"PATTERNS OF DISLOCATION
The Slave Trade Within Africa
The slave trade of the fifteenth through nineteenth centuries is known, in popular imagination, primarily for those parts of it in which Europeans or people of European descent participated directly. We can draw on vivid images of slave ships making the Middle Passage, or of slaves being sold on the block or working in the fields in the New World. But, though the kidnapping of Kunte Kinte figured in Roots, the African end of the slave trade is far less familiar.
Yet the slave trade was the principal export trade of sub-Saharan Africa through much of the slave-trading era. By the same token, the trade goods which European slavers brought in.."

Abstract
This paper discusses how history has traditionally taught students that the Atlantic slave trade was about the capture and torture of African people by Europeans and Americans over a 400-year period. The involvement of the African people in the sale of their own citizens to slave traders has only been explored in the last few decades. The paper further discusses how this is perhaps due to the fact that the realization that a nation would sell its own people in exchange for goods is almost unfathomable; yet, it is a realistic fact of the Atlantic slave trade. The reasons behind Africa's involvement in this manner include economics, fear and a struggle for power. Although some historians contend that these reasons expressed monumental concerns of the rulers of Africa, it is also apparent that not all rulers of the regions believed that selling their citizens was a just course for the nation.

From the Paper
"As the 19th Century began in the United States, thoughtful observers could not conclude that massive sectional conflict and civil war would occur within their lifetime. However, at that time, significant opposition to slavery first began. In the North, all states quickly outlawed the practice of slavery, and the idea of slavery in the United States soon fell under attack. The anti-slavery movement first began in the early part of the 19th century, and from the beginning, the movement was fragmented between abolitionists who favored freeing the slaves, and the colonizers, who wanted to send all the slaves back to Africa. Initially, the stronger movement was for colonization. William Lloyd Garrison, the prominent abolitionist, was once a supporter of the American Colonization Society, although he later left because he rejected the Society?s racism. Support for the colonization movement reflected the fears and prejudices of white Americans. Some whites supported Colonization as a just means to end slavery. However, whites also thought that blacks should not live in the United States because racism was an immutable characteristic of American Society. Furthermore, whites wanted blacks to leave because some whites thought that colonization would benefit whites economically. "

Abstract
This paper endeavours to explore the impact of the slave trade on West Africa. It examines how the historical injustices of the slave trade have undeniably affected West Africa detrimentally in the political, economic and social arenas. It details the recent discussions by leaders of nations historically involved in the slave trade as they determine what reparations can be made to the victims of this inhumane practice. It gives an historical overview of the slave trade in general and specifically in West Africa.
From the Paper
"Before embarking on the political, economic and social fallout of the slave trade on West Africa, it is important to give a brief description of this blight in history. From the middle of the 15th century, the Portuguese initiated the slave trade. They were followed by the Spaniards and at a lengthier period (1562) by the British. Then in rapid succession by the Dutch (approximately 1620), the French (approximately 1640), the Swedes, Danes and Prussians, before culminating in its most awful activities in the 18th century (Morel, E.D., 1920, 4). Foreigners conducted wholly unprovoked attacks on African villages and kidnapped the young people who were strong enough to work their sugar and coffee plantations as well as for domestic servitude in their homes. The export of Africans to the New World furnished the workforce for the colonial plantations and mines whose yield (gold, silver and, most importantly, sugar, cocoa, cotton, tobacco and coffee) were the principal components of global commerce (M?Bokolo, E., 1998, 2). The horror of the Africans being torn from their homes and their families is matched only by the horror of the number of Africans who perished in the course of transportation on the slave ships
??. the slaves could not turn around, were wedged immovably, in fact, and chained to the deck by the neck and legs?.not infrequently would go mad before dying of suffocation?.in their frenzy some killed others in the hopes of procuring more room to breathe?.men strangled those next to them, and women drove nails into each others? brains.? (Morel, E.D., 1920, 4)."

Abstract
This paper examines the historical facts of the slave trade in West Africa and its impact on the degradation of its society today. The paper illustrates how the European colonial slave trade affects current political, economic and social issues of the region.
From the Paper
"According to recent studies, approximately 24 million Africans were abducted forcibly from West Africa alone and enslaved (Centre for Black & African Arts & Civilisation, 2002, 1). This paper endeavours to explore the ?impact of the slave trade on West Africa.? The historical injustices of the slave trade have undeniably affected West Africa detrimentally in the political, economic and social arenas. The gravity of such a negative impact is what leaders of nations historically involved in the slave trade are discussing as they determine what reparations can be made to the victims of this inhumane practice."

