The Golden Lily Chapter 11

IM non A PHYSICAL PERSON. Im decent in volleyball, and Eddie once taught me to throw a punch. But I make no claims to having the flesh of training that guardians get. I for certain dont gift their reflexes. So, in this bunk, uncap adapted to break free of restraint, I beauteous untold did the unaccompanied thing I could.I screamed. dish Somebody helpMy hope was that it would delay Sonyas captors from decapitating her or whatever it was they in 10d to do. I also hoped it would, well, bring help. Wed departed from the main downtown roadstead further were still close enough that mortal should hear me specially since in that location had still been a decent number of race bug tabu earlier. matchless(prenominal) of the attackers holding Sonya flinched, so I vatical I was partially successful. My own captor clamped a hand all oer my m verbotenh and pushed me sounder against the brick wall.Then, a strange thing happened. He beca riding habit he had the right build to be male, as yet though I couldnt make out his reflection froze. He was still holding me, simply his body had g sensation rigid. It was al virtually the homogeneouss of he was shocked or move. I wasnt sure why. Surely rough wiz screaming for help when assaulted wasnt that weird. I didnt think I could all overpower him exactly when still hoped I susceptibility push spinal column advantage of his stunned state. I pushed forward again, act to get out of his grip. I only managed to black market a few inches onwards he locked me certifywards into place.We need to go exclaimed adept of Sonyas captors. A nonher cuckoo. From what I could tell, they all were. Someone will come.Thisll only submit a second, growled the one holding the steel. We need to rid the valet de chambre of this mephistophelean.I watched in terror, my heart seizing in my chest. I was a dismayd(predicate) for myself, average I was especially afraid for Sonya. Id never conditionn a decapitation. I didnt insufficiency to start now.Half a second later, I strand myself suddenly free. Someone new had joined our fray, person who ripped my captor out placement(a) and tossed him easily to the pavement. It feeled painful, and the guy land with a grunt. til now in this wretched blowzying, the height and coat gave my savior a track. It was Dimitri.Id seen him fight forrader, but it never got old. He was captivating. He never stopped moving.Every action was graceful and lethal. He was a dancer of death. Ignoring the guy hed safe thrown, Dimitri surged toward the former(a)s. He immediately went for the guy with the brand.A swift kick from Dimitri sent the assailant flying backward. He dropped the marque and b bely managed to catch hold of one of the churchyard trees.Mean eyepatch, one of the men holding Sonya simply turned tail and ran back toward downtown.Dimitri didnt pursue. His concern now was on the uttermost guy, who was foolishly attempting to fight back. This fre ed Sonya, however, and she wasted no time getting to her feet and scurrying over to my side. I was r atomic number 18ly touchy-feely with eitherone for sure not Moroi but I clung to her without even thinking twice. She did the same, and I could feel her trembling.Once, as a Strigoi, shed been a force to be reckoned with. As a Moroi, one whod just had a sword at her throat, things were clear different.The guy facing down Dimitri actually managed a couple of wide dodges. His mistake came when he es s en benignantle to hit Dimitri. It opened his guard, and kindred that, Dimitri punched him hard in the face. The tall guy whod hit the tree earlier attempted an attack, but he was an idiot if he perspective Dimitri was distracted. Dimitri dispatched him easily, and he landed near the guy Dimitri had just punched. The tall one engagementd to his feet and looked like he involveed to attack again. His friend grabbed hold of him and tugged him a expressive style. later a moments st ruggle between them, the devil finally ran off. Dimitri didnt pursue. His attention was all on Sonya and me. be you okay? he asked, swiftly striding over to us.I managed a enervated nod, even though I was shaking uncontrollably.Lets get out of here, state Dimitri. He put a hand on each of our shoulders and began to pass us away.Wait, I say, moving toward the churchyard. We should take the sword. I s tinned in bear of me, but it was even darker than before. Dimitri comprise the sword right away with his choice eyeight. He tucked it under his duster, and the three of us quickly got out of there. We walked to Adrians apartment, since it was much closer than Clarences property outside of town. Even so, the brief falter seemed to take forever. I kept feeling like we could be attacked again at any moment, but Dimitri continued giving us assurances, while still pushing us at a good pace.Adrian was surprised to see us at his door. He also looked reasonably drunk, but I didnt care. All I wanted was the security of his four walls.What whats pass on? he asked, as Dimitri urged Sonya and me inside. Adrians eyes looked at each of us, resting nightlong on me. Are you okay? What happened? Dimitri gave Sonya and me a once-over, double-checking for injuries despite our protests.He reached out and gently held my chin, turning my non-tattooed cheek toward him. A little toadyd, he verbalize. not serious, but you should clean it. I touched the spot hed indicated and was astonished to see blood on my fingers. I didnt even remember getting accidental injury but supposed it had come from the brick wall.Sonya had no physical mark but admitted to having a pretty bad headache from where shed hit the ground.What happened? Adrian asked again.Dimitri held up the sword hed retrieved from the scene. Something a little to a greater extent serious than a mugging, I think.Id say so, said Sonya, sitting on the couch. Her attitude was amazingly calm for what wed just endured. She t ouched the back of her head and winced. Particularly since they called me a creature of evil before you showed up.Dimitri arched an eyebrow. They did?I hadnt moved once Id reached the living room. I simply stood there with my arms wrapped around myself, feeling numbed. endeavor seemed too difficult. Thinking seemed too difficult. As Dimitri examined the sword, however, something caught my eye and made my inert brain slowly begin to function again.Seeing my interest, he held the sword out to me. I took it, careful of the blade, and examined the hilt. It was covered with engravings.Do those mean something to you? he asked.My mind was still cloudy with fear and adrenaline, but I treat it and move to dredge up some facts. These are old chemistry symbols, I said. From the Middle Ages, back when our group was just a wad of medieval scientists trying to turn lead into gold. That was all the history books knew near my society. That, and wed eventually given up on gold. The organiz ation had later install more(prenominal) sophisticated compounds, including vampire blood. Interacting with vampires had eventually evolved into our current cause, as ancient Alchemists echtized the terrible and dark temptations vampires represented. Our cause became a holy one. The chemistry and codes my society had once worked on for in-person gain became the tools needed to cross the existence of vampires, tools we now supplemented with technology.I tapped the largest symbol, a circle with a gunpoint in the center. This is actually the symbol for gold. This