French needs to be translated from English to French ASAP
Indochine is the summon of the film. The film takes place in the 1930s. (when Vietnam was owned by France) The film is historical, and truly dramatic. thither are three maln people. There is a wo earthly concern named Eliane Devries. There is a vietnamese girl named Camille. There Is a young man named Jean-Baptise. Ellane adopted Camille when Camille was very young. The film has a lot of themes. In my purview the relationship with Elaine and Camille Is supposed to be symbolic of the relatlonshlp between France and French Indo-China.Also, at the core of this trading floor is the theme of social unity and oing things for the greater good. People who respect the film can see how one-on-ones working as a unit can alter the course of history. Not only Is there an boilers suit theme In the movie, but there are themes for each individual character. Madame Devries owns and operates a large rubber plantation In Indochina that employs legion(predicate) indentured laborers. Eliane is non married. Eliane raises Camille as her own daughter.She adopted Camille as a young child, after her parents were killed in a car crash. Eliane lives with her father. She sees herself as an Asian, innate(p) n her fathers estates, never having been to France, but the Vietnamese see her somewhat differently. Ellane considers Indo-chlna as much her home as It Is for the anonymous laborers who work on her plantation. She Is not cruel, but she is tough and treats the local workers wish second class citizens. In my opnion the character of Madame Ellane Devries has three main themes.First, I feel like her character symbolizes the French colonialists through out the film. she a reigning woman. she besides has power over tons of Vietnamese people. Her character is the most powerful one in the film. Second, I think that Eliane has a lot of weaknesses. She waterfall in love with the wrong man, Jean-Baptiste. He left the relationship because he was In love with her daughter. She as well a s has an addiction to opium. Often seeking comforter in somking a pipe. After doing research I learned the story behind her demeanure. he Is forsty and beautiful Ilke the statue of Marianne, the official symbol of the French Republic. This is also more proof in my theory of her representing

Back and so he committed a crime, he pushed a woman name Eleanor Eddowes out of her flatbed window because he judgment the women was the suit why his uncle made his mother cry so much. So, he made an end at his mothers sufferance. After to a greater extent than thirty five days he received a earn from an unknown person but, the letter was for Robert Knight, the reporter he handed the tommyrot to and asked to.To Pelican, that was a challenge he knew that knight wasnt going to be able ou to solve the mystery.

Fluke, or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings Chapter 17~18
CHAPTER SEVENTEENJonathan Livingston ReaperAmy wore an everyplacesized, tattered IM WITH STUPID night fit protrude and Local motion flip-flops. Her hair was completely flat on superstar font and splayed bring disclose into an improbable sunburst of spikes on the other, do it appear t assume she was raiseting hit in the location of the head by a tiny hurri stube, which she wasnt. She was, however, performing the longitudinal sustained yawn clay had ever seen.Ooo ahe-e, I aya oa a, she said in yawnspeak, a language non un comparable Hawaiian cognise for its famine of consonants. (You go ahead, Im okay, she was express.) She gestured for system to continue. carcass cued the tapeline and fiddled with the strait. A run drag in a field of blue passed by on the monitor.Theres soul discoverside, Captain.Does he ache my sandwich with him?Amy stopped yawning and scooted forward on the stool she was perched upon merchantman ashes. When the whale tail came mickl e, Clay stopped the tape and looked brook at her.Well?Play it again.He did. Can we blend in a feeling for direction? Amy asked. T get into ho victimisation has stereo microphones, the right way? What if we go along the speakers far apart can we furbish up a sense where its approach shot from?Clay shook his head. The mikes be right next to each other. You leave to separate them by at least a meter to get any spatial information. All I can tell you is that its in the water and its not particularly loud. In fact, if I hadnt been using the rebreather, Id neer engage gather upd it. Youre the audio person. What can you tell me? He ran it back and played it again.Its human speech.Clay looked at her as if to say, Uh-huh, I woke you up because I needed the obvious pointed out.And its phalanx. wherefore do you think its military?Now Amy gave Clay the same look that he had retributive end giving her. Captain?Oh, right, said Clay. Speaker in the water? Divers with submerged co mmunications? What do you think?Didnt sound the like it. Did it sound like it was coming from small speakers to you?Nope. Clay played it again. devise? he said.Sandwich?The Old Broad said that slightlyone called her claiming to be a whale and asked her to tell Nate to bring him a sandwich.Amy squeezed Clays shoulder. Hes gone, Clay. I know you dont believe what I cut happened, but it certainly wasnt nearly a sandwich conspiracy.Im not saying that, Amy. Damn it. Im not saying this had anything to do with Nates he was leaving to say drowning and stopped himself accident. besides it cleverness arrive to do with the science laboratoryoratory getting wrecked, the tapes getting stolen, and almostone trying to mess with the Old Broad. person is fucking with us, Amy, and it might be whoever is recorded on this tape.And in that locations no expression the camera could have pulled a call attention out of the air, both(prenominal)thing on the same frequency or something ? A wandering(a) phone or something? with a fractional-inch of powder-coated aluminum housing and a hundred feet of water? No, that signal came in through the mike. That Im sure of.Amy nodded and looked at the paused picture on the screen. So youre looking for two things soul military and someone who has an interest in Nates work.No one Clay stopped himself again, remembering what hed said to Nate when the lab had been wrecked. That no one assistd about their work. But obviously someone did. Tarwater?Amy shrugged. Hes military. Maybe. channel the tape out. Ill run a spectrograph on the audio in the morning, see if I can tell if its coming through some kind of amplifier. Ive got zero point left tonight Im beat.Thanks, Clay said. You get some rest, kiddo. Im passing play to hit it, too. Ill be heading atomic reactor to the harbor world-class thing. Kay.Oh, and hey, the kiddo thing, I didnt mean Amy threw her arms around him and kissed the top of his head. You big mook . Dont stupefy, well get through this. She turned and started out the door.Amy?She paused in the doorway. Yeah?Can I ask you a personal question, kinda?Shoot.The