This document provides a summary of a lecture on progress and poverty in the African American community from the 1970s to 1990s. It discusses the evidence of racial inequities despite civil rights legislation and the myth of integration. It then focuses on James Baldwin's analysis of the unsolved Atlanta Child Murders case in the late 1970s/early 1980s as devastating proof that integration did not bring about real progress for African Americans and failed to protect vulnerable black youth.

Civil rights
The Civil Rights Movement started in the 1950s as both black and white Americans took action against racial inequalities. Several events contributed to growing unrest, including African Americans serving in World War II but still facing discrimination at home, the murder of Emmett Till in 1955, and changes to laws regarding racial segregation. Key early victories for the movement included the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling declaring racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott protesting segregation on public buses, and the 1957 desegregation crisis in Little Rock, Arkansas.

It discusses the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850 including the Fugitive Slave Act, the Kansas-Nebraska Act establishing popular sovereignty, the Dred Scott decision, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 which further divided the North and South and ultimately led to the Civil War.
HUM16: Second wave feminism
The document summarizes key aspects and events of second-wave feminism from the 1960s to 1990s. It discusses the rise of major organizations like NOW and issues they campaigned for such as birth control, equal pay, and ending discrimination. Influential texts and authors during this period are also outlined, such as Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, Judy Brady's satirical "I Want a Wife," and Paul Theroux's piece "Being a Man" which pushed back on traditional gender roles. The artwork of Judy Chicago is also summarized, particularly her large-scale feminist piece The Dinner Party.
Women's Suffrage
The American Woman Suffrage Movement spanned from 1848 to 1920 and sought to expand voting rights to women. It began at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 where women and men demanded equality and the right for women to vote. Over the following decades, suffragists advocated state-by-state for women's suffrage and pushed for a constitutional amendment, facing opposition from those who felt women were too emotional or fragile. By the early 1900s, more women were joining the cause. After suffragists engaged in more militant tactics, the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920, guaranteeing all American citizens the right to vote regardless of sex.
Jeopardy Great Dep New Deal
FDR's New Deal accomplished three main things:
1. It restored confidence to the American public through programs like the FDIC, Social Security, and the AAA which protected bank deposits, provided retirement benefits, and helped farmers.
2. It provided emergency relief programs to help the unemployed through agencies like the FERA, WPA, and CCC which gave money directly to states, and jobs to millions of workers in public works projects and the conservation of natural resources.
3. It aimed to reform the financial system and regulate Wall Street through new agencies like the SEC to oversee the stock market and prevent another crash.
Progressive Era

It discusses the roots of progressivism in urban reform efforts and its growth at local, state, and national political levels. Three progressive US presidents from this era, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson, are mentioned. Women's suffrage and issues of gender equality and working women are covered as part of women and progressivism. The document also summarizes blacks and progressivism, noting race relations, Jim Crow laws, and civil rights organizations formed in this period. Finally, it briefly outlines immigration trends and groups that immigrated to the US during the Progressive Era.
english presentation - Minutemen
The document discusses both early and modern minutemen. Early minutemen were militia members in the American colonies who helped defend against Indian attacks and played important roles in the battles of Lexington and Concord during the Revolutionary War. Modern minutemen formed in 2005 with the goal of monitoring the US-Mexico border for illegal immigration, which generated both support and criticism from various groups. There is debate around whether modern minutemen respect or betray the legacy of the early minutemen and their role in American history and culture.
Civil war agendas
The document summarizes a history and government class lecture on the causes of the American Civil War. It discusses several key political developments that contributed to the sectional divide between the North and South, including the breakdown of the Second Party System as the Democratic and Whig parties fractured over the issue of slavery and its expansion westward. The lecture also examines the political impacts of the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision in fueling tensions between free and slave states.

The Women’s Suffrage Movement
The women's suffrage movement fought for over 70 years for women's right to vote. The movement began at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 where the Declaration of Rights and Sentiments called for equal rights and participation for women. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, suffragists held large protests and parades demanding voting rights.

Women's suffrage
The cartoonist opposes woman suffrage. The cartoon portrays a frustrated husband coming home to find his wife has been out campaigning for suffrage instead of having dinner ready. His cuffs say "liquor interests" implying the liquor industry is fueling opposition. The cartoon suggests allowing women to vote would threaten liquor sales by empowering the temperance movement. By portraying suffrage as taking women away from their domestic duties and implying it benefits the liquor industry, the cartoon aims to turn public opinion against the suffrage movement.

