    Into Oblivion: A Study of Carl Jung's Archetypes in John Howard Griffin's Black Like Me

    No full text
    Carl Jung believed that dreams offer solutions to the conscious mind and helped restore our psychic equilibrium. Jung also believed in an inherited collective, universal, and impersonal psychic system. John Howard Griffin, in his 1960 book, Black Like Me, darkens his skin in order to cross the color line and experience what life is like for African Americans in the southern parts of the United States. The characteristics of Griffin’s recollection of experiences as a Black man in the south are familiar to that of a dream (confusion, anxiety and fear). For the purpose of this study, Griffin’s voyage into Blackness in order to truly understand what African Americans face in the racially hostile South is considered as dream, and therefore Jung’s archetypes are applied to various aspects of Griffin’s story to examine America’s racial landscape as a dystopia that exists in the unconscious, collective American psyche

    A taxonomy for financial services selling

    No full text
    The financial services industry accounts for almost half of the country’s non-farm, commercial profit, making the industry a major driver of the economy. Prior to this study, limited information was available to evaluate financial services sales activities, and a taxonomy of sales activities for individuals in the financial services industry had not previously been conducted. Prior empirically developed sales taxonomies did not include service firms and specifically financial services, while focusing on manufacturing and other product sales. Given that taxonomies are a critical step in scientific inquiry, this is a major limitation in the literature hindering the development of a better understanding of this important industry. Using an established methodology and a seminal sales taxonomy, a financial services sales taxonomy was conducted. Results reflect that financial services sales positions differ from those in other industries. Six sets of sales activities (factors) along with six job positions (clusters) were identified. Keywords: Taxonomy, Sales Activities, Financial Services, Cluster Analysi

    LET US BREAK BREAD TOGETHER

    My undergraduate choral professor, Dr. David H. Williams, was one of my most significant mentors. He wrote at least 5 spirituals, unpublished in his own hand. I worked with his widow to obtain the original scores and permissions.Lion & Lamb Publishing's mission is "Equity through choral excellence." They saw the authenticity in these and offered to publish them with me as editor. Because of the number of publications they suggested we turn this into a series under my name, to also acknowledge me as editor. These are the first white contributions to their historically black catalogue

    Improved bounds for relaxed graceful trees

    No full text
    We introduce left and right-layered trees as trees with a specific representation and define the excess of a tree. Applying these ideas, we show a range-relaxed graceful labeling which improves on the upper bound for maximum vertex label given by Van Bussel \cite{VB}. For the case when the tree is a lobster of size mm and diameter dd, the labeling produces vertex labels no greater than 32m12d\frac{3}{2}m-\frac{1}{2}d. Furthermore, we show that any lobster TT with mm edges and diameter dd has an edge-relaxed graceful bipartite labeling with at least max{3md+64,5m+d+38}\max\{\frac{3m-d+6}{4},\frac{5m+d+3}{8}\} of the edge weights distinct, which is an improvement on a bound given by Rosa and \v{S}ir\'{a}\v{n} \cite{RS} on the α\alpha-size of trees, for d5m+197d\frac{5m+19}{7}. We also show that there exists an edge-relaxed graceful labeling (not necessarily bipartite) with at least max{34m+dν8+32,ν}\max\left\{\frac{3}{4}m+\frac{d-\nu}{8}+\frac{3}{2},\nu\right\} of the edge weights distinct, where ν\nu is twice the size of a partial matching of TT. This is an improvement on the gracesize bound from \cite{RS} for certain values of ν\nu and dd. We view these results as a step towards Bermond's conjecture \cite{Bermond}