From the Paper
"The practice of considering the proper elements of a good software design patterns plays an essential role to an easy development and maintenance of applications and systems. A good software design pattern provides a well-engineered architecture of programming commands and procedures in which the solution it brings encapsulates the universal solution of the problem it covers, thereby, making it a standard and applicable component to other software development tasks. A real design pattern also should allow the possibility of a community of developers to either fully utilize the same pattern or use the pattern as a solution reference applied with minimal changes."

Abstract
This essay discusses immigration, immigrants and migration patterns in Canada. The paper goes through historical newspapers from 1891 to 1960 and reports on what they said about immigration, immigrants and migration in Canada. The paper looks at the changing pattern of migration over the seventy year period that the newspaper articles span.
From the Paper
"Immigration, Immigrants and Migration Patterns in Canada Canada is a multinational country known for its diversity. For example, in The Regional Geography of Canada Robert M. Bone states, "Canada is a multicultural society with more than 200 ethnic groups recorded in the 2001 census". Most Canadians are so used to this level of diversity that they fail to recognize that it is a relatively recent development. When Canada was a young country it primary culture was extremely xenophobic. This meant that because foreigners were not well liked or widely accepted in Canadian society. This is because the majority of Canadians at this point were of British origin."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper proposes a research study to test two specific research hypotheses: (1) Children who live in families with hierarchical communication patterns will be more likely to view televised acts of violence positively than will children from families with open communication patterns and (2) children who live in families with hierarchical communication patterns will be more likely to engage in acts of violence than will children living in families with open communication patterns. The paper also discusses data analysis and anticipated results.
From the Paper
"In addition to the nine self-report attitudinal items on the survey, data regarding the gender, ethnicity, and family constellation of each respondent will also be collected. Specifically, the participating teacher will indicate these variables on each survey and will also identify the degree to which each respondent has engaged in verbally or physically aggressive and/or violent behavior in the classroom, using classroom records and school disciplinary referrals to identify the number and type of acting-out behaviors observed in the course of the present school year."

Abstract
This paper explores the patterns of maturation found in children's literature with reference to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. It finds that in modern children's literature the typical gender roles are reversed, with Harry acting on behalf of society (typically a female pattern) and Charlotte maturing as an individual (typically male pattern). Anne of Green Gables and Treasure Island are used to display the typical patterns.
From the Paper
"In children's literature gender roles have been laid quite clearly. These patterns exist from the early fairy tales to present day novels. Recently some authors have attempted to reverse the typical gender roles of characters; giving male protagonists more passive and nurturing characteristics, and females greater abilities to become active individuals. This is particularly apparent in stories about maturation."

Abstract
This paper discusses the idea of patterns according to Newman's theory. This paper reveals that according to Newman, the pattern as a whole provides knowledge of the small parts. This paper discusses the importance of these patterns as stressed by Newman, and others.
From the Paper
"Patterns, for Newman, are essential for understanding our experience. Patterns can provide insight and meaning into our lives because "the pattern of the whole already contains knowledge of the parts" (Newman, 2002, p. 3). It is through pattern that we can discover the meaning of our experience and our existence. The purpose of this paper is to identify the meaning of the patterns in the story of Miss N. Meaning is interrelated with pattern and one allows the other to be seen. "Meaning in a person's life is not only critical but a way of identifying pattern" (Newman, 2002)."

Abstract
The paper describes the different weather patterns focusing on storms. The paper deals with small-scale weather patterns, the causes of storms and the nine different types of storms. The paper concludes with a discussion on predicting storms.
From the Paper
"The primary weather producers in the middle latitudes are large centers of low pressure that generally move from west to east, called middle-latitude cyclones. Middle-latitude cyclones begin along a front where air masses are moving in opposite directions. The frontal surface usually takes on a wave shape, which becomes more defined as the cyclone matures, and a cold and a warm front evolve."