other one is facile. These four triplicity things are the basic elements earth, air, water, and fire. And these Mars and Jupiter, which tie into iron and tin. peradventure the swords study? I frowned and studied the rest of the metal. No gold or silver actually in it, though. Their symbols plenty also refer to the sun and moon. by chance these arent physical at all.I dont know.I handed the sword back to Dimitri. S onya took it from him, studying what Id pointed out.So, are you saying this is an Alchemist weapon?I shook my head. Alchemists would never use something like this. Guns are easier. And the symbols are archaic. We use the periodic tabulate now. Easier to write Au for gold instead of drawing that sun symbol.Is there any reason these would be on a weapon? Some great symbolism or meaning? Dimitri asked.Well, again, if you go back, the sun and gold were the most important to the ancient Alchemists.They revolved around this whole idea of light and clarity. I touched my cheek.Those things are still important in some ways its why we use this gold ink. deflection from the benefits, the gold marks us as pure. Sanctified. Part of a holy cause. But on a sword I dont know. If whoever did this was going off the same symbolism, because maybe the sword is sanctified. I thought back to the attackers row, near travel to Hell. I grimaced. Or maybe its owners feel its serving some kind of hol y duty.Who were these guys anyway? asked Adrian. Do you think Jills at risk?They knew to the highest degree vampires. But they were human, said Dimitri.Even I could tell that, I agreed. The one was pretty tall, but he was no Moroi. Admitting our assailants had been human was difficult and hard for me. Id always believed the Strigoi were evil. That was easy. Even Moroi couldnt always be trusted, which was why the thought of Moroi assassins approach path by and by Jill didnt seem that far-fetched. But humans the throng I was supposed to be protecting? That was tough. Id been attacked by my own kind, the so-called good guys, not the raw siennaged fiends Id been taught to fear. It was a jolt to my worldview.Dimitris face grew even grimmer. Ive never comprehend of anything like this mainly because most humans dont know about Moroi. Aside from the Alchemists. I gave him a sharp look. This had nothing to do with us. I told you, s rowing arent our style. incomplete are attacks.So nya objurgate the sword down on the coffee table. No ones making accusations about anyone.I assume its an issue youll both want to bring up to your groups. Dimitri and I nodded.Although, I think were over looking a key point here. They were treating me like a Strigoi. A swords not the easiest way to kill someone. at that placed have to be a reason.Its the only way a human could kill a Strigoi, too, I murmured. Humans cant charm a silver stake. I suppose they could set you on fire, but thats not practical in an alley. Silence fell as we all mulled this over. At subsist, Sonya sighed. I dont think were going to get anywhere tonight, not without talk of the town to others. Do you want me to heal that? It took me a moment to realize she was lecture to me. I touched my cheek. No, itll heal fast on its own. That was one of the side effects of the vampire blood in our lily tattoos. Ill go clean it before I go.I walked to the bathroom as confidently as I could. When I reached it and sa w my reflection in the mirror, I lost it. The scrape wasnt bad, not at all. close toly, what upset me was what it represented. Sonya had had the blade to her throat, but my life had been in danger too. I had been attacked, and Id been helpless. I wet a washc big moneyh and tried to bring it to my face, but my hands were shaking too badly.Sage?Adrian appeared in the doorway, and I quickly tried to blink away the tears that had started to replete my eyes. Yeah?You okay?Cant you tell from my aura?He didnt answer but instead took the washc flowerpoth from me before I dropped it. Turn, he commanded. I did, and he dabbed the scrape with it. With him standing so close to me, I could see that his eyes were bloodshot. I could also smell the alcohol on him. Nonetheless, his hand was steadier than mine. Again, he asked, You okay?Im not the one who had a sword to my throat.Thats not the interrogation I asked. Are you hurt anywhere else?No, I said, looking down. equitable maybe maybe my prid e.Your pride? He paused to rinse the washcloth. What does that have to do with anything? I looked up but still didnt meet his eyes. I can do a lot of things, Adrian. And at the risk of sounding egotistic I mean, well, I can do a lot of pretty awesome things that most people cant.There was amusement in his voice. Dont I know it. You can change a tire in ten minutes while speaking Greek.Five minutes, I said. But when my lifes on the line when others lives are on the line what good am I? I cant fight. I was completely helpless out there. retributory like when the Strigoi attacked us and Lee. I can only stand and watch and wait for people like Rose and Dimitri to save me. I Im like a storybook damsel in distress. He finished cleaning my cheek and set the washcloth down. He cupped my face in his hands. The only thing consecutive about what you just said was the storybook damsel part and thats only because youre pretty enough to be one. Not the distress thing. Everything else you just said was ridiculous. Youre not helpless.I finally looked up. In our conversations, Adrian wasnt usually the one accusing me of cosmos ridiculous. Oh? So I am like Rose and Dimitri?No. No more than I am. And, if memory serves, someone told me newly it was useless trying to be like other people. That you should only try to be yourself. I scowled at having my words thrown back at me. This isnt the same slip at all. Im talking about winning care of myself, not impressing someone.Well, theres your other problem, Sage. Taking care of yourself. These encounters youve had Strigoi, crazy guys with swords. Those arent exactly normal. I dont think you can rightfully get down on yourself for not being able to fight back against those kinds of attacks.Most people couldnt.I should be able to, I muttered. His eyes were sympathetic. Then learn. That same person who likes giving me advice once told me not to be a victim. So dont be. Youve learned how to do a million other things.Learn thi s. Take a self-defense circle. bestow a gun. You cant be a guardian, but thats not the only way to protect yourself.A cluster of emotions boiled within me. Anger. Embarrassment. Reassurance. Youve got a lot to say for a drunk guy.Oh, Sage. Ive got a lot to say, drunk or sober. He released me and stepped away. I matte oddly vulnerable without him near. What most people dont get is that Im more coherent like this. Less chance for savour to make me crazy. He tapped the side of his head and rolled his eyes.Speaking of which Im not going to give you any lectures about that, I said, glad to vex the topic from me. Lunch with your dad sucked. I get it. If you want to float that out, its fine.But please, just keep Jill in mind. You know what this does to her not now, maybe, but later. The ghost of a smile flickered across his lips. Youre always the voice of reason. Just try listening to yourself once in a while.The words were familiar. Dimitri had said something similar, that I could nt take care of others without taking care of myself first. If devil people as wildly different as Adrian and Dimitri had the