shirt whos stupid?She looked down at her shirt, consequently back at him and grinned. Always seems to apply, Clay. No thing where I am or who Im with, the smoke clears and the shirt is true. You gotta hang on to truth when you find it.I like truth, Clay said.Night, Clay.Night, kiddo.The next day the weather was blown out, with whitecaps frosting the entire channel across to Lanai and the coco palms whipping everywherehead like epileptic dust mops. Clay legion by the harbor in his truck, noting that the cabin cruiser that decrease Hylands base had been using was parked in its slip. Then he turned around and caught a flash of white out of the corner of his eye as he drove past the hundred-year-old Pioneer Inn Captain Tarwaters navy blue blue blue whites standing out against the green ship rope. He parked his t ruck by the giant banyan tree next door and humped it over to the restaurant.When Clay came up to the table, the hostess was unspoiled seating dip Hyland, Tarwater, and one of their grad students, a young blond woman with a racoon sunburn and straw-dry hair.Hey, slack, Clay said. You got a minute?Clay, how you doing? Hyland took off his sunglasses and stood to shingle hands. Please, join us.Clay looked at Tarwater, and the naval officer nodded. Sorry to hear about your partner, he said. Then he looked back down at his menu. The young woman sitting with them was watching the dynamic between the leash men as if she might write a paper on it.Just a second, Clay said. If I could talk to you outside.Now Tarwater glanced up and gave Cliff Hyland an almost imperceptible shake of the head.Sure, Clay, Cliff said, lets walk. He looked to the next-to-last researcher. When she places, coffee, Portuguese sausage, eggs over easy, whole wheat.The girl nodded. Hyland followed Clay out to the front of the hotel, which overlooked the harbor fueling station and the Carthaginian, a steel-hulled likeness of a whaling brig, now used as a floating museum. They stood side by side, watching the harbor, each with a foot propped on the seawall.Whats up, Clay?What be you guys working on, Cliff?You know I cant talk about that. I signed a nondisclosure thing.You got divers in the water, people with underwater coms?Dont be silly, Clay. Youve seen my crew. Except for Tarwater, theyre in force(p) kids. Whats this about? almostbodys fucking with us, Cliff. They sank my boat, tore up the office, took Nates papers and tapes. Theyre level off messing with one of our benefactors. Im not even sure they dont have something to do with Nates And you think its me? Hyland took his foot off the seawall and turned to Clay. Nate was my friend, too. Ive known you guys, what? Twenty-two, twenty-three years? You cant think Id do anything like that.Im not saying you personally. What are you and Ta rwater working on, Cliff? What would Nate know that would interfere with what youre doing?Hyland stared at his feet. Scratched his beard. I dont know.You dont know? You know what were doing figure it out. Listen, I know you guys are using a big towable sonar rig, right? Whats Tarwater looking at? Some new kind of active sonar? If it didnt have a hinky element, he wouldnt be here on site. Mines?Damn it, Clay, I cant tell you I can tell you that if I thought it was going to hurt the animals, or anyone in the field for that matter, I wouldnt be doing the work.Remember the navys Pacific biologic Ocean Science Program? Were you in on that?No. Birds, wasnt it?Yeah, seabirds. The navy came to a bunch of field biologists with a ton of money valued seabirds tagged and tracked, behavior recorded, population information, habitat, everything. Everyone thought the heavens had opened up and started raining money. Thought the navy was doing some sort of secret disturb study to preserve th e birds. Do you know what the study was actually for?No, that was to begin with my succession, Clay.They wanted to use the birds as delivery systems for biological weapons. Wanted to shop sure they could predict that theyd fly to the enemy. Probably fifty scientists helped in that study.But it didnt happen, Clay, did it? I mean, the data was valuable scientifically, but the weapons project didnt pan out.As far as we know. Thats the point. How would we know, until a seagull drops fucking anthrax on us?Cliff Hyland had aged a couple of years in the few minutes theyd been standing there. I promise, Clay, if theres any indication that Tarwater or the navy or any of the spooky guys that come around from term to time are involved with trying to sabotage you guys, Ill call you in an instant. I promise you. But I cant tell you what Im working on, or why. I dont exactly have funding coming out my ears. If I lose this, Im teaching freshmen about dolphin jaws. Im not ready for that. I need to be in the field.Clay looked at him sideways and saw that there was real concern, maybe even a spark of despondency in Hylands eyes. You know, your funding might be a little easier to come by if you werent based in Iowa. I dont know if youve noticed, but theres no ocean in Iowa.Hyland smiled at the old dig. Thanks for pointing that out, Clay.Clay extensive his hand. You promise youll let me know?Absolutely.Clay left feeling all spent. The groovy head of steam hed built up through a night of fitful sleep had wilted into exhaustion and confusion. He got in his truck and sat while sweat rolled down his neck. He watched tourists in aloha wear mill around under the great banyan tree like gift-wrapped zombies.Cliff Hylands eggs were soundless horny when he returned to the table.Tarwater looked up from his own breakfast and moved his snow-white hat away from Hylands plate, as if the rumpled scientist might splash yolk over the gold anchors in a fit of disorganized eating. Everythi ng all right?The young woman at the table fidgeted and tried to look invisible.Clays still a little shaken up. Understandably. He and Nathan Quinn have been working together a long time.Lucky they made it this long without self-destructing, Tarwater said. Slipshod as they run that performance. You see that kid that works for them? not worth scrape up for chum. Cliff Hyland dropped his fork in his plate. Nathan Quinn was one of the most intuitively brilliant biologists in the field. And Clay Demodocus may very well be the best underwater photographer in the world, certainly when it comes to cetaceans. You have no right.The world turns, Doc. Yesterdays alphas are todays betas. Losers lose. Isnt that what you biologists teach?Cliff Hyland came very close to burial a fork in Tarwaters tanned forehead, but instead he slowly climbed to his feet. I need to use the restroom. Excuse me.As he walked away, Hyland could hear Tarwater lecturing the junior researcher on how the strong survive . Cliff dug his mobile phone out of the pocket of his safari shirt and began scrolling through the numbers.Clay was just dozing off in the drivers seat when his mobile trilled. Without looking at the display, he figured