Malechi and the Prince: The Reason Princes Marry humble Maidens
Malechi was a very beautiful maiden and talented singer from the hill country Miruega. So beautiful was she that every man who met her on the way always turned back to look at her. For anyone who failed, it was assumed they had a stiff neck. Yet Malechi never fell in love with any man. She never had feelings for men and no attraction existed in her towards them. In a faraway land lived the Prince Othoso, a handsome young man who was under pressure to get married to a wife in order to inherit his father’s throne. Coincidentally, the prince was also not attracted to any lady. His parents had tried to bring the most beautiful girls to capture his attention, but Othoso could not take any of these.
One day while Othoso went hunting, there was no game to strike. Most of the birds flew so high. Because Othoso knew how to shoot without missing, it seemed as though the birds had learnt to fly without perching. This hunt took Othoso as far as the deep forest in Miruega. On the same day, Malechi had gone to the river to fetch water. While she went to ease herself, the monkeys picked her trough and started throwing it from tree to tree. It is then that Malechi started to sing for the monkeys;
“Dear monkeys, sweet monkeys, return my water pot,
Dear monkeys, beautiful monkeys, return my water pot.”
It seemed as though the monkeys listened, but this voice reached the prince, and he found it so beautiful that he decided to go and see the owner. As he came into sight, the prince’s heart started thumbing faster, never in his life had he seen such beauty. It was as though the buttons of love had been switched on in his heart. He came closer and closer; and in Malechi, something she could not explain occurred. Although she had never admitted that any man was handsome, Malechi found striking attraction in the prince. Without wasting time, the prince knelt before Malechi, called unto the names of his forefathers and then asked Malechi; “Will you marry me?”
Malechi wanted to refuse; she thought she would give away herself so easily and look cheap. But a strong force in her heart pushed her too fast. “Yes I will,” the words were out before she even realized. The prince mounted his horse and rushed home to announce the arrival of the long awaited bride. Upon his arrival, he greeted his father with this information and a ceremony was immediately ordered. Wedding preparations were started.
However, the queen was not very happy with this arrangement. She had wanted her son to marry a girl from a royalty like them. She had prepared and nurtured a princess from the neighboring kingdom. In the same way, Malechi’s father wanted her daughter married to a poor man with a humble background like them. When Malechi and the prince learnt about these two problems, they vowed to help one another and struggle for their marriage to survive. They knew they loved one another more than to give up.
Their wedding ceremony was glorious and successful. They worked hard and improved the kingdom that was entrusted to the prince when he became king. The two of them lived happily after till their death. It is for this reason that prices love to marry humble maidens to date.
Elements of Love
For love to occur there must be two parties, a male and female. Love expresses itself instantaneously when the two meet. Prince Othoso hears Malechi singing then meets her by the riverside when she is fetching water. Her dazzling beauty creates a feeling of admiration in him. The same phenomenon is translated to Malechi. These feelings intertwine and become fused in the process. The two fall in love as the Prince proceeds to inform his father that he has found his bride.
Again love is naturally coincidental between two individuals. The fact that both Malechi and Prince Othoso did not love anybody before, probably implies that they were meant for one another. As such, their love had to wait until the two of them came to meet. On the day they get to meet, these feelings which were rather passive and dead come alive and they are unable to control their emotions. They both decide to get married instantly.
In love there is care and commitment. When two people are in love, they care for each other and will ensure nothing bad falls on the other party. When Prince Othose’s mother presents signs of not liking Malechi and Malechi’s father not liking the Prince, they decide to work together to protect their marriage. It is because of this commitment that Malechi and the prince get to mary, and to succeed in their marriage as a couple. If they had showed no commitment towards one another, Malechi would have feared her father. Possibly, she would have withdrawn from the marriage. On equal grounds, the prince would have heeded her mother’s advice and taken the choice of a princess. In this way, he would not have married Malechi.
Finally, love between two individuals is specific as evidenced in this case, and ca not be frustrated to failure by any third party. This is actually true love.
