Malaysian Market For Sago Palm

Malaysian Market For Sago PalmIn this chapter, we provide address the stress of Malaysia market for sago. The discussion of the market harps of production, consumption, export and expense. To infrastand about sago, we will eldest briefly discuss on sago palm, sago stiffen and sago treat.1.1 Sago PalmSago palm or Metroxylon sagu is a crop that produces stiffen for victuals and non- aliment affect industries. Sago palm is widely cultivated in Sarawak with more than 60,000 hect are of eye socket recently. Commercial polish field of force for sago palm was increase from 43 hectare in 1988 to 10,700 hectare in 1996 and the remaining was cultivated by smallholders. In social class 2000, there are 21 sago affect jells which produced around 60,000 atomic be 109 of sago amylum. In west Malaysia, sago palm civilisation is withal small with however 2 sago processing plant operated in Johor.1.2 Sago stiffenMost of sago stiffen that been produced in Sarawak is used in we st Malaysia (almost 30,000 thyroxin). Sago overly been exported as high quality food for thought topical anestheticise amylum and low quality assiduity govern starch. exporting for food step starch was change magnitude from 3,600 tonne in 1985 to 11,000 tonne in 1995 while export for indus quiz grade starch was fall from 8,400 tonne in 1985 to 5,100 tonne in 1995. The major destinations for sago starch export are Japan, Singapore, United Kingdom, Taiwan, Canada, southwestern Korea, bran-new Zea field and Thailand.1.3 Sago touchSago PalmSago palm took 10 to 15 days to be matured. When sago palm is matured, it will be felt passel so that its physical anatomical structure can be cut. Sago palm has a spacious remains, upright, r from each unrivalledes a height of 10-12 meters, with the contents of the soft and contain high starch content. It is a staple food source for indigenous people in Sabah and Sarawak, including ethnic Bisaya, and Melanau.Sago LogSago trunk is cut into section with each section is 75 cm to 90 cm long. This section is known as sago log. Every sago trunk ease up around 10 to 12 sago log. Then, these sago logs will be tied together in the multifariousness of rafts and tugged by boats to sago processing plant through river. Sometimes, these sago logs are carried by lorry to sago processing plant.Processing Sago StarchProcessing of sago starch is through in the sago processing plant. In the sago extraction process, the sago logs are first debarked, followed by maceration utilise a rasper. Newer types of raspers crap eliminated the need for debarking. The sago chips resulting from the maceration process are and then further disintegrated exploitation a hammer mill. The starch slurry is then passed through a series of outward-moving sieves to remove the coarse fibres. Cyclone separators are then used to extract the starch which is then dried using a rotary vacuum drum drier, followed by hot air drying.1.4 Malaysia Mark et for Sago first department of Agriculture, Sarawak. unpolished Statistics of SarawakFrom table 1.4, we can fulfil how the instruction and the status of sago industries in Malaysia were. The number framing shows repulsion in the export of sago starch forevery single year. Thus, it is influenced by the current economic climate.We can see that the figure of the add up export of sago starch are not really consistence compared to its price which is leaving high all the appearance breaking from the year of 1993 until it reaches its highest price in the year 1998. The year after, the figure shows that the price is going down. Even though, the full(a)ity of production was increase in 2002 and 2003. The lowest price ever was in year 1993 where it was only around RM584 per tonne for industry grade starch and RM596 per tonne for food grade starch. The highest price was RM915 per tonne for industry grade starch and RM 897 food grade starch in the year 1998 a year after the economi c erosion occurs.From the view of total export step and production, Malaysia produced the highest quantity of sago starch back in the year 1995 where it reaches its highest possible production with exported quantity up to 45,130.96 tonne for food grade starch and 4,816.43 tonne for industry grade starch. The lowest total production was in the year 1997 where only 27,285.50 tonne of food grade starch and 5,121.83 tonne of industry grade starch were exported the same year when the economic erosion occurs.If referred to the net export revalue, the biggest amount is during the sago price recorded its highest price which is in year 1998. The amount is RM5, 638,142. Meanwhile, the lowest export value was in year 1993 with the net total of export value is RM2, 314,787.CHAPTER 2 CURRENT POLICIES DESCRIPTION2.0 IntroductionThis chapter will discuss the agricultural policies relevant to sago providing an accurate, clear understanding of the policies affecting the market for sago and its pro duct. There are 4 policies that relevant to sago consist of policies by the Malaysia governing (federal) and Sarawak government (state).2.1 Sarawak Policy on Sago orchard (Before NAP3)The Sarawak government is trying to pioneer the refinement of sago on a plantation scale, trying to tap 20th century agricultural technology and big organisational structure to grow this supposedly wonder crop. The aim of sago plantations is the application of modern, scientific agricultural technology and a big unveilingal organisation, to exploit the cultivation of sago that has thus far been cultivated in a very naif and semi-wild fashion.This is the first attempt at growing sago on a plantation scale anywhere in the universe of discourse. Since the clone material and plantation technology for sago palm conduct not been established by surreptitious entrepreneurs, Sarawak government had wear outed the policies to cultivate sago palm on a plantation scale. With proper drainage, maintenance a nd fertiliser in plantation, sago palm will mature faster. This will increase the productivity of sago palm which return starch to the topical anaesthetic and international market.2.2 Third National Agricultural Policy (NAP3) on Sago (1998-2010)In NAP3, sago is fallen under the group of innovative product and future industries. The form _or_ system of government objective for this group isTo break up innovative products and new industries which will provide source for the information of land in the futureThe strategies for this insurance areTo modify the economy baseTo generate and encourage private sector participationTo reduce cost and increased productivity, commercial sago cultivation in large scale by private sector has been promote. This has been done completely by private sector and in collaboration with government subsidiaries. Infrastructures and basic facilities have been provided by the government to support the production of sago by private sector. Furthermore, cultivation with high quality seeds and better agronomy practices has been done to increase the productivity of sago smallholders.Sago cultivation has been encouraged on peat soil area in Sarawak due to the adequate of this crop with peat soil. This is the best way to use peat soil area in natured way. Production of value-added sago based products have been implemented to wider the market opportunities. The products include modified sago starch, sorbitol, dextrin and ascorbic acid. look into and development on both upstream and downriver activities for sago has been strengthen. The activities includeBreeding high quality crops materialFarm managementProcessing technologyNew products developmentUsage of side products including wasted materials and sago scrapsSago smallholders have been encouraged to wider their nurture through institution support. Research and market encouragement for sago starch and another(prenominal) sago products have been stressed due to strengthen the br ea social function market and venture the new market. Sago processing plants have been encouraged to practice quality watch management. investment and strategic raw material gain for upstream industry has been encouraged. This is to sustain the supply of sago in the industry. To control the wasted materials and sago scraps, pollution control management has been implemented.2.3 Sarawak Policy on Sago (Based on NAP3)Sarawak Policy on Sago has been formulated, think and developed from NAP3 by Ministry of Modernisation of Agriculture Sarawak (MoMA). The policy is for sago starch-based product industry as a electric potential industry and sago as a crop industry.For sago starch-based product industry as a potential industry, the policy objective isTo explore new frontier industry which might have substantial return to the local producers and the economyThe strategies for this policy areTo encourage private sector participationTo intensify research and development on sago starch prod uct developmentFor sago as a crop industry, the policy objective isTo develop and expand sago industry and exploit the opportunities of market of sago and sago starch-based productsThe strategies for this policy areTo assist smallholder in planting sago using mini estate approachTo encourage private sector participation in planting and processing of sago2.4 Ninth Malaysia Plan Policy on SagoUnder the Ninth Malaysia Plan, sago is one of the crops that included in land consolidation and rehabilitation. Land consolidation and rehabilitation will be continued on a big scale to accelerate the modernisation of smallholdings as well as increase productivity of the crops.CHAPTER 3 physical objectObjectiveTo determine Sago cultivation area in SarawakTo determine policy implication on Sago industry in SarawakTo determine the changes of policy in Sago industryCHAPTER 4 POLICY ANALYSIS4.0 IntroductionIn this chapter, we will consider the effects of policy that have been discussed in the prev ious chapter. The policy that we will analyze here is the Sarawak Policy on Sago based on NAP3.4.1 Effects on Sago finishing Area harmonise to Chew, Abu Hassan Isa and Mohd. Ghazali Mohayidin (1999), the aim of sago plantations is the application of modern, scientific agricultural technology and a large-scale institutional organisation, to exploit the cultivation of sago that has thus far been cultivated in a very primitive and semi-wild fashion. With commercial planting on large scale have been encouraged through the policies, the sago cultivation area was increased. The estimated area for sago cultivation in 1998 is 45,000 ha and it increased to 60,700 ha in 2000 (Third National Agricultural Policy, 1998)Since year 2000, the estimated area for sago cultivation in Sarawak is over 60,000 ha and slowly increased from year to year. The increment of sago cultivation area in Sarawak from year 2000 to 2004 is shown as below (Ministry of Modernisation of Agriculture Sarawak, 2005). year2 0002001200220032004Hectares (ha)60,70961,52362,14163,05362,308% compared to other crops7.87.67.37.16.7Table 4.1 Estimated Area for Sago CultivationSource Ministry of Modernisation of Agriculture Sarawak, 2005Even though the area for sago cultivation is increased in term of hectares, precisely in term of percentage compared to other crops, sago cultivation is decreased. The policies might be effective to increase the area of sago cultivation, but the increment is rather too slow compared to other crops especially oil palm.Figure 4.1.1 Sago Cultivation Area in SarawakSource Ministry of Modernisation of Agriculture Sarawak, 2005Figure 4.1.2 Percentage of Sago Cultivation Area Compared to some other Crops in SarawakSource Ministry of Modernisation of Agriculture Sarawak, 20054.2 Effects on Sago Starch Export and Starch consequenceThe highest sago starch export was in 1998 with 46,518.43 tonne of sago starch was exported and the value of it was RM41, 855,722 with price per tonne is R M897 for food grade starch and RM915 for industry grade starch (Craun Research Sdn Bhd, 2004). After 1998, the sago starch export decreased making the worst export value was in year 2000 with only 36,382.78 tonne was exported and the value of it was RM29,782,916 with price per tonne is RM830 for food grade starch and RM766 for industry grade starch. This might be derived from the price drop of starch in world market.The effects of the policies were only been seen after year 2000 where the export value of sago starch increased every year starting from year 2001 to 2004. Only in year 2003, the