to increase as they progress to higher grades and, as testing become more significant in terms of its intermediate and lower term consequences.