Abstract
This paper presents detailed descriptions of previous evidence and theory for neanderthal subsistence pattern of a scavenger plus an attempt to topple that theory in light of the new evidence at hand. This new evidence includes isotopic data that suggest a meat only diet and other studies that suggest wide spread active hunting through wear patterns on tools. These point to a subsistence pattern of a top level predator not that of a lowly scavenger.
From the Paper
"Of any ancient fossil hominid it?s a hands down, no contest winner for the prize of best known and understood1. Say ?Neanderthal?, and archaeologist and laymen alike would not have to work hard to conjure up the classical short stocky body frame, the indicative brow ridge and the protruding facial features of the Neanderthal people. But it is not all that simple, while we may have a plethora of faunal and lithic remains including those of the skeleton, the pictures of life style, diet, culture, and land use for example that these paint are not as complete as one might think. Often times the pictures one can paint from these remains are very cloudy take Neanderthal subsistence patterns and diet for instance. Neanderthal subsistence has been under heated controversy from its infancy. The two camps have their talons well immersed in the flesh of the faunal and lithic fossil records. The prevailing theory has been that Neanderthal subsistence and acquisition of foodstuffs as primarily a scavenging life style. However, in light of recent discoveries and new isotopic analysis a review of the lithic and faunal evidence is necessary and many are revising their previous theories. The picture is dramatically changing, isotopic data along with Neanderthal contemporaries at the KRM site in Africa are providing archaeologists with a picture of an organized people who were at the top of their environments trophic pyramid. Recent research on hominid strategies for meat procurement has focused on the interpretations of bones recovered from archaeological sites. Binford?s 1984 analysis of faunal collections from Middle Stone Age deposits of the Klasies River Mouth Cave in South Africa identified carnivore activity and hominid scavenging of carnivore kills as major sources of the large mammal remains at the early Late Pleistocene site. From the skeletal parts represented and patterns of cut-marks on the bones, Binford concluded, ?in short, there is nothing in the data from Klasies River Mouth to suggest technologically-aided hunting, or even tactical hunting, as such? (1984). Although this interpretation of the Klasies River Mouth fauna is disputed by Klein (1986), Binford?s conclusion has been extended to the whole of hominid subsistence prior to the Middle-Upper Paleolithic transition of the Late Pleistocene (Binford 1984). For the sake of argument and our purpose of substantiating Neanderthals as top-level hunters, Binford?s extension will serve to illustrate the faunal evidence for scavenging vs. hunting."

Migration Patterns, 2004.
An overview of the migration patterns of different populations in America throughout history.

Abstract
The Americas, since their discovery by Europeans, have existed as a destination for groups of people from a wide array of geographic and cultural backgrounds. This paper examines how migration patterns have depended largely upon economic, social, and political factors, both within America and worldwide. It looks at how internal economic conditions demanded the enormous volume of African slaves imported during the first four centuries of European colonization and how, by the 19th century, world events coupled with economic trends facilitated substantial immigration from Eastern Europe.
From the Paper
"The slave trade was as ancient as civilization itself by the time the Americas were discovered by Columbus; but as the European powers scrambled to maximize their power and wealth in this new world, slavery took on a new form. Agriculture quickly became the key to acquiring capital and ?in the 17th century it was discovered that sugar cane grew well in the West Indies, but growing it involved a huge number of workers.? Doubtlessly, too few settlers inhabited these lands to generate the workforce colonial powers demanded, so West African traders began to supply a constant flow of kidnapped slaves to the new world?thus, the infamous ?middle passage? was born."

"Patterns" by Amy Lowell, 2005.
This paper analyzes the poem "Patterns" by Amy Lowell, which illuminates a woman's search to find personal freedom and dignity under the patriarchal conditions of the 1940s and 50s.

Abstract
This paper explains that the poem "Patterns" by Amy Lowell is written in the first person with a nameless narrator presenting her reaction to the death of her lover. The author points out that, instead having this protagonist screaming and crying, Lowell creates a woman trying to keep the appearance of being calm thus creating a very dynamic character who is at war with herself as well as with society's expectations. The paper states that there is no particular meter in the poem and the lengths of lines vary greatly with some lines having as many as five times as many syllables as the line that follows them. The author concludes that the poem is told in such an intimate way with such variation in form that the reader can't help but appreciate all the ways that a pattern can be a prison.
From the Paper
"There are obviously feminist issues within this poem, because the narrator is a woman during an era of patriarchy. The poem also seems to pose questions about what it means to be feminine. In the Victorian age, the "feminine" physique was an hourglass figure, exaggerated - and sometimes created by - whalebone corsets and stiff fabrics such as brocade. The speaker describes wearing an outfit that causes her to have difficulty breathing, and high-heeled shoes that she is "tripping" in, rather than walking comfortably."
