By Paul Andrew Bourne, December 26, 2006 I stood perched on the mountain like a thief, like a thief like a thief I stood in a surveillance mode searching for the cracks, the weaknesses and the opportunities but what I saw was the vengeance that I had to express – I felt the pain darting at by being with a marksman precision I was a genie constructing bridges, barricades, and closets without that exist I wanted it, so earnestly – I wanted to eat it yes eat the ...
By Paul Andrew Bourne, December 25, 2006 I see not love again because of my former years I kept the hate of love lost bottled deep inside as - those days that I loved I did with the heart of a fool for I kept pouring my love in a broken cistern I could see that priceless substance flowing through the wind and I could see the open heart of my receptor allowing the love its free passage to somewhere called nowhere I felt an avalanche of hatred with the force of a volcano th...
by Paul Andrew Bourne, 2006 Like a seed I began in the open firmaments of the heavens battered by the very elements of nature to make me strong in a milieu that oppresses, dictates, and abuses but I’ll rise – like a flower, I bloomed with light’s rays like a flower, I was groomed by years like a flower, I unfolded with grace like a flower, I am the living years but watch and see – I’ll be your treasure because of these years I see me with years - a cistern that absorb...
Paul Andrew Bourne, B.Sc. (Hons.); Dip. Edu. Caldwell (2001) encapsulates the monograph of Abdel Omran, a Co-coordinator for National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, in a succinct matter in an article titled ‘Population Health in Transition’. He chides Omran’s ‘epidemiologic transition’ as lacking in depth and limited in scope, but equally agrees that diseases may result in mortality and he also forego the explanation of an epidemiolo...
Paul Andrew Bourne, 2006 ABSTRACT From a religious perspective, the evolution of man is embodied in a natural construction of a God whose function it is to fashion all the physical entities. This process ceases with the explanation of the Supreme Being, a spirit, unfolding his/her artistry in science, technology and biology to create a universe of immense interconnectivity and socio-physical solidarity with man at its pinnacle. He/she molded a man from the ground, and then he/she m...

Paul Andrew Bourne, 2006 Department of Sociology The University of the West Indies, Mona Kingston, Jamaica: West Indies INTRODUCTION One scholar, writing in the early 1900s, argues that language is more than the phoneticians’, grammarians’ and etymologists’ tools of dialoguing and/or techniques of formal writing; it is the emergence of a society’s expressions and cultural history, which underpins the social and system integration of the people (Firth 1937). A...
Paul Andrew Bourne, 2006 INTRODUCTION I know that in writing the following pages I am divulging the great secret of my life, the secret which for some years I have guarded far more carefully than any of my earthly possession; and it is a curious study to me to analyze the motives which prompt me to do it. I feel that I am led by the same impulse which forces the unfound out criminal to take somebody into his confidence, although he knows that the act is likely, even almost c...

© Paul Andrew Bourne 2004 ALBERT EINSTEIN - WAS HE CORRECT . . . ? Introduction Albert Einstein, the renowned physict and pioneer in his contributions of natural phenomena to the natural sciences, in an attempt to display his academic prowess and show the scope of his ‘ideashanal’ made a sweeping position statement on economics that reads "The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my view, the main cause of our evils. Production is carried on for pro...
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. This ...
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...
