Essay about The Legacy of Harriet Tubman - 1746 Words

Discrimination and slavery filled our nation in the mid 19th century. African Americans were discriminated and seen as â€Å"property,† not human beings. Having been born as a slave, Harriet Tubman was no stranger to the harsh reality of slavery. Tubman’s childhood included working as a house servant and later in the cotton fields. With the fear of being sold, Tubman decided to escape for a better life. Harriet Tubman spent her life trying to save others from slavery, becoming one of the most famous women of her time who was able to influence the abolition of slavery, and effect the lives of many African Americans. Harriet Tubman was born in 1820 as Aranminta Ross in Dorchester County, Maryland. She later changed her name to Harriet after†¦show more content†¦In 1849, Tubman feared that she, along with other slaves, would be sold, so she decided she was going to run away. At first she left with her two brothers, Ben and Henry, on September 17th, but after a n otice was published offering three-hundred dollars for the return of Tubman, and her brothers, her brothers started having second thoughts about escaping, so they returned to the plantation. Tubman didn’t want to stay and have to live life as a slave, so one night she set out on foot alone. By following the North star at night, she as able to make her way to Pennsylvania. She then went to Philadelphia where she started to work and save her money. A year after, she went back to Maryland to bring her sister and her sister’s two children to freedom. She then went back two other times to rescue the rest of her family and her husband, but he had already been with his new wife. Tubman made the dangerous trip from Maryland to the North many times. She put her life on the line to save many other slaves who wanted to escape to freedom and she became known as the â€Å"Moses of her people.† When Harriet Tubman crossed over the Mason Dixon Line into the free state of Penns ylvania she said, â€Å"When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person.

The s Theory Of The Palestinian Refugee Problem - 1438 Words

In 1948, six Arab nations had attacked the newly declared state of Israel. While many propose ideas why this war has occurred, both of us have come up with our own viable theories. We believe that this war is in relations to Benny Morris s theory of a Jihadist war, Efraim Karsh’s theory of the Palestinian Refugee Problem and Elitist control, and our negotiated theory based on British involvement in Palestine. Benny Morris insists that the War of 1948 was a Jihad: a Holy war. He states that this is one of the reasons for why this war happened, and why they have still not reached peace, or some sort of compromise. Before the 1948 war, Jews were slowly buying land from local Muslims. This was, however, illegal according to the Islamic government. In my opinion, buying land from the muslims was a viable and legal way to obtain land, and should be recognized as so. However, the Arabs were outraged that the Jews came and â€Å"stole† land from them. Both the Arabs and the Jews had ties to this land religiously, all sharing landmarks there that signified something to their people. Because this conflict was religious, no compromises could be reached. This led Benny Morris to believe that although the war was influenced by territorial reasons, it was first and foremost an Islamic Holy War. Benny Morris uncovered British Unclassified documents that stated the Arabs â€Å"calling Jihad on t he Jewish People.† Before the UN voted, the Arabs told them that â€Å"their beloved country will be drenchedShow MoreRelatedEnglish Language Education : A Means Of Liberation And A Passport From The Gateway Of Prosperity1692 Words   |  7 Pagesearly marriages in a tribal society.

Graduation Speech School As A Source Of Learning

I hope I m not the only one who notices the increasing disinterest in education in my school. Perhaps, I m simply overreacting to its inevitability. Maybe it s the brief conversations containing absurd amounts of grammatical errors and profanity that I often hear throughout the hallways, or the numerous students who admit to not caring about school that have led me to this conclusion: The majority of teenagers have lost interest in school as a source of learning. There is no need to take my word for it. Observe the increasing number of parents appeasing their children with cash or new cell phones for sub-par grades. Listen to the two â€Å"cool kids† in the back of the classroom that would rather chat about what parties they plan on attending this weekend than acknowledge the teacher s presence. As a site of social gathering, school has remained unchallenged. As a site of learning however, school has become nearly obsolete. The unfortunate truth, however, is that the responsibility for decline in students’ interest in school belongs to many. One area to blame is simply human nature. As children mature, they begin to become interested in other fields and, subsequently, lose interest in school. Another source of disinterest is lazy students. This factor is very tough to overlook and just as challenging to correct. But a third place for the responsibility of student disinterest is the teachers. They play a huge role in all learning and can always improve their methods.