Chemistry of Love
When a person is in love, there are many chemicals racing in the brain and the entire body. A person falling in love for the first time experiences a racing heart, sweaty palms and a flushed skin. According to researchers, this is caused by chemicals such as phenyl ethylamine, dopamine, as well as norepinephrine. Dopamine is known as a “pleasure chemical,” causing a feeling of bliss. Norepinephrine release causes the heart to beat faster and evokes feelings of excitement. Its mechanism of action is similar to adrenaline. Dopamine and norepinephrine, results in elation, intense energy, craving and loss of appetite, as well as a focused attention. It is because of such activities that the prince finds himself liking an girl for the first time, his heart thumbing out loud and his ultimate approach to Malechi. This same chemistry affects Malechi ahen she accepts to marry Prince Othoso.
What drives the attraction stage of love? During this stage, there is a biological drive to focus on one person. Researchers have shown increased blood flow in the area of the brain with high levels of dopaminergic receptors. Dopamine is associated with euphoria, addiction and craving for another person. The high levels of dopamine are also associated with norepinephrine, which increase attention, hyperactivity, short-term memory, goal-oriented behavior as well as sleeplessness. Furthermore, people in love have lowered levels of serotonin, which explains their “obsessive character” and general impulsiveness. Through these chemicals an individual can choose the partner of their choice. This impulsive nature grips both parties. They become obsessed with one another to the extent they never listen to anything otherwise.

The question of whether U.S. should place restrictions on the contents posted on World Wide Web is actually debatable. First, World Wide Web is what forms the internet. The big question one should ask is whether U.S owns the internet. If yes, then they can be allowed to control the contents because after all it is their property. If no, Then it is a completely different thing altogether. Internet contents depend on the interconnected nature of technology. This means that any problem with the web contents is a global problem and not U.S problem. This is why we do have regional agreement like the Europe convention on Cyber crime mainly to regulate issues of cyber crimes. Because of this, it is common knowledge to argue that U.S cannot restrict the contents to be posted on the web unless it is an agreement between it and other nations (Clough, 2012).
However, I could support them to control such restrictions if there is any law that gives them the power to do so. This is because cyber crime page contents are like any other crime which should be dealt with in accordance with the law. This can be supported by the discussion from the CNN’s report where many people from technology world agree that piracy and other cyber crimes are real problems and which results to job loss (Jack, 2012). In this case pirated contents, those of hate messages and the likes should be restricted.
The current laws regarding search and seizure have the potential to violate the Fourth Amendment in a case where the privacy laws seem to contradict the Fourth Amendment laws. A good example is the case where the government installed Global Positioning System (GPS) device on Jone’s car purposely to use it in monitoring the movement of the vehicle which was considered the Fourth Amendment search according to one of the Supreme Court judge. Another, judge also held the opinion that the government trespassed on Jone’s property by installing GPS to obtain information. In considering the second opinion to be right, it means that Jone’s privacy should not be trespassed by the government through installation of GPS. As a result, this becomes a violation of the Fourth Amendment which allows the installation of GPS for search of information (Iyengar, 2012).

The 1968 Martin Luther King Civil Rights and Jackson State University Student Movement
The 1968 Martin Luther King Civil Rights Movement
The civil rights movement had been gaining popularity for over a decade by 1966 as thousands of people of color started embracing the idea of non-violent protests against racial segregation under the law. Worth noting, for some black women and men, the strategy of non-violent protests’ could not hold because they did not adequately address powerlessness and poverty, which generations of systemic racism and discrimination imposed on most African Americans. Without a doubt, the contemporary black loves movement led by black youth from 2012 to current have similarities with those from the past.
Martin Luther King was a Baptist and social activist who played a significant role in America’s civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until he was assassinated in 1968. He sought for human rights and equality for African Americans, victims of injustice, and the economically disadvantaged. Martin Luther was a model of grace and stood as a pillar of hope. He helped remodel sound leadership to the civil rights movement for African Americans. Luther King had an immense influence on American society in the 1960s, and his strong belief in the notion of non-violent protest helped him set the perfect tone for the rights movement (Biondi, 56). He is known for pushing non violent boycotts, marches, and protests which ended up being effective making it possible to pass legislation against racial discrimination. Worth noting, Martin Luther was the driving force that engineered various watershed projects like the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Washington March of 1963 that helped bring about landmark legislation, including the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act.
