MBA Admissions Essays - Beyond the Curve

Having worked in a constantly evolving sector of the economy, I realize the value of an MBA weighs heavily on a program's commitment to staying ahead of the curve. Although the classic lecture format has undeniable value, I believe for an MBA program to truly further my career, it must have something more. My career path has exposed me to many different aspects of the business world and I believe an MBA program should likewise consist of a myriad of course work and experiences. Since an MBA program will provide the building blocks for my career, I view an innovative and modern approach to learning as a necessity. Looking at traditional MBA programs that consist of marketing/finance/accounting fundamentals, I find the approach at your program to be much more expansive. Supplementing these essential classes with core courses in communications, organizational processes, and strategic management, makes your program broader than any other MBA program.

    "The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense knew what they wanted. They were young. They were black. They couldn't be ignored. Their ten-point platform was just the beginning of an unforgettable period in the history of this nation's civil rights movement. By 1967 the Black Panthers had established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Their ideas, their agenda, their fight for equality for African Americans, put these outspoken youth on the map of American politics." (Haskins) Almost 40 years ago, in 1966, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale led a revolution that was driven in response to the oppression of black people. They sought to change that. Today, thanks to their fight for civil rights, extreme risks, and development of social needs, people around the world can enjoy some of their modifications, such as free breakfast programs. The formation and movements of the Black Panther Party were directed by the F.B.I, who sought to bring every party member down; as well as their radical alliances, such as The Resistance, (which kindled the rebirth of the party during hard times), and the brave women who joined the party, such as Afeni Shakur, stood up for their rights in a time in which Americas looked down on women as less than equals helped their cause.

  • Essay On The Black Panther Party

    3235 Words  | 7 Pages

    The Black Panther Party is an African-American revolutionary organization which emerged from the 1960s. Campaigning for equal rights amongst African-Americans within the United States, The Black Panther Party, (originally entitled The Black Panther Party For Self-Defense), sought the termination of the centuries worth of oppression and inequality that continued to persist amongst African-Americans which included social, economic and political suppression. Founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, The Black Panther Party would not only play a key role in the Black Power element of the Civil Rights Movement, but because of its revolutionary stance and tactics that were not only opposed to but acted upon against the unjust system of government under which Blacks lived, the Black Panther Party would later be deemed by then Federal Bureau of Investigation director J. Edgar Hoover as the "greatest threat to the internal security of the United States" (Jones, 366).

    The term mafia is commonly used to refer to any large groups of organized criminals, such as the Russian mafia or the Japanese Yakuza, but the term was coined originally to refer to organized criminals of Italian descent. The mafia formed in Sicily as a vigilante group as the islands inhabitants did not trust the Spanish government. In the 1940’s, many mafiosi arrived in the United States after attack from the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, although organized gangs of Italian-Americans were involved in the bootlegging business at the beginning of prohibition. “In the late 1920’s a bloody power struggle known as the Castellammarese war broke out between New York City’s two biggest Italian-American criminal gangs.”(Mafia, 2) In 1931, Salvatore Marzano and his gang were the victors, and declared himself the leader of the criminal underworld in New York. He was killed that same year by “Lucky” Luciano. Luciano then created a sort of government for the mafia, who would create policy, resolve conflicts, and allowed members to vote on decisions as a democracy. American crime families followed a strict hierarchy, lead by a crime boss who ruled with unquestioned authority. The process of becoming a mafia member was complicated.