export value was decreased by RM55,000. The export value of sago starch from year 1998 to 2004 is shown as below (Ministry of Modernisation of Agriculture Sarawak, 2005).Year1998199920002001200220032004Export Value(RM000)42,18236,45029,78330,68032,16532,11037,020Table 4.2.1 The Export Value of Sago StarchSOURCE Ministry of Modernisation of Agriculture Sarawak, 2005 bit exporting sago starch, Mal aysia still has to merchandise other starch due to local consumption. In year 1997, estimated total production of sago starch in Malaysia is 60,000 tonne with almost 30,000 was used for local consumption (Third National Agricultural Policy, 1998). In 1998, the import value of starch was RM552,000 made it was the highest import value for starch.With local demand for starch is good for food and non-food industries, the policies were able to support the supply of starch in local market. It helps to reduce the import value of starch in 1999 to RM55,000. From this year, the import value of starch per year was going up and down where in year 2000 there is no starch was imported. The import value of starch from year 1998 to 2004 is shown as below (Ministry of Modernisation of Agriculture Sarawak, 2005).Year1998199920002001200220032004Import Value(RM000)552551340457157Table 4.2.2 The Import Value of StarchSource Ministry of Modernisation of Agriculture Sarawak, 2005Figure 3.2 Export Value of Sago Starch and Import Value of Starch from 1998 to 20044.3 Effect on Sago Research Involvement accord to Chew, Abu Hassan Isa and Mohd. Ghazali Mohayidin (1999), there was no private group and only two government centres persisting out research on sago in Malaysia. Researches on sago are of import to avoid the extinction of sago industry in Malaysia.When the policies were implemented, Land handcuffs and Development Authority of Sarawak (PELITA) have formed Craun Research Sdn Bhd to carry out research and development on sago. Craun Research Sdn Bhd was once lead by former Sarawak MARDI Director, Mr. Yusup Bin Sobeng.The policies also encouraged local universities to carry out research on sago. With UPM already carry out researches on sago before the policies UNIMAS have coupled them to do more researches on sago. Recently on 4 August 2006, UNIMAS signed an MOU with New deoxycytidine monophosphate Fermentation Research Co. Ltd. (NECFER) of Fukoka to enable both institutions t o cooperate and collaborate in the establishment of the fermentation parameters and structural set-up in a joint research and development endeavour on sago starch fermentation for large-scale production of ethanol and lactic acid.4.4 Effects on Private Sector Involvement in Sago PlantationPresently, sago is great(p) in Sarawak as a smallholders crop (Chew, Abu Hassan Isa and Mohd. Ghazali Mohayidin, 1999). When Land Custody and Development Authority of Sarawak (PELITA) started the development of two sago plantations Dalat Sago Plantation and Mukah Sago Plantation, several private companies in Sarawak got the initiative to involve in sago industry. With the policy encouraged private sector participation in planting and processing of sago, the numbers of private companies involve in sago plantation and processing had increase.Now, private companies which involve in sago industry have their own association for the benefits of members in the industry. Sarawak Sago Manufacturers Associ ation is the well known sago companies association in Sarawak. It is joined by inheritable Seng Ngeng Sons Sago Industries Sdn BhdNitsei Sago Industries Sdn BhdSong Ngeng Sago Industries (EM) Sdn BhdC. L. Nee Sago Industries Sdn BhdGrand Safeways (S) Sdn BhdIgan Sago Industries Sdn Bhd4.5 Effects on Traditional Sago Starch ProductionBefore the policy was introduced, there were 11 modern sago processing plants in Sarawak which had fixed assets and equipment valued around RM2-RM5 one thousand thousand (Chew, Abu Hassan Isa and Mohd. Ghazali Mohayidin, 1999). The policy helps to increase this number to 21 modern sago processing plant in year 2000. The increasing number of modern sago processing plant had slowly replaced the production of traditional sago starch called lemantak with high quality, dry sago flour.4.6 Effects on Sago Starch Contribution in World Starch MarketIn the world market, sago starch has to compete with other starch such as maize starch, potato starch, manioc star ch and wheat starch. According to ISO skillful Committees (2005), the world starch output was estimated to be 48.5 million tons in year 2000. Below is the total export value (in USD) for starches in world market based on type of starches between years 2000 to 2002 (ISO Technical Committees, 2005).200020012002Wheat Starch79,299,18866,494,94571,158,617Maize Starch247,354,215254,598,496250,744,561Potato Starch186,513,628192,451,543189,591,770Cassava Starch155,221,419146,818,27027,307,528 other Starch44,592,79242,295,98342,245,903Table 3.6 Export Value (USD) for Starches in World MarketSource ISO Technical Committees, 2005 another(prenominal) starch in table 3.6 refers to barley starch, rice starch, sago starch and waxy xaize starch. Though the export value of other starch is decreased from year 2000 to 2002, it was only 5% reduction compared to 82% reduction of cassava starch. However, the percentage or reduction for other starch including sago starch is higher than wheat starch, maiz e starch and potato starch.The policy to develop and expand sago industry in Malaysia helps to make Malaysia been acknowledged as one of the main exporter for starch in the world market. Malaysia also been acknowledged as the highest sago starch exporter in the world (ISO Technical Committees, 2005).CHAPTER 5 POLICY IMPLICATIONSThis chapter will discuss the positive and negative aspects of the policies analyzed in the previous chapter. The discussion demonstrates a close relationship between the analysis in the previous chapter and the implications drawn in this chapter about the positive and negative aspects of the policies analyzed.5.1 Positive AspectsFirst positive aspect, the policies embroil the sago cultivation to be increased. With 1.69 million hectares of peat soil in Sarawak, the policies had increased the sago cultivation area. This was due to the encouragement of private sector participation in sago plantation and the assistant of smallholder in planting sago using mini estate approach. Private sectors will not just focusing to oil palm plantation in term of the land usage in Sarawak. Even though sago is less profitable compared to oil palm, the policies which imply government support in sago cultivation helps to involve private sector in sago cultivation.Second positive aspect, the policies implicate the export and import of starch in Malaysia. With current consumption of starch in Malaysia is estimated around 100,000 tonne per year, the policies help to increase the supply of starch for local consumption. More than half of sago starch is been exported because of its high value as food grade starch and industry grade starch. This is more profitable than using it for local consumption. However, the usage of sago starch for local consumption still can support the local demand where the import value of starch in Malaysia is far too small (below RM80,000 from year 2001) compared to the export value of sago starch.Third positive aspect, the policies im plicate the sago researches troth in Malaysia. The policies help to increase the number of government subsidiaries and private group involvement in sago researches and development. The researches for the most part focus on increasing its starch yield, reducing the gestation period of sago and reducing the cost of sago production. quaternate positive aspect, the policies implicate the income of sago smallholders. With most of sago palm is cultivated by smallholders, the policies help to increase their income. Most of sago farmers are having income from non-sago agricultural activities or from off-farm employment. This is because sago palm has the gestation period of 10 to 15 years which considered as too long to generate income. The policies are focusing on economic strategies in planting sago at farm level where the farmers can maximize the profit in sago cultivation.Fifth positive aspect, the policies implicate the collaboration between federal government and state government. Wi th agriculture as the third instrument to generate Malaysias economy, the policies play an important role in developing the abundant crop such as sago. The federal government creates policies to develop sago cultivation for the state government. Then the state government will innovatively formulate, plan and develop the policies to be implemented. The policies consist of budget and land for sago cultivation.Finally, the policies ensured sago not to be abundant and will be developed to support the agriculture industry as well as other industries in Malaysia.5.2 Negative AspectsFirst negative aspect, the policies implicate the manipulation of private companies in sago industry. Most of private companies that involve in planting and processing sago have their own association to protect their importance in the industry. They might control the price of sago section (sago trunk which is cut to yield its starch) and the fee for transportation to factories. When this happened, the sago smal lholders might gain small profit or flush worst they gain loss.Second negative aspect, the policies implicate the traditional value of sago processing. With the number of modern sago processing plant is increased, the traditional, small-scale cottage mills which produce a type of inferior wet sago called lementak for the local markets are slowly being wiped out. The Melanau community especially will slowly lose their traditional way in processing sago.Finally, the policies are considered not very effective in developing sago industry. This can be seen in the small increment of sago cultivation area for the past 5 years compare to other crop in Malaysia.CHAPTER 6 CONCLUSIONSEven though, sago is considered by many plant scientists, especially Japanese scientists, as the starch crop of the 21st century (Jong, 1995), the present method of cultivation of sago palm shows that it is currently grown using very primitive agricultural technology. Sago is at present grown essentially as a sma llholder crop, producing low yields with minimal maintenance and zero fertilization. Current methods of cultivation in Sarawak is not that much diametric from what had occurred through the millennium and what is occurring now in the virgin, unexplored jungles of Papua New Guinea.The policy was implemented and sago industry also given impotency in Sarawak region. The cultivation area was showing increment and the yield as well, at the same time Malaysia market and world market for sago also increase. We found every policy try their level best to develop the sago industry from cultivation up to market it. Now they also start focus in research and development (RD), which will improve the sago industry.The sago plant lot of RD, to improve the plant and make it more economically profit. In sago industry there need two important thing need to improve. Make sure the plant produce high starch or high yield and decrease the gestation period that is from 10 to 15 years to 5years. The yield c an be modify by good plant materiel and good plant demeanor as well. This can only be achieved by a prolonged, sustained research program in plant selection and breeding work. The spectacular improvements in the yield of oil palm and its maturity period in Malaysia were achieved by a similar long-term research program, undertaken by a wide variety of governmental and private groups, set-back in the 1900s (Hartley, 1967).Unfortunately, there are currently no private groups carrying out research on sago in Malaysia. In fact, there are now only two government centers, the Dalat Sago Research Station and CRAUN (Crop Research and Application Unit, Lembaga Pembangunan dan Lindungan Tanah, Sarawak or PELITA), carrying out research on sago cultivation. The amount of research resource devoted to sago is distinctly inadequate for the monumental task of converting sago from its present semi-wild status to a modern clone with high yields, scant(p) maturity periods and responsiveness to fer tilizers. The proper management and good care to sago will improve Sarawak Sago industry and the policy will make the sago as golden crop of Sarawak.

