Racism In The 1930's

Racism in the 1930’s

Racism during the 1930s remained a very real threat to the safety and opportunities of African-Americans in the United States. Decades of repressive policies in the country (particularly the Southern states) began to come under pressure by the New Deal programs of President Franklin Roosevelt. Though these New Deal programs did not end such repressive policies, they laid the groundwork for the eventual desegregation actions of the government during the 1950s. At this time, major organized groups for threatening African-Americans began to decline, but held enough sway in sentiment and power to defeat early attempts at civil rights. Segregation was still the standard practice of areas all over the country - separate schools, separate restaurants and even separate drinking fountains were commonplace, and legal measures existed to enforce these practices. Northern cities, especially heavy industrial areas receiving an influx of African-American population like New York City, increasingly used these practices as the Great Depression ravaged the country.Of greater note was racism in Europe during the 1930s, which was to lead in the next decade to the horrific events of the Holocaust. During the time Adolf Hitler gained power in Germany, the Jewish people were viewed with hatred and suspicion for the perceived stereotype of Jewish control of world finances. Coupled with the total annihilation of German economic power following the first World War and the worldwide crippling of economies courtesy of the Great Depression, Hitler secured enough public support and compliance to begin extreme policies of repression and control for the Jewish populations of the country. Restrictions on who the Jewish people might marry, abolishing of civil rights and other economic limiters soon followed throughout the decade. During the 1930s, widespread exterminations had not yet begun (the major concentration camps were not built until the early 1940s), but early forms of concentration camps with high mortality rates were in use.

Difference between free range and organic chicken.

Difference between free range and organic chicken.

Organic and free-range certifications cover different aspects of raising chickens for food. The U.S. Department of Agriculture operates the National Organic Program to develop standards for organic agricultural production and implement them nationally. The Food Safety and Inspection Service evaluate and approve other types of poultry labelling, including the "free-range" label.

Organic Certification

Organic chicken must be fed only certified organic feed, which is grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides, from the time they are two days old. They may not receive hormones or antibiotics at any time, though they may receive vaccinations to prevent common diseases. Though they may be kept inside temporarily for specific purposes like medical treatment or to protect the quality of soil or water, they must be given reasonable access to the outdoors.

Free-Range Certification

In order to label chicken as free-range, producers must demonstrate through affidavits or testimonials that their poultry have free, continuous access to the outdoors for more than half of their lives. The free-range label is slightly controversial, since some producers insist that the label applies even if the birds do not actually go outdoors very much or at all - they merely need the option to go outside. Other producers think it should only apply if the birds make use of the outdoor area.

100 word ghost story

Jackson stumbled into the bathroom and flicked on the light. He jumped with a start. Samantha, his dead wife, was staring at him in the mirror.

“What are you doing here?” he asked.

“I’ve decided to haunt you.”

“Whatever you say.” Jackson went back to bed.

Samantha started following Jackson wherever he went. People often caught him talking to himself, and decided he was crazy.

It was not long before Jackson’s boss fired him. “You’re behavior lately has been unacceptable.”

“But my dead wife is haunting me.”

“Why didn’t you say so? You get used to it after a while.”

Opinion: I think the writer used tension very well.

John had a day off from school; any ordinary 12 year old boy would see his friends or have a game of football in the park. That’s what john intended to do however there wasn’t anyone at home to supervise therefore he had to go to work with his dad.

Waking up at 6am made johns mood even worse. Once he had finally arrived at his dad’s work place after a 2 hour train ride, he was convinced the train was infested with lizards because he could see lizard urine on the floor. Now he has arrived at his dads work, it was a tall, black building. It seemed like it was hundreds of years old. The front door was battered and rotten.

When he entered through the rotten door there was a front desk with a woman talking on a phone, she had a computer in front of her and she seemed stressed. As we got to his room the was a large desk with a computer hooked up to a printed and lots of files, it looked like a very normal office,

As John’s dad started his work, he started to get very bored so he decided to go on a walk around the horrible old building to find anything interesting to do. First John went to the canteen for something to do, after a gruelling decision he eventually bought pasta and a juice carton.

After that he went down to the dark underground floor. As the lift slowly clanked to a jolting stop, he couldn’t see anything so he was feeling the wall trying to find a light switch. Finally he found a switch, once the light had come on he saw that there was smashed up desks and lots of broken furniture with pumpkins dotted about. Very spooky.  He heard a scream so ran to the nearest fire exit however it was locked. He started to panic… ahhhhhhh! Another scream. So john ran back to the lift luckily it was working so he returned to his dad’s desk.

He was still typing. John knew he didn’t want to go to the bottom floor again or the canteen and everything else was just offices similar to his dads. So he decided to stay in his dads’ office and try to entertain himself there, which only lasted for 15 minutes. John then decided to wander around the office trying to find something more interesting to do after a while of searching he found another boy in the same situation as him. So he decided to walk over and introduce himself, “Hi I’m John” “Hello, I am Rory” the other boy replied

“Nice to meet you, how are you?” said John

“Fine thanks, how are you?” Rory answered

Then the two boys were playing together for the rest of the time and the day flied. Before they left each other, Rory shyly asked John, “Do you like the black eyed peas?”

Excitedly, John replied “Yes! Yes I do! They are my favourite!”

“Oh good, are you interested in seeing them tonight I have a spare back stage pass?” Rory said

“Oh I would love to! Thank you so much!” John said

Mountaineering Accidents

One of the worst tragedies in the history of mountain climbing has taken the lives of at least 40 members of an international team in the remote Pamir Mountains, in the Soviet Union near the Chinese border.

On 17 July, 1990, a team of 140 international climbers were attempting the Lenin Peak, in the remote Pamir Mountains of the Soviet Union. The team had made camp at 6000 meters, in an area known as the Frying Pan, a well-known ledge used as a place of rest for teams before beginning their summit. While in camp an avalanche commenced down the face of the mountain and swept 40 climbers from five nations which caused their deaths.

The victims included 27 Soviet climbers, principally a 23 Leningrad alpine team led by Leonid Troshchinenko, one of the nation’s leading climbers. The other climbers were from Czechoslovakia, Israel, Switzerland and Spain.

£1.74

With £1.74,I would buy the cheapest food I could find, from home and bargain. Also I would hydrate myself by buying water from another cheap shop. One I have been fed and hydrated I would try to find somewhere to sleep. Perhaps a door step or rent a small room for the night.
