Deconstructing the Corrido\u27s Validity: The Transformation of the Corrido Into the Narcocorrido

The classic corrido is a part of Mexican tradition and is woven into Mexico\u27s rich cultural history. Listeners have endeared corridos for generations simply for the storytelling. They characterize small Mexican communities and their iconic heroes and represent the hope and courage that they must have in the face of injustice, oppression or danger. The protagonist in the corrido, commonly possessing the characteristics of Robin Hood, is a constant theme. This hero character also meets with an untimely death, usually the result of betrayal. The heightening of the element of conflict and violent death has transformed the classic corrido into the narcocorrido. It is often compared to American rap and the hip-hop music genre, glorifying violence, corruption and illegal activities. As with the classic corrido, the narcocorrido also has its icons, although some become icons through self-proclamation by commissioning the ballads. This study explores the content of the corrido and its role as the narrative of Mexican culture. Through in-depth video recordings of interviews in the field, the researcher gathers information on stories, folklore and personal experiences associated with the corrido

CEO & Employee Pay Discrepancy: How the Government\u27s Policies Have Encouraged the Gap

This paper examines the role of the U.S. Government in the CEO versus worker pay gap, both in contributing to its creation and the ability to reverse it. To better understand this issue, this paper includes a survey of current U.S. and foreign CEO compensation practices, a survey of theories proposed to explain the divergence between U.S. and foreign CEO compensation, a review of the social and business impact of excessive CEO compensation, and identifies socioeconomic theories regarding the excessive CEO pay trend. This is followed by a review of the history of attempted solutions along with newly enacted and proposed future solutions to further inhibit the growth of excessive CEO pay

The Friedel-Crafts Reaction with Long-Chained Alkyl Bromides (Abstract)

It has been reported that 1-bromooctadecane reacts with benzene 1md aluminum chloride to give a 50 per cent yield of 1-phenyloctadecane. [Gilman and Turck, J. A. Chem. Soc., 61, 478 (1939) J. We have found that 1-bromohexadeeane, 1-bromotetradecane and 1-bromododecane behave similarly. The case of 1-bromododecane was studied in more detail. Evidence was found that, in addition to 1-phenyldodecane, isomeric dodecylbenzenes were formed. Incidental to this work the six isomeric 2-naphthalene-sulfono-pn-dodecylanilides (B-C10H7.SO2.NH.C6H4.C12H25) were prepared for use in a study of the validity of the mixed melting point determinations with structurally similar long-chained compounds. Fractionation of the\u27 products of the reaction of 1-bromohexane, benzene and aluminum chloride (carried out at 0°) showed that 1-phenylhexane, 2-phenylhexanc and 3-phenylhexane were obtained. These hydrocarbons were characterized as their monacetamino and diacetamino derivatives [Ipatieff and Schmerling, ibid, 59, 1056 (1937) and as the sulfonamides. They were identified by comparison with synthetic specimens

Comparison of Attitudes of Mothers and Fathers Toward Nursery School Education

Attitudes of middle class mothers and fathers toward nursery school education were measured and compared. The subjects were parents of children who attended the Utah State University nursery school. A scale was developed to test parental attitudes. Attitudes toward nursery school education were definitely favorable. Comparison of attitudes expressed by mothers with those expressed by fathers revealed significant differences between the two groups, when the total number of responses of all scale items were considered together. The total scale included 48 items comprising three subscales, which tested the following parental attitudes toward nursery school education: attitudes concerning a child\u27s independence or dependence as it relates to nursery school attendance, attitudes pertaining to the value that the nursery school has for a child, and attitudes toward the care and guidance of a child while at nursery school . Comparisons of attitudes of mothers and fathers in each of these three areas disclosed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in attitudes expressed . Mean scores of mothers and fathers were 77.4 and 76.2, respectively. The scale used to measure attitudes was found t o discriminate significantly between the high and low scoring subjects . However, an item analysis of the scale revealed few individual items which could discriminate significantly between the high and low scoring subjects

Nurturing the Seeds of Food Justice: Unearthing the Impact of Institutionalized Racism on Access to Healthy Food in Urban African-American Communities.

Comprehensive change to our food systems must include a combination of community-based solutions and the elimination of racism from all structural levels. An anti-racist analysis of hunger is necessary to contextualize the power dynamics and structures responsible for food inequality. In recent decades, globalization and exponential population growth have pushed the boundaries of economic, social, and ecological sustainability, threatening global food security. Despite the fact that it is fundamental to human survival, adequate access to food is often viewed as a privilege, rather than a basic human right. These practices work to maintain a food system crisis that disproportionally impacts people of color. Because of this, community gardens can be integral to survival in areas like the South Bronx in New York City. The crisis in the South Bronx is representative of the hunger and food access limitations affecting communities of color throughout the country. Policy discussions about food insecurity often ignore the histories of institutionalized racism that have increased the amount of hunger and poverty, and instead tend to place the blame on the struggling communities. Our nation’s history of discriminatory zoning and other racist government policies has created segregation, inequality in food access, and urban decay. Discriminatory mortgage lending practiced by the Federal Housing Administration from 1930 to 1950, and overtly racist policies promulgated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development deepen the poverty divide. The food justice movement has the capacity to reorient conversations surrounding food insecurity, poverty, and the like toward addressing deep seeded inequities and transforming society as a whole
