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

    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…

    Communication can be described as an act where one person gives or receives information from or to another person. This information can be needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge or affective states. Communication may be verbal such like talking, shouting, nodding a head or non verbal which stands for example for facial expressions. Those may show more than words, when looking at someone’s face it can be easily seen how the person feels like, if he’s happy and smiling or sad and crying. Communication may be used in order to maintain relationships, to change attitudes, people communicate to express their emotions like joy, fear and satisfaction. Communicating act in order to be a good communication needs to be understood by both sender and receiver of the actual communication act. Communication is so important because without good communication we would not be able to express our needs, believes or choices like this very simple one’’ what would I like for breakfast?’’ or ‘’what would I like to wear today?’’ to more important like ‘’I feel scared and want to get out of this situation’’. Every individual has a right to control their own choices, right to dignity and diversity. When communication is poor and individual is not able to say what he wants, needs or when he is not being listened he may get upset or even may get into depression. In a care settings there are varies ways of how to meet an individual’s communication needs. This can be gained by observation, asking question to professionals involved in care of an individual, asking friends or family, although first and most important way of gaining information is care plan which includes all most important information about an individual like language needs, wishes, preferences, any possible health issues.

    Stereotypes Of African Americans

    Many of us have never been and maybe never will go to Africa, so to form an opinion on a place we have never been can be considered a little absurd. Hollywood has a way of gaining the attention of their viewers and forming conceptions, that are mostly untrue. According to Wainaina, “Among your characters you must always include The Starving African, who wanders the refugee camp nearly naked, and waits for benevolence of the West. Her children have flies on their eyelids and pot bellies, and her breast are flat and empty. She must look utterly helpless (93).” The United States of America, along with every other country has homeless people living on the streets everyday. In Columbia, South Carolina, we have homeless people eating and sleeping in a park right across from the governor’s house. I applaud African men and women who seek help for their family. It shows courage to survive another day. But lets not forget, that this does not mean the entire country Africa is starving nor does it mean it for Columbia, South…

    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…
