Movement of Women: Trafficking of Women in the Interwar Era
The trafficking of people was a large issue in the 1920’s. Abolitionists opposed trafficking for the purpose of prostitution. Age issues became a large problem with this type of trafficking, blocking legislation in Europe, especially Britain.
Substance abuse, coping strategies, adaptive skills and behavioral and emotional problems in clients with mild to borderline intellectual disability admitted to a treatment facility: A pilot study
Intellectual disability can sometimes be directly related to drug or alcohol use by clients to treatment facilities. There are many variables in developing a substance related problem, such as gender, mindset, and situation. By measuring coping strategies, doctors can measure the seriousness of a client’s case. Emotional problems are best found out through the testing and observance of coping strategies. The small sample size of 39 clients was not enough to accurately measure full results.

Biography
Bruce Lee
(1940-1973)
Bruce Lee was born as Lee Jun Fan on November 27, 1940 in San Francisco, California. His father, a famous opera singer from Hong Kong moved the family to America in 1939, where he appeared in his first film at three months old as a stand-in for another baby. In 1941, after being in America for two short years, the family moved back to Hong Kong. As a child, Bruce appeared in around twenty films, this started at the tender age of six. In his teen years he joined a street gang and started studying kung-fu in 1953. He was sent back to America to live with family there after getting into trouble with the police.
He finished high school and majored in philosophy at the University of Washington. He got a job teaching martial arts to his peers. In this way he met Linda Emery, who he married in 1964. The couple moved to California, where Bruce opened two more martial arts schools. He mostly taught a style called Jeet Kune Do at this time. In the television show The Green Hornet, which aired from 1966-1967, Lee gained a bit of popularity. Afterwards he made guest appearances in Ironside, Longstreet, and most notably Marlowe. Now a family of four (including children Brandon and Shannon), they moved to Hong Kong.
He was the lead actor in Fists of Fury and The Chinese Connection, two immensely popular films in Hong Kong. Both, however, were reviewed poorly overseas in America. By late 1972, he was a star in Asia, and though he had not yet gained fame in America he would be when Enter the Dragon premiered. Unfortunately, Lee passed a month before it was revealed due to a brain edema caused by a painkiller he was using for a back injury. Much controversy surrounds his death.

Poem Assignment
Langston Hughes
1. All of the rivers Hughes mentions are in Africa, I believe he chose these rivers because he is referring to the roots of African Americans.
2. By saying “I am the darker brother” Hughes means that he is Black. He eats in the kitchen because Whites don’t think he contributes to anything other than labor and look down on him. Hughes knows that one day Blacks will get the rights they deserve by saying he’ll be able to eat at the table tomorrow. Hughes is connecting the way America treats Negroes to the way someone is sent away when company comes. His title “I, Too” is important because he too will be able to one day eat in the kitchen and he too will receive fair treatment.
3. Reserved
4. Hughes has a very deep way of writing that doesn’t rely on diction that is hard to understand. He uses writing that is easily understood and uses symbolism a lot. He shows blacks as a race of wisdom and experience. He rarely rhymes through his poems.
5. He wrote on how Blacks were put in all kinds of different cultures and influences but nothing specifically about themselves. I don’t think the same issues are revelant, there is Black History Month and several other holidays celebrating African American culture.
6. Hughes doesn’t really feel that Blacks need to be back in Africa, he feels that Blacks will gain respect in America. With that belief, he wants to change the thoughts of whites. He treat identity as precious, throughout his poems the reader can tell he is proud to be Black.
Claude McKay
1. The harlot is Egypt. Harlot means prostitute, McKay uses this word to describe how the country put itself out there for fame and fortune, not realizing that it was destroying itself by doing so.
2. Blacks are referred to as hogs, rounded up by offensive dogs that mock them. When I think of hogs I think of a lowly, dirty creature that isn’t good for anything but killing. The dogs are the whites, who keep the blacks in place. This is related to slavery because the dominant, numerous, and strong dogs control the helpless hogs.
3. McKay writes in an older style, occasionally using rhymes but not relying on it. I believe he tries to show intelligence by writing this way, intending for whites to read and see blacks as intelligent people.

You're the one that taught me right from wrong. You're the one that showed me how to work for what I want. You're the one that is around all the time. You're the one that made me who I am today. You're the one I wish to be like someday. I'm the one who admires you.