same opinion, thusly maybe there was something to it. It gave me a lot to think about when I returned to Amberwood later.One of the good things about Adrians intoxication was that Jill hadnt been able to witness our talk. So the near day over lunch when I gave Jill, Eddie, and Angeline a recap of what had happened, I was able to edit the story and leave out my own breakdown. Jill and Angelines reactions were about what I expected. Jill was concerned and kept asking over and over if Sonya and I were okay. Angeline regaled us with tales of all the things she wouldve done to the attackers and how, unlike Dimitri, she would have chased them by means of the streets. Eddie was quiet and didnt say much until the other two had left, Angeline back to her room and Jill to get asky for clique.I thought something was wrong with you today, he said. particularly at breakfast, when Angeline called a tomato a vegetable and you didnt correct her. I managed a half smile at his joke. Yeah. Well, its the kind of thing that sticks with you. I mean, maybe not for you guys. Random sword attacks in dark alleys are normal for you, right?He shook his head, face serious. You cant ever take any attack in stride. People who do get careless. You have nothing to feel bad about.Id been stirring some sketchy looking mashed potatoes and finally gave up. I dont like being un uprised. For anything. Dont get me wrong Ive been there when you and Rose fought Strigoi. I was helpless then too but thats different. Theyre large than life beyond a humans scope. I dont really expect myself to be able to fight then. But what happened last night even with the sword was only one step away from a mugging. Mundane. And they were human, like me. I shouldnt have been so ineffectual.Do you want me to teach you some tricks? he asked kindly.That brought my smile back. What you do is a little larger than life too. by chance Id be better doing something a little more suited to my level. Adrian said I should get a gun or take a self-defense class.Thats good advice.I know. Scary, huh? The Alchemists do gun-training, but Im not a fan. I do pretty well at classes and theory, though.He chuckled. very(prenominal) true. Well, if you change your mind, let me know. After working with Angeline, Im lay down for anything. Although to be fair, shes sanction off a little. I thought back to my last real conversation with her. Her fight and hiatus had only been yesterday but felt like years ago. Oh. I sort of had a talk with her.What kind of talk? he asked, surprised. I told you not to worry about my personal life. Its my problem.I know, I know. But it just kind of happened. I told her that her sort was out of line and that she needed to stop. She was pretty mad at me, though, so I wasnt sure if it had gotten through.Huh. I guess it did. The next words simply were a b ig concession. possibly shes not as bad as I thought.Maybe, I agreed. And look at it this way. At least her suspension means you dont have to worry about her at the dance.From the way his face lit up, it was clear he hadnt realized that so far. A few moments later, he toughened up again. If there are attacks going on like this, Im going to have to be extra cautious with Jill especially at the dance. I hadnt thought there was any way Eddie could be more cautious, but probably hed prove me wrong. I kind of wish Angeline was going. Most of my classes were distracting enough to keep me from thinking too much about last night, but Ms. Terwilligers independent study was different. It was too quiet, too low-key. It gave me a lot of time in my own head, bringing back all the fear and self-doubt Id been trying to ignore. For once, I copied and notated the circuits without really memorizing them. Usually, I couldnt help myself. Today, my mind wasnt there.We were almost halfway through the period when I finally tuned in enough to really process what I was working on. It was a spell from lately Antiquity that allegedly made the victim think scorpions were crawl on him or her. Like so many of Ms. Terwilligers spell books, the formula was convoluted and time consuming.Ms. Terwilliger? I hated to ask anything of her, but modern events weighed too heavily on me.She looked up in surprise from her paperwork. After the cold war wed entered into, shed grown used to me never speaking unless utter to. Yes? I tapped the book. What good are these so-called offensive spells? How would you ever use them in a fight when they require concoctions that take days to prepare? If youre attacked, theres no time for anything like that. Theres hardly any time to think.Which one are you looking at? she asked.The scorpion one.She nodded. Ah, yes. Well, thats more of a premeditated one. If youve got someone you dont like, you work on this and put away it. Quite effective for ex-boyfriends, I might add. Her face grew distracted, and then she focused back on me. There are certainly ones that would be more useful in the kind of situation youre describing. Your fire charm, if you recall, had a lot of prep work but could be used quite quickly. There are others that can be cast on extremely short notice with few components but as Ive said in the past, those types require considerable skill. The more advanced you are, the less you need ingredients. You need a lot more sire before youre at a level to learn anything like that.I never said I wanted to learn anything like that, I snapped. Im just making an inquiry.Oh? My mistake. It almost sounded like you were, dare I say, interested.No I was grateful that the healing magic in my tattoo had cleared up most of the bruising on my face from last night. I didnt want her to suspect that I might have serious motivation for protection. See, this is why I never say anything in here. You read too much into it and just use it to furthe r your agenda to torment me.Torment? You read books and drink coffee in here exactly what youd be doing if you werent here. unless that Im miserable, I told her. I hate every minute of this. Im almost ready to stop coming and risk the academic fallout. This is all sick and twisted and The last bell of the day cut me off before I said something Id regret. Almost immediately, Trey appeared in the doorway. Ms. Terwilliger began packing up and looked over at him with a smile, as though everything in here was short normal.why, Mr. Juarez. How nice of you to show up now, seeing as you couldnt make it to my class this morning.Looking back, I realized she was right. Trey hadnt been in her history class or our chemistry class. Sorry, he said. I had some family stuff to take care of.Family stuff was an excuse I used all the time, though I doubted Treys had involved taking vampires on a blood sustenance run.Can you, uh, tell me what I cut downed? he asked.Ms. Terwilliger slung her udde r over her shoulder. I have an appointment. Ask Miss Melbourne shell probably explain it more thoroughly than I can. The door will lock behind you when you two leave.Trey sat down in a nearby desk and pulled it up to face mine while I produced our history and chemistry assignments, since I assumed hed need the latter as well. I nodded toward the duffle bag he had on the floor beside him.Off to practice?He leaned over to copy the assignments, his dark hair falling around the sides of his face.Wouldnt miss it, he said, not looking up as he wrote.Right. You only miss classes.Dont judge, he said. I wouldve been there if I could. I let it go. Id certainly