Instead, they see him as a reflection of...

Ralph Ellisons Battle Royal...Ralph Ellison's "Battle Royal" was published over five decades ago and, as a story, dealt with the experiences of a young, African American male living during the era of racism and segregation. It is, in other words, a story that is supposedly distant from the contemporary reader, whether in terms of the historical period it focuses on or its subject matter. The story, however, has survived and continues to be read with interest, not just by African-Americans or Americans but by numerous racial and national groups. As a foreigner to whom this story has supposedly no historical or cultural interest, it had deeply personal meaning because its focus was not the plight of an African American male as such but the human...

Williams Syndrome...Hope with Music in Williams Syndrome (WS) Twenty missing genes can have a devastating effect on the lives of people. This is what is true with people who have Williams Syndrome (WS). A Gloria Lenhoff, for example, can't add 5 plus 4, but would remember more than 1,000 songs. A Michael Williams can't go out the door without getting lost, yet can play almost anything. And a Meghan Finn can't tell left from right, but studies music in college (CBS News, 2004). In other words, these are people born with defects and yet, they have plus factors going for them, musicality for one. It is music that can get them through a very tough life, different from the normal lives of others.

Walter williams... 26 July Critical Analysis of Walter Willliams’s Argument Passing the Senate Resolution 26 does not mean that the African Americans have to be compensated, and if by any means the compensation has to be made, the money has to be retrieved from the American government. The biggest fallacy in Williams’s argument is that reparations have to be made to the African Americans and the descendants of the slaves since the US Senate has passed the 26th Senate Resolution. It is a resolution about apology. Apologies are made when one party has done harm to another, and feels sorry about it. This does not necessarily mean that the first party has to compensate the second party in any way. If compensations were to be made, then apology becomes... ...