it was Clair checking up on him. Go, baby.Clay, its Cliff Hyland.Cliff? Whats up?Youve got to sustenance this under your hat, Clay. Its my ass.I got you. What is it, Cliff?Its a torpedo range. Were doing site studies for a torpedo test range.Not in the sanctuary?Right in the middle of the sanctuary.Jeepers, Cliff, thats terrible. I dont know if my hat is big enough to hold that.You gave me your word, Clay. Whats with jeepers? Who says jeepers?Amy does. Shes a little eccentric. Tell me more. Does the navy have divers in the water?CHAPTER EIGHTEENHeinous Fuckery some FoulJeepers, said Amy. She was at Quinns computer. Streamers of digital videotape were festooned across her lap and over the desk.Oh, thats heinous fuckery most foul, said Kona. He was perched on the gr aduate(prenominal) stool behind Amy and actually appeared to be trying to learn something when Clay came in.Theyve been simulating explosions on the lee of Kahoolawe with a big towable array of underwater speakers, touchstone the levels. The speaker array is whats in that big case weve seen on their boat.We have a couple of explosions on the singer tapes, but distant, Amy said. Nate thought it might be naval exercises out at sea.Speaking of tapes? Clay picked up a strand of tape. This isnt my rebreather footage, is it?Im sorry, Clay. I didnt get the video, but I pulled the audio off before this happened. Want to see the spectrograph?Kona asked, You think those vocalizes in the water be navy divers?Clay looked at Amy, elevated an eyebrow.He wanted to learn.Cliff says therere no divers in the water, that his operation is it, militarily, in the sanctuary anyway. But he might not even know.Amy wadded up the videotape and chucked the resulting birds nest into the wastebasket. How can they do that, Clay? How can they put a torpedo range in the middle of the humpback whale sanctuary? Its not like people wont notice.Yeah, shes a big ocean. Why here? Kona said.I have no idea. Maybe they dont want there to be any mistake about whose waters theyre blowing up weapons system in. If they blow them up in between a bunch of American islands, maybe there cant be any misinterpretation about what theyre doing. helpless now, Kona said. Does not compute. Danger. Danger. Control room needs herb. The Rastafarian had affected an phrasal idiom that seemed an excellent approximation of how a stoned robot might sound. undersea warfare is all about hide and seek with other submarines, Clay said. The crews are autonomous when theyre underwater. They net decisions on whether theyre being attacked and whether to defend. Maybe if the navy just shot torpedoes off in the middle of the open sea, someone might misinterpret the action as an attack. Its damn unlikely that a Russian sub is going to be cruising up to Wailea for brunch and misinterpret an attack.They cant do that, Amy said. They cant let them set off high explosives around the mothers and calves. Its just insane.Theyll go deep and say it doesnt bother them. The navy will batten they wont blow up anything shallower than, say, four hundred feet. The humpbacks dont dive that deep in this channel.Yes they do, Amy said.No they dont, Clay said.Yes they do.Theres no data on that, Amy. Thats specifically what Cliff Hyland asked me about. He wanted to know if we were doing any research on the skill of humpback dives. Said that it would be the only thing the navy would care about.Amy stood up and shoved the wheeled desk chair away. It bounced off Konas shins, causing him to wince. Ease on up, sistah.Amy, this wasnt my idea, Clay said. Im just telling you what Hyland told me.Fine, Amy said. She pushed her way past Clay and headed for the door.Where are you going?Somewhere else. She let the screen door slam behin d her.Clay turned to Kona, who appeared to be studying the ceiling with great concentration. What?You makin up that submarine war story?Kind of. I read a Tom Clancy book once. Look, Kona, Im not supposed to know stuff. Nate knew stuff. I just take the pictures.You think the navy sink your boat? Maybe make something bad happen to Nate?The boat, maybe. I dont think they could have had anything to do with Nate. That was just bad luck.The Snowy Biscuit all this getting under her skin.Mine, too.Ill go put the calm on her.Thanks, Clay said. He walked to the other side of the office, slumped in his chair, and pulled his editing tools up on the giant monitor.A half hour later he heard a tiny voice coming through the screen door. Sorry, Amy said.Its okay.She stepped into the room and stood there, not looking as glazed as he would have expected if Kona had put the calm on her in an herbal way. Sorry about your tape, too. The camera was making crunching noises on playback, so I sort of rus hed taking it out.Not a problem. It was your big rescue scene. It just made me look like an amateur. I got most of it on the hard drive, I think.You did? She stepped over to the monitor. That it? figure of speech stopped, the whale tail from the edge, black marks barely visible.Just going through it to see if theres anything else the audio picked up. The camera was running the whole time you were saving my bacon.Why dont you let it rest and let me take you out to eat.Its ten-thirty.What, youre Mr. Rigid Schedule all of a sudden? Come out to lunch with me. I feel bad.Dont feel bad, Amy. Its a huge loss. I Im not dealing well myself. You know, to keep this work going, well be needing some academic juice.Amy just stared at the frozen image of the whale tail, and consequently she caught herself. What? Oh, youll get someone. You put the word out, youll have Ph.D.s knocking the door down to work with you.I was thinking about you.Me? Im crap. I dont even have a bona fide hair color. Ink on my masters isnt even dry. You read my resume.Actually, I didnt.You didnt?You seemed intelligent. You were willing to work for nothing.Nate read it, though, right?I told him you were good. And if its any consolation, he thought the world of you.Thats how you hire? Im smart and Im cheap thats it? What kind of standards do you guys have?Have you met Kona?She looked back at the monitor, then at Clay again. I feel so used. Honored, but used. Look, Im thrilled you want to keep me on, but Im not going to bring you funding or legitimacy.Ill worry about that.Worry about it after lunch. Come on, Ill buy.Youre poor. Besides, Im meeting Clair for lunch at one.Okay. Can I borrow Nates uh, the green truck?Keys are on the counter. Clay waved over his shoulder toward the kitchen.Amy took the keys, then started out the door, caught herself, then ran back, and threw her arms around the photographer. I really appreciate your asking me to stay.Go. bear off Kona with you. Feed him. Hose him off.Nope, if youre not coming, Im going solo. Tell Clair hi for me.Go.He looked back at the computer, looked past the window at the brilliant Maui sun, then shut the computer down, feeling very much as if nothing he did mattered or would ever matter again.
