From the Paper
"With the growing number of two-parent workers and long hours spent at work, many people chose not to own pets because they did not have time enough to devote to them. Doggie day care has changed that. The business is growing phenomenally, and even corporations such as PetsMart now offer doggie day care services in addition to grooming and training. The industry started out small, with centers operated by local area entrepreneurs who saw a need and began to fill it by opening small centers where a few dogs could spend time together. As the idea caught on, more and more centers have opened, and at least one company, Central Bark, offers franchises throughout the country. Central Bark's website refers to dogs as "children" or "babies," something that is very consistent with many pet owners, who treat their pets as their surrogate children. This phenomenon is also growing, and is helping fuel the growth in all aspects of the pet care business. This doggie day care company recognizes this, and refers to their day care as "preschool" for pets, tapping into the emotional side of the pet care business, and attracting owners who treat their pets like children."

Abstract
While, rap music has its roots in the ghettos of the USA and black culture, it is now a full-scale industry that caters to the disenfranchised youth of America and bridges all gaps of culture and social levels. This paper examines the violent implications of rap music, including promiscuity and sexuality, and discusses whether it contributes to the growing trend of violence in America and throughout the world.
From the Paper
"Insights from street scripts echo and amplify the analyses of scholars seeking to understand and transform everyday slave mentalities and how they operate as obstacles to social justice. The concept of "dangerous Others," which was named and explicated by Dwight Conquergood (1992), is key to the ill-logic of modern-day slave mentalities. Focusing specifically on youth gangs, he notes that they "are constructed in public discourse as the cause, effect, and aberrant response to urban decay." Thus, other social forces and institutions are absconded from any responsibility."
