Olaudah Equiano

Introduction
Olaudah Equiano was a West African who had been sold into slavery and transported across the Atlantic Ocean to a new life of servitude. In the New World, Equiano converted to Christianity and learned to read and write. Ultimately, he was able to secure his freedom and moved to London where he wrote and published an account of his life as a slave. Equiano's memoir is a rare piece of evidence providing us with the views of an enslaved West African.

Questions to Consider
•Why did Equiano say he would have preferred death to continued existence on the slave ship?

• How did Equiano find himself is such a terrible predicament? Did he seem to hold any grudge against his original captors?

The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo. These filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror, which I am yet at a loss to describe nor the then feelings of my mind. When I was carried on board I was immediately handled, and tossed up, to see if I were sound by some of the crew; and I was now persuaded that I had got into a world of bad spirits, and that they were going to kill me. Their complexions too differing so much from ours, their long hair, and the language they spoke, which was very different from any I had ever heard, united to confirm me in this belief. Indeed, such were the horrors of my views and fears at the moment, that, if ten thousand worlds had been my own, I would have parted with them all to have exchanged my condition with that of the meanest slave in my own country. When I looked around the ship too, and saw a large furnace or copper boiling, and a multitude of black people of every description chained together, every one of their countenances expressing dejection and sorrow, I no longer doubted of my fate; and, quite overpowered with horror and anguish, I fell motionless on the deck and fainted. When I recovered a little, I found some black people about me, who, I believed were some of those who brought me on board, and had been receiving their pay; they talked to me in order to cheer me, but all in vain. I asked them if we were not to be eaten by those white men with horrible looks, red faces, and long hair? They told me I was not; and one of the crew brought me a small portion of spirituous liquor in a wine glass; but, being afraid of him, I would not take it out of his hand. One of the blacks therefore took it from him, and gave it to me, and I took a little down my palate, which, instead of reviving me, as they thought it would, threw me into the greatest consternation at the strange feeling it produced, having never tasted any such liquor before. Soon after this, the blacks who brought me on board went off, and left me abandoned to despair. I now saw myself deprived of any chance of returning to my native country, or even the least glimpse of hope of gaining the shore, which I now considered as friendly; and I even wished for my former slavery, in preference to my present situation, which was filled with horrors of every kind, still heightened by my ignorance of what I was to undergo. I was not long suffered to indulge my grief; I was soon put down under the decks, and there I received such a salutation in my nostrils as I had never experienced in my life; so that, with the loathsomeness of the stench, and crying together, I became so sick and low that I was not able to eat, nor had I the least desire to taste any thing. I now wished for the last friend, Death, to relieve me; but soon, to my grief, two of the white men offered me eatables; and, on my refusing to eat, one of them held me fast by the hands, and laid me across, I think, the windlass, and tied my feet, while the other flogged me severely....

Industrial psychology.

I am supposed to desgin motivational intervention that improves job satisfaction, improves job performance, reduces job stress, and reduces turnover. This intervention can, and should, include multiple parts, as it’s unlikely that one change will provide a solution to all four problems.

- describe the intervention in detail. What changes will be made to the organization and/or the job itself? How will the intervention be implemented?

- Use at least three work motivation theories (can also use theories related to job stress and/or work attitudes and emotions) to explain why this intervention will improve job satisfaction, improve job performance, reduce job stress, and reduce turnover.

Spiritual development may be viewed in terms of both moral reasoning / decision making and moral emotions. Religious groups also often hold varied perspectives of emotional influence on moral decision making and religious practice ranging from a high emphasis on emotions and intuition to a de-emphasize or even rejection of emotions as valid. Discuss how various cognitive and physiological processes may affect morality as well as the role emotions play in morality and religious practice. Consider concepts of both positive and negative moral reasoning in your answer, and base your answer on the psychological concepts of emotions and morality presented in the textbook or other sources. Include an analysis of Acts 17:27-28 in your discussion.

Coffee drinking has transformed over the last twenty years from the thing that your parents did in the morning over breakfast to the trendy thing to do as a social exercise. Likewise, energy drinks like Red Bull and Rock Star have burst into the social zeitgeist with enthusiastic fans and consumers. As a society, how do you feel about the notion that we may be overstimulated? From the constant barrage of advertising to the Internet age of instant information, how does the seeing rampant consumption of caffeine add or detract from the society at large? Is it a good or bad thing? Should we be concerned or is this just a fad that will eventually fade away?
