ticket and community service for that. Another thing is when one child do it, it can get passed on to so many other kids.

Places like Baton Rouge , Memphis, and California is known for all the graffiti vandalism around the…

discrimination of African-Americans in his bar. He claims that the discrimination is “how things are in a little place like this,” (153). He proceeds to go on about how the town “ain’t no Baton Rouge and it ain’t no New Orleans.” This is important because it demonstrates how cities, such as New Orleans and Baton Rouge is becoming more integrated compared to rural towns. Furthermore, it indicates that there is still de-facto segregation despite the fact that there are laws against it. This sets…

It was love at first sight—only, I didn’t know it at the time. I flew into New Orleans the summer of my senior year to visit family, not to visit Tulane. I didn’t even decide to visit Tulane until I was in a Best Buy parking lot on Veterans Memorial Boulevard. The first thing that was really enthralling about Tulane was your generosity; it was clear to me, when I pulled up the website on my phone and found that we could get a discounted hotel rate for the night—the Hotel Monteleone was wonderful…

As of 2014, the Gallup survey revealed that nursing has been ranked as the number 1 ethically sound and honest profession for 12 consecutive years (Kentucky Nurse, 2014).

She was involved in a march for the death of Alton Sterling and did not resist arrest, she simply disobeyed the police officer's order to get back and then they arrested her.

The necessity to prevent hostilities between the white settlers and the Indian tribes inspired Major General Andrew Jackson’s conduct during the Creek War of 1813 to1814. Although it was often contentious and violent, the war was successful because of Jackson’s steadfast leadership and grit. As a General Major in the military, it was Jackson’s responsibility to protect the white settlers and enable westward expansion. The leadership that Jackson demonstrated during the Creek War not only…

their time. Helping people, especially children, has always been a passion of mine. In five years, I want to be in a position to give back to others. I want to organization food and clothing drives for the overwhelming number of homeless people in Baton Rouge. I want to build shelters and safe spaces for them to stay in.

The part of the criminal justice system that I think needs the most reform today is the law enforcement sector. The law enforcement in the United States are responsible for keeping the peace, apprehending violators of the law, providing social services to the communities, and taking action to prevent crime from happening. The specific aspect of the police which I think needs to be most reformed and reformed as quickly as possible is the racial bias that can be seen widespread across police…

Lisa Tessman’s article describes the three problematic traits towards political resistance: anger, courage, and loyalty. With anger, Tessman thinks that political resisters need to “train” or control their anger carefully; otherwise, it could lead to errors where people can become angry at the wrong target or use their anger to an excessive degree (Tessman, 120).