After the September 11th terrorist attacks, there were reports of hate crimes targeting Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians in the United States. These included death threats to a Palestinian American student, rocks and eggs being thrown at an Islamic center, and bottles being thrown at a Sikh taxi driver. In response, President Bush visited an Islamic center to condemn the acts of violence and reaffirm that Islam teaches peace. However, some Americans still supported increased surveillance of Arab and Muslim Americans in the period after 9/11.
American in Crisis
America faced a severe economic crisis in the 1930s known as the Great Depression. The stock market crash of 1929 triggered widespread unemployment, poverty, and other social problems. President Hoover initially relied on voluntary measures, but President Roosevelt later implemented the New Deal program starting in 1933 to provide relief through jobs programs and reform the financial system, with mixed economic and political results. The decade was also marked by severe dust storms known as the Dirty Thirties.
Representations
On August 26, 1970, Betty Friedan led tens of thousands of women in a march down Fifth Avenue in New York City to mark the 50th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. The event, called the Women's Strike for Equality, protested unequal pay and called on women to withhold their labor for a day. Organizers also asked housewives to refuse domestic work. Gloria Steinem and other speakers addressed the crowd about continuing divisions among women and the need to make the feminist movement more inclusive of women of color.
Black power movement
This document discusses the struggle for freedom and determination by oppressed groups in America. It references speeches and videos from leaders of the Black Panther movement like Huey P. Newton and Malcolm X who advocated for black power and rights.

Women Who Have Run for President
National Women's History Museum is pleased to present a new mini exhibit featuring a few of the women who have run for president.
Aspiring to be president is symbolic of a country that believes in equality of opportunity and achievement. And that is why women began running for president long before women were allowed to vote. Many women have run since the first woman declared herself in 1884. Each has paved the way for the next, irrespective of party or platform. These are a few. Though they may have been the first to announce, to campaign, to raise money, or to win a primary, they will not be the last.
25th November
The document summarizes information about International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women which is marked annually on November 25th. It was established by the UN in 1999 to commemorate the 1960 assassination of the Mirabal sisters in the Dominican Republic for their political activism. The document also defines the most common forms of violence women face, including psychological, physical and sexual violence. It notes that while all women are vulnerable, some groups like those of certain races, ethnicities, cultures or socioeconomic backgrounds may face specific forms of violence. The causes of male violence are complex but can be linked to behaviors learned from a young age about masculinity. Suggested actions to help address the issue are also provided.
Feminisim
This document discusses the history and key ideas of different waves of feminism. It describes the first wave of feminism in the late 19th century as focused on campaigns for women's right to vote and equality. The second wave in the 1960s saw women gain equal access to education and careers as well as easier divorce laws. The third wave deals with continuing issues that oppress women such as gender violence. Radical feminism emerged in the 1960s claiming that male power and privilege are the basis of social relations and that patriarchy controls women through motherhood and sexuality.
Egypt
Women in ancient Egypt were typically expected to manage household duties and bear children while deferring major decisions to their husbands. A few notable female rulers like Cleopatra, Hatshepsut, and Nefertiti wielded significant political power as exceptions. More recently, women played a key role in Egypt's 2011 revolution but have faced struggles with the current military government, including virginity tests and violence against female protesters.
Dec. 11Notes (Intro to the 1920s)
The 1920s in America saw increasing isolationism, fear of change, and suspicion of others. Warren Harding was elected on a platform of "return to normalcy".

Age-Associated Financial Vulnerability: An Emerging Public Health Issue
This article discusses the concept of age-associated financial vulnerability (AAFV) in older adults and its implications. It notes that even cognitively intact older adults can experience functional changes that increase financial vulnerability. The article cites research finding that 4.7% of older adults reported financial exploitation. It argues that AAFV poses substantial risks to older adults' financial security and that more research is needed on risk factors and potential screening and policy solutions to address this emerging problem.
Child Labour
This document discusses child labor, its causes, consequences, and laws around prohibiting it. It states that child labor deprives children of their childhood and harms their development. The key causes of child labor are identified as poverty, lack of schools, urbanization, orphans, willingness to exploit children, and unemployment of elders. The consequences for children include physical injuries, long-term health problems, exhaustion, malnutrition, and growth deficiencies. Laws have been established in India since 1987 to prohibit child labor and regulate work conditions for children. The conclusion calls for individuals and the government to work together to control child labor.

Preliminary results showed that extroverted teens were slightly more likely to take risks, supporting the hypothesis. However, the study had limitations like a small sample size and low stakes bets. Improving these factors could provide stronger evidence for the relationship between personality and risk-taking.
The aging brain_-_courtney_cargill
The brain has greater plasticity when young, allowing children to more easily learn new skills. As we age, the brain becomes less plastic but more mature. Adolescents have underdeveloped regions controlling emotions. The aging brain sees shrinkage of the hippocampus and amygdala along with other changes, impacting functions like sleep, movement, and decision-making. Nutritional options like berries and fatty acids may help prevent or reverse some effects of aging on cognition and motor skills.