An introduction to European cuisine

An introduction to atomic number 63an cuisineatomic number 63 is a continent which is bordered by the Arctic ocean to the north, to the west lies the Atlantic Ocean, the Caucasus plentys and the Caspian sea and Black sea forms the southeast boarders,the Ural mountains and the Ural River is positi iodined in east of Europe and to the south lies the Mediterranean Sea. Europe stands as the worlds second smallest continent in relation to its size .Population wise Europe is the second biggest continent afterward Asia. European history is very vast which begins from the Bronze Age with large cultural and economic achievements. Ancient Greeks marks the origin of western civilization and the Roman Empire spanned the entire continent for several centuries. With the decline of the Roman Empire Europe entered a long period of stasis known as the Dark Ages, which came to end with the rise of Renaissance and New Monarchs, which began the period of exploration, breakthrough and increase in t he scientific knowledge. A large colonial conglomerate was built by the European nation at the 15th century, peculiarly France, Britain, Spain and Portugal with enormous holding in Asia, Africa and the Americas. With the rise of the Industrial Revolution in Europe at the 18th century, created strikinger general prosperity and alike increase in the population. With the end of World war two and manger the end of cold war two major political and efficient blocks divided the Europe which was the Capitalistic countries in the Western Europe and the commie nations in the Eastern Europe. Presently geographic Europe comprises 45 countries.The European climate remains temperate and mild, with cool summers and cold winters. Generally, if we compargon varied places on the same latitude with places on the same latitude in Europe, we would notice that places in Europe have a more booming climate than places elsewhere in America, Asia or Africa. If we comp be the average January temperatu res of Berlin, Calgary and Irkutusk- manu eventure in the Asian realm of Russia, we would notice that the temperature in Berlin is about 8 and 22 degrees Celsius higher than temperatures in Calgary and Irkutusk respectively. The main reason for this climate winds from the Atlantic Ocean. Warm winds sweep the whole continent and keep the continent gently warm. Ocean currents carrying warm waters from the Gulf of Mxico have a major role in this essential phenomenon. Since there is not mountain barrier in Europe, which is large enough to stop these winds from sweeping crossways the continent, and since most of the continent is within the range of 300 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, these currents put on the climatic conditions of the whole continent. Therefore, Europe climate is quite the same passim the continent. Northern Europe climate, naturally, has longer and cooler winters compared to the southern part of the continent. Winters are colder and longer in the East as compared to the west. Summers are shorter, but gamyter in the East as we move towards the west.As far as rainwater is concerned, most parts of Europe receive an annual rainfall of 20-60 inches, with the uttermost of it happening towards the West of the mountains (around 80 inches in general). The areas receiving lighter rainfall embroil the Southern part of Spain, Kazakhstan and northern part of Scandinavia.It is for a reason that Europe fetches the maximum number of tourers in a year- its warm people and great natural beauty, coupled with aesthetic modernity. It is a soundly known fact that almost each and every country that comes under the European region has major tourist hubs, which attract customers from all over the world. Not merely people from other(a) continents, but people from within Europe overly travel to the discordant tourist destinations in Europe.The tourism industry excessively plays a major role in the economic stability of the European nations, and this is the sole reason as to why the governments have spent a massive amount of time and money in keeping various tourist places in Europe clean and updated. The climatic conditions and the exceptionally well connected airline services make traveling in Europe, a piece of cake. The ancient medieval history, coupled with or so great past monuments, palaces, churches and alleys have made tourist places in Europe a hot favorite among tourists of all age groups, backgrounds and nationalities.France attracts most of the tourist influx in Europe. From the Louvre and the Eiffel tower to the Notre dam Cathedral and the Champs ET Lyse, almost every tourist spot in France, especially in Paris, has become a typic of the most visited places of the world. The Arc of Triumph, the Garnier Opera and the Gallo-Roman amphitheatre are some of the other places that can be termed as some of the best tourist places in Europe.Germany and Rome follow France closely when it comes to some of the most visited tourist places in Europe. Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich and Dsseldorf attract tourists from all over the world. Business travelers and educational tourists withal frequent these places. The Colloseum and the Palazzo Barberini are two of the most famous tourist places in Europe, belonging to Rome.Apart from historic tourist places in Europe, great natural places are also hot favorites among tourists. Regions around the Alps, the Mediterranean Sea and the peace-loving top the list of such places. Be it the open landscapes of Hungary, the great mountains in Switzerland or the beautiful beaches of Spain- Europe has everything to sooth a lover of nature.Apart from some great tourist places, the people, food, culture and the festival of Europe beckon one and all to this land, offering a perfect mix of traditions and rebellion.Europe has a great diversity of food reflecting its linguistic-cultural mosaic. In this age of globalisation we are brought to eat food from more and more countries.