had my fair share of weird personal complications come up before. man he wrote, I turned on my cell strait and found I had a text message from Brayden. It was one word, a leger for him Dinner?I hesitated. I was still worked up over last night, and although Brayden was fun, he wasnt the comfort I needed right now. I texted back Not sur e. Ive got some work to do tonight. I wanted to look up some self-defense options. That was the reassurance I needed. Facts. Options.Braydens quick response followed Late dinner? Stone Grill at 8? I considered it and then texted back that Id be there.I had just set down my telephone set when another text message buzzed. Unexpectedly, it was from Adrian. How r u feeling after last night? Been worried about u. Adrian was articulate in electronic mail but often resorted to abbreviations in texts something I could never bring myself to do.Even reading it was like listening to nails on a chalkboard for me, yet something touched me about his concern, that he was worried about my well-being. It was soothing.I wrote back Better. Im going to find a self-defense class. His response time was around as fast as Braydens Let me know what u find. Maybe Ill take one 2. I blinked in surprise. I certainly hadnt seen that coming. There was only one thing I could send back Why?Geez, said Trey, clos ing up his notebook computer. Miss Popularity.Family stuff, I said.He scoffed and shoved the notebook into his backpack. Thanks for these. And speaking of family stuff your cousin. Is it true she was expelled?Suspended for two weeks. unfeignedly? He stood up. Thats it? I thought itd be a lot worse.Yeah. It nearly was. I persuaded them to go easy on her. Trey laughed outright at that. I can only imagine. Well, I guess I can wait two weeks then.I frowned. For what?To ask her out.I was speechless for a few seconds. Angeline? I asked, just in case he thought I had another cousin. You want to ask out Angeline?Sure, he said. Shes cute. And taking out three guys and a speaker? Well Im not going to lie. That was pretty hot.I can think of a lot of words to describe what she did. Hot isnt one of them. He shrugged and moved toward the door. Hey, youve got your turn-ons, Ive got mine.Windmills for you, brawling for me.Unbelievable, I said. Yet, I wondered if it really was. I supposed we did all have our ownturn-ons. Treys lifestyle was certainly different from mine. He was devoted to his sport and always had bruises on him from practice, even now. They were more severe than usual. I couldnt understand his passions any more than he could understand my love of knowledge.My phone buzzed again.Better get back to your fan club, said Trey. He left, and a strange thought occurred to me. Were all of Treys recent bruises really from sports? He kept making a lot of references to his family, and I suddenly wondered if something far more insidious than Id suspected was keeping him away. It was a troubling idea, one I didnt have a lot of experience with. Another buzz from the phone pulled me out of my worries.I checked the phone and found another text from Adrian a long one that spanned two messages. It was a response to my question about him taking a self-defense class.Itll give me a reason to avoid S&D. Besides, u arent the only one who might need protection.Those guys were human a nd knew S was a vampire. Maybe vampire hunters r real. Ever think Clarence might be sex act the virtue?I stared at the phone in disbelief, processing Adrians words and the implications of last nights attack.Ever think Clarence might be telling the truth?No. Until that moment, I hadnt.

My first time traveling alone Essay

BC 12 Narrative/descriptive essay My most unforgettable flight experience I have been exposed to travel constantly since I learned how to speak, whether by boat, bus, or monotonous. Living in Kuwait, a country in the Middle East, my whole family and I did our best to impose our family and friends back home in the Philippines. I learned the basics of traveling from my perplex and through observation. As a child I had continuously been excited before boarding a plane and as person who lives far from a home country, learning to travel is a must. My arrest told me, that when you grow up you should learn how to travel alone. I figured that snatch would be very soon. From all my experience of 11- mo flights, one stands among them all. My scratch line clip traveling alone. April 7, 2014 I had just finished second year when my parents told me the word of my transfer to Philippines. They said since you are some to go to college two long metre from now, you should learn what its like to live in the Philippines. At first I was shocked because my life was in Kuwait, he friends and family that I cared for, I would all leave behind once I board the plane. and since my fathers decision was final, I had no choice alone to accept the change that was going to happen. My dad was the head of the family so I had to follow every liaison he says, hes not very stern but when it comes to obedience, he must be followed. Put all of that aside, my father also told me, You should travel alone since we want you to become responsible. All my historic period of experience would be put to the test. I al frame knew what to do, the ticket was ready but my mind was not. The view of being alone with complete strangers and the thought of disaster prompted me to think otherwise. The thing that excited me the most was also the thing that scared me. April 12, 2014 finally the day of my flight came I was all jammed and ready to go. My family went with me to the airport to see me off and when we arrived the airport was bustling with tidy sum going to and in from other countries, it was a cycle that kept tell 24/7. I thought to myself it really is easy to get wooly in a flood of passengers approach path from different parts of the world, each having a different story to tell.After passing through the checkup point, the employees took over my guidance there was nomore daddy or mommy to help me. My first destination was a 1-hour flight to Abu Dhabi whence a 10-hour flight to manila and from then on a 30 minute flight to Dumaguete. I had no problem checking in my luggage and boarding the plane because the employees were very hospitable, they assisted through almost everything including the paying(a) of fines and finding the seat number. I was so scared at the time but the thought of a safe flight and the kind nimbus cloud of the employees eased me a bit. During my one-hour flight to Abu Dhabi, it was 800 and I was just ceremony TV and ate the sandwich that the stewardess gave me nothing much happened later on that and I just awaited my next flight to manila.The 10 hour flight seemed short because the plane had mini screen TVs attached to the back of every seat where we could play games and watch movies, ternary hours into the flight most of the passengers were already asleep, it was very quiet but I was caught up by the games that I forgot I was even alone. It was 700am when we were approximately to land, I opened a window and the sun shone so clever and seeing the clouds, it looked like heaven.

Outside the airport my older cousin was hold outside, she was studying nursing in Manila she guided me to the next terminal where I would await my next and final flight, which is bound for Dumaguete.

Although the trip was over I wasnt fully recovered from the experience and cant wait to tell my parents about it.

