Dear Dr. Boutte,
Hello Dr. Boutte my name is [...]

Last week I learned how African American Criticism is important to Theology. I found out why African Americans are not considering Theology as a major. Some reason are that there is not enough money, the language, and delayed gratification. Even if they wanted to receive a PhD they would have to enroll in [...]

While reading through a couple of comments concerning my project and sitting down and evaluating the possible effects I would have by performing my project, I had a change of heart. A comment by Dr.Homan and deannawalker made me realize how rather vague my project attempt would be. I realized there’s only so much I [...]

Some of the problems that I finf troublesome in the world have been proven to be basically on the same page as my views, as far as when I asked people on campus. We all came to the consensus that diseases amongst African American people are one of the bigger issues that are at [...]

Well, I think my project is going along pretty well, just a little slower than what I expected. I have all of my paper work turned in to the proper people, but I’m still waiting on several more approvals from the president of the university, our advisor, the dean of students, as well as [...]

In this weeks blog, we were suppossed to show statistics on our problem that we are trring to fix, which is cultural ignorance. Now after doing research on the internet, I decided not to use the results I found. I have never been a huge fan of taking statistics from other people’s surveys or whatever [...]

In regards to my project, which was have a culture month here on campus, I have some things I need to finish up, but it is moving along.

Week Five:
The patriarchs and matriarchs of the bible were very twisted they killed the deceived and key destroyed. For most this way of life is one condemned straight for hell, but for these people they were fighting for their families their blood lines, and their people. A noble cause, they embody the saying “Quitters [...]

In genesis God created light, darkness, firmament, water, and dry land. Soon there came animal life to the sea and are after that to the land. God created man from the dirt and breathed life into his nostrils. The Enuma Elish is all different first off there is more than one god, and the key [...]

When reading the comments that people posted on my blog, I was very happy to see that people were actually keen on the idea of learning about other cultures. It made me really want to do a great job on having a culture month here at Xavier University. I have in the past traveled to [...]

After doing an extensive search on my topic I have come up with some valid statistics. Hopefully these statistics will help young people see the seriousness in these diseases. In one article I read from USA Today, it said that the known Chlamydia cases in the U.S. have topped over one million. Many of these [...]

Upon researching for statistics regarding poverty, I have become aware that the poverty situation in today’s world is a lot worse than I assumed. For instance, statistics indicate that there are 1 Billion children homeless in the world. This is out of a ratio of two Billion children in the world. This in [...]

My project is coming along fine. I took the advice from some of my comments on trying to boycott the gas stations for a day. Instead of me trying to boycott all of the gas stations and making sure no one else from xavier is using the gas stations either, I will try [...]

I was looking at some number of how many African Americans actually vote. The number actually was very high the last time there was a presidential election. More than half of the general population of African Americans voted. So that means that they are really taking their lives seriously and understanding that who is in [...]

Currently, my project is in its adolescent form with many obstacles that are slowing down its development just a little. So far, my project has had its share of ups and downs. There have been a couple of changes. They agreed they would let me use the clubhouse for three hours. They also allowed me [...]

My project of preventing our future generation from being promiscuous stems from the staggering amount of teenage pregnancy in our country. According to stayteen.org, the United States has the most teenage pregnancy in the world. I cannot be the only person that believes that this is wrong. Do we really want to [...]

God’s Home in the Bible was referred to as the Tabernacle. This home, which resembled a potable tent, is where God “lived” while He was on earth during the era of Moses. These grounds were very sacred and only specially appointed priests were allowed to enter at certain times. Sacrifices were made for God within [...]
