collections have provided means for further analysis and more precise conclusions. One way to look at the deterrent effect is to compare homicides committed in states during the moratorium on capital punishment from 1972 to 1976 and after reinstatement of executions in 1976. Death rates increased by 91% during the moratorium and decreased by 67% after the moratorium was lifted (Sustein, p. 9). Utilitarian views provide for the greatest good for the greatest number. Therefore, utilitarian…

This can enhance the negative automatic thoughts that one feels even without acknowledging they exist. This is one reason that an individual in the clinical population will become trapped in a circular negative thought process and self-blame (Beck, 1976). In the clinical individual optimum activation levels can not be maintained or regulated. As activation and anticipation increases the individual lacks the resources to stem the increase. Core beliefs are predominantly deregulated with false…

to defeat their antagonist, to complete their task. For the survivor, success is measured as their ability to not only continue to exist physically, but to maintain their humanity in the process, “to keep a living soul in a living body” (Des Pres, 1976, p. 7.) Des Pres utilizes works of fiction to show that heroes are individuals that choose to go through extreme circumstances, coming out changed, growing to incorporate their struggle into their daily life. Survivors, however, are individuals…

How far was racism a dominant feature of British Society from 1958-79? The colour bar of the 1950s showed that racism was still a dominant part of society. The Colour Bar was a form of direct racism where unions, employers and the government all took part in refusing minority races services and employment. For example, during the 1950s, unions and management in business such as Ford enforced a quota system where 95% of jobs had to go to white people. This suggested a dominant racist society as…

The death penalty has continuously been used ever since European settlers brought it over in the seventeenth century. “The first recorded execution in the new colonies was that of Captain George Kendall in the Jamestown colony of Virginia in 1608” (“Part I: History of the Death Penalty”). He was executed for being a spy for Spain. The death penalty varied and each colony had different laws regarding it during colonial times. In Virginia, Governor Sir Thomas Dale enacted the Divine, Moral, and…

humans. The turned focus to land for the sourcing out of food, extraction of natural resources and as a source of income for individuals, has been a norm for years. Decisions on land use have constantly been a part of the evolution of society (FAO, 1976). Since the land use changes have progressed throughout the years, the need for land use planning was brought about. This process of land use planning aims to guide the decisions taken on land…

Government to Government relations and agreements did have connections to imperialism. The open door policy is an example with U.S/China. The open door policy was meant to keep China open to trade with all countries on an equal basis, keeping any one power from total control of the country and refraining from interfering with any treaty port or any vested interest, to permit Chinese authorities to collect tariffs on an equal basis. In other words, the U.S stated that no european power shall…

Capital Punishment An examination of juries in death penalty cases in the early 2000’s shows that 25 percent of juries had no black members, and only 70 percent had two or fewer. Any experts support the strong while male dominance effect and a black male presence effect in cases that involved a black defendant and a white victim. Thus, the attendance of at least five or more white men dramatically increased the likelihood of conviction, and the exercise of the death penalty. Whereas the…

The intentions behind the event in which Charlemagne was crowned Emperor by the Pope at Christmas 800 are an influential part of Medieval history. Barraclough (1976) explains the factors in why Charlemagne did not want to be crowned emperor. The reasons lay in the events that were happening in Italy in 800. The first and foremost reason is that the idea of being crowned emperor did not come from Charlemagne at all. It is said, by his biographer Einhard, that Charlemagne would not have attended…