It notes that during adolescence, cognitive abilities that allow for imagining abstract concepts and the future are developing, but emotional centers can overwhelm rational thinking. Intellectual abilities reach adult levels earlier than psychosocial maturity. Risky decision making in adolescence depends more on situational cues, emotions, and peer influence rather than deliberate, rational processing.
Risky business
PTSD, TBI, and MDD can all impact decision making and lead to risky behaviors. PTSD may cause aggression, numbness, and lack of care. TBI can impair decision making and emotional processing. MDD can cause feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness. Having multiple conditions makes resisting risky impulses even harder. To reduce risk, identify goals, strategies, and specific tactics like avoiding triggers and using healthy coping skills like journaling or relaxation. Learning about oneself helps recognize unsafe choices and change behaviors to stay safe.
Elder Investment Fraud & Financial Exploitation
The document summarizes the key points from a presentation on elder financial fraud given to healthcare professionals. It shows the results of polls given to audience members to gauge their knowledge and experiences with elder financial abuse. Many were unaware of their obligation to report suspected abuse. They learned that 1 in 5 elders have been victimized, and it can negatively impact their health. Common perpetrators were discussed. Case studies demonstrated what constitutes fraud. Resources for reporting and getting help for victims were provided. The presentation aimed to increase awareness and reporting of elder financial exploitation.
EChow - Senior Thesis Poster
This document summarizes a study that investigated how numeric ability affects older adults' performance in choosing a favorable Medicare prescription drug plan. The study found that while older adults performed worse on numeracy and cognitive tests compared to younger adults, they performed just as well or better than younger adults at choosing a drug plan when fewer options were provided. Limiting the number of plan options may help reduce the cognitive load for older adults and allow them to make optimal choices. The results suggest that despite age-related cognitive declines, older adults can still successfully complete decision-making tasks through unknown compensatory mechanisms.

Healthy Brain Aging
- Healthy brain aging is important due to the rising prevalence of age-related cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease.
- Brain aging is influenced by both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Engaging in heart-healthy habits, cognitive activities, and social interaction may help promote healthy brain aging.
- When discussing brain health with older patients, physicians should evaluate risk factors and encourage lifestyle changes like exercise, a healthy diet, cognitive stimulation, and social engagement.
How groups make risky decisions
The South East branch was delighted to welcome 'The Risk Doctor', David Hillson, to their latest branch event; this being the 8th Alan Webb memorial lecture. Branch members gathered at Rowfant House in Crawley for the presentation on Wednesday 9th July 2014.
There are many influences when groups make decisions, especially when the decision is perceived to be both risky and important. These influences can be summarised in the “triple strand” of conscious, subconscious and affective factors.
This presentation reports on recent research which has revealed the main drivers of group behaviour in these situations. Understanding and managing these drivers allows groups to make good decisions – find out how. An expanded emotional literacy framework is proposed to enable groups to make good decisions by understanding and managing the underlying influences on group risk attitude.
Insular Cortex (w. pics)
The insular cortex is located in the cerebral hemisphere. It is involved in bodily awareness, risky decision making, and taste processing. Studies have found that blocking enzymes that strengthen neuron connections can erase memories by targeting the insular cortex. Research also indicates that damage to the insular cortex can reduce addiction to cigarettes by disrupting addiction pathways. The insular cortex may be a promising target for developing anti-addiction medications.
Managing the business_risk_of_fraud
This document provides an agenda for a presentation on managing business risk of fraud using sampling and data mining. The presentation covers frameworks for fraud risk management and detection, analytical techniques including regression analysis, sampling methods, and data mining. Specific examples of fraud cases detected through data analysis are presented, showing how anomalous patterns and relationships in large transaction datasets can be revealed. Guidance documents on proactive fraud detection through continuous monitoring and data analysis are discussed.
Risk and Rationality: Decision Making in the Brain
The document summarizes research on decision-making and risk-taking from both economic and neuroscience perspectives. Key findings include:
- Prospect theory shows people are generally risk-averse for gains and risk-seeking for losses. Animal studies also found different risk preferences.
- EEG studies identified ERP components like FRN, P300, and N500 that reflect outcome evaluation and risk-taking. FRN was larger for losses while P300 amplitude varied with motivational factors.
- Context affects risk preferences - people took more risks in contexts with positive expected value compared to zero or negative expected value. FRN and P300 reflected these context effects.
Adolescent Development: A Setup for Addiction
Adolescent brain development involves significant changes in the prefrontal cortex and limbic system that can increase risk-taking behaviors. During adolescence, the prefrontal cortex, which regulates judgment and impulse control, is still developing while the limbic system, which governs emotion and reward-seeking, is fully developed. This can leave teens more prone to emotional behaviors and sensation-seeking. Delaying drug use onset can reduce the likelihood of addiction, as the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until the mid-20s. Engaging adolescents in treatment requires understanding their developmental stage and how substance use can arrest maturation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
