Mike Sonko Analysis

Decent Essays
Peter Kenneth has told off Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko for "epic hooliganism" and "gangster politics".
The Jubilee governor aspirant has termed Sonko's antics foolish, saying they are not in the same competition.
"A lot of times we get provoked and people say 'Why don't you respond? Why don't you react?' And I keep saying, if we react to foolish acts people will not notice the difference. We will confuse the fraternity more," Kenneth said.
"We are different. I offer leadership, he offers hooliganism; I offer a way forward, what he offers is cheerleading to groups of gangs and encouraging gangs.
"I went through some school, perhaps some school went through him. But we should not score own goals. We should score goals on the other side," he added.

In chapter 3, Rios follows two boys who each found their way into crime because of the lack of other options. In the case of Tyrell, with his father being unable to get a real job, Tyrell saw selling drugs as the only way to make money with which to support himself. “They chose to commit a crime,” Rios comments of the boys in his study, “consciously calculating the potential risk of arrest and incarceration. Many of the boys came to this assessment after believing that they had no other choice,…

    Reading a standard American history textbook from cover to cover, one would likely not run across many references to the natural world. Occasionally the author mentions the influence of mineral discoveries, or devastating natural disasters such as earthquakes and dust storms, but never how the environment molded the societies that developed within it. Ted Steinberg’s Down to Earth: Nature’s Role in American History is a noticeable departure from this methodology. His ambitious goal is simple, “to change the way you think about American history.” (Steinberg, ix)…

    The conflict and consensus models are two parallel models that work toward furthering the protection of society. The conflict model focuses on preserving the rights of the people while the consensus model focuses on public safety (Cronkhite, 2013). When considering how these two apply to viewing criminal justice as a system it is quite simple. The conflict model creates an urgency to protect the people from harm yet also to preserve individual rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution. If the conflict model is to be applied to criminal justice, then it is important to recognize that laws and policy can be implemented by the criminal justice system to combat crime, while also ensuring that the people do not lose their rights.…

Rose brings up many important points in his study about the educational system, but fails to mention other factors that could cause a student to not reach their true potential. These factors, such as race and social class, nowadays, contribute greatly in the…