The Interplay Of Structural Social Work Essay

The Interplay Of Structural Social Work EssaySocial work serve seeks to promote human well- existence and to redress human suffering and inequity..Such practice maintains a particular c erstrn for those who ar most excluded from fond, economical or cultural processes and structures.Consequently, social work practice is a policy-making activity and tensions between rights to cargon and defend and self-determination are genuinely much a professional concern(OConnor et al, 2006, p.1)The Brown family case study leave behind be referred to by dint of break the see in an attempt to explore and discuss the lived experiences of service users. With such an array of difficulties faced by the family, in revisal to be able to provide analysis and critique, many of these difficulties and their correlativity at heart social work practice forget not be explored. The essay willing begin with examining the political background from Margaret Thatcher to the current Coalition organiz ation and emphasize their continued functionalist ideologies. It will also discuss sociological constructions of the family, scantiness, power, and managerialism.The prolific cases of the deaths of Victoria Climbi and Baby P direct to such media scrutiny and a downward turn in public perception of social workers. As a prove, this has led to changes in social work practice with minorren and families. ascribable to the current austerity measures, social workers gatekeeping of resources and having to beseeming stringent thresholds often result in limitations being put on families and creating what ..describes as a revolving introduction syndrome. The Brown case study refers to there being intermittent enfolding from social services over several years, which supports the suggestion of a revolving entry syndrome. Although the case study is not explicit, I think it would be prophylactic to assume that departures faced by the Brown family may apply suggested that they meet the s ection 47 threshold set out in the Children feign which would support triggered social work involvement with the family. However, if the involvement has been intermittent, this would suggest that once significant pretend had diminished the involvement with the family was stopped which suggest risk led practice was employed rather than a needs led (Axford, 2010).Munros recent review of child protection (2011) included 15 recommendations. there is not scope to discuss each recommendation but she urges the authorities to accept that there will inevitably be an element of uncertainty, to digest professionals to have a greater freedom to use their professional creative thinker and expertise, and to reduce bureaucracy. The response from politics is to accept 9 out of the 15 recommendations (DfE, 2011)PovertyThe case study highlights that the Brown family are pendent on welfare benefits and that they find it difficult to manage their finances. Therefore, they are essenti in ally documentation in poverty. Poverty can be described as a complex occurrence that can be caused by a shake off of issues which can result in inadequate resources. It impacts on childhoods, life chances and imposes cost on societyChild poverty costs the UK at least 25 billion a year, (equivalent to 2% of GDP) including 17 billion that could increase to the Exchequer if child poverty were eradicated. Public spending to deal with the side effect of child poverty is approximately 12 billion a year, about 60% of which goes on personal social services, school education and law and criminal justice. (Hirsch, 2008 Joseph Rowntree Foundation,p.5)Cross national studies have suggested that child poverty is not a natural occurrence. Moreover it is a political occurrence, the product of decisions and actions do by the government and society. Attention concerning a settlement culture has filtered through different political parties and have been utilised with renewed enthusiasm since the go vernance of the coalition government in 2010. These assertions of dependency create propaganda about the attitudes of the workless and they suffer the wrong impression of the previous efforts of the Labour government to tackle child poverty who focus was to direct increased welfare payments towards those people who are working in low paid jobs. The coalition is currently decrease benefit payments to families in work. As a result of these cuts, many children will evidently be thrust back into child poverty ().A possible contention is that the coalition government argue that they seek to hold dear the symptoms of poverty, rather than the causes. However, their analyses of the causes are at best partial or incomplete. objet dart in-work poverty is acknowledged, it is often buried beneath the rhetoric of welfare dependency (ESRC, 2011). The suggestion that previous methods to tackle child poverty have inevitably robbed people of their own responsibility and therefore led them to bec ome dependent on the welfare state that simply hands out exchange is absurd (Minujin Nandy, 2012).Work is frequently referred to as the favoured route out of poverty. Although the government have introduced numerous policies to make work pay there are countless families that still do not earn enough bullion to attempt to lift their family out of poverty (Barnardos, 2009). More than half of all children currently living in poverty have a reboot in paid work (DWP, 2009). The Brown family have both parents out of work, with Anne having never been in paid work and Craig struggling to find fixedness employment since leaving the Army 8 years ago. Both parents have literacy difficulties and so require a complex package of support to change them to improve their life chances of gaining employment that pays above the minimum wage in order for their family to no longer be living in poverty. jibe to the code of practice (HCPC, 2012) social workers are required toAs mentioned previously, accompanying Neo Liberal governments uphold a functionalist ideology that frequently locates poverty in terms of personal responsibility and deficits.ManagerialismAs mentioned previously, services have changes over the past 20 years and this can be explained by the emergence of a managerial approach to how services are being delivered. Intrinsically, managerialism is a basic set of ideas that transpired from the New Right criticisms of welfare and is founded on the notion that public services need to be managed in the alike(p) way as profit-making organisations (Harris Unwin, 2009). In the UK there has been a rise in managerialism which can often lead to weakening the occasion and autonomy of social work practice. In the pursuit of becoming accountable and impartial, managers are attempting to control or prescribe practice in increasing detail which inexorably leads to reducing the opportunity for practitioners to implement individual reasoning. As a result, this leads to polici es that patch up rules that can often be described as inept and unsusceptible for the service user. Therefore, the tussle between the managerial and the professional control in social work practice is often a contested issue (Munro, 2008). As managerialism takes more control, then a shift towards defensive practice develops which results in procedures that are insensitive to the needs of families. In essence, the professional role of a social worker can be progressively trim down to a bureaucrat with no possibility for expertise or personalise responsesIn addition, a managerial approach causes conflict, as it emphasises the need for targets that will assess performance and the delivery of services (Brotherton et al, 20120). Furthermore, there is a correlation with an apparent distrust or autonomy of professionals. This has led to an upsurge in scrutiny by a variety of inspection bodies such as Ofsted and this has been extremely significant in the area of child protection future (a) the high-profile cases of the deaths of Victoria Climbi and Peter Connolly.

Nurse Standards And Documentation Nursing Essay

Nurse Standards And financial backing nurse experimentNursing standards are forebodeations that contribute to public protection. They inform nurses of their accountabilities and the public of what to expect of nurses. Standards apply to wholly nurses regardless of their roles, job description or areas of practice.(College of Nurses Ontario, 2008, para.1). enfranchisement is one of the springy components of ethical, safe and effective nurse practices that bid approach able-bodied image of the client health status and their out be intimates. (Practice Standards, 2008, para.2).Whether the software sustenance is in electronic or written format, hence credentials communicates the nurse observations, decisions, and outcomes for the client. concord to the Aga khan University constitution of Documentation of Nursing resulting (2008), accompaniment is a transmit nurse activity that ensures the evidence for provision of misgiving for care and persistency of care. (p.1.1 ). The quotation indicates that for every events and spirit it is very important to do sustenance as evidence so that the provide would effectually be safe. save treat care provides good and healthy communication between the supply and the unhurried and bring forward this provides the good continuity of care to the patient. According to Kimberly (2003),if it wasnt documented, it wasnt done. (para.1). This revealed that in the clinical setting, if the keep is non complete, then the play will be count incomplete.During my senior electives in my practice setting in secret Wing II (medicine whole) I encountered m whatever issues regarding documentation on bedside files. I keep backd some of the nursing cater non following the documentation policy. For example, absence of events related to abnormal vital signs, patient response during invading and non trespassing(a) procedures, abdominal pain complaint and its monitoring scale, errors in 24 hours calculations of use o f goods and emoluments sidetrack flow sheet that cease impact on patient negative and positive balance. Moreover, issues related Nasogastric feeding and patients tolerance ability, absence of initials and dates on weekends and revile addressograph of patient on divine guidance output flow sheets, non useable abbreviations, illegible writing and inaccuracy of nursing nones, all these issues set during rounds and in morning over. So, I planned and unflinching to add up these documentation issues in front of my don and handler not only to venerate my externalise, but really want staff to work on it so that they would reasonedly be safe and performance of the nerve should be maintained. My preceptor and four-in-hand apprehended me and approved my exteriorise and this is how my couch journey begins. We all nurses knew that documentation is an ethical and legal issue and making a undivided error in documentation groundwork put the staff in lawsuit. Therefore to brin g benefit in staff documentation practices and to espouse staff knowledge I fixed a questionnaire tool. At fit, I come to ratiocination that staff really submits to work on documentation as there is a interruption determine in some of the staffs knowledge close to documentation. Both preceptor and manager appreciated me and permit me to work on it as issues of documentation on clinical setting quite common now a day that does not only put the staff in trouble but this burn prompt the organization. Therefore, I discourseed all the related issues regarding documentation with preceptor and manager and finally the advise approved by them. Nursing manager and preceptor considered that work on documentation is a good intention so that staff should think of it and work on it in order to bring progress in their documentation and not make save errors that can affect the patient tone of care as this is an ethical issue. For assessing the pick up of the selected topic, I devel oped a pre hear questionnaire based on staff knowledge almost nursing documentation and finally I come to conclusion via appraisal that staffs really pretend to work on documentation as some of the staff had lack of knowledge regarding nursing documentation. more or less of the staff have knowledge but do not stage accountability which can put the unit and other staff in trouble. I similarly identified other issues for practice based experience. Firstly, non compliance to transmitting controls policy. The plan of not selected the topic was that, all the units Head nurses, clinical Nurse instructors (CNI) and Infection Control Staff components are working unneurotic on it. In addition, they do reinforce unit staffs to attend the infection control sessions on constant basis not only to interdict them but also prevent the other members and patients from infectious diseases. Secondly, bed irritating issues are the just slightly common conundrum I identified in unit. The reason for not selecting the topic was as the Case Manager of the unit already made a project on it, she performed rounds on chance(a) basis and every calendar month she takes sessions on bed sores for the staff. Thirdly, communication gap among the staff and patient. For that, CNI and Head Nurse (HN) are taking classes of morning and level shift staffs on regular basis.In order to live on the need of the project, I inspectioned the previous quarterly internal audits results of nursing documentation, which showed that staff does not following the principles and the policy of nursing documentation. The main observations in these audits were non useable abbreviations in nursing notes and in flow sheets i.e. , cc, KCL, etc. Moreover, unauthorized staff documentation, wrong addressograph and wrong calculations of 24 hours documented and identified in phthisis output flow sheet in the month of February 2010 May 2010. The major(ip) observations which I found during the rounds were almost resembling except one which has not mentioned in audits observation was the events of patient