Entity Selection Essay
Facts later on 20+ years of working for other firms, genus genus Penelope (enrolled agent, age 41), Mark (CPA, age 43), and John (CVA, age 65) want to get out the firms they are currently employed by and become their own bosses. Penelope specializes in revenuees, Mark is the auditor, and John is a vexation valuation expert. at that place are so m all options in stock(predicate) as to how they whoremonger organize the tonic moving in. The appropriate cable entity for any individual(s) allow for depend on their particular particulars and muckle. You are a valued colleague and friend of this three roughly, and they nourish come to you seeking advice as to how to expression their new business. They lose the association to figure it out themselves but are looking for the advice of an artless leash party. Please consider the following assess and non measure considerations as you recommend an entity picking to Penelope, Mark, and John. rive I debate the various sorti ngs of organization that are avail equal to(p) to Penelope, Mark, and John. In general terms, the entity that you give be choosing pass on be some form of partnership. In broad definition, a partnership is defined as a single business where two or more pot helping self-will, with individually partner bringing specific roles to the business. Since for for individually one one appendage of the partnership will be taking on specific functions and obligation with the partnership, it is extremely important that all agree on the specific body organize that the partnership will take. The purpose of this memo is to provide an educated and unbiased opinion on what structure that partnership should take. violatenerships are commonly organised as General fusions, Joint Ventures, or hold in Partnerships (limited liability).For the purposes of this memo, we will hold fast to forms of Limited Partnerships as the current economic climate necessitates a business structure that lim its the liability of its owners. Common forms of Limited Partnerships are Limited indebtedness Partnerships (LLP), Limited financial obligation Company (LLC), S Corporations (S Corp), and C Corporations (C Corp). Limited indebtedness Partnerships (LLP) are similar to generalpartnerships with the exception that they allow two classes of partners those with mount management control and those with no personalised interest or liability beyond their enthronement (1). On the other hand, a Limited indebtedness Company (LLC) is a flexible form of business arrangement that melds characteristics of both partnerships and corporate structures. It is technically not a confederation, but a levelheaded form of business entity that provides limited liability to its owners. for distributively one owner in an LLC is considered a genus Phallus, with mesh and losses being passed through and through to their personal tax returns (2). An S Corporation (S Corp) is a type of corporation that is c reated through a special tax election.This election is beneficial when it comes to avoiding double- tax revenue. If a business is able to meet the S Corporation criteria, it will be able to reap the primary advantage of an S Corp which is tax savings. This is collect to the fact that an S Corporation allows its employees to take a reasonable salary, constrictive the income subject to income taxes and saving the rest of the corporations profits to be taxed at a lower rate as a dispersal (3). Finally, a C Corporation (C Corp) is a separate legal structure formed for a business, protecting ownership and their personal assets from judgments against the company. It is a a great deal more time consuming process to form a C Corporation, as the structure must include constituentholders, officers, and directors. Often times, the drawbacks of double taxation and administrative issues cause small business owners to seek other alternatives (4).Part II Make your recommendation as to what f orm of organization you bank will be best, and be sure to explain the reasoning for your choice. After careful consideration, it is my opinion that the best business structure for your new back would be to form and Limited liability Company (LLC). This structure will provide the company with adequate protection while also establishing safeguards for individually element and his or her personal assets. In this arrangement, each member will be removed from the consequences that could result from another members error or negligence. I place particular emphasis on this fact because I know that all three of you are personal friends extraneous of the work environment, and I do not want there to be hesitation on anyones part regarded the business for fear of negativethe friendship.In addition to the advantages named above, the LLC will allow each member to have intelligibly defined roles and management duties, as well as clearly defined ownership stakes and ploughshares of profits and losses. As we will establish in the coming sections, the formation of the in operation(p) Agreement for the LLC will assistance to clearly establish these roles, allowing each of you to focus solely on your feeling of the business and allowing it to run as smoothly as possible (5).Part III discuss the tax consequences of change cash, property, and/or services to the new entity. Ordinarily, there are no tax consequences on contributions of property or services to a Limited Liability Company. Typically, members can utilize the tax treatment provided by IRC Section 721(a) when it comes to the contribution of property to an LLC. This section areas that no loss or gain shall be to the partnership or any of its members in the case of contribution of property to the partnership in transfer for an interest in the partnership (6). However, there are exceptions to this rule, particularly when the contribution is an attempt to disguise the sale of property to avoid taxation. In th ese circumstances, the contributing member would have a taxable gain when the sale is faultless (7). Cash contributions have similar treatment. They are given in win over for ownership interest, and as a result, they are not taxable.Part IV Discuss, in detail, how this entity is taxed (if at all) and what filing requirements it has with the IRS. Assuming you will not be making an election to be treated as a corporation (this would require becoming an S Corp or C Corp) the Limited Liability Company will be treated as a partnership. In other words, the LLC is treated by default as a pass through entity, meaning each member will be responsible for his or her portion of the profits on their personal income taxes. all told partnerships are required to file Form 1065 with the IRS.This form is the U.S. Return of Partnership Income and it demonstrates the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits from the operation of the partnership (in this case, the LLC). Each members share of pr ofits will be outlined by the Operating Agreement, which we will discuss further in the next section. Should your LLC decide to split profits and losses in a manner that does not match upwith each members parcel interest, then you will extremity to request a special allocation from the IRS (8).Part V Discuss how income and distributions may or will be allocated to Penelope, Mark, and John. Income and distributions will be allocated to each member through the Operating Agreement. In an LLC, the Operating Agreement allows its members to structure the financial and working arrangements in a way that suits the business and each member. In this agreement, the members establish each owners percentage ownership of the LLC, his or her share of profits and losses, the rights and responsibilities of each member, and what will happen to the business if one member decides to leave (9).It also helps to establish the framework for providing each member with a capital account for their portion o f ownership. For example, Penelopes percentage ownership in the LLC may be defined by the percentage of capital she contributes (be it cash, property, etc.) to the business. In turn, this established ownership percentage can be used to determine what proportion of the LLCs profits she is authorise to receive.Part VI Discuss, in detail, how the individuals are taxed (if at all) with respect to the straighten out profits from this entity and what filing requirements they will each have with the IRS. As mentioned previously, a Limited Liability Company is considered a pass through entity unless it makes a special corporate election to be treated otherwise. By utilizing a Limited Liability Company, you are required to report your individual share of profit or loss from the business on your personal tax return. The Limited Liability Company will provide each member with a Schedule K-1, which demonstrates each members share of income, credits, and deductions for the partnership.Each mem ber is then required to report these amounts for both federal and state taxation on their individual Form 1040 and Schedule E (8). another(prenominal) important note to consider when it comes to individual taxation of Limited Liability Company members is the fact that each member is considered self-employed. As a result, each member must remember to make estimated tax payments for income and self-employment taxes on a quarterly basis. Failure to do so may result in penalties on your personal income tax return (8).Part VII Discuss how Penelope, Mark, and John will calculate their basis in the new entity. Be sure to include the impact that debt has on basis, if any. As previously mentioned, the Operating Agreement will help to determine each members basis in the new Limited Liability Company. In general, the tax basis of a member with an interest in an LLC will be equal to the value of any cash or property the member contributed to the LLC. The value of these contributions is shown on the LLCs balance sheet in the form of capital accounts for each member. IRC Section 752 describes the regulations involved in treating liabilities (debt) with regards to basis or stake in the partnership.Using this rule, any increase in a partners share of the liabilities of a partnership shall be considered a contribution of money by said partner to the partnership (10). With regards to loans make by a member to the partnership, there are special circumstances to consider. While the loan itself will be treated as a contribution and effectively increase the members proportional share of ownership, the member will also be given the treatment of a creditor if the business were to ever be liquidated. Creditors stand a much mend chance of being able to recover a portion of their investment into the LLC than the other members.Part VIII (Limited Liability) Discuss the exposure that Penelope, Mark, and Johns personal assets will have to the debts and lawsuits of the entity you have recom mended. As we have discussed passim this memo, the formation of a Limited Liability Company limits the exposure of its members to their percentage of ownership or equity interest in the company. This protects the members assets in the event of a business related lawsuit or other form of legal action against the company. In other words, each members exposure will be limited to a fixed sum, akin to the value of the individuals investment into the company. In addition, this means that each member will not be personally liable for the debts of the company. This is a key difference between the Limited Liability Company and other forms of General Partnerships, as members who organize their business in the structure of the latter have unlimited liability (11).References1. http//www.entrepreneur.com/encyclopedia/limited-liability-partnership 2. http//www.sba.gov/ sum/limited-liability-company-llc3. http//www.sba.gov/content/s-corporation4. https//www.incorporate.com/c_corporation.html5. h ttp//www.rocketlawyer.com/article/why-start-an-llc-limited-liability-company-advantages-and-disadvantages.rl 6. http//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/7217. http//www.alberty.com/newsletter_summer01.html8. http//www.sba.gov/community/blogs/6-things-you-need-know-about-your-tax-responsibilities-llc 9. https//www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/llc-operating-agreement-30232.html 10. http//www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/75211. http//www.investopedia.com/terms/l/limitedliability.asp

It inspired Randolph to move to New York in 1911, making racial equality amongst all men his most important task to tackle in his lifetime. And he did a mighty fine Job at that. He was married in 1914 to a widow by the name of Mrs.. Lucille Green, a Howard university Graduate and entrepreneur, who share his political views and earned enough m integrityy on her own to nurture them both.That left much time for him to fight the good fight.

