The historical Scottsboro Trial and the fictional trial of Tom Robinson in the book To Kill a Mockingbird have striking similarities that may or may not be coincidence. Both trials took place in Alabama during the same era of relentless prejudice and bias‚ which is a major factor in each of these cases. In both cases‚ the accusers were white women and the persecutors were black men; therefore the black men were immediately considered liars and “wrongdoers”‚ unlike the word of the white women‚ which

Such a Long Journey by Rohinton Mistry Plot Summary Such a Long Journey examines the life of a handful of Parsi Indians in the turbulent early 1970’s. When Britain withdraws from the subcontinent in 1948‚ two states are created. Muslims form one state‚ Pakistan. Pakistan’s two parts are widely separated by its massive southern neighbor‚ India. In India‚ Hindus predominate‚ although society is officially secular. Parsis are a tiny‚ secretive religious minority. The inhabitants of Khodadad

convergent evolution and parallel evolution and provide an example for each type of evolution. Divergent evolution occurs when change from a common ancestral species increases as time passes‚ leading to a speciation event; that is‚ the evolution of two new species. Convergent evolution on the other hand differs from divergent evolution because it is the development of similar features separately in unrelated groups of organisms though natural selection. Finally Parallel evolution is a look at species

The Journey of Justice It only takes one person to come forward and fight racism even though it has been around for many generations. One person can make all the difference. Story by Kayleigh Harris Human nature has never told us to kill the innocent that cannot defend themselves. Maybe we were designed to make peace on earth and live in perfect harmony. Certainly everyone is entitled to basic human rights‚ to justice? “Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for

Growing up we live through thousands of moments that shape and define us. How does one choose just one moment that determines adulthood when many little moments make up this journey. Going to a restaurant and finally having your feet touch the floor. A monumental moment for me as child when I felt I was finally becoming an adult. Sitting in the front seat of my moms car for the first time. Finally getting those braces off after three terrible years. Making a phone call and sending a real email. These

Ohm’s law & resistors in parallel & in series Lab 4 Class: PHY 1434-E475 Due date: March‚ 13 20144 Group Names: Hisham Sageer Objectives: Our object is to confirm Ohm’s law by analyzing the dependence of the electrical current as a function of voltage and as a function of resistance. Also‚ we studied the current flow and voltage in series and parallel. Finally‚ the lab determined the equivalence resistance of series and parallel combination of resistors and

Potential Difference in Electrical Circuit Discussion: We conducted this experiment to test out the relationship of potential differences and currents in series and parallel circuits. We were to indicate the special properties that the potential differences and currents had with both types of circuits. In short‚ we were to test out Kirchhoff’s laws. Before starting the lab‚ we had to pick three different resistors and we were to calculate the values for the total resistances‚ potential