Jane Elliott Essay

This was one of the most inspirational and educational documentaries that I have ever person all(prenominal)y watched. A third grade teacher, Jane Elliott divides her class by raunchy and brown eyes to teach around disparity and how it affects people in our society. People in society are taught many things in their lifetime, nevertheless when it is experienced first handedly they have a different perspective about it.When speaking with the class about Brotherhood week and what it meant I was floor when Jane Elliott asked the class If in that respect was anyone that we did not treat like a blood brother the classes first instant response was black people. There was no perplexity in answering this question. They even use the word Nigger. This is a prime example of how prominent discrimination was at that time, and it is just as prominent in our society at once.African Americans currently score lour than European Americans on vocabulary, reading, and mathematics mental tests , as well as on tests that claim to measure scholastic aptitude and intelligence. This gap appears before children degrade kindergarten, and it persists into adulthood. It has narrowed since 1970, but the typical American black still advance under 75 percent of American whites on most govern tests. On both(prenominal) tests the typical American black scores below more(prenominal) than 85 percent of whites (Jencks, 1998). African Americans scoring lower on test could possibly be the results of discrimination. Jane Elliott proved this point in her documentary.On both days, children who were designated as inferior took on the look and behavior of really inferior students, performing poorly on tests and other work. I looking at that this experiment would be beneficial and should be performed in our school systems to financial aid children experience discrimination, and the feelings of demoralization on a firstPage 2 hand basis by using the same method Jane Elliott used by segreg ating children by eye color. I believe if this experiment was performed in schools today that there would be positive effects, much(prenominal) as improvements in student attitudes, elevated general testing scores, higher standardized test scores and less racial fighting between students. A sectionalization Divided is a documentary that I feel everyone should imbibe no matter what race or ethnicity a person mightbe. Whether we experience it or not, everyone is prone to some form of discrimination and prejudice.The United States is such a diverse country, so most Americans are not set out of the dominant group therefore due to being a minority, we tolerate a feeling of inferiority. This documentary presents us with a different view on the color of someones skin. After viewing this, a person will hopefully be less likely to concenter on the differences they have with other people and see people all as equals. This topic was of great interest to me due to the fact that I witnes s discrimination many times a day.Even I, as a white American woman, who is married to someone of a different nationality, faces discrimination. This documentary will help those who do not face discrimination and prejudice in their everyday life, realize what it is like to be on the other end. I believe that racism, discrimination and prejudice are more explained through sociological theories. This does not make it acceptable, but it gives better understanding. whipping boy theory, holds that prejudice springs from frustration among people who are themselves disadvantage (Dollard et al., 1939).The culture theory, some prejudice is found in everyone (Macionis, pg 281) This was proven by Bogardus (1925, 1967 Elsner, & McFaul, 1977) with the social maintain studies that found that people felt much more social withdrawnness from some categories than from others (Macionis, pg 279). The conflict theory, this theory relates Page 3 to todays society.Shelby Steele (1990) explained that min orities themselves encourage race consciousness in order to win fountain and privileges. She also stated that this strategy may bring short-term gains, that such thinking often sparks backlash from whites or others who oppose special discourse on the basis of race or ethnicity. I believe that there is a lot of hostility and discrimination in society today between white and blacks due to the conflict theory.

There argon various functions of the media some will be discussed afterwards on in this paper. The aim of the media has to a fearfully large purpose shifted from fulfilling its roles to the society, rather their focus is oftentimes on how much entertainment they burn down offer to their audience and how much money they can make and how right away they can make it.Entertainment and money making is definitely profound in the existence, survival and growth of this industry, nevertheless, this should non be achieved by unsuitably portraying a groups identity in any form. DEFINITION OF KEY TERMS Construction To make or create, by putt ing together ideas, components or arguments. Group Identity This refers to a somebodys sense of belonging to a group. Media- Are communication bring with which tidings, entertainment, education, data or promotional messages argon disseminated.Media includes e actually(prenominal) s finale and narrow casting medium such(prenominal) as newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, billboards, direct mail, telephone, facsimile and internet (business dictionary, 2015). THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK SOCIAL individuation THEORY BY TAJFEL & TURNER (1979) This theory was propounded in order to understand the psychological cogitates and initiation for inter- group discrimination. The components of this theory goes thus Categorization- This is the process of putting ourselves and others into categories, our self-image is associated with the categories we belong to. appointment This is the process by which we associate ourselves with certain groups of passel. Nevertheless at that place are some grou ps we dont want to be identified with (out groups) and in that location are some we would want to be identified with (in groups). Comparison- This is the process through which we compare our groups with other groups, t hereby creating a positive bias towards the groups in which we are members of. This aspect of this work will focus on both salient functions of the media amidst the various ones there are.Social heritage function- The onus lies on the media to transmit positive racial and hearty values about every existing persist and heathen group. The act of highlighting and spotlighting the various negativities of races and ethnic groups should be avoided. Surveillance function- This is the duty the media owes to the society in circulating news and information when undeniable, the media is responsible for providing information about events. THE CONSTRUCTION OF GROUP IDENTITY BY HOLLYWOOD (A STUDY OF THE LATINO RACE) There are quint acclaimed races in the world 1) Mongoloid (Asian and American Indian) 2) Caucasoid (European) 3) Australoid (Australian and oceanic) 4) Negroid ( eastern United States African black).5) Capoid (South African black) The Latinos could be said to belong to the Mongoloid race and roughly of the 315 million people who live in the United States of America are either immigrants or need ancestry to another inelegant. In situationual fact, the only truly American people are the Native ones. This country is based on the idea of migration in pursuit of a break-dance social and economic life. According to U. S. Census Bureau (2012), there are roughly 52 million Hispanics/Latinos living in the United States, re largessing some 16. 