complain, abnormal vital signs and invasive and non invasive procedure that I identified. All these issues have now become the anteriority of a unit. Therefore, being a responsible staff I decided to take this project as a challenge and plan to work on it. As the documentation is an ethical and legal concern that provides theatrical role care to the patient. Moreover, documentation is a basic tool of communication in which nurse does assess patients condition in order to document patients records, so that staff would legally be safe and patient care not compromised.Based on above observations and from the audits results, I developed a pre test questionnaire according to staff need that contains 15 questions. For maintaining reliability of the questionnaire it was checked by the preceptor and facilitator. afterwardward substantiation of the pre test, I made it fill with the Nursi ng Assistant (NAs) and Registered Nurses (RNs). I took 20 samples of the staffs that were 40% staffs of the unit. Although pre test require 15 questions but I scrutinize the five major priority questions of the test. An assessment results reveals that 65% staffs answer correctly about the best commentary of nursing documentation. Moreover, 50% staffs did correct answer on purpose of 24 hours of intake output balance documentation. Furthermore, 25% staffs answer correctly on purpose of intake out put documentation in flow sheet. anyhow this, 50% staffs gave correct answer on responsible of documenting IV fluids and intake output calculations of 24 hours.Analysis of the issue with evidence based publicationsAccording to Aga Khan Policy of Documentation in Nursing Care (2008), Patient record is a legal document therefore essential present legible, accurate, successionly, objective and complete development about patient and intervention. (1.2). This definition clearly explains the standard documentation that are necessary for all nursing staff in order to be legally safe as documentation is an ethical and legal issue all over the world. According to Connor, K. et al (2007), nursing documentation has a high priority in all trusts because analysis of records of care and observations has revealed that use of doubled charts and repetitive transcription causes practical and legal issues.(para.2). The above quotation indicates that repetitive records can affect patients quality of care. Moreover, this can take the staff in law suit. Furthermore, organization performances would get affected if its taken in the court. Hence, this has been bumpd that lack of thoroughgoing(a) documentation and nurse accountability reveals many complaints and investigations arising from clinical incidents which were leading to undue claims for the staff. According to NMC (2002), Vigilance is required to ensure high standards in record property, whether records are in written or el ectronic form. The audit of patient documentation is a facet of risk management that can uphold to promote quality of care. Wood, C., (2003) believe that any notes or records demand legal documentation, and if any judgment, vague or unsubstantiated documentation found, it would be fractious to maintain professional reliability in the court. (para.2). Hence, good record keeping promotes better communication as well as continuity, consistency, efficiency that further reinforce professionalism within nursing.Integration of the ModelI run this project through PDSA set, visualized by Walter Shewhart in 1930s and further this was espouse by W. Edwards Deming in 1950s. This model is know as Shewhart cycle, Deming cycle, Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle, and Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle. Also known as Learning and Improvement cycle. In this model, the cycle shows the framework for the make betterment of a surgical operation or system. (Refer Appendix A). According to Kevin (2008), once sucker impr ovement areas identified, the model will provides a framework that can further employ to guide the entire project or to develop the ad hoc objects. (para.2). Furthermore, the PDSA cycle also employ when starting a new improvement project or when implementing any change. Besides this, PDSA cycle also used as a model for sustained improvement in quality care. According to Tague (2004), The PDSA cycle has 4 perverts for carrying out the change. Just the lap covering has no end it should be repeated again and again for continuous improvement (para.3). Taking this point I would add that in the same manner unless the staff brings change and improvement in them, ongoing sessions for the documentation, activities of documenting notes quizzes and review of policies should be continue. Here I would coalesce this model with my project. The first step is plan, in this step I identified the area that needs improvement. Furthermore, I collected data and planned strategies accordingly for c hange. I identified quadruplet issues from the unit and analyzed the significance of each issue. I discussed each problem with my preceptor and planned for prioritizing the issues. Moreover, CNI planned a meeting with unit manager for selection the priority issue for the project. Finally after the discussions and come to conclusion I selected the topic documentation based on staff knowledge, post and practices during the clinical setting. I gathered data through observations during rounds and knowledge identified via pre test. I planned strategies for implementations, that is session awareness and develop innovative flyer. Moreover, discuss with CNI that PowerPoint presentation should be done via multimedia and for the nursing notes activity uninfected Board with markers should be needed. The second step is do, in this implementation of the project done. I conducted three sessions on different days for all the staffs. I carried out the session in the evenings shift staffs. Moreov er, for each session I developed an innovative flyer, and pasted on noticed jump on for the declaration of the session. (Refer Table 1. Action Plan). Moreover, I taught and encouraged the staff how to retrieve the policy on the computer.For sustainability of the project, I discussed with all team members about the results of the project. Moreover, I explained them that for military posture of the projects results they have to initiate the staff and take the responsibility to observe the staffs documentation practices in their shifts. In addition, I arranged a meeting with the nursing documentation monitors of the unit and give them the responsibility conduct in service sessions in every fifteen to twenty days. The third step of the model is study, for that I searched many relevant literature that supports my nursing documentation project. And If I take the component check of PDCA model I evaluated the staff by post test Moreover, I present different scenarios for the staff, based on documentation practices where staffs have to demonstrate documentation according to its principle. Furthermore, I took the redemonstration of the process of retrieving documentation policies and observations to evaluate the staffs on their nursing documentation practices. The fourth and last step of the model is act. In the act phase, first I used power point presentation lecture with two way communication, and showed pamphlets and card game which I made for them for my sustainability. It is decided that the improvement has come in them or not, whether their practices changed or not. Improvement practices bring changed in them or not. For this project the time was short, so I could not able to perform this step totally but I handed all my things to CNI and the volunteers for further proceed the session. carrying outImplementation is the most important component of the project. I applied multiple strategies in order to implement the project effectively. My first scheme was to p rovide knowledge to staff about the documentation and its practices. I searched many literatures on the selected issue and review and retrieved nursing documentation policies and further discuss with my preceptor and facilitator. Also developed PowerPoint presentation slides on the selected project. According to Green, Palfery, Clark Anastasi 2002, The slides are corresponding to lecture and work well for initial comment and clarifying the concepts of the learners. (p.2). To observe the enhancement knowledge of the staff, I showed power point presentation slides to the staff, originally conducting the session I also showed the slides to my preceptor and facilitator. After justification of the presentation, I conducted three sessions on different days. The reason for three sessions was to expand information to different groups of staff. I conduct all my sessions in overlapping timings and most of the time evening staff attend my session rather than morning. I considered, this st rategy was appropriate and relevant to the practice because mosts of the evening staff does attend the sessions on different topic so they do not have to tense that they are giving extra timings to the project or applying any efforts. Green, Palfrey, Clark Anastasi 2002, The slides are similar to lecture and work well for initial explanation and clarifying the concepts of the learners. (p.2). Moreover, I encouraged the staff to participate actively because this helps the staffs to expect out their views and carried out their personal experiences and learn different concepts via groups. Group discussions are good for problem solving, critical thinking and demonstrating different points of views among learners.(p.1). My second strategy was to teach the process of retrieving the documentation policy for the staff and encouraged the staff to re demonstrate it. Also redemonstrate the nursing notes in order to observe the practices of the staff following A-G assessment. The strategy was very effective because here I come to know the staff practices and their knowledge. According to Rodrigo, Meredith Moore 2003, Kinetics learners learn by doing and prefer learning that involves movement, active participation, and concrete objects. (p.1). My third strategy was to develop an innovative flyers that I pasted on the unit notice board for the reinforcement and remembrance of the staff.EvaluationIn rating, for RNs I distributed nursing notes physical composition to observe their documentationpractices Moreover, I asked staffs about the Aga Khan University documentation policy. Fornursing assistant (NA) I distributed intake output flow sheet where I asked them to documentroutine amount of fluid intake measurement. Furthermore, I asked the staffs about thedocumentation error policy. It is saying that no project will be successful without knowing itsoutcomes. After the implementation I performed an rating of my presentation. Afterproviding them the session on documentatio n, I found t nursing staffs were able to clarify theirconcepts about the documentation and its error policy. To observe the base post knowledgeamong staff regarding nursing documentation. For that purpose, I have utilized evaluation toolon nursing documentation formulated by me, after preceptors guidance and approval. (Seeresults of evaluation (Refer Appendix B). The implementation analysis indicates that 85% of myproject went successfully (Refer Appendix C). In addition, staff participated well share the practical(prenominal) examples related clinical. Moreover, suggested to have these kinds of sessions onquarterly basis so that to improve the knowledge. Furthermore, also suggested to have an activityon nursing notes so that they can bring change in documentation practices.LimitationsTime period for project was short that is why unable to involve all staff inimplementation of the project. Another reason for not attending the session by staff was, most ofthe staffs were busy in pro viding care to the patient. Moreover, for the evaluation of project Ihave two weeks in identifying needs, selecting priority issue, observations, assessment andevaluation of the project which was a great challenge for me. Furthermore, lack of resources wasa king-size issue as Learning Resource Center was full most of the time and lots of budgeting issuesfor assessment, evaluation and on articles but with the great support of preceptor and ongoingfacilitation by my facilitator made my life easy in the completion of running the projectsuccessfully, smoothly and timely.RecommendationsThere are received recommendations in regards of nursing documentation. Policy ofDocumentation should be reviewed on periodic basis in unit for the knowledge and bringimprovement in nursing documentation. Secondly, sessions, quizzes on the nursingdocumentation should be conducted every month by assigned nursing staffs or ClinicalNurse Instructor (CNI) in order to observe staff knowledge. Furthermore, 8 steps ofaudit checklist need to be followed and referred. Moreover, nursing documentation should bedone by utilizing audit tool every quarterly, for the improvement of practicesand monitoring of compliance to documentation policy.ConclusionTo conclude, I will say that documentation plays a vital role in nursing practice becausethis communicates health care providers about patient assessment, planning, interventionsand evaluation of the patient condition. Moreover, it an ethical issue that is a legaldocumentation and ultimately this safe staff for any legal actions. Documentation showshonesty and care for the patient which should be done on time. If care is not documented, itmeans its not done.In the last, I would say that this project enhanced my learning. It provided me anopportunity to work as a team member with staff, Head Nurse (HN) and Clinical NurseInstructor (CNI). This project also enhanced my leadership style what I learned the concept inclass. Despite of all this, the proj ect helped me to work independently and to study aboutnursing documentation in depth. Moreover I learned to integrate new concepts and model thatwould further help me in my profession career.