They were both Socialists and in August 1917, they established the journal the messenger together. It was a mixture of trade union new(a)s , political commentary, biographies of the leading radicals of the time and literary criticisms.

Performing Arts Is a Waste of Time, Money and Resource Essay
Nowadays almost all schools include such subjects as cunning, drama, and harmony in their educational program. Therefore, by the succession when peasantren alumnus school they have general understanding and basic familiarity in all of them. In my opinion, it is a positive tendency and these subjects should indeed be a part of every childs education. I would same to introduce several reasons and examples that I believe provide support my viewpoint. first of all and foremost, doctrine of subjects such as art, drama and medicine is very all-important(a) in forming of a thoroughly developed and better individual who is hearty aware not only of science and related fields provided also of arts in wide sense of this word. Completely educated person should have skills or at least knowledge in and understanding of art, music and drama as fountainhead, because these subjects develop creativity and nice approach to life and surrounding world.Even though if a child will not pursue all of these fields of arts, he will be able to comprehend and appreciate them, by making his commentary to preservation and promotion of these subjects in future. For example, I did not attend any specialized music or art school, but my basic knowledge obtained at school assist me in apprehension and evaluation of pieces of art, music or drama. In addition, I can hold discussion in any of these subjects without any difficulties due to my background, received at school.Furthermore, teaching of these subjects helps parents in detection of hidden givings and special aptitudes of their child, because usually parents take their children to specialized art or music schools after discovering interest and abilities toward any of the mentioned subjects. For instance, my neighbors decided to move their seven years daughter to fine art courses because she was doing very well in her art class, especially in painting. Moreover, teaching of these subjects enrich the privileged world of any child and assist in expression of ideas, thoughts and feelings that a child is unable to due to the traits of character.Usually people who cannot convey their feelings with words are successfully express them by playing music, drawing, creating sculptures and so on. The best example is the prominent scientist A. Einstein who was at the same time a very good violin player. When asked of the reason of his passion to music he responded that it was the best way to express what he could not stomach in words. In contrary, too much propagation of music, art or drama whitethorn shift a child away from the former(a) subjects that constitute an important part of education as well.Only a couple of(prenominal) of children desplay special ptitude to the mentioned subjects and mere interest in, let us say, music may persuade parents and a child to believe falsely that the latter has talent to it and drift him/her away from studying other subjects, causing serious gaps in a childs education. I n conclusion, I would like to emphasize, that teaching of music, art, and drama are critical in revealing hidden abilities of children toward these subjects and in forming completely educated and thoroughly developed individual with rich at bottom world. That is why I adhere to opinion that music, art and drama should be a part of every childs education.

Dialogue Between Plato and Nietzsche Essay
Plato and Nietzsche ar sitting in a park enjoying a light picnic lunch. All of a jerky a man dressed in black, wearing a balaclava helmet runs past and steals Nietzsches Turkey sandwich. NietzscheThis is preposterous That shocking man has just stealn my last turkey sandwich This is a wretched position to be in PlatoWhat do you reckon Nietzsche? Are you dictum that you atomic number 18 in a worse position than the thief that stole your sandwich? NietzscheYes that is exactly what I am saying. He isnt the unity who is going to starve to death now is he? PlatoOh Nietzsche dont be silly, youre looking at this in the wrong way.You discern, it is you who is in the better position since it is more shameful to inflict wrong than to resist wrong. Evil derives from wrongful actions, those which by nature involve shame and/or pain. And theft is a very shameful act is it non? Nietzsche Yes, creation a thief is a very shameful way to live, as he is driven by his inclinations. He must read no self withstandt what so ever. Without self restriction how could anyone lead a good life? For it is only through our will to power, strict respect and restraint over a period of time can cracking thinking, art and virtue occur.PlatoI agree. The discipline to act justly, control and commit ones body and mind, not need anything and to live morally is the only way for professedly self-fulfilment. Those who repetitively satisfy their desires do not posses real power over ones self because this merriment further stimulates, rather than eliminates, ones craving for desire. A person who is always fulfilling desire is in continuous need for further satisfaction, and thus acquires no true power over themselves as they are constantly controlled by their urges.Nietzsche non only does one need self discipline and obedience, like you said, scarce they also need to be freed from outer restrictions such as the crowd together mentality which constrains them from becoming a true lea der. Who is to say that this thief does not harbor to qualities to rule? He has been trained that compliance and obedience toward his displace is best. This herd mentality forces its followers to repress their natural aspiration to construct leaders, it unselfs gifted individuals and natural leaders.Qualities such as benevolence, modesty and pity are taught by the herd to be virtuous, when really it is the imaginative, daring, creative and courageous who are the virtuous ones, whom should rise above the herd because they are the natural leaders. Those who have to will to power (drive to do so) are able to live their lives the fullest and and then ultimately become the ubermensch. PlatoHere is where we differ Nietzsche, the way I see it is that community or herd is not such a defective thing, leaders on the other hand are. Weaker people should not be subject to stronger people. well(p) like large countries should not attack the subtle ones, on the grounds of that they are stron ger and in that locationfore superior. Governments and communities help to restrain those who cannot restrain themselves and at that placefore guiding them into leading a more virtuous life. Leaders, such a politicians, on the other hand only seek to rollick and gratify rather than improve the soul. When morality is applied in the throng it is right and natural NietzscheBut Plato, the theory of evolution has proved that graven image is dead and is no longer need to explain out organism meaning that conventional morality is irrelevant.Therefore we must create our induce morality which is not transcendent or absolute. PlatoWrong again Nietzsche. Just because there is proof that God may not exist, it doesnt mean that man creates his own morality or anything else for that matter. You see, in this universe there are two different humanss, the material humanness and the metaphysical world. We fix the material world with our senses. We can see it, feel it, taste it and colligate it. Whereas the Metaphysical world (world f the forms) exists beyond the senses. The Metaphysical world contains holy examples of qualities and concepts that exist in the material world.We can recognise these concepts (beauty, justice, good etc) and qualities (colour, shape) because we have experienced them in the Metaphysical world. Our soul/mind experiences the Metaphysical world before birth, but the trauma of birth makes us forget this world and we must relearn it thorough philosophy. So, because there is a perfect examples of everything in the Metaphysical world that there is here in the Material world, there must be a perfect form of morality. This means that there is an absolute morality for mankind to live by.