French Policy to Phase Out Petrol and Diesel Vehicles - Samples

Question: Discuss about the Understanding the French Policy to Phase Out Petrol and Diesel Vehicles. Answer: Introduction President Macron announced in July that France will phase out its petrol and diesel vehicles by the year 2040. This announcement comes shortly after the Paris Climate Agreement was signed, to which France is a signatory. This paper examines climate change as a market failure and discusses the effectiveness of this policy in addressing this market failure. This paper also addresses another form of market failure fossil-fuel subsidy. The policy is also discussed in the contet of sunsidies. Market Failure A market failure is a situation when the market mechanism fails to capture all the costs of producing economic goods.(Stern 2007) A market failure implies that a market is not functioning efficiently. The policy described in the article has been announced to deal with the failure called climate change. This a domestic policy intervention by France so that France can fulfil its commitment towards the Paris Accord. Climate change has been described as a market failure because the economic systems do not account for the harmful effects or negative externalities of climate change.(Stern 2007) Petrol and diesel vehicles emit Green House Gases (GHG) and these emissions have externalities in the form of climate change. Climate change entails extreme weathers, global warming and more. Arrow calculated the economic costs of climate change and concluded that the world is better off investing in new climate friendly technologies and mitigation efforts since the benefits of such investment outwe igh its costs.(Arrow 2007) Countries measure economic growth without accounting for the negative externalities of climate change to the environment and public health and consequently, the costs are borne by the society in the form of the costs relating to natural disasters, healthcare costs etc.(Stern 2007) Negative externalities or diseconomies are mathematically represented as a (negative) deviation of Marginal Private Cost (MPC) from the Marginal Social Cost. According to Lipsey Chrystal, (2011) Private costs are those costs that are incurred by parties that are involved directly in the Economic activity and Social costs are those costs that are borne by the society Hence, Marginal Private Costs refer to the private producers cost of the last producing the last unit produced or providing services to the last consumer serviced. Producers will only price goods according to willingness to pay of consumers. Hence, the responsibility of negative externalities can also, be transferred to consumers. The Marginal Social Cost is a valuation of the impact borne by the society in the production of the last unit of good or services. Negative externalities decrease the social good i.e. they have harmful effects or cause inconvenience to the public, in general. (Lipsey and Chrystal 2011). The dia gram given below depicts negative externalities and the loss of social good resulting from the externalities produced by petrol and diesel cars. The Marginal Private Costs in are the cost of producing the cars. The deadweight loss is the difference between the two.(Riley 2005). The loss of social good is the loss of efficiency and this loss of efficiency is calculated a deadweight loss. Climate change is a result of market failure since the producers of negative externalities do no bear the full costs and policy intervention is required to correct the possible harmful effects of climate change. If countries were made to face the negatives effects of climate change proportionate to their carbon emissions, then it would be the ideal response to the problem as countries would have acted to reduce their emissions.(Stern 2007) Some of such policy interventions include carbon pricing and emissions trading. (Arrow, 2007) In the given example, policy change has been used to seek technological intervention i.e. it is hoped that by phasing out inefficient technology and replacing it with more efficient technology, the market failure of climate change can be corrected. In this context, more efficient technology would imply any technology that can replace the vehicles with considerably fewer emissions. For example, electric combustion run vehicles or electric cars are considere d to be more carbon efficient.(Chrisafis Vaughan, 2017) The prime reason for the existence of policy levers such as carbon pricing is that they provide an impetus to technological innovations to reduce the social costs of climate change. France has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions.(United Nations Framework Convention For Climate Change 2017) Climate and these policy interventions drive the market to pay for the social costs or impose checks (caps) on the negative externalities that result from economic activity. Additionally, they provide structures so that those activities that cause these social diseconomies or negative externalities would compensate for it. (Samuelson and Nordhaus 2004) Another form of market failure in this example is the subsidies given for fossil fuels, here petrol and diesel.(Stern 2007) Fossil fuels can also be considered as market failures since the costs of subsidies are borne by tax payers who may or may not avail subsidies in equal amount of their consumption of petrol and diesel. The Impact and Effectiveness of the Policy The policy intervention announced related to investment in a new technology(United Nations Framework Convention For Climate Change 2017) i.e. electric vehicles to replace the older technology i.e. petrol and diesel run vehicles. However, petrol and diesel run vehicles are not just goods but products that a part of the automotive industry with varied allied markets. Key among them are the market for fossil fuels and electric car. Effects on Other Markets a) Effects on Complementary Goods: Petrol and diesel are complementary goods to petrol and diesel combustion vehicles.(Gravelle and Rees 2005) Hence, the reduction in demand and supply of such vehicles will cause a decrease in demand for petrol and diesel itself. As the demand for petrol and diesel decreases, the negative externalities of petrol and diesel (i.e. externalities pertaining to Green House Gas Emissions and externalities pertaining to subsidies) will decrease. This will lead to high social benefits which may off set the additional costs, if any, that the society may incur due to the introduction of the new technology.In the diagram below, the demand for fossil fuels (here taken exclusively as Petrol and Diesel) is assessed, given the demand for Petrol and diesel cars. b) Impact on Electric Car Market Commercial car owners can produce cars by varying the engine of the car. (Chrisafis Vaughan, 2017) Consumer can choose between the petrol and diesel cars and electric cars. i.e petrol and diesel combustion engines and electric combustion engines are substitutes.(Gravelle and Rees 2005) As the demand for electric engine vehicles increases, their average costs will hopefully reduce and the prices of electric vehicles and petrol and diesel run vehicles will begin to converge. As the average costs reduce, the price will reduce too, thereby increasing the demand for electric vehicles further. In the diagram below, it is assumed that future consumers will either choose from the petrol or electric vehicle. The diagram depicts the cross elasticity of demand between electric vehicles and fossil fuel run vehicles.