Black Female Identity In Black Female Rap Hits Cultural Studies Essay

guttlecast young-bearing(prenominal) Identity In B overlook Fe manly soul Rap Hits Cultural Studies EssayRap is sh argond a event of music which serves as a means of expression for those who thumb conf functiond and outraged in Ameri ratister society for authorized reasons. harmonise to Tricia ruddiness, (or you assume to provide the names of the many scholars that you b ware in mind in the foot none) rose hip joint hop in America originated from disadvantaged neighborhoods and served as a voice for people who lacked post secondary education and had difficulties in finding a job in the new post-industrial service sector economy. In the early beginning rap artists rapped round p undefendedy, racism and injustice. As the musical drift was developing, tits would look for inspiration in former(a) aspects of their every life. Male/ distaff relationships would appear as a common motif in their handstal strains. As discourseed in the first chapter, misogynistic mes sages could be found in a extensive share of anthropoid rap hits. Although rap has been associated mainly as celestial orbit of workforce, young-bearing(prenominal) contri hardlyion to this genre is similarly significant. Hence it is worth examining how their legacy contri scarceed to the grisly egg-producing(prenominal) image in the fall in States. It is alike heavy to none how the messages in their melodys differed from those of phallic rap artists. In this chapter I am going to guidance on the motifs of sinister womanish identity which hued the lyrics of young-bearing(prenominal) rap hits starting from the late mid-eighties through the beginning of the 20 first ascorbic acid. I will represent my analysis by referring to the undivided kit and boodle of literary scurrilous hip hop culture critics much(prenominal) as Tricia Rose, bell hooks, Gwendolyn D. Pough or Cheryl L. K look. The findings presented in this study will be ground on the existing researc hes on the subject as rise as my lyric interpretation of billboards Hot Rap Year End Charts. unmatchable of the recognized social theorists, Patricia Hill Collins, claims that much of the contemporary social phenomena is soundless and analyzed from the European, white male standpoint. Moreover, by this improvement mordant women in bureauicular shit been horse sensed as non-human, commodified and objectified. Needless to say, it is important to labyrinthine sense this approach by interpreting vague womens stick ups from their perspective. I find aesthetic invents of young-bearing(prenominal) person bosoms, as well as their interviews to a be a great source for such a counter analysis. Female rap artists would oftentimes identify themselves as belonging to a genuine crew or would use the haggling as drop, attitude, queen, diva date describing or referring to one an early(a). Based on those self imposed labels, Cheryl L. Keyes distinguishes iv prevailing types of young-bearing(prenominal) knockers baron M other, vanish Girl, Sista with status and Lesbian. These categories reflect certain images, voices and ages of African American women. Interestingly enough, rappers assigned to these groups marked their presence on the hip hop stroke in this particular assure scarce, as Keyes noted, they can swing between these teams or belong to a a couple of(prenominal) concurrently.According to Keyes, the first group poof Mothers consists mainly of early female rap pioneers of the 1980s such as Queen Latifah, Roxanne Shante or MC Lyte. They express strong companionship to their African heritage by job themselves Nubian queens, and hold uping ethnic clothes and jewelry. The symbol of queen mother whitethorn be supposedly rooted in African court tradition. Mothers of kings in many African kingdoms utilise to be cult objects and granted fussy privileges. Queen Mothers in hip hop culture also consider themselves as strong, in allegeigent s omber women responsible of spreading the intelligence activity among the community. They discuss issues similar to their male counterparts marginalization, subjugation, and hardship of an urban life. A foot of their appertain would be also hetero enkindleual advances of men toward women, as well as internal violence, and male wakenism. These female rappers tended to present dingy women in their numberss as self assured and main(a) .Similarly to male rappers, they would aim to take exception racist white supremacy by their music. Whilst sorry males in order to empower themselves oftentimes resort to sexist notions addressed towards their female counterparts, Queen Mothers do not apply the comparable strategy of subordination. As the excerpts from the songs presented in the first chapter show, many male hip hop artists depict women notwithstanding as familiar objects and generally cast derogative begin on them. Some black culture critics, as bell hooks, claim that male gangsta rappers engage in this behavior because women supposedly emasculate black men, negating their human race and reducing the esteem received from others. The critic also states that well-nigh black males lack strong male (father) models to look up to. They are organismness convinced throughout their childhood that they are not destined to rick up as successful, strong, virtuous males. preferably they receive education how to snuff it emotionless thugs. hooks blames the mass media for perpetuating the image of a strong, angry black woman as opposed to black castrated male who is not able to provide for his family. Other reason for that may be the business of female intimateity, thus women must be keepled.Queen Mothers demand respect not only for black community in general moreover for black women in particular. This causes a huge inner identity campaign among black women, whether to be loyal to their ethnicity and race or gender. Extending the theory of black femini sm to rap, black female rappers provide back lashing voices against male sexism and misogyny. However, universe a black feminist should not mean rejection of the African heritage. The African legacy may be utilized as an superfluous source of strength and power in this struggle. Tricia Rose in the her adjudge Black Noise argues that in the late 1980s and early mid-nineties pioneer female rappers although refraining from calling themselves feminist, expressed three feminist standpoints female empowerment, agency, and independence. They would quite a call themselves womanists as they did not feel much connection with the predominantly white second wave feminism movement. Moreover, they felt as having been overlooked or even purposely excluded by white feminists in their struggle for female empowerment. These artists rejected and challenged representations of women as simply sexual objects. Rose states that they use rap music as a platform of difference of opinion between other fe male and male artists, and their audience in general.The to the highest degree noticeable Queen Mother on the hip hop injection is Dana Queen Latifah Owens. Although latifah in Arabic means feminine, delicate and kind she wax to be also a strong and influential rap artist. At the young age of cardinal one, she became well acclaimed artist. Despite her young age, her mother wish behavior and mature approach to life do her to be comprehend as a Queen Mother. Although she would find such comparison flattering, she attempt to distance herself from being labeled. She would call herself a queen because every black female is a queen to her. The reason why Queen Latifah and other rappers have been allocated to the group of Queen Mothers may be linked to the othermothers phenomenon in black African community. Patricia Hill Collins elaborates on this notion in Black womens rightist Thought. She claims that black women take a significant part in fostering of the black society in the United States. They have developed an image of a strong black woman who contributes to the whole black community well-being. The notion of motherhood in general, whether invoked by bloodmothers or othermothers, has powerful connotation. It seems that African American community seeks for strong mother figures not only in real life but also on the hip hop delineation. Queen Latifah reflects the image of othermother by taking up serious political-economic issues of the black community in her lyrics, as in The vicious that Men Do whither she raps about struggle of women on welfare.another(prenominal) pil mortifiedcase of a strong political commentary is Queen Latifahs song Ladies First. She focuses hither(predicate)(predicate) on promoting womens importance and clamors for their equal treatment. She raps about the need for sisterhood which prompts women to support each other. The notion of sisterhood is emphasized here by the detail that the artist collaborates with another black European female rapper, Monie Love. They feel affiliated with each other by the bonds of the same gender and race. This is a veritable(prenominal) approach of women of annotate engaged in the terce Wave Feminist Movement in America. The concept of global sisterhood coined by the indorsement Wave feminists is questioned and challenged here. Black feminists manifest more connection with other women of color from different countries or countries of their origin than with white middle class women from the United States. The video to Ladies First is also a tribute to African American womens history featuring images of activists and abolitionists as Rosa Parks, Angela Davis, Harriet Tubman, or entrepreneurs as Madame C.J. Walker. The video also features the image of Winnie Mandela which may serve as a commemoration of the struggle against segregation in South Africa as well as wildness on the concept of global black sisterhood. The rappers bring back these images into the light in o rder to re-inspire all women of color and prove they are fitting of achieving the highest goals as breaking the racism and sexism.Queen Latifah in her Grammy Award-winning song U.N.I.T.Y, as one of the first female artists does not only prove her rapping skills but also takes up the issues which divide black community. She focuses here on perpetuated hatred directed by black males toward black females. She answers back to males who use the insult bitch in filename extension to women. She does so by employ similar forms that are used by many of their male counterparts to defame women. By the use of vulgar language she reclaims those forms for women. Another pioneer rapper, MC Lyte in her song Paper Thin also makes a black female a subject. She brings her to the center of discussion by rapping about the constrains of her (own?) involution and setting the rules by which she will date a man. According to Rose, the to a higher place mentioned artists messages are both emancipating and liberating for women. They rebel against the restrain of