On November 9, 1965, over 80,000 square miles were without power throughout areas of Canada and the Northeastern section of the United States. For as many as twelve hours, over 25 million people lived in darkness. This event is widely known as the Great Blackout of 1965. Although it occurred forty nine years ago, the Great Blackout of 1965 has had a major impact on how electricity operation systems work today, and has led to the formation of reliability councils such as the National Electric Reliability
Introduction Throughout the essay, I will be evaluating how globalisation and technology may influence future offices being paper-less and people-less and how communication is heavily influenced by technology. Globalisation is a very complex term with various definitions, in business terms, “globalization describes the increasingly global nature of markets, the tendency for transnational businesses to configure their business activities on a worldwide basis, and to co-ordinate and integrate their
Fathers every year in Washington go to jail for nothing more than being broke (Deadbeat). They are called “dead beat dads” by their peers, scorn by society, and treated as subclass citizens (THE, ASSOCIATED). This is a very grim reality that men of every age range face daily. Both men and women make the choices which result in babies. However, women are given a choice at every stage of the child’s development to adopt out, abort, or even use contraception (Why). Thus, men and women share equal responsibility
Chapter # 2 Literature Review a. Transactional Leadership As per chronicles foundational stone of transactional leadership was laid upon leader-member exchange leadership theory. According to Pastor and Mayo (2008) through leader-follower exchange transactional leadership can be identified. It shows that benefits, incentives, perquisites and rewards are provided only on one condition when employees work in accordance with organizational objectives, values, norms, culture and give their required

Part A: Identification and Evaluation of Sources Research Question: What was the primary factor that led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965? Many Americans were outraged by an event that occurred on March 7, 1965, when Alabama state troopers attacked peaceful voting rights protest participants who were marching from Selma, Alabama, to the state capital in Montgomery. These individuals were battered with nightsticks, tear gas and whips after they refused to turn back. Some of them were
1) The Immigration Act of 1965 greatly expanded the ability to immigrate to the United States based upon the greater cap on immigration, and non quota exceptions for Family preferences and Work preferences. Although there have been some changes, this is largely the process which exists currently. If you and/or your family legally immigrated to the United States after 1965, please share your immigration process in relationship to this law. The 1965 immigration act marked a radical break from
This report will explain how the African-Americans wanted equal rights and voting rights. Hundreds of African Americans decided to march to Montgomery from Selma challenging the government and changing lives forever. In the year 1965, thousands of people marched for their rights. They marched to protest about how the blacks should not be segregated and should be treated fairly. During the march the civil rights activists and many other people were beaten and threatened, they just kept walking. They
When President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Immigration Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, he said, “[t]his bill that we sign today is not a revolutionary bill”, underestimating the change that would come about from the signing of this law. The Immigration Act was passed in the midst of much reform and civil rights activism in the United States and banned discrimination in the issuance of visas due to “‘race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence’”(Fitzgerald, Cook-Martin
More than five decades after the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, many immigrants in the United States still follow the foundations of this immigration law. Also known as the Hart-Cellar Act, it has introduced a new age of mass immigration and impacted the lives of millions of new Americans. The fundamentals of this act are family reunification and employment preferences, which are still maintained in any efforts to reform the 1965 legislation. This new law replaced the National Origins system
the right to vote. If observed, it would almost seem as if we have arrived, we made it. However the truth is we haven’t, if anything, we’ve become an even bigger detriment to ourselves and our oppressors. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 makes this statement evident! In 1965, voting rights activist, Jimmie Lee Jackson was murdered at the Dallas County Courthouse protest by an Alabama state trooper which ignited the peaceful marches in Selma, Alabama. One of the most known marches, Bloody Sunday, was
Voting Rights Act of 1965 The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C.A. § 1973 et seq.) prohibits the states and their political subdivisions from imposing voting qualifications or prerequisites to voting, or standards, practices, or procedures that deny or curtail the right of a U.S. citizen to vote because of race, color, or membership in a language minority group. After the American Civil War, the 14th and 15th amendments were passed with the idea of protecting the rights of newly freed African
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a groundbreaking law. America finally had a law that was specifically designed to combat racism and otherwise disenfranchisement at the polls. The main issue that caused the need for the VRA 1965 were laws like the Jim Crow laws. These laws were made to combat the Fifteenth Amendment, which gave African Americans the right to vote. “Even though Blacks were “free” to vote after adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment,14 states continued to deny them the power of the franchise
The main intention of the Freedom Ride of 1965 was to raise awareness of discrimination against Aboriginal people and to try and generate a movement for change in Australia. The Freedom Ride is significant to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people because the key aims were to improve the level of health, education and living standards of Aboriginal people, including the desegregation of public facilities in regional towns such as Walgett and Moree. The Freedom Ride adopted the non-violent,
Act of 1965, under the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson. The purpose of the act was to protect African-Americans’ voting rights and overcome legal barriers that prevented them from exercising their rights to vote. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a historic triumph as it helped the nation acknowledge the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which granted equal voting rights to all but which goal remained unfulfilled for the next several decades. Therefore, The Voting Rights Act of 1965 banned
The Every Student Succeeds Act is a federal statute that became a law on December 10, 2015. This law reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. ESSA gives the state’s power to determine how to use required tests for accountability purposes, includes grants to help fund different programs, and provides states with flexibility that they did not have before. There are also some requirements ESSA includes, such as; it requires schools to consult stakeholders for the planning and

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments were created to prohibit and expel the issues of discrimination against people of color, but the issues each specific race dealt with were not all given equal attention and solved around the same times. Although the first VRA act passed was a significant milestone in allowing minorities to vote, it focused on addressing the African American community’s woes. As a result, this left similar issues that Latinos, Native
and Naturalization Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, abolished an earlier quota system based on national origin and established a new immigration policy based on reuniting immigrant families and attracting skilled labor to the United States. “The passage in 1965 of the landmark Immigration Act along with the Voting Rights Act and the laws creating Medicare/Medicaid, make that year the legislative high point of late-twentieth-century liberalism” (134). The 1965 law adopted a ceiling of
America. But as Black activism increased and the economy required more labor needs, the federal government had to act in order to keep the nation under control. Finally, in 1965 two acts were passed in order to fulfill the demands of the minorities. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 were two legislations that sought to eradicate racial discrimination by providing political power and representation to the minorities.
