Bench press

The first drug court was established in Miami-Dade, Florida in 1989 (National Association of Drug Professionals). Drug courts were established because of the “revolving door of drug use” and increasing recidivism rates. Drug courts have the ability to change a person’s life for the better by teaching them how to beat their addictions while providing the proper treatments for each offender. As a result, of the ongoing development of drug courts, it is unfair to expect the system to be…

The topic that I am analyzing is known as the foot in the door (FITD) technique. The FITD technique is defined as getting someone to agree to a small favor in hopes that the participant feels helped and/or cared for; the moment the initial favor is fulfilled, the person follows up by asking for an even bigger request. Two researchers in 1966 named Freedman & Fraser discovered the FITD technique. From their research, they concluded that it is one of the most effective compliance techniques. Also,…

Criticisms regarding elections only reinforce Justice O’Connor’s claim that judicial elections represent an