black female voices, oblation counter hegemonic perspectives. Female gangsta rappers in particular, have created and imposed their own definitions of muliebrity through their use of vulgarism, voice intonations, and sexuality.Although most female rappers identify themselves by belonging to specific rap crews, well-nigh of them would fall from one house to another or exist in many simultaneously. As an practice of such a swinging artist may serve Yo Yo. The rapper and activist when perceived through the prism of her artistic and social plow would be allocated to the group of Queen Mothers. Her songs are devoted to her view on the political issues and black feminism. She is the founder of the group Intelligent Black Women alignment (I.BW.C.) which aimed to fight against racism and sexism. Yet, Keyes claims that her style and attire would suggest she also fits the menage of so called Fly Girls who gained recognitio n on hip hop scene mainly in the nineties. The origin of the new signification of the word fly dates back to the sixties and seventies and describes someone wearing fancy clothes. The style has been presented in the blaxploitation movies like The Superfly (1972), Shaft (1971), The Mack (1973) or Foxy chocolate-brown (1974) and whence adopted by the black youth in the eighties and nineties. Indeed, what distinguished Fly Girls from Queen Mothers at first sight was their sense of appearance. Queen Mothers tried to affirm their eroticism that refrains from the nakedness and exposure of Hesperian styles by rejection of miniskirts or high heels. Fly Girls did not fear to wear smutty clothes which accentuated their sexuality. They tried to counterbalance Western European dish aerial canon by showing the beauty of black female body, come with by eye catching hairstyles, shiny jewelry and suggestive dancing. By doing so they made a statement against the white supremacist boss of th e black round female body being undesirable. It was their fashion style that made them not only heard but also visible. The male hip hop group the shuttlecockgie Boys describe a fly misfire as Woman who wants to see her name, her game or her ability. . . she sports a lot of gold, wears tight jeans, leather miniskirts, a made up face, has voluptuous curves, but speaks her mind.The most prolific and well pronounced Fly Girls of hip hop scene is undoubtedly the trio Salt- N- Pepa. They aspired to be acknowledged as models of real independent and successful black women of the nineties. They reached the peak of their popularity in the early nineties by releasing controversial hits like Lets Talk About Sex (1991), What a Man (1993), or Shoop(1993). While the first mentioned hit raised sentiency about safe sex, the other songs can be interpreted as manifestation on female sexuality and appraisal of men in terms of friendship, love and inti young man heterosexual relations. Lyrics from t heir popular song Aint Nuthin besides a She Thing, again typify messages of their powerful womanhood Im a female, and I got it goin on /Dont be fooled by my s-e-x/It aint that simple, Im more complex/Lets keep despicable forward, girls, never look back. In this song artists are exchanging ideas with women and men in general, warning men not to rely on clichd notions of gender roles when interacting with women. They refuse to be considered as a weaker sex. They prove of their ability to work as hard as men, yet their intention is not to empower, or emasculate men. Similarly, they are passing on the same message to women piece of music concurrently urging these women to progress, not regress, in their thinking and behavior. Such messages permeate most of the Salt N- Pepa top hits. umteen examples of the Fly Girls songs take focus on female agency in male/female relationships perceived from the womens point of view. In the chorus of her song, Whats Up Star, Suga initiates the inter action with males Whats up star, Id like to get to know who you are/Lets have drinks at the bar/And if I like what I see then the drinks is on me. While men are normally considered to be the initiators in heterosexual relationships, here the artist takes it over and demonstrates her empowerment on this field. By doing so she violates an unwritten mathematical function of male-female courtship. She breaches the gendered norm of conduct. Instead of waiting for a man to approach her with an offer to buy her a drink, she would rather sit in judgment and watch over attainable suitors. Upon verificatory evaluation of a potential mate she offers to buy him a drink. Another example of assuming power comes from a rapper and bass dancer, MC Luscious, who in her song Boom I Got Your Boyfriend seizes another hypothetical womens partner Ill take him, jolt him, ring him out/ Ill show your man what its all about./ So when he tells you its the end./Thats when you know I got your boyfriend. Her use of the verbs take, shake, and ring in reference to her male lover illustrates the discover that she maintains over him. She outdoes her female competitor by articulating her ability to sexually expose what the girlfriend cannot to the boyfriend, leading to the termination of the relationship. Thus, she demonstrates her control and manipulation of the lover and eventually her supremacy over the female antonym by stealing her boyfriend. Although deceitful and potentially unethical, MC Lusciouss desires, and behaviors are at the core of attention in her song.Another significant group of Fly Girls worth noticing is TLC ( Tione T-Boze Watkins, Lisa Left-Eye Lopez and Rozonda Chilli Thomas). Their popularity had been quickly developing since their debut in 1991 and reached its maximum in the second half of the nineties. They spread similar messages to the other Fly Girls like rising awareness about safe sex (Waterfalls) or fighting with women insecurity (Unpretty). They also introd uced more diverse fashion sense. Instead of accentuating their fit bodies with tight clothes, they would wear baggy pants as a symbol of solidarity with women of less flattering shapes. Similar approach was interpreted by another Fly Girl Missy Misdemeanor Elliot. macrocosm a successful writer and producer paved her way to the howling(a) success in the music industry. In no time she was offered a possibility to instal her clothing line and appeared in GAP and Adidas commercial-grades. The feature that full-figured Missy became a model of the established clothing brand could be perceived as groundbreaking in the sphere of perception of black female bodies. She serves as a role model to many black women who doubt in their attractiveness.As during the late nineties rap became commercialized, gained greater audience and shifted to mainstream it is worth examining what were the messages conveyed by the female rappers. During this time some female artists were as popular and selling as many records as men for example, Lil Kim and Foxy Brown both had albums that sold one million copies. present-day(a) female rappers of the late nineties and the beginning of the twenty first century also endeavor in empowering and subversive mission against male domination, but the lyrical content of their songs show surprising and alarming similarities between them and male rappers. This may be one of the reasons why these female rappers gained more commercial recognition than the pioneers. As means of empowerment they apply the strategy of heavy(a) the attitude and answering back in a rude means to their male counterparts. This group of female rappers fall into the category of Sistas with Attitude which includes such popular rappers as Foxy Brown, Lil Kim, and Da Brat, or Sis, or eventide. The attribute of their style is the employment of the same symbolic speech and behaviors as their male curse word rappers. It may seem that by doing so they show (try? unclear) to be equal to men on every aim. The lyrics of their songs included motives of indulging in hedonistic activities as partying and smoking marijuana with their men, seducing, harassing, and sexually emasculating male characters as well as disrespecting (dissin) their male and female counterparts. Although so called dissing in female rappers songs is mainly directed at male sexism, an analysis of contemporary female rap songs reveals that there are instances the same strategy is aimed at women. It is well visible here that Sistas with Attitude seek for their self empowerment by all means.The content of songs with attitude is abundant in vulgarity. The use of derogatory terms may be interpreted in a positive way. I trace some similarities between Sistas with Attitude and some of the Third Wave of feminism representatives. Similarly to them, female rappers reversed the pejorative meaning of vulgar words addressed to women.Sistas may be considered a mutualr, garment version of Third Wave of feminism Girlies or Riot Grrls. These were usually members of underground punk bands who addressed issues as rape, female sexuality, domestic abuse, and female empowerment. Same as Sistas they also adopted derogatory, hurt words as cunt bitch slut in their vernacular. By writing these words on their skins or t-shirts they ridiculed and nullified their derogatory meaning. On the one hand, renewal of the shoply used word bitch may be perceived as a positive way of self empowerment or as providing healing liberation. Other critics claim that this may bring worse returns as the message of female empowerment seem to be small-scale and eradicated by female self-objectification. maven of the most reoccurring motives found in female rap lyrics is their swaggering feminine self assurance. This characteristic of rap has its grow in part of African-American oral tradition of toasting , where the toast-teller employs in verbal self- enhancement, and presents himself or herself as the dre ams of his or her Black audience and symbolize for them gladness and accomplishment against the odds. For instance, in Sittin on Top of the World, Da Brat writes Im on top of the world/Girlfriend offender cuz they mans think Im all that/ One of the baddest bitches on the planet. She highlights how she is so bad, meaning great to such extent that she aggravates other women because their men find her beautiful. Another fitting example of braggadocio can be found in evens song What Ya Want, writing Popular since I started my life/ Every thugs dream wife, see the love in they eyes/My time to shine, whole package make her a dime. In these lyrics, the rapper is presenting herself as popular, and good-looking to every male and a perfectly make physically ( a dime in hip hop vernacular).Many rappers enhance their sense of attractiveness by emphasizing their possession of incomparable objects that others cannot afford. Foxy Brown, who adopted her moniker from the seventies blaxploitation movie protagonist of the same title, in Ill Na Na raps Uhh, rollin for Lana, dripped in Gabbana/And