The reason that Ron Finley makes the statement is because he has been involved in improving his community, working through his nonprofit foundations.

Finley's statement and community work exemplify the <em>seven principles in Maulana Karenga's "Nguzo Saba"</em> in the following ways:

  • For a start, the principles of Nguzo Saba (Swahili) enumerate the values of African culture.  These principles were enunciated by Professor Maulana Karenga as part of her contribution to the building and reinforcement of community culture among African-Americans.

  • <u>Unity: </u>The first principle of Nguzo Saba shows that in unity a community survives.  Ownership of property is not to be regarded as exclusive to the individual owner's use, just as Finley was able to freely donate his garden for education.

  • <u>Self-determination: </u> Finley recognizes that to change the community, determination is required.

  • <u>Collective Work: </u> Finley believes that the work of changing the community does not belong to one person.  It is a collective responsibility.

  • <u>Cooperative economics:</u> Finley, like Maulana, believes that profitability should be shared in the community.

  • <u>Purpose:</u> Finley believes in total transformation, of the individual and the community.  That was why he allowed his garden to become a tool for transformation.  Everybody must work for a purpose.

  • <u>Creativity:</u>  To make change happen, we should think outside the box by changing the composition of the soil.

  • <u>Faith:</u>  Nothing can be achieved without faith.  Ron Finley agrees with the Professor.

Thus, the garden, our society, our community needs transformation.  This must be done with collective efforts.

Why might some people on both sides of the Atlantic have worried in 1650 that order was breaking down
Andrei [34K]

Many on both sides of the Atlantic may have worried that order was breaking down by the 1650’s due to the burgeoning Atlantic Slave Trade. At its beginning in the 1500’s African imports were often merely indentured servants- this changed drastically by the mid-1600’s. By that time Africans (and their offspring) were seen as mere property to their owners and were often harshly worked in deadly climates with no regard for the slaves’ safety.

Also, significant political unrest in Europe (particularly England, Scotland, and Ireland) waged after the execution of Charles I. This had an effect on the American colonies as well as they were under British rule with an increasing number of African slaves being imported.

Presentations should use analytical appeals rather than emotional appeals.
Schach [20]
It depends on the subject matter of the presentation. If persuasion is your goal, then use emotional appeals, but if you're simply trying to present for the purpose of informing, then analytical is the way you should go. <span />