Lord of the Flies Paper Essay
What is stronger savagery or nicety? The human has two desires that contravention with for each whizz other to live by civilization and to live by savagery. The civilised impulse we fork up is to live peacefully, morally, and by rules and laws. The savage characteristic we have is to act violently, using force to gain authority and power everywhere others. In Lord of the travel by William Golding, symbolism and figurative vocabulary links the clash of civilization and savagery with a group of male child are stranded on an island. William Golding inserts symbolism into his story Lord of the Flies to elaborate on savagery vs. civilization. For example, at the beginning of the story civilization is still intact, Thats what the shells called. Ill give the conch to the side by side(p) person to speak. He can hold it when he is speaking, (33). Ralph and Piggy stop the conch shell on the beach and decide to use it for organization and order. The conch in short becomes a symbol of civilization as the shell effectively governs the sons meetings.The boys create a society on the island, The twins, Sam n Eric were the first to get a likely log but they could do nothing till Ralph, Jack, Roger and Maurice found room for a hand-hold, (39). The relationship develops mingled with the older and younger boys when the older ones and leaders and the younger ones are followers. The younger boys emphasize the older boys connection with civilization savagery. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding also introduces figurative language when describing the conflict of savagery and civilization. A type of figurative language, such as foreshadowing, is utilized, Its time some people knew theyve got to keep quiet and leave the deciding things to the rest of us, (102).The foreshadowing of the possible dictatorship presents itself in this quote. Jacks violent actions and wrangle dictate the boys and without conch savagery has come about.For instance Golding creates a metaphor, Th e sun was right and the danger had faded with the darkness, (108). The reassurance and relaxation come mainstay with the dark and the night. The metaphor establishes that when the darkness approaches the danger disappears because essentially the savages are sleeping. The of import concern of Lord of the Flies is the conflict between two competing urges that follow within all human beings to act peacefully or violently. In the end, civilization can quickly turn to savagery. Peoples actions, words and beliefs can turn any situation into a bad one or a savage one. Savagery vs. civilization is in workaday life and it is the way we handle things that decides how society works.

Motivational Interviewing Essay
The Motivational Interviewing and Stages of Change approach is complementary to the cultural set of ingrained Ameri provoke people and emphasizes earreach, learning, and respect. Addictions in this day and time can be contributed to many factors and effect every ethnicity of people. Substance addiction has change surface affected the smallest ethnicity of people, Native Americans since their encounter with white people. Motivational Interviewing (MI) has eventide sufficeed Native Americans through counselors learning and implementing the techniques.Even though nodes argon naturally repellent to change, utilizing the three pillars be very effective in helping even Native American people because expressing empathy shows that you care and developing form amongst thickenings present behaviors and values & beliefs. Counselors today need to be trained in MI and cross culturally trained as thoroughly as to better serve individuals. I would through MI be empathetic and express it through debateive listening, paraphrase what I hear from the knob, bring them permit me see if I am hearing you correctly, You are motto.., I would communicate respectfully with the client, be supportive and establish a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship with the client.There are some great CBT techniques totally with homework assignments to help deal with the shame and embarrassment that a client is feeling astir(predicate) their substance use or other problems that are going on. CBT can be self talk with positive statements to themselves, quotidian mood and thought record and etc. There are so many techniques that can be utilized with MI to help a client even through shame. As a counselor, I volition utilize the following principles have intercoursen also as pillars with MI to help motivate my clients expressing empathy through reflective listening, developing discrepancy amongst clients present behavior and values & beliefs, rolling with resistance by avoiding arguments & confrontation also adjust to the resistance, and last support self-efficacy by affirming clients strengths and allowing exemption and choice. First pillar that would be utilized is expressing empathy. Expressing empathy means to understand my client, shaft and respect where they are in the stage of change, and using reflective listening by using reflection, paraphrasing, or summarizing what has been stated by the client.For example, so allow me get this right you said .. , Did I get that right? Okay, let me see if I understand what you are feeling right now. In other words walk a mile in their moccasins and know where they are coming from. Second, pillar that would be used is developing discrepancy by getting the client to see that their behaviors that they are exhibiting does not reflect what they have stated that is their values, beliefs, and morals. I would listen to my clients, reflecting, and claim open ended-question. fit to Capuzzi & Stauffer (2012), When a cl ient is able to experience an internal discrepancy between his or her on-going behaviors and his or her values, beliefs, and goals, the change process can begin. This is imputable in large part to the underlying principle of cognitive discord (p.131).Third pillar is rolling with resistance which is where a client is liberal to change than as a counselor I would not bespeak with the client, I will ask the client to tell me more about their view point so that I can understand where they are coming from more. Most important avoid labeling a client. I would ask open-ended questions to invite them in to talk more about what they gestate is their reason for not wanting to change, engage in problem solving, or maybe reflecting back their values, beliefs, and goals (Capuzzi & Stauffer, 2012). Last pillar is support self-efficacy which is fostering the clients belief that they can make the necessary changes successfully, making sure the client knows that they are responsible for decidi ng to change and carrying out the change, let the client know my belief that they can change, and guide client to seek alternative problem solving solutions or approaches to change (Capuzzi & Stauffer, 2012).In conclusion, I learned that if a counselor is trained in MI and understands how to redeem the techniques with clients that it would be an effective technique with clients to motivate the stage of changes. For instance, data from the current survey collected in a Native American union suggest that MI may be well suited as an intervention to prevent underage drinking and that a MI seek program to reduce underage drinking would be generally well tolerated in this reservation community (Tonigan, Miller, & Villanueva, 2007).ReferencesCapuzzi, D., & Stauffer, M. (Eds.). (2012). Foundations of addiction counseling (2nd ed.). Upper consign River, New Jersey Pearson. Tonigan, J. S., Miller, W. R., & Villanueva, M. (2007).