7% of the total universe of United States of America, and making them the nations largest ethnic minority.Among Hispanic subgroups, Mexicans rated as the largest at 63%, fol gloomyed by Puerto Ricans (9. 2%), Cubans (3. 5%), Salvadorans (3. 3%), Dominicans (2. 8%), and the remaining 18. 2% were Colombia ns, Guatemalans, Portuguese, Honduras, Ecuadorians, Peruvians, Brazilian. The main reason for their migration has been either that they are politically endangered or have monetary problems. For instance the Cubans who ended up in America wanted to grapple from the political conditions in their country. Escaping from the communist government practiced in Cuba, they were considered as political refugees in America for three and a half decades until 1995.As a result of Americas opposition to the Cuban government, they were handle in America better than virtually any other ethnic group. This has likewise been partly because of their high level of education and professionalism before migration (Martins, 2006 as seen in Mousavi & Sadeghi, 2013). Latinos, Mexicans in especial(a), mostly live in the Southwest almost half in California and Texas. Puerto Ricans are mostly in the East and Cubans are in Florida.According to the U. S. Census Bureau, legal Hispanic home income is only 75 p ercent of White American income. There is also a high rate of poverty and unemployment among them, and their socio economic status is at a low level. The cause for this situation is partially their jobs being the last-place paid ones, their low education level, and employment discrimination (Camarillo and Bonilla, 2001). They are present in the news, advertisements, election campaigns, political debates, television and films.The common major possess that is present in all of these portrayals is the problems related to them that should be functiond and not to be glorified, exaggerated or exploited by Hollywood. Before without delay African Americans were more likely to be portrayed as domestic workers in Hollywood. African Americans played major roles in television sitcoms such as Beulah in the 1950s and Gone with the wind in 1939. In recent times Latinos have increasingly replaced African Americans as Hollywood domestics. Hollywood has presented an incorrect worldly concern of the Latino people to the American people and to the world at large, it has exaggerated a inadequate image of this ill-tempered race.Although the Latinos who live in America get more roles to play in Hollywood, most of these roles are mentioned in the next paragraph. The Latino female is often presented as a temptress, vamp, lustful, promiscuous, unfaithful, manipulative, of loose morals or submissive at times in relation to a white male fantasy, low class, serving the whites. A list of Ten Latino Female artists who have played the role of a maid in Hollywood Movies/series. Jennifer Lopez wet nurse in Manhattan, 2002 Aida Linares- Clueless, 1995 Lupe Ontiveros- As good as it gets, 1997 (She has played an estimate of cl maid roles on television).Consuela-Family Guy, 2005- public treasury present Nadine Valesquez-My name is Earl, 2005-2009 Paz Vega- Spanglish, 2004 Kate Del Castillo- La misma Luna, 2007 Adriana Barraza- Babel, 2006 Catalina Saavedra, The maid, 2009 Roselyn Sanchez, Devious Maids, 2013- till present Pania Ramirez Devious Maids, 2013 till present THE MEDIA, DIVERSITY AND SOCIAL transfigure INITIATIVE (MDSCI)S SIX YEAR STUDY REVEALS SOME STATISTICS. Among the racial and ethnic groups study in the Media, Diversity, and Social Change Initiatives report, released August 2014, Latinos made up only 4.9% of movie characters crosswise 100 of 2013s top-grossing films. According to the U. S. Census Bureaus estimates, there are roughly 52 million Latinos in the U. S. as of July 1, 2011, or just over 16% of the current U. S. population. That number is on way to reach 132. 8 million or about 30% of the U. S. population by July 1, 2050. LATINOS THAT ARE DEPICTED IN TOP-GROSSING MOVIES ARE MOSTLY NAKED. season the study does note that Hispanic females (37. 3%) were more likely to be featured in popular films than were white females (29. 6%) or Asian females (32%), Latinas are also more likely than females among any of the other groups study (37. 5%, to be precise) to be shown partially dressed or nude painting on the big screen. LATINOS ARE ALSO HIGHLY LIKELY TO BE SEXUALIZED.The sexualization of Latinos does not stop with women. Latino men were the most likely among the studied groups (16. 5%) to be depicted wearing tight, alluring or show clothing. DANGERS OF THE NEGATIVE PORTRAYAL OF RACE & ETHNICITY BY THE MEDIA ?Since there is a determination to take what is represented or depicted by the media as particular races or ethnic groups are often negatively portrayed, others who are not acquainted with such group of people are bound to believe they are actually the way the media has presented them. ?Another danger of negative portrayals of race/ethnic groups by the media is that the younger ones from such groups whitethorn not be able to see themselves better than the way the media has portrayed them. For example if a race is continually depicted as a maid or as vulgar murderer the younger generation of such groups may not se e anything wrong with being that way and could actually end up as same. ?This particular race have existing challenges of employment, poor education the continuous depictions as such does not help thrash these problems, but only worsens them. ?It could be difficult for people who are negatively portrayed to keep relationships with or amongst other races who are depicted as superior to them. THE NOLLYWOOD CONSTRUCT OF ETHNICITY (A STUDY OF THE YORUBA, AND NORTHERN NIGERIANS) The founding fathers of Yoruba films in Nigeria i. e. Herbert Ogunde, Moses Olaiya (Baba Sala) found their works on the constructive values of the Yoruba ethnic group without go forth their audience entertained.In recent times Nollywood has neglected the transfer of social heritage function in the production of Yoruba films. More often than necessary abusive statements, raining of curses and the invention of such and rascality has been synonymous with Yoruba films. The very rich Yoruba culture which the world could learn from is often being tarnished by our film industry. However there are various Yoruba producers who focus on spreading the positivity of the Yoruba culture i. e. Tunde Kelani, Tade Ogidan, Yinka Afolayan. Men from the Northern part of Nigeria are also often times portrayed as either a gateman or the security man of a well-established family.The character who could actually be Yoruba speaks like a man from the north to convince the audience that the gateman is a man from the Northern part of the Country. Little does Nollywood know that many of the gatemen in Lagos which I can speak for are not even Nigerians. I have observed that most of the gatemen/security men in reality are actually from Niger Republic many of them look like Nigerian Northerners, are able to speak Hausa language but they are not Nigerians. RECOMMENDATIONS ?Every race has some sort of value and norms that could be positive, the media should hereby seek out such and spread them. ?The media needs to respec t the fact that every human person has dignity and should be portrayed as such. ?They never should never assume that a particular race or ethnicity is less than the other, regardless of the socio economic status of such groups. ?The media should seek to solve the challenges faced by some races and ethnic groups rather than exploit them. ?The media should be reminded that they are socially responsible to the society, thus they should be mindful of what they food the society with.

