Nicki Minj Angola
Why would Nicki Minaj perform at a Christmas concert in Angola, a country known for human-rights abuses by dictator Dos Santos? The rapper is outspoken about injustices in the United States, nevertheless, she accepted two million dollars to go to Angola, losing a chance to show her many fans that she will take a stand against iron-fisted dictators who live in luxury while their citizens barely get by. Both George Ayittey, head of Free Africa Foundation and Thor Halvorssen, head of the Human Rights Foundation denounced Nicki Minaj's blatantly accepting of a hefty fee, while ignoring who was paying her the money. No one is asking the rapper to solve Angola's problems, however, she missed an opportunity to draw attention to Africa's most obscure

    SCI/241 Understand Your Fats and Fibers

    Bad fats are saturated and trans fats. Saturated fats are mostly in meats, dairy products and tropical oils. Saturated fat raises both bad cholesterol and good cholesterol, while trans-fat only raises bad cholesterol. This makes trans fats technically worse than saturated fats. The better fats would be monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. Monounsaturated will lower your cholesterol, and unlike polyunsaturated they do not lower your good cholesterol. Your best fats would be the omega-3s (fish oil). This fat has shown to protect people from sudden cardiac death (Schardt,2002).…

    Michelle Gingas

    In the beginning of the semester, I got the opportunity to meet Michelle Gingas from Fox Sports Network and TampaBayLightning.com. I had the chance to hear her story of how she became a sports broadcaster. In the process of starting her career, Gingas studied journalism at Loyola University and quickly found her niche in sports broadcasting. Gingas knew at a very young age that she wanted to do something that allowed her to interact with people on a daily basis as well as try and leave an impact on someone or make a positive difference. Gingas also loved how sports brought people together and loved the passion they brought out of her, so she tries to communicate that same passion she felt with viewers when she is covering a sport.…

    Olaudah Equiano

    Olaudah Equiano’s story made much more of an impact on me than any of the other stories. Equiano plays on people’s sentiments and morals by using rhetorical devices: ethos and pathos. His story appeals to me because I cannot conceive what it would be like to be persecuted and enslaved just because of the color of one’s skin, a trait that they cannot help. Because of the well-executed practice of rhetorical devices, I can imagine the trip of the Middle Passage, aboard the ship myself.…

    Olaudah Equiano

    Olaudah Equiano and Thomas Paine dispute the belief that Britain is more civilized than the countries it has colonized. Equiano is able to subtly assert his argument by disguising himself as “an unlettered African” who is a “most obedient, And devoted humble Servant” to Britain, but actually views himself and his culture as equivalently or exceedingly superior to that of the Britain society (Equiano v). In his autobiography, The Interesting Life of Olaudah Equiano (1789), he strategically links between Africa and Western cultures showing how Africans are more civilized and superior to Britons through his recollections of Africa and his current observations of Britain. He is able to manipulate his message by identifying…

    Book Report Good To Great

    The ideas that are given in this book will stimulated my mind into becoming a leader and perhaps enabled me to bring my company ahead of the competitors. It was amazing to see how Collins spent nearly five years in comparing the mediocre companies with great companies. One most notable difference is on how the level 5 leader responds to each situation that the company faces. This book will helped me to understand that if a company becomes big, its not because of the skilled salesperson nor huge investment in advertising, but it is simply because the great CEO that bring the company into such success, was proactive in doing so, and was not afraid to face the brutal facts.…

    Gun Control vs. Gun Rights

    There is a famous quote, which states: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." This quote is technically true. But if there are no guns, it will be a whole lot more difficult for people to kill people. Sure people could use different weapons such as knives and golf clubs to kill people. But the victim will have a significant better chance of defending him or herself from a weapon other than firearms.…

    Nicki Minaj

    When we begin our day starting with a cup of coffee, we tend to ask our selves questions that leave us pondering. Sometimes we are left with fragmentary answers and our minds simply cannot focus. Ultimately with reality all around, things can change us in many ways. There was a point in my life where i was struggling as a person to develop confidence. I could not seem to gain that level of self confidence that a normal person should have. Turning myself down was a normal thing to me, as though i have been put down in my life. I simply could not find that one inspiration that would set my fears on fire. Until came Nicki Minaj into the music industry. I was reading her article one night, not even half-way into the story i was amazed by her. Self-confidence was what she struggled with as a teenagaer. Suddenly before stepping into the world of music, Nicki had changed herself. She did not care what other people thought of her or what they said about her. She kept her self-esteem as high as she could and she always reached for goals that challenged her. Of even greater appeal her appearence is a mix of everything. Nicki claims herself as Nicki. She does not look at herself as being somebody else but herself. As reaching towards the end of the article i was astonished when she said that critics will keep talking, but that does not stop you from being who you are just because other people do not accept it. After reading the article i took a seccond to myself to realize what i was doing wrong. Which was nt accepting myself. I felt a sudden reaction within myself and i knew what i was doing before was tearing me apart as a human. Without delay i changed things around in my life including myself. Now i am leading a life where i am unstoppable in my actions. I can careless about what people say and think about me. Feeling a boost of confidence in…