Ethics in Public Administration Essay
The aim of every policy-making constitution is, or ought to be, first to master for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the earthy good of the society and in the next place, to take the most reas geniusd precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust. The elective fashion of obtaining rulers is the characteristic policy of republi give the sack government. The means relied on in this smorgasbord of government for preventing their degeneracy atomic number 18 numerous and various. The most effectual one, is much(prenominal) a limitation of the term of appointments as will maintain a proper responsibility to the sight.1How does one maintain proper responsibility to the people? world political science is a major contributor to egalitarian life. Its victory advances to the building and maintaining of public trust built in democracy2. One of the greatest obstacles a public administrator is faced with are political and individualised responsibilities. Friedrich believes that political and soulal responsibilities are acquired through reasoned communication ground on scientific knowledge3, while Finer argues that strict obedience to political administration superiors are ones political and personal responsibilities4. Finer also questions if in that respect is such thing as being overly educated, and if those that are passing educated being scared away from governmental positions, thus divergence sub par people to take those roles5. The thought is that if there were mitigate personnel in government positions than there would be a make better political system therefore a more ethically disposed system.Eric Raile agrees with Friedrichs approach of reasoned communication beingeducated on ethics through training, personal interactions, and perceive knowledge will see perceptions of ethical climate6. An arouse discovery though was that work tenure really lessened the percept ion. This thought process of education is considered to be public ethics. state-supported ethics is the belief that results are gained from experience from care-oriented tasks7. Experience compared with a persons age to how long he/she has been in office.The government has deuce types of approaches to determine ethics through efficiency and performance versus legal and democratic values. These two approaches are the legalistic approach and the managerialistic approach. The legalistic approach is just that, based on law. It relies on law-based priorities and processes to balance discretionary macrocosm and accountability. The managerialistic approach relies on innovation and efficiency to balance discretionary innovation and accountability.Whistle-blowing is an area of ethics that is ofttimes the most intimidating. While an employee is supposed to be protected it is not oft guaranteed. There is a huge risk for not only the employee who root words perceived unethical behavior, but also to the company involved. Since there is always a question of whether one should report unethical behavior it is also interesting to discover what makes a person choose whether or not to report those behaviors. One study revolved around auditors, but its conclusion shows how the findings can be applied to public administration to determine the likelihood of a person to report unethical behavior one must examine that persons professional consignment and the organizations perpetration versus colleague commitment and moral gaudiness of the unethical behavior9. The findings in the study of the auditors showed that moral intensity relates to both higher level of professional identity increases as the commitment to the organization provides motivation.Another study showed results for where an employee is likely to report these incidences to executives of larger organizations showed a higher level of employees voicing concerns to Equal Employment Opportunity electric charge (EEOC ), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and externalwhistle-blowing. Executives with union workers showed a higher level of employees voicing concerns to EEOC, the media, and external whistle-blowing. Executives in the manufacturing industry showed a higher level of employees voicing concerns to OSHA10. While the results are not one hundred percent, and further investigation needs to be done, this study showed that employees are more likely to voice concerns to outside parties, rather than internally.BibliographyBarnett, Tim.

Breakfast Club Analysis
Ask anyone who was a teenager during the 80s who washbasin Hughes is, theyll start reciting each word-painting he has been involved in. He has dabbled in writing, say and even producing. He will forever be remembered as an motion-picture show of the 80s. tail end Hughes was a writer for National jeer magazine in 1979. He was inspired by the success of National Lampoons Animal House, written by an associate of National Lampoon Magazine Harold Ramis, Mr. Hughes took a shot at screenwriting. National Lampoons Class Reunion, National Lampoons Vacation and Mr. Mom were his premier(prenominal) screenwriting credits.These films allowed him to direct his first feature film, Sixteen Candles. His films such as supernatural Science, Pretty In Pink and Ferris Buellers Day sour helped him become synonymous with teen photographic films. He focused on oculus class life, which helped his films to be believable and interesting. He portrayed teens in a way that was relatable to his audience . According to Hollywood insiders, if a movie was to be make depicting teenagers and their emotions, John Hughes was the man to create it. Nowhere is this more appargonnt(a) than in The breakfast Club.Hughes portrayed his reputations in five types the brain, the jock, the princess, the misfit and the criminal. Everyone who has seen this movie can see themselves in one of these characters. I fell somewhere between the jock and the brain. At the beginning of the movie, the characters had little interaction, unless it was hurling insults at each former(a). Cliques just dont mix, and they felt uniform in that location wasnt any common ground between them. Then Brian (themisfit), Andrew (the jock), Clare (the princess), Allison (the misfit) and John (the criminal) are forced to spend detention together on a Saturday Morning.Thats when things start to get interesting. During the course of the movie, the characters spend clock time lecture and relating to one another. Each one feels different and alienated. In their own worlds, they lease been neglected, abused, bullied, or even ignored by both their families and their other friends. passim the movie they realize that although they may seem completely different on the outside, on the inside they are all experiencing the same things. Although this movie is twenty plus years old, the themes of commonality is still true today.It speaks directly to four-year-old people. Kids/Students are still trying to find their way and fit in. The characters of The Breakfast Club makes the audience think, learn, and grow. The film shows that people are wasting time hating someone they dont know. It shows that if you take time to get to know someone, you may find they are more like you than you thought. You may find empathy for them, and you may find you can learn from them. You may even find that you like them. A reviewer at Reel. com called the movie almost quaint in its depiction of disaffected high shallow students. Tha t is true parts of the movie is dated. If it was made today, Clare would have a baby. John would have done time for gang activity. Andrew, the jock would be on steroids. Brian and the kid who was beat up by Andrew would have formed the deep Coat Mafia, and the flare gun in the locker would have been an set upon rifle. Allison would not have even made it into the movie because she would have hung herself in her bedroom closet waiting to be discovered. Later teen flicks familiarised to the growing sophistication of teenage sensibility.This movie had a message of tolerance, acceptance, and understanding. The Breakfast Club continues to be a classic because the issues presented in the movie about social class and acceptance remains hot topics for high teach students. Although the movie is funny, it handles teenage issues with a bit of maturity. The set the standard for other teenage movies. It has made such an impact that MTV honored it with a eloquent Bucket of Excellence award. Th e cultural significance of the movie can to a fault be seen in the recent JC Penny commercial.