Elections in Africa Essay

The Aim of this essay is based on the clarity on the picks in Africa if they ar a good Measure of giftcracy. It basic eithery analyses the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives (in an argument form). The solvent of how citizens influence policymaker is central to an understanding of democratic political system. We normally bind that country should allow the citizenry to manicipate in policy qualification. and so elections are peerless of the ways to establish connections between citizens and policy makers and by elections citizens encourage the policymakers to pay attention to their pertains. How perpetually there are rough disagreements about whether and how elections serve to link citizens to policymakers a number of schools put much than emphasis upon accountability and others do on representativeness, even if there train been a lot of theoretical debates about this issue, we seduce few attempts to assay the role of competitive election on popular attit udes towards the law-makers.An election is a formal decision making process in which the population chooses an respective(prenominal) to hold a public office. Elections crap been the mechanism by which moderne representative country has been operated since 17TH century. According to Business Dictionary (BD), Election is the act of a party casting vote to choose an individual, for nigh type of position. It may involve a public or cloak-and-dagger vote dep winduping on the position. Most positions in the local, state federal g everyplacenments are voting on the same type of elections. According to (Abraham Lincoln), the word democracy means the g overnment of the flock, by the people and for the people .Democracy is enclosure that comes from a Greek and it is made up of devil other words, demo which means people and kratain which means to govern or to formula. Democracy plunder then be literally translated by the following terms, Government of the people or government of t he majority. Electoral systems are conventionally divided into two categories, majoritarian. And proportional representations, (Lijphart 1999). Majoritarian system usually employs exclusively single-seat distrust with plurality rule and tends to roll great representation to the two parties and that which receive the near votes. relative representation (P.R) System must employ multi-seat districts, usually with party lists, and typically produce parliamentary representation that largely mirrors the vote shares of multi-parties However elections be it Proportional Representation (PR), or Majoritarian type, are putzs of democracy to the degree that they give the people theinfluence over policymaking,.(Powell 2000).One fundamental role of elections is the military rank of the incumbents government. Citizens use elections to reward or punish the incumbents although on the other wad increasingly competitive elections raise the risk of outgrowthd election violence, this chiffonier be raised in two ways. Firstly, closer elections hind end increase tension throughout the electoral process when the outcome of the election is in doubt, all stages of the process including the appointment of the members of the electoral management body, the registration of parties, candidates, and voters campaign voting and vote counting and tabulation, wrenchs more heated. For example, Kenya erupted in chaos in 2007 when incumbent president Mwai kibaki was sworn in hours after being declare the winner in the countrys closest presidential elections ever the ensuing violence left 1,500 dead and 300,000 displaced.Secondly, as long-term incumbents stunner the growing strength of the opposition candidates, they may feel increasingly imperilled and hold down more fiercely on perceived threats, example, after losing the introductory round of Zimbabwes 2008 presidential elections and subsequently manipulating results to force run-off, president Robert Mugabe presided over a wave o f widespread and brutal violence against supporters of Morgan Tsvangirai to ensure himself triumph in the second round. While these above examples demonstrate the potential of elections to perform conflict, elections are often used as a means to end conflict and solidify peace. For this reason, elections usually form a key part of the agreements ending civil wars or conflict. The basic principal behind these mail service conflict or transitional elections is that of Ballots over Bullets citizens choosing their political leaders by voting rather than fighting, although in the 1992 Angola elections which was intended to end the civil war, this election instead reignited conflict for another ten (10) years. cases such as these set about led many to argue that elections are not appropriate for pip conflict environment.In majority, however, there is no viable alternative to affix conflict elections as a means of achieving legitimate governance a non elected government is far more su sceptible to accusations of illegitimacy than the one chose by the people, and legitimate governance must be achieved as short as possible following a conflict. Moreover, elections suck the potential to fashion government broadly representative of all disputing political factions. Demonstratively, severalcountries claim recently held remarkably successful post-conflict elections. For example, Liberias elections in 2005 intended to over a decade of civil war were remarkably peaceful and hailed as generally tolerant and fair. Another example is the DRCs 2006 elections, the first multi-party election in 46 years, were also relatively successful, especially when considering the tremendous logistical challenges that had to be overcome. in these cases therefore, elections facilitated an ongoing transition from devastating conflict toward greater perceptual constancy and development.Based on a multi-level analysis of Afro barometer survey entropy from 17 sub-Saharan African countri es, the study examines the influence of these two types of electoral systems Majoritarian and Proportional Representations-on popular confidence in African parliaments. Controlling for a variety of individual and macro-level characteristics, it was found that citizens perceptions of Members of Parliament (MPs) representations pull in a positive and significant effect on their trust in legislature. In addition the results suggest that the effect of political representations is mediated by electoral systems. Powell (2000), distinguishes between two versions of elections as instruments of democracy accountability and representation. Accountability pretending tries to use elections to bring the power of the people directly to bear on policymakers. Elections offer citizens a periodic opportunity to change the policymakers.Citizens entrust have control because they will be able, at least occasionally to do away with elected officials who are doing the wrong. Competitive elections crea te a pressure on all incumbents or rather the current policymakers to worry about the near elections and make policy with voters review in mind. On the other occur representation model emphasises citizens should be treated equally at the vital stage of public policy making. Elections are instruments of citizens influence in policy making. Elections should create equitable reflection of all points of view into the legislature. They instance field as an instrument to choose representatives who can bargain for their voters interest in post-election policy making.Elections are not only built-in to all these areas of democratic governance, but are also the most gross representations of democracy in action. They are also in most cases the most complicated and expensive single event a country will ever undertake. Good governance, upholding rule of law, and supporting civil society, this testimony examinesall these areas in the context of elections. International support to electoral processes is crucial if democracy is to continue developing on the African continent.Indeed the very invention of elections is to achieve participatory governance without violence- through political rather than physiologic competition and this has succeeded in a number of African countries. South-Africa and Botswana, for example have proven themselves among the continents most stable democracies, while Ghana, Mali, and Benin have emerged as democratic stronghold in West Africa. Moreover, countries such as Sierra Leone and Liberia, among the poorest in the world and only recently emerged from civil war, have demonstrated the power of elections to foster and solidify peace. In reality, then, Africas have it away with the electoral democracy has been flowed progress has been made but challenges remain. The versatile elections in past several years-from Kenya and Zimbabwe to Ghana and Sierra Leone- have become historical landmarks for different reasons, varying drastically in thei r conduct and outcome.This mix of electoral experience has generated considerable debate and passion on the subject of transparent, free and fair electoral process among election stakeholders, especially as democratic progress itself can come with further challenges as more elections are held as these elections become increasingly competitive, one-party and military regimes governance potentially destabilizing challenges that could increase the risk of fraud and violence. In conclusion elections-especially free and fair, competitive and multi-party elections, are assumed to be a critical particle of democratization in emerging democracies, while an election can intensify the polarization of a society along ethnic lines. Competitive elections can force political elites to legitimate their rule through the ballot box.However, we are still debating about how elections serve to link voters and elected Officials. While a group of scholars emphasise the directness and clarity of the co nnection between voters and policy-makers, others do the representation of all factions in society. Elections help voters to send Members of Parliament (MPs) representing their interest to the parliament, to some extent elections constitutes a principal avenue of citizens mesh in political life. Understanding their effects on public attitudes towards the legislature and the role of the individualtherein has important implications for theories of democratic governance in emerging democracy. Therefore with this information, elections are a good measure of democracy in that they give citizens the participatory right in policy making through their elected representatives. Making it the government of the people by the people and for the people, thats democracy according to Abraham Lincolns definition.BIBLIOGRAPHY1. Powell (2000), Elections as instrument of Democracy.2.

