Mike……….. the ADRC had referred the family to us. They must have heard the term veteran and bam. While talking to the family, they told me that he had lost his housing ,and was temporary living with his brother. He was indeed now looking for an assisted living facility but hoped that the SSVF program provide special provisions.…
Everyone has heard of Narratives, and being critics is a one of those human instincts that comes naturally, but what exactly is Narrative criticism? Narrative criticisms focus on stories or events that help us make sense of specific areas in our daily human experiences. There are four elements that play a role in this. First off a narrative most consist of two or more events that are active. Also, they must be organized in a time order fashion.…
Not only that but the only person who claims to have seen him in that time frame “called one of the prosecutors in… the case…and undermined her own statement” proving his actual location was unknown at the time. It is unusual that Adnan would not remember anything about this crucial day because he received a phone call from the police. He says he does “remember that phone call and [he does] remember being high at the time” but continues to deny remembering anything else because the day was “normal”, but, receiving a phone call from the police does not seem very normal and most people would remember the events leading up to it. Another reason why Adnan is legally at fault is because he…
But contrary to that, he should not have been able to tell that he was high if he could remember that but not the call. Adnan comes right out and tells us “I do remember being high at the time because the craziest thing is to be high and have the police call your phone. I will never forget that.” (Koenig, “The Case Against Adnan Syed”). Being able to remember this detail but not being able to recall anything us from the day can lead us to believe that he killed Hae on this day and he is trying to cover up for it by…
Back in 1983, there was a program founded in Los Angeles that had spread throughout the country in little to no time. This program was otherwise known as D.A.R.E. which stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education and what the program did was give advice and teach skills to younger children that are necessary in order to avoid drugs, gangs, violence, and things of that nature that will come about in future of most children (DARE). The problem is that 1983 is over 32 years ago, and the D.A.R.E program that once was in full swing, unfortunately has little to no impact on the children anymore. Something needs to be done to help. Drugs have been around for years on end, but what is astonishing is the variety of drugs that are out there.…
“Nowhere is the unequal status of men and women as obvious as in advertising. Images in magazine ads and in television commercials show women as sexual objects to attract the attention of potential customers to the product.” (Visual Communication) Dolce and Gabanna is notorious for designing advertisements that use sex to sell their products. This advertisement shows a woman being restrained by a topless man pinning her wrists down while other men are watching.…
Fallan Kurek is a young woman who died in England of a blood clot on her lung; surprisingly this blood clot was caused by birth control pills that she has been taking for some time before her death. From their name, birth control pills are a method of birth control, they were approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the U.S. in 1960. Since then they have been used worldwide, as they are considered as the most effective method of birth control, which also happens to be reversible. Birth control pills pose dangerous health risks to women, some of which are fatal; the solution to this problem, is simply replacing them with something harmless, and a considerable alternative for them would be the LARCs. Women who are taking any kind of birth control pills are at a higher risk having blood clots, heart attacks and strokes, and this is because of the chemical composition of the contraceptive pills that contain desogestrel and cyproterone, which are two substances associated with…
The second reason I think Adnan must be innocent is because there are too many inconsistencies that Jay provides during his testimony while being interviewed by the police. Jay provides many stories, which sometimes do not match up to Adnan’s story or to the stories he provides. There were many inconsistencies that did not make sense, of which I will share the 3 that I found most important, which you can find in episode 4 called “Inconsistencies". The…
I am juror number three from the murder trial. I am writing to you so you can hear our reason on why we decided not guilty. I think the boy was not guilty. I think the boy was not guilty because there was no official evidence. The witness statements were not accurate.…
D.A.R.E. The D.A.R.E. program stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Program. D.A.R.E. - ProCon.org. (2014) describes the D.A.R.E. program as “a school-based substance abuse, gang, and violence prevention program in %75 of US school districts and in 48 countries (as of 2013)” D.A.R.E.…
One common entity that connects Carney and Adair is the convict named Dolan. Dolan was also one of the reasons why Adair decided to pay visit to Carney; he wanted to make sure whether the rumours about Dolan being in fact his foster brother Fergus Connellan, were true. Fergus in fact did become a bushranger and was a leader of a gang which consisted of Irish revolutionarists. Fergus and Adair were from the very beginning two very opposed characters since Fergus was the wild oneand “he wasn´t like the human child. /…/…
• What are the issues? Motrin, to attract mothers, fielded an ad that came across as tasteless. The overarching idea behind reaching mothers was well intended but it was poorly executed through the wording in the ad.…
I think this case was poor executed, and they just arrested Adnan to have a person in custody for the crime. The first thing that swayed my mind to think of Adnan as an innocent person was the fact there was no physical evidence. How can you convict a person if you have absolutely no physical evidence what so ever? Sarah Koenig accepted the help from Deirdre Enright and her two team members. She gave Deirdre the case file, and Deirdre had two team members look the…

First and foremost what is Anti Dynasty bill? On January 24, 2011, Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago filed Senate Bill 2649 which prohibits political dynasties from holding or running for elected local government positions. This regards that, state shall guarantee equal access to opportunities for public service, and prohibit political dynasties as may be defined by law. As a youth on this country I am literally agree on the “Anti dynasty bill “ because for me on my own stand this is a really good idea. This idea can give a chance to those people who deserve more the positions that also has a good intention for pulling up this country.…