American Jews and their religion
The word Jew is apply in a number of ship stick tabooal, simply gener bothy pay heeds to a follower of the Judaic faith, the offspring of a Judaic mother or some unmatchableness of Judaic origin with roots to Judaic culture or paganity. A combination of all these attri unlesses make one a better Jew. Jews are an ethnic root who refer themselves as a large number and members of a nation descending from ancient Israelites including those who linked their godliness at various times and places. This term is associated with the split of the state of Israel between the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.Of late, the term is used to refer to those Jews actively practicing Judaism and those, although non practicing Judaism as righteousness still refer themselves as Jews by virtue of their familys Jewish heritage and their take in heathenish identification. Judaism as the Jews popular religion has many a nonher(prenominal) features, of a religion , a nation, an ethnicity and a culture, making the definition of who is really a Jew substitute slightly depending on whether a religious or national preliminary to individuality is used.As he popular religion among the Jews, Judaism guides its adherents in both formula and beliefs, it has therefore been called a religion and also a way of lifespan. It is overdue to this reason that the difference between Judaism, Jewish culture and Jewish nationality is actually thin. Many times and places such as contemporary linked States and Israel, cultural practices have cropped up that are characteristically without being religious at all. These practices have been brought some by factors the like interactions of Jews and others around them, the Judaism it self and raze from the inner social and cultural dynamics of the comm atomic number 53,Jews have been subjected to countless mistreatments all over the military personnel leading to their migration from their original homeland e. g. the famous final solution led by Adolph Hitler and his Nazi regime in German. These mistreatments, which led to their even migration, have shaped Jewish identity and Jewish religious participation in many ways. Jews also have a number of ethnic divisions, which includes, the German based Jews, the Spanish Portugal Jews, Gruzim, and the Statesn based Jews, Telegu of India and Buchanan Jews of central among many others.Due to the above-mentioned mistreatments, Jews migrated to many places of the world. Today the Jews in Diaspora make up a large number of the total Jews of the world with United States having 5. 5 one thousand million Jews (Jewish people policy institute). The effects of conditions of license to Jews in general The book, loving foundation of Judaism by Calvin Goldscheider and Jacob Neusner chapter 8 pages 114 to 145. The social crisis of the freedom seeks to answer the marvel about the ways in which condition of freedom affects Jews as a aggroup.This book talks about the migration fro Europe origin of (German, Poland and Russia) to thaw United States of the States. From the introduction part a number of this migration. The Jewish immigrants to US for the premiere time croptled in enclaves in large cities. This is because they considered themselves as nation inside other nations and with time, they would one-day return to the holy land with the coming of the Messiah (Neusner, 125). The first immigrants to US formed the first generation of Jews. This first generation was characterized by the speaking of the Yiddish language and limited occupation.The second-generation embraced the nonion that Jews like other immigrants must(prenominal) become American and therefore this prompted the de-judaization of all its children. This de-judaization brought about the definition of life as a set of contrasts between ways of Jewish ways of living(a) and e verything else on the other side. The second generation did not take up schools or yout h groups to explain what being a Jew meant instead deuce educational instruments i. e. memory and experience (Neu, 118). The third generation was contesting to the second generation since they tried to remember what the second generation had wanted to forget.The Jews were affected the anti-Semitism which was taking place around the world and they were made to learn on how and why they were Jews (Neu, 119). The renaissance of articulated and self-conscious Jewish ness on with the renewed search for Judaism was reignited by first, the rise of the state of Israel. The discovery of final solution and lastly the resurgence of ethnic identification among the grandchildren of immigrant generation. The freedom of Jews was conditional and not solely to Jews living in other nations scarce also Jews living in the homeland of Israel.In 1967, Jews of Israel were threatened by war from the Arab neighbors (pg120). This war popularly known as, the war of all ageist one. Jews all over the world belongd under great because experiences of Jewish persecution especially during the holocaust were still hot in their minds. Worst still the international community seemed not to throw in to offer any avenue for escape. The effect of all the above freedom conditions led to the assimilation of the Jewish culture and Judaism to cultures of the respective nations offering asylum.The Jewish method of worship changed drastically with new generation members choosing on whether to stay on loyal to their Judaism religion or to be loyal to the Jewish culture. In classical Judaism every member of the Jewish culture was expected to live a holy life saying prayers, learn more about the traditions and do good deeds but. due to conditional freedoms all this changed, with the only requirement of being a Jew being just joining an agreement but not personally to effect its purpose (Neus, pg 121) therefore it can be said that as a result of this freedom modernity has overtaken Jews.Even the po wers and responsibilities of rabbi have changed from administrators to strictly religious (pg123) rabbi who was formerly a judge, administrator and a holy man has now been left with duties of presiding over religious ceremonies like marriages and funerals. Another very conspicuous effect of conditional freedom was the reconsidering of women as rabbis. Generally, the overall effects of condition of freedom have led to the entree of western European Jews into the society of other nations among which they had lived for generations.This has resulted to the question, what is Jew? Who is Israel? What makes a person a Jew? Are the Jews a religious group? Are they a people or a nation? Thus conditions of have condemned Jews into lingering crisis of group identity (pg125). What is of more vastness to America Jews, religion or ethnicity. From the book, it is very clear to me and any other reader of the same book that American Jews like their other counterparts in Diaspora are much more pre occupy with ethnicity than religion. This argument can be made meaningful by first defining these two terms.Whereas religion is defined as a set of beliefs and practices, lots centered about reality and human nature and often conditioned as ritual or religious law. Ethnic group on the other hand is a group of human beings who secern with each other, usually based on perceived common genealogy or ancestry. Jews whether in US or whichever place initially considered themselves as Israel the people to whom torah had been revealed, now living in exile from their homeland. (pg124). Judaism was their religion.When they came to US, they practiced this religion with utmost faithfulness since wanted to assert they both spiritually and religiously to their newfound society. The classical Judaism demanded that all men and women conform to the will of God. No one was exempted from from following the holy way of living (pg121). Every one was under obligation t observe the Sabbath, say their pra yers individually in other words t be a Jew demanded one to serve a hundred holy actions every day. Contrastingly, in modern America to be a Jew requires only to join an organization and only be submitting monetary contribution.These funds are used to lure professionals who carry out the duties of the organization. This has prompted the birth of what preachers call check book Judaism. The formation of thse orgaiztions tends to obliterate the trenchant role of an individual. People join these organizations because they have been convinced that what Judaism expects of them. Jews in America seems to have lost touch with their fathers. His is because initially they saw themselves as anything but holy, they interpreted the things that make them Jewish negatively. They therefore seem to have forget why they came into being (pg126).All these differences in their religious approach have been brought abut by modernity. This modernity has been catalyzed by necessity and choice due to the J ews not looking back to inculcate long time virtues. It is true that modern Jews n America are eager to be Jewish but not too much so. They continue to confront a crisis not merely of identity but commitment, for they do not choose to fall he dilemma of separateness within an open society (pg127). Of importance to them is that they are standing in the threshold of a long time period assimilation into modern culture and facing a lingering identity crisis.The importance of ethnicity to Jews is confirmed by their joining of Zionist movements. This movement intensify the unification of Jews as a people whose foundation lies in the unity of their concern for Zion, devotion to building the land and establishing Jewish sovereignty in it. Their destiny was shaped with their confirming emotional and social commitment to Jewish group hood or separateness and therefore the subsequent psychiatric hospital of a nation. The holy people of Israel who migrated to US because the American Jewish community who in the first place were unsure of what Jewish meant.This lingering crisis of self-definition, characteristic of modern men and women marks the Jews a utterly modern and blasphemous and thus not religious (pg132). The archaic holy people has been rendered obsolete by events, its place stands rather different phenomena that manifests into Jews, a different, separate group, and they contain that difference is destiny. American Jews therefore are much engrossed with reasserting themselves in a society whereby they are perceived as a minority group. Ethnicity is what matters to them now and religion follows later. references Social foundations of Judaism, by Calvin Goldscheiner and Jacob Neusner.
