"By turning the world upside-down‚ the black death helped pave way for the new" (Giblin 44). There were many names for the Black Death including The Great Pestilence‚ The Great Plague‚ The Great Mortality‚ The Death‚ and The Black Plague. Genoan ships are thought to have brought the disease from Kaffa (Dunn 26). The bacteria first infected the black rats and transmitted the infection to humans by fleabites (Bagley 100).

Could a Black Hole Destroy Earth? Black holes do not wander around the universe‚ randomly swallowing worlds. They follow the laws of gravity just like other objects in space. The orbit of a black hole would have to be very close to the solar system to affect Earth‚ which is not likely. If a black hole with the same mass as the sun were to replace the sun‚ Earth would not fall in. The black hole with the same mass as the sun would keep the same gravity as the sun. The planets would still orbit

Since the late 1960’s‚ the “Crips” have been synonymous with gang violence and crime. Despite being started as an organization utilized to defend itself and its’ neighborhood from other violent gangs‚ the “Crips” have evolved into a fierce organization that draws its’ standing from murder‚ drugs and a bountiful number of active members. It is a prime example of how an organization could allegedly start as something positive for a community and eventually devolve into one of the most feared criminal

There are many reasons that gangs form themselves from the readings and the research that I have done I have drawn my own conclusion as to why the individuals involved decide to form an alliance together. Most of these kids come from broken homes‚ and sometimes they do not even have a home; due to dysfunctional contact that are prevalent in most of today’s children and teenage relationships.

In chapter one of The Souls of Black Folk‚ written by W.E.B. Du Bois‚ the point is the Negro is born with a veil that separates him from the world of White people. This world only allows the Negro to believe that he is less than or unequal to White people because he can only see himself through the revelation of the White world‚ which believes they are better than him. The veil shuts the Negro out from the White world. In the first chapter of The Souls of Black Folk‚ W.E.B. Du Bois discusses the

When the word “gang” is mentioned the first thought that comes to mind is a person wearing baggy clothes‚ a bandana across the forehead and tattoos all over the body. That is a stereotype. Obviously back when gangs were first initiated in the 1800’s they did not dress like that. Not all gangs are associated with colors‚ signs or names. A gang is defined as a group of criminals or a number of people forming a group (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary). In fact the word “gang” actually originated from

term/definition of gang‚ according to Etymology dictionary. As I pose the question‚ what exactly causes gang violence to occur in the context that we use it today? Possible things I propose‚ family demographics‚ peer groups‚ and personal attributions. These risk factors may promote to someone joining a gang and committing to violence.

1. INTRODUCTION: While reading this book the first thing that came to my mind is how brave Sudhir Venkatesh is to even have enough nerve to walk into the projects in Chicago (Robert Taylor) to ask questions about being black and poor. I could only think of how there was no way I would have been able to do that. The thought of being forced like a hostage to stay there‚ not even being able to go to the bathroom‚ not knowing what your fate was going to be‚ is just unimaginable. Then when Venkatesh