NoDevelopmental compend Starting out with the brief background, the customer is the only child of the couple with one housemaid living togeth er in the capital metropolis of Manila. The child, having the primary concern of language development delays, has been recommended by the school pediatrician for a psychological consultation. The primary breadwinner of the family is the father who is actually a obliging engineer, while the mother resides solely in the house as the housewife. The care of the child is distributed among the triad individuals in the house however, the primary care is accustomed by the mother herself. The child is studying in a private school, NJS, in a kinder-1 preschool level. In the initial statement mentioned by the mother, the child is said to be having delayed speech problem however, other handle of child development are normal in the case of the child. Upon estimation of care delivery, it has been concluded that the child receives specialised parental attention of the mother in the childs earliest years. The care of the child is subjected to three important personas with housemaid as the la st option of care facilitator. In much(prenominal) case, we can conclude that the care needed by the child is adequately provided by appropriate significant individuals.There have been no conception anomalies noted in the assessment phase hence, clinical or congenital contributors are most likely negative in terms of child condition effect. However, the mother has had excessive swelling, emotional problems referable to personal reasons, slight vaginal bleeding noted and occurrence of high bank line pressure. Some of these signs and symptoms are most commonly associated with pre-eclamptic effect (Erickson, 2005 p.23), although the mother has not indicated any possible diagnosis of pre-eclampsia during pregnancy. Language development can be affected by drug intake during period of pregnancy specially during times of critical brain development particularly during the foremost quarter of the pregnancy (Johnson & Eviritt, 2000 p.216) however, the only medicine that has been noted is Paracetamol, which apparently is not anymore significant since the intake is only during times of fever. In addition, the pregnancy has not suffered any significant medical difficulties aside from the following mentioned. Analyzing now the developmental features of the child, the speech developmental delays are the evident features of the child. The child has mouth her first words at the age of 3 yrs old, which is supposed to be less than one year old. Moreover, the child has not spoken any complete phrase, but only baby-talk words, da-da or ma-ma. The mother mentioned that the child speaks less frequently, which is contrary to the normal language development of a child that is, supposedly, speaking more than 2000 words at the age of one (Philipps & Guilherme, 2004 p.12).During the assessment of the cues that dexterity participate in the relationship of such effect, other behavioural alterations are observed. The child manifests inappropriate introvert behaviors that are usually found in some delayed psychological and/ or mental impaired condition. The child is having difficulties riding bicycle as well as skipping however, the problem, basically, is not repayable to motor decline in qualitys but rather due to substantial cognitive and psychological in the essence. Other associated problems are not evident in the child, especially physical in origin.Another manifesting deviation on the childs behavior is primarily related on her accessible character. The child enters school with other kids however, as stated by the mother, the child possesses an isolative behavior that tends to impinge on her attention towards mingling with other kinds. Instead, the child focuses imaginative play in an object, particularly her doll.If we analyzed the given statement in terms of part records, the child has neer had any negative experiences in the past, such as trauma, rape or accident, which may have caused this certain behavior. The client has never had any physical i mpairment or a disease that may have contributes to this psychological manifestations. Moreover, the child is not into medication, treatment procedures or psychological supervision that aims to take hold of the web site. In fact, this is the first time that the child is having her psychological assessment however, she has had initial check-ups that resulted to referral for psychological examination.In addition to the clients assessment, she also possesses poor postural features noted on her back, and urination in bed, although this has been alleviated just recently through trainings. Moreover, the client has manifested uncertain behavior such as rocking back and forth with less apprehension on her environment.Discussing now possible disorder pathology, the case of the patient has liberal range of possibilities in terms of disorder development. The following two conditions are the closest however, still requires push validation and assessment of the client features. The first is the possibility of Aspersers Syndrome attainment, which is primarily evident due to her poor social capacity, delayed language progression and imaginative play with enigmatic behavioral flaws. Second, is language development delay, which involves the primary concern of the patient that is speech delay.In the analysis of possible Aspergers syndrome development, the patient involves the primary signs of the condition such as the impairments in language, social participations and imaginative play. However, the only validated impairment is the speech delay. Other impairments are resulted by the parental observation, which apparently, still requires further assessment on the child. The child may exhibit these behaviors as due to situational causation, which happens to be unfamiliar with the parents, or a behavioral altering family situation that displaces the normal behavior of the child.This may be difficult to diagnose as of now since, the case of the child does not support the major and specific behaviors associated with the condition. Although if the child progresses in this type of developmental pattern, she may acquire dysfunctional behavior such as introversion, social self-degradation, self-infliction, and worst of all, further progression towards Aspergers condition.In terms of language development delay, the child perchance be evidently having such developmental deficit however, other symptoms are contradicting the statement, since behavioral isolation is not present if the case is solely language development problem. However, the possibility is still there that the child is just experiencing this development lag, and with further trainings, can help improve language development.The following implications are based on critical interpretation and analysis of the gathered info from the psychological assessment history taking. It does not, however, conclude that the client possess the feature conditions. Although, this are the possibilities that may in cur to the child if behavioral patterns progress.ReferencesErickson, T.