On April 4th, 1968, Martin Luther King was 39 years old when he was fatally assassinated shortly after 6 pm while standing on the balcony of a two-story room at a motel in Memphis, Tennessee. King had traveled to Memphis in support of sanitization workers strike taking place there and was headed for dinner when a bullet his jaw and severely injuring the spinal cord. He was pronounced dead upon arriving at a Memphis hospital. The months before he was assassinated, Luther had become increasingly invested in the issue of economic inequality in American society. He staged the Poor People’s Campaign that focused on addressing economic problems, including a protest in Washington. In March, he traveled to Memphis to support protests against the unequal treatment of African American sanitization workers. On March 28th, a protest by workers led by Martin Luther led to violence and the death of an African American teenager. After the incident, Martin Luther left Memphis but vowed to be back to lead another protest. When he returned back to Memphis on April 3rd, Martin Luther gave his last speech saying that difficult days lay ahead. And just one day after giving his Memphis speech, Martin Luther King was shot dead by a sniper. As the news of Luther’s assassination spread, riots started across various cities in the United States. Additionally, National Guard troops were sent across Washington DC and Memphis to help restore calm. Worth noting, Marin Luther King played a significant role in ending the legal separation of black people in the South.
Jackson State University Student Movement
It is 50 years since the Jackson State Killings took place and evidently, the crisis of racial injustice in American continue. The Jackson State killings took place in May 1970 at Jackson State College which is the current Jackson State University. Worth noting, at the Mississippi University, tensions were rather high in regards to civil rights and racism. On the night of May 14th, a group of about 100 students gathered at Lynch Street, which was named after John Lynch, the Reconstruction era representative (Kearl, 15). It was alleged that the students were throwing rocks at the white drivers who were using the main road that passed through campus. There had been a false rumor that a civil rights leader called Charles Evers had been killed and this ignited the confrontations between black and white people even more. The students started fires, they were throwing rocks at motorists and overturned passing vehicles, including a large track. Firefighters that were called to the scene requested police support. The police responded to the issue in force and dispatched at least 75 units to Jackson city to help control the crowd while the firefights put out the fire. After the firefighter finished and left at around midnight, the police started dispersing crowds outside Alexander Hall, a dormitory for women. The police opened fire from around 15 to 30 feet of the crowd that was outside the dormitory, the exact cause behind the shooting and what exactly led to the shooting remains unclear. Authorities say that they had seen a sniper on the upper floor of one of the buildings and that they had been shot at from all corners. A search conducted by the FBI looking for sniper evidence did not find any. Additionally, later on, two police officers and a state patrolman involved in the shoot-out were found to have minor injuries caused by flying glass. The confrontation and gunfire that lasted more than 30 seconds saw over 460 shots fired by the more than 40 state highway patrol officers. Worth noting, all windows were shattered using the bullets on the narrow side of the building that faced Lynch Street.
As a result of the incident, a number of protesters were trampled or cut by shattered glass. Phillip Gibbs and James Green, aged 21 and 17 respectively, were murdered in the process of 12 others escaping with wounds. Phillips Gibbs was shot by a short gun near Alexander Hall while James Green was also shut near the police line outside of F.F Roberts Hall. The-then President Richard Nixon appointed a commission dealing with Campus unrest to probe the Jackson State events. Although public hearings were made, no arrests were made in regard to the murders of the two students at Jackson State University. However, the President’s Commission came to the conclusion that the bombardment, which lasted 28 seconds from the police officers and the highway patrol was an unjustified and unreasonable overreaction. The broad fusillade of gunfire to respond to a case of unconfirmed sniper fire is not necessary. Without a doubt, the involvement of youths in the black and civil rights movement is called for. Just like Martin Luther King during the civil rights movement of 1968, the contemporary black rights movement is also interested in social justice issues, which took place mainly in the 1960s for African Americans.
