The poem "This is the Dark Time My Love" describes a period of oppression in British Guyana's history when the country was pushing for independence from Britain. In response, Britain deported soldiers to subdue the calls for independence. The soldiers' presence caused fear among the people, who were afraid to advocate for their dream of an independent nation. Imagery in the poem depicts the soldiers trampling the land and flowers bowing their heads in sorrow over the country's turmoil. The poem shifts between describing the effect on the people and land under military occupation.Communication studies module one

This project analyzed the fairness of a coin toss through a series of experiments. Data was collected by tossing a coin 50 times under different conditions and recording whether it landed heads or tails. The results found the probability of each side landing face up was close to the theoretical 50% probability, demonstrating a coin toss is generally unbiased. While some individual trials showed slightly more of one side, overall the differences were small. The conclusion is that a coin toss can be used as a fair way to make a random selection.CAPE Accounting Internal Assessment SAMPLE

The document discusses establishing a cocoa processing industry in St. Lucia. It begins with an introduction stating that St. Lucia exports most of its cocoa while processing little locally. Expanding cocoa processing could create jobs and income. Research questions are posed about cocoa production, potential products, requirements to increase quality/quantity of processing, and benefits/difficulties of expanding processing. Interviews with employees from two hotels that process cocoa revealed details of their operations. One hotel processes 8 tons of cocoa beans annually and exports nearly all of it. The other grows cocoa on its estate and uses it primarily for pastries, amenities, and tours. Both see potential benefits but also challenges to larger-scale local processing in St. Lucia.Movements toward independence

1) In the 1930s, economic conditions in the Caribbean deteriorated severely, leading to widespread labor protests and strikes. Charismatic labor leaders emerged and transitioned to political leadership, advocating for better working conditions and social welfare. This helped give rise to Caribbean political parties.
2) Initially, the right to vote was restricted based on property ownership and wealth. Over time, suffrage expanded to include more of the male population. Movements in the late 19th century advocated for universal male suffrage.
3) As countries moved toward independence, they gained more control over domestic matters and the ability to self-govern politically and determine their own economic development path.Communication Studies IA Sample

This document discusses the location and definitions of the Caribbean region. It provides three main ways the Caribbean can be defined:
1) Geographically as the area washed by the Caribbean Sea, including islands and mainland territories. This definition has some anomalies as it includes places outside the typical association with the Caribbean like Panama.
2) Historically as the areas colonized by European powers like the English, French, Spanish and Dutch and that share the resulting cultural experiences. This best captures the region but ignores indigenous peoples.
3) Geologically as the Caribbean Plate, though this also defines some areas like Guyana and the Bahamas as outside the typical Caribbean region.

The document summarizes a student project that studied how soil moisture changes down a slope on the grounds of St. Mary High School in Jamaica. Soil samples were collected from three zones - the transfer, accumulation, and shedding zones. Testing found that the accumulation zone soil had the highest moisture content at 10% and highest organic content at 3.3%, while the transfer zone had 6.2% moisture and 0.69% organic content. Overall, the study found that soil properties vary between the different facets of the slope as predicted by the soil catena concept.Communication studies school based assessment, SBA

This document examines the relationship between law, morality, and religion. It aims to define these concepts and determine the influence of morality and religion on law. The document conducts research through primary sources like questionnaires and observations, as well as secondary sources from the internet, books, and dictionaries. It finds that in primitive societies, religion and morality strongly influenced the creation of laws. While the relationship is less obvious today, many fundamental legal principles are derived from religious rules. The document analyzes court cases to show how laws still uphold societal morals. It ultimately concludes that morality reflects and influences law, and that religion has historically provided a basis for both morality and legal systems.CXC CAPE Communication Studies-Language techniques

- 1. 1 The Boy Who Loved Ice Cream is about the ice cream that represented the loss of an object. Throughout the entire story Benjys aching love for ice cream, which he had never tasted, was described in vivid detail, you didnt chew it, but if you held it in your tongue long enough it vanished, leaving an after-trace that lingered and lingered like a beautiful dream. Alas, with such beautiful description, the reader empathized with the Benjys thirst for the unknown, and is devastated when his dream to taste ice cream is tragically destroyed because of the suspicious and jealous nature of his father. Senior also makes good use of symbolism in The Boy Who Loved Ice Cream where the ice cream represented the loss of an object. Throughout the entire story Benjys aching love for ice cream, which he had never tasted, was described in vivid detail, you didnt chew it, but if you held it in your tongue long enough it vanished, leaving an after-trace that lingered and lingered like a beautiful dream. Alas, with such beautiful description, the reader empathized with the Benjys thirst for the unknown, and is devastated when his dream to taste ice cream is tragically destroyed because of the suspicious and jealous nature of his father; Benjy is crying Papa Papa and everything is happening so quickly he doesnt know the point at which he loses the ice creamand he cannot understand why Papa has let go of his hand and shouting and why Mama isnt laughing with the man anymore. Senior illustrates the theme of relationships through Benjys eyes, allowing the message to be so much more powerful, as it is a clear glimpse of the society, seeing all the irrationalities and inequalities without bias. All of her characters are unique, and the reader becomes easily attached, cheering when they are victorious and sharing in every loss and pain.