Categorize and Quantify Components Identified Risks

Question: Developed your knowledge of risks and risk management. Building on your research, appraise your driveway resurfacing project and begin the process of risk identification. To begin your paper, your first step will be to identify as many risks as possible. Categorize and briefly summarize the key components of a risk analysis and those risks that you believe to be appropriate for your project. You may need to make assumptions about the project. Just be sure to document them in the description of the risk. Consider both project and product based risks along with external and internal risks. Distinguish risks to the project budget, completion schedule, resources and the product's quality. Quantify the risks as you categorize them. Answer: Risk Management In project management perspective, management of risks is referred to as the process of understanding, identifying and analyzing potential risks which might occur during the execution of a particular project, evaluating and prioritizing the risks and identifying alternative methods for assessment and control, objectives for maximizing the rate of achieving the project goals and minimizing or eliminating the rate of risks to occur. The process of risk management in a project involves several steps such as Risk Identification, Prioritization, Planning and Scheduling, Tracking, monitoring and controlling the risks (Callis, 2015). Risk Analysis Process The process of risk analysis requires problem solving skills. Risks are prioritized and assessed. The steps are: Identifying risks: involves several techniques of risk identification which are described below in detail (Campo, 2012). Assessing the risks: detect root causes of the risks that have been identified Develop risk responses: the project team figures out possible ways to manage the risks and remedies to recovery from the risks as well as prevention methods. Develop plan for risk prevention: the ideas and alternative responses are transformed into contingency plans (Deventer, Imai Mesler, 2013). Risk Identification Risk Identification is the process of identifying number of potential risks by the risk management team so that it is possible to take necessary precautions and follow approaches where least risk is included. Risk identification is an iterative process which means it is undertaken multiple times over the life cycle of a project. The risk identification process is conducted by the management team in order to identify the chances of occurrence of risks at an early stage. This process significantly increases the chances of completion of the project within the deadline and budget and meets the desired quality (Given, 2015). The main objective is to identify the possible risks that might be affecting the execution of project. Thereafter, each alternative risks are analyzed and documented in detail (Iverson, 2013). There are several risk identification tools and techniques available that are used to detect potential risks: Reviewing SRS (Software Requirement Specification) and project documentations Gathering information using techniques such as Delphi Technique, Brainstorming technique, taking interviews, root-cause analysis etc Diagrammatic approach: analysing cause-effect diagram, UML activities diagrams, process flow charts etc SWOT (Strength-Weakness-Opportunities-Threats) Analysis Expert Analysis and Judgement (Machado, 2012). Checklist and assumption analysis, analysis of similar projects undertaken earlier Categorizing and Quantifying Identified Risk Components Internal Risks There are a number of internal risks identified in a business project scenario. Internal risks are those that are originated within the organization. It can be categorised as follows: Not having enough financial resources to meet the requirements. A suitably efficient organizational infrastructure determines the success of a business. It includes the facility proper of software and IT infrastructures, availability of servers and tech support etc. The additional issues include ample supply of electricity and other necessary equipment for the development process. The employees or staff issues such as sudden termination or resignation of personnel, prolonged absence due to sickness or other reasons, internal politics, mismanagement of staffs can be the cause of potential downfall of a business or project (Meyer Reniers, 2013). External Risks The origin of external risks falls outside the scope of an organization or project team. The characteristics of external risks make it difficult to predict or control. Risks in this category include the economy. There is a great impact of economy on a projects or businesss success. Other factors such as the possibility of occurrence of bankrupt, crimes, and non-cooperating vendors directly drive the effectiveness of a project. Change in governmental policies and regulations are another major factor needed to be considered. Other mentionable risks are not keeping up with the advancement of technology, motives of company shareholders etc. Even though external risks are comparatively harder to identify and assessed, both internal and external types of risks are required to be assessed so that it helps in the long-term management and a satisfactory completion of the project (Price MacNicoll, 2015). Product Risks There might be