By Paul Andrew Bourne Over the decades, the elitists among us have continued to "scuff" at Creole (Patois) as a language. This is because of its "mediocritic" origin and the social class associated with its usage. In order that finesse is brought to this discourse, a position must be provided on what constitutes a language. In addition, we must be able to comparatively analyze those factors in order to establish whether or not Creole is a language. We need to move this debate beyond social...

The Historical Sociologists Paul Andrew Bourne, M.Sc.; B.Sc. (Hons); Dip. Edu. INTRODUCTION It was during the unprecedented social upheavals in Europe that the formal study of sociology emerged as a discipline to explain social phenomena. The industrialization of topologies at the time meant that people were migrating from rural to urban areas, and the traditional agents of authority, such as the Church and the landed aristocracy, were losing much of their influence.

Paul Andrew Bourne, M.Sc.; B.Sc. (Hons); Dip. Edu. The hegemonic categorization of the Jamaican landscape is primarily the justifiable reason for the sophisticated demonstrations and social hemorrhaging. Many of those happenings are caused from the lack of monologue of the business constituents. This group of elitists has exponentially benefited from playing the proletariat class. They have not offered their clientele the respect of voice on matters of social concerns or political mism...

By Paul Andrew Bourne Come August 31 and-or September 1 of each year, many tertiary graduants will add more numbers to Jamaica’s labour supply – (seeking employment). The new recruits will be unsure of any job opportunities. This is because of the government’s policy directive to all public institutions. It is to freeze post for the next two (2) years. Although the quality of our labour supply will improved significantly from the outputs of the various tertiary institutions, many lendi...

Paul Andrew Bourne In English for Academic Purposes, Lalla (1998, pp.175 – 200) posits that the most crucial aspect to essay writing is its introduction. She forwards the position that, a good introduction establishes a focus for the writing. The focus, she declares, is established through a thesis statement. To attain the focus throughout the composition, one needs a formal plan. This allows the writer, to structure his/her arguments in an effective directional manner. By offering...

By paul andrew bourne B.Sc. (Hons) Economics and Demography Human development has replaced the classical economists’ conceptualization of development much so that modern economists refer to this construct as including social, political and economic development.

I sat in my homeland just looking at the gods’ majestic creations in amazement when a voice muttered “Look to the other side!” It was then that I understood ‘That all men are not created equally’, for a black expression was kept struggling against the winds without that proud ancestral stride All that’s theirs – recycled promises food waters not the thirst for the same place, everything offered them was for the belly’s needs and, that heats thunderous hurt. What enc...