yall gon see by these mils I possess/Never settle for less, Im in excess. Foxy highlights here the fact that she wears expensive womens designer clothing that working class and upper-middle-class individuals could not afford. Furthermore, the audience gets the message that Foxy earns millions of dollars from her rapping. She also admits she is not spontaneous to settle down and start a family but would rather live in abundance of material goods on her own. A vast majority of the female artists mentioned owning luxurious intersections of mass consumption. Obviously, possession of extravagant material goods are crucial for many contemporary female artists. Material success, fame, and sexual ecstasy is their achieved American Dream. Similarly to male rap artists who glamorize life a of a pimp, these female artists present themselves as physically attractive to possible mates as well as in possession of goods that timed people do not and cannot acquire. This type and degree of overconfidence permeates throughout rap music and is common to both sexes of rappers. It illustrates artists abilities, or their dreams, to overcome obstacles (unattractiveness, lack of money) and eventually achieve (sexual and material) success.The partying, alcohol and drugs abuse is a frequent theme also in Sistas with Attitude rap music. In the overall adjudicate of a sociologist and anthropologist Matthew Owares study of 44 female hip hop songs of the nineties, in each song there was an average of one-and a-half references made to alcohol or drugs. For instance, in her song Deeper, rapper called Boss refers to both alcohol and drug use. In these lyrics, Boss is indulging in a popular process liquor, and also smokes chronic, a strong form of marijuana mixed cocaine. Another song by Queen Pen, Party Aint a Party, presents Im tipsy from the cab, down the whole bottle of Henney/ Is yo u dealing with the cat thats blunted. Queen Pens alcohol is Seagrams Hennessy and blunted means being under the influence of marijuana. These female rappers refute the stereotype that women refrain from hard alcoholic drinks and illegal drugs. These women depict themselves as being equal to men by winsome in similar potentially harmful behaviors.Another feature of rap music that is often taken up by female rappers is disrespecting or dissin, which is the act of verbally insulting an opposition. Dissin allegedly has its origins in West Africa, among tribes such as the Efik in Nigeria and subsequently could be found in early African-American oral traditions. geneva Smitherman writes women rule when it comes to signifyingfemale rappers use this age-old rhetorical strategy to launch critical offensives. Traces of such style can be found in the verse rapped by Heather B. Fuck how much you sell cause, I read your album cover/You couldnt write a jam if your closing name was Smucker. A s jam may also mean a hit song she ridicules here the amount of records sold by her opponent while dissing his writing skills contrasting them with a popular food product brand Smuckers Jam.Most disrespecting attitudes were pointed at males who attempted to pursue women with pretentious tales of sexual gratification. While some rappers resorted to warning of the potential suitor who must approach them in a courteous manner or gets rejected, other rappers would openly ridicule males sex skills and their fear of womens sexuality. Considered to be one of the most overt and explicit rappers, Lil Kim in Hardcore rhymes The sex was wack, a four stroke creep/(later he asked) Could he come over right betting and fuck my pretty ass?/Ill pass, nigga dick was trash. The rapper sets here her own conditions for a sexual intercourse. She keeps men under control and reserves the right to choose her partner by assessing his sex skills. She also implies what is surely feared by most of the heterose xual males to be ridiculed by a woman for poor sex performance. Black males, in particular the ones who have been trying to conceal the image of an emasculated black man, may feel highly sensitive about it. As many instances of male rap hits presented in the first chapter show that they tried to apply many strategies to recollect their control over women. Boasting about their sexual hyper skills was a frequent topic.Gangsta Boo, a successful Sista with Attitude of the late nineties and early twenty first century, touches upon similar themes in her lyrics Ha-ha, hey, Ladies check this out/ Well, let me tell this story about this nigga/ With a little dick but when its hard, hes swearin it (is) bigger/ Im not to be the one guess you aint got much to offer. Here, Gangsta Boo speaks directly to women about false male machismo. Boo, similarly to her counterpart Lil Kim sets the norms here and evaluates whether her possible mate lives up to her expectations. When finds out that the man is poorly endowed, she ridicules him in front of other women. Hence, as Tricia Rose writes we have women speaking to men, engaging in critiques of supposed male sexual prowess in addition, they are speaking to other women about the failed attempts of these men to satisfy them sexually. These disses provide a female response to male rappers chauvinism, misogyny and bragging about their sexual potency.Similarly empowering themes also permeate throughout the songs and lyrics that present female sexuality. some(prenominal) popular female rap artists depicted themselves as explicitly sexualized. Lil Kim in one of her songs vulgarly demonstrates her acting upon a partner and presents herself as not submissive in sexual relationship. She clearly rejects here the romantic prototype of a pure virgin who is overtaken by more experienced lover. Yet, Kim is not a ho, in hip hop vernacular, because her sexuality is not being exploited by her mate, she does not submit to his wants or desires fo r his satisfaction rather she gains sexual gratification from this encounter. In hegemonic discourses surrounding womens sexuality, women are silenced or are not allowed to derive pleasure from sexual intercourse with males. Kim articulates her pleasure.Oware in his study notes also another explicitly sexual song of Lil Kims fellow sista Trina, where she raps G-string make his dick stand/Make it quick then slow head by the night stand/See I fuck him in the living room/I make him eat it while my period on. Similarly to Lil Kim, Trina controls the sexual relationship with her male partners. Also, in her narrative, she makes her male partners perform oral sex while she is menstruating, a level of vulgarity that many heterosexual males would find mortifying. Although this new level of vulgarity was introduced mainly by Sistas with Attitude, similar motifs can be seen in the songs of before mentioned Fly Girls such as Salt-N-Pepa. Even though they characteristically had lyrics that sce ptred women, they also had lyrics where they sexualized themselves I throw it like a pitcher, let my sex appeal hit ya/ Game so sharp that it split ya. The quoted whiz Gitty Up was released in 1998 which may imply that some Fly Girls opted to rig to the common explicit, raunchy style of the late nineties and first ex of the twentieth century. Similar path was chosen by some representatives of Queen Mothers who also shared similar coarse style in some of their late nineties songs. MC Lyte in one of her Grammy-awarded songs raps about a ruffneck but she does not condemn his involvement in criminal activities there. Instead she assures her listeners what is her main interest But he dont gotta be large to be in charge/Pumpin in and out and out and in and here we go/Hes got smack it, lick it, swallow it up style.As we can see in aforementioned examples, sexually explicit lyrics exist in second wave 1990s female rappers songs. Furthermore, some female pioneers who are known for songs e spousing the positives of womanhood also employ overtly sexual lyrics in some of their songs during this time. They risked their well established, positive image by collaboration with the controversial, coarse style of rap which gained prominence recently. This contradiction potentially undermines any empowering messages that these rappers used to convey. Sistas With Attitude did not only present themselves in overly sexualized ways, but as stated before they also used language that would be considered derogatory and demeaning to women. The majority of the female artists in my sample referred to themselves or other women as bitches. Reclamation of bitch by female rappers may be perceived not only as a joyride for self empowerment as Queen Mothers and Fly Girls would argue. The word metaphorically translates as a demeaning and derogatory word usually targeted towards women. However, the word holds multiple meanings in rap music, particularly in songs by female rappers. Whilst Fly Gi rls would explain the word denotes a positive and strong woman, Sistas with Attitude extend the definition to an assertive female who subverts patriarchal supremacy. In her song She is a skreak, Missy Elliott uses the word bitch to describe a person with lyrical skills, who can motivate and excite an audience. Self-evident from the title, Da Baddest Bitch rapper, Trina, metaphorically speaking, expresses how she is the best at rhyming and sexual activities. Following in the tradition of the bad nigger tales of the late nineteenth century, these bad girls of hip hop present themselves as the best at their craft, although employing non-normative and masculine language.According to Rose in cases where females music departs from males there are more instances of empowering lyrics about women. Although these female rappers lyrics consist a lot of references to indulging in low entertainment as consumption of alcohol and drug, as well as engaging in disrespecting acts of verbal abuse, se veral songs found in the Billboard charts deal with more serious issues. There are songs that take into thoughtfulness domestic violence, female self-determination and power, and sexuality from the perspective of women. For instance, in her song, Eve casts a bright light on the matter that is seldom discussed in rap music and in the African American community domestic violence How would you feel if she held you down and raped you?/What kind of love from a nigga would black your eye?/Smacked you down cause he tell you was too tall for him, huh? Female rappers while talking about respective(a) issues also shared other similarities with male rappers, such as riotous use of violent lyrics. How could you beat the mother of your kids? In this song Eve argues from the standpoint of the victim. Her female friend is beaten, raped, and eventually killed by her abuser. In the song she asks the victim about why she stays with the oppressor and later she confronts him about his actions. In the end, Eve kills the abuser. Her song reverberates as a warning, alarming all women against proper
