Human capital refers to the characteristics that make a person a valuable part of the workforce. A person's human capital is made up of the reasons someone would want to hire her or him. Let's consider an example. Rachael wants to work as an airplane mechanic, so she is working to increase her human capital by getting training at a certified technical school. She also helps a private pilot work on a plane on the weekends. She enjoys taking things apart and putting them back together. Rachel is also very hard-working. What are three characteristics you have that would make you a good employee, inventor, or business owner? Discuss these characteristics in a paragraph of no fewer than five sentences.

Read this excerpt from I Never Had It Made.

He had never forgotten the agony of that black athlete. When he became a front-office executive in St. Louis, he had fought, behind the scenes, against the custom that consigned black spectators to the Jim Crow section of the Sportsman's Park, later to become Busch Memorial Stadium. His pleas to change the rules were in vain. Those in power argued that if blacks were allowed a free choice of seating, white business would suffer.

Which statement best summarizes this excerpt?

Because he learned so much as a coach, Rickey does a thorough job working as an executive at Sportsman’s Park.
Inspired by the injustices he witnessed as a coach, Rickey tries unsuccessfully to change race rules about stadium seating.
Rickey was bothered by the treatment of black athletes on his team, so he tries to help them find stadium jobs later in his career.
Rickey remembers how unfairly his black athletes were treated, and he abolishes Jim Crow laws as soon as he has the power.

Which rock layer is older, Layer A or Layer B? Explain how you know.

BOSTON, Massachusetts (Achieve3000, May 30, 2018). The music of Boston's early hip-hop and rap scene is being preserved online. The songs were recorded decades ago. It was well before artists such as Drake and Cardi B topped the charts. But the older songs have been brought back by a university and a public library. Their efforts are part of a movement that has researchers and historians studying hip-hop.

The project was led by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass) and the Boston Public Library. They created the Massachusetts Hip-Hop Archive. It was launched online in 2016. Now, it's a collection of more than 400 demo tapes. They were recorded by the city's top hip-hop and rap artists in the 1980s. The collection also includes audio from a Boston radio show. The host of the show discovered many hip-hop acts.

Why did UMass create the archive? It was partly to recognize Boston's role in the history of hip-hop. Hip-hop started in New York City in the 1970s. It later spread to Boston. Artists there would record rhymes over danceable beats. Many of the Boston groups or artists in the UMass collection aren't household names. But they're still important. Recordings such as The Almighty RSO and Guru capture a time when artists were seeking a new sound.

"This collection is a very complete look at a scene that nobody has heard about, at a moment when rap was just exploding," Pacey Foster, a rap historian and UMass professor said. "It will have natural interest for academics."

UMass took advantage of that interest in May 2018. Members of Boston's hip-hop community took part in an event called "Show 'Em Whatcha Got." They brought photos and recordings to the Boston Public Library. Staff then digitally added them to the growing archive.

Hip-hop collections aren't new, however. There are other schools with hip-hop archives. They include Harvard University in Massachusetts and Cornell University in New York. A library that serves four historically African American colleges in Atlanta, Georgia, has another. It houses the notebooks and letters of rap legend Tupac Shakur.

Meanwhile, more U.S. colleges are offering classes on hip-hop. This approach to hip-hop as a scholarly subject is fairly new.

UMass offered a course on hip-hop in 2014. That year, New York University's Tisch School of the Arts offered a course called "Sean Combs and Urban Culture." It explores the career of hip-hop giant Sean "Diddy" Combs. Also in 2014, the University of Missouri started a course exploring the work of two rap stars. It's titled "English 2169: Jay-Z and Kanye West."

At some colleges, students can take their study of the genre to a more advanced level. Bowie State University is a historically black college in Maryland. Students there can earn a minor in hip-hop studies. In 2012, the University of Arizona offered the very first minor in hip-hop studies. A year later, rapper Nasir Jones—known as "Nas"—established a fund at Harvard University for scholars of hip-hop.

The idea of studying and preserving hip-hop history is spreading. University presses have published dozens of textbooks on rap and hip-hop's political and cultural importance.

Collections like the Massachusetts Hip-Hop Archive are important. They will allow the history of hip-hop to be studied for generations to come.

Adapted from Thoughts on Government (April 1776)

by John Adams

This excerpt is from a pamphlet written by John Adams in the form of a letter to a fellow statesman.



We should consider the purpose of government before we determine which is the best form. Upon this point all politicians will agree, that the happiness of society is the purpose of government. From this principle it will follow, that the form of government, which communicates ease, comfort, security, or in one word happiness to the greatest number of persons, and in the greatest degree, is the best.

The worth and stability of government in all its branches depend upon an upright and skillful administration of justice. The judicial power should be distinct from both the legislative and executive and independent from both so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that.

We are living at a time when the greatest law-givers of antiquity would have wished to live. How few of the human race have ever enjoyed an opportunity of making a government for themselves or their children.

Excerpt of a Letter from Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, December 20, 1787
In October of 1787, James Madison sent a copy of the signed Constitution to Thomas Jefferson in Paris where
he was serving as the Ambassador to the Court of Louis XVI. This is an excerpt of Jefferson’s response to Madison.

I will now add what I do not like.... First the omission of a bill of rights providing clearly and without the aid of sophisms for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies...

Let me add that a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference...

sophism: an argument that is correct in form but is used to deceive
