In the readings and lectures we discussed many issues regarding postmodernity and what it was concerning the Black Atlantics, we viewed movies ranging from Africans in Central America through Africa itself. The way we explored how pan Africanism brought light into modernity and how many musicians believed that creating songs that had a meaningful message to the mass, was a way to get everyone aware of issues such as Apartheid or corruption. Several of the artists were/are Bob Marley and Gilberto Gil, Bob Marley had a great influence in Jamaica in the way his music brought the nation of Jamaica together, Marley would be a voice to the people, but he would become a symbol for African around the world, especially those in facing issues of oppression in Africa. Marley would embrace Africa, as he saw his visit as home welcoming, his attitude towards the issues of oppressing the people was fighting for the liberation without taking an act of violence and each to love another as one. Like Marley, Gilberto Gil has the same amount of impact in informing the people of Brazil through music by expressing messages of current issues such as poverty and the corruption in Brazil. This way of getting messages through acts of social media was brought through the age of modernity. The meaning of Postmodernity concerning Black Atlantic was to take ideas from past activist and infused them into the modern world, that the same message could be applied by means of music instead of speeches. The presumption that the new generation is not as active to achieve freedom or resist political misrule is the cause of many artists of all media to let the new generation know of the past generations struggles to fight for the freedom they obtained.

With these two writers who sought to further their education by studying in the United States, we saw that many of them tried to bring the knowledge they acquired and bring it back to help their homeland. This is a great example of also the change of how the African was viewed in Foreigner lands, professors saw the potential of the Africans students possessed, but also how much the African students taught them, it was a two way of learning. It also gives lights to postmodernity and how many of these writers would set the foundations for peace movements, and how they used knowledge and media to get the message across, and that was the whole idea of postmodernity was to use new means of ideas to get the message through if it was through movements or media such as music.
Atlantic Bluefin Tuna The Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus is a sleek, fast-moving giant that once lived efficiently in the world's oceans for millions of years. This marvel of evolution has endured countless hardships of climate change, predators, and shifts in prey populations, however, nothing compares to the pressures placed on the bluefin by the fishery today. It is a species in dire need of preservation. The Atlantic Bluefin tuna cruise the coasts of the Northern Atlantic and migrate
The Atlantic Slave Trade The changes in African life during the slave trade era form an important element in the economic and technological development of Africa. Although the Atlantic slave trade had a negative effect on both the economy and technology, it is important to understand that slavery was not a new concept to Africa. In fact, internal slavery existed in Africa for many years. Slaves included war captives, the kidnapped, adulterers, and other criminals and outcasts. However
Overview How did the Atlantic System affect Europe, Africa, and the Americas? (The Earth and Its Peoples, 500) The movement of goods, people, and wealth in the late 17th and 18th centuries permanently changed societies across the continents of Europe, Africa, and North and South America, thereby increasing the reach of globalization in the modern age. Most influential to this movement was what is sometimes referred to as “The Atlantic Circuit”, a triangle of trade between Western Europe, western
focus of this paper is the Atlantic salmon fishery. In particular, this paper looks at habitat loss and salmon farming both of which have had major impacts on the sustainability of the fishery. Several efforts have been made to restore Atlantic salmon to their native habitat, specifically in Maine and New Hampshire. This paper reviews the policies that have been implemented, not yet implemented, and a proposed policy. Historical Background of Atlantic salmon In 1758, a Swedish naturalist
sharing agreement between Air India and Virgin Atlantic Airlines for the DEL- LON sector. During the last nine months there has been fare wars, value added services, alliances etc. Suddenly there seems some action in the Aviation Industry, where Virgin has acted as a lubricator. There are many other airlines, in bid of competition increasing their capacities or increase their flights for the same route. Introduction In the early 80s, when Virgin Atlantic was created, by Richard Branson was a go getting
Full Capacity. Virgin Atlantic started operations in 1984 with the concept of serving strong demand destinations. The maiden flight from London Gatwick to Newark Liberty International Airport took place on 22 June 1984 (Nandy, 2015). Since then the airline expanded but largely remained as a single city hub airline. That hub is now in England’s capital, London’s Heathrow airport, (IATA’s code LHR) (see route map in annex 1). As a long-haul airline Virgin Atlantic is highly dependent on
Virgin Atlantic Market The airline industry was affected more than most by the tragic events of September 11th 2001. There was an immediate and significant reduction in passenger demand, particularly across the North Atlantic, and a number of airlines became bankrupt. 9/11 was quickly followed by further challenges of SARS and the effects of the Gulf War. The industry is slowly rebuilding passenger confidence and recent traffic figures show signs of a recovery from 9/11. However, it is clear that
The Virgin Atlantic is providing jobs to wishful applicants that were interested in joining them. But before proceeding further, let we explain what the definition of employed and unemployed is. In this sense, the employed are the one who currently have job meanwhile, the unemployed are those who currently do not have jobs, and together with the unemployed, they create the labor force (O'Sullivan, Sheffrin, & Perez, 2010). From the micro economical perspective, the company is contributing to the
“The Atlantic World was a world Europeans, Africans, and Americans “made together” –together with peoples from without.” Such is the belief of Peter Coclanis, Albert R. Newsome Professor of History and Economics and Associate Provost for International Affairs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In his paper: Atlantic World or Atlantic/World? published in the William and Mary Quarterly in 2006, Coclanis argues that the study of Atlantic history is too narrow. He writes in this paper

One of the most consequential measures that shaped the relations between Africa and the Atlantic World was the development of the Atlantic System from the sixteenth to nineteenth century. The Atlantic System, or often referred as the Atlantic Slave Trade emerged when the need of labor sources, for large plantations in the Western Hemisphere, heightened. While the transportation of slaves began in small proportions with the enslavement of around twelve African slaves, it soon advanced into a wide
The documentary on The Black Atlantic was very informative documentary. It described the lives of African Americans from the 1500s to the 1800s.It told the stories of the first Africans in North America and the struggles they went through as slaves. They are big part of what the country is today thanks to their hard work and contributions. The documentary started off by telling the story of the first African Americans and their arrival in America through the Atlantic Ocean, Juan Garrido arrived with
identity and respect as a human. Slavery stripped a person of their homeland, family, humanity, and hope. Atlantic slavery was a dark time in history when a country’s, as well as an individual’s, economic prosperity was valued over human life. Millions of human lives were lost at the cost of power, prestige, and wealth. While this is a very bleak picture of the past, throughout the existence of Atlantic slavery, we see small glimmers of humanity. The terror and horror of the slave trade and what took place