significant amount of risks involved in product and technologies fields. Some of the product and/or technology risks can be building wrong UI (User Interface) which in turn requires the process of redesigning and reimplementation (Sadia, Rizwan Beg Faisal, 2014). Gold-Plating: If a project needs extra requirements and functionalities which results in continuation of the development phase over a longer period of time without any positive results and often unnecessarily prolonged duration of time schedule (Zhang Wu, 2012). Often it is the case that the selected technology for a particular project is not suitable for the end-users use or even is not properly compatible with the given problem. There might be situations where the technology being used does not provide the scope for interfacing with other systems. These problems add to the extension of project schedule. Products which are developed with zero tolerance of failure are often danger to the project. These products have the potential to damage the execution of an entire project system. There should be alternatives and available solutions for the product to recover from a failure. Often products which are not tested properly are identified as causing potential threats to the business. Hence the end products should always go through all the testing mechanisms and the test results should be well documented for the purpose of future use (Zhao, Li, Duan Li, 2014). Project Risks The project management risks can be classified into a number of categories based on the type scope and consequences of the risks. Some of the main project-based risks can be divided into the following: Schedule Risk There are possibilities in a project life cycle where the project might not meet the required and mentioned schedule. There might be cases where an important task is skipped or not performed in the development phase. It then requires going back to that step and carrying out the whole process all over again. Moreover, a delay in one specific task may result in delay of the following tasks that were dependent on that particular task. It is known as cascading delays. Scope Risk The scope of the project can be changed or altered by several factors such as growing complexity, series of additional requirements ordered by clients, project integration problems, wrong estimation of resource requirements etc. Unanticipated and unexpected changes made in legal or regulatory framework, defects in integration process, scope creep, undefined scopes, and absence of WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) to identify unambiguous and ill defined objectives are some of the root causes of risks in project management (Meyer Reniers, 2013). Technology Risk This type of risks includes defects in hardware and software functionalities, unanticipated service or platform failures, poor security mechanisms. There is a lot of technological factors involved causing potential risk such as stability, security, scalability etc. Moreover, there should be management strategies for ensuring operational safety in the technology being used. Technology risk assessment protocols are deployed to detect the safely issues. Resource Risk Resources in a project management scenario can be of several types, people and funds being the fundamental resources. Not having adequate number of staffs from the beginning can result in project delay and mismanagement. From a financial point of view, if there is insufficient funds involved then there is hindrance to the completion of the required tasks. These factors directly depend on proper estimation of the cost of project and allocating budgets accurately. Employing sufficient number of personnel and monitoring them regularly results on probable elimination of risks. Quality Risk QRM or Quality Risk Management is a separate part of risk management methodology. The potential threats that might hamper the quality of product is assessed. ORM evaluates the risks and implements appropriate mechanisms to lessen or eliminate those risks. Primary risks include absence of a product or user manual or proper documentation, inability of the end product to meet the specified requirements by the clients. It depends on factors such as products functionalities and performance, product reliability, scalability and flexibility. Products that have too many features often increase the complexity thereby making it incomprehensive for the end-users or customers (Meyer Reniers, 2013). Requirement Risk Often there are certain projects in which the requirements cannot be determined beforehand. The clients requirement specification keeps on changing and as a result an iterative process of development model needs to be followed. Also the requirements those are requested late during the projects life cycle are beyond the scope of the development team and thus the overall development procedure becomes slow and thereby more time consuming. Financial Risk There are times when certain factors might cause the project fail to deliver the desired savings. Moreover, the available fund to carry out all the tasks involved in the project development might not be sufficient in some cases. The project fund can be subjected to be misused or used inappropriately those ultimately results in inability of the organization to deliver the product within the specified time schedule (Zipperer Amori, 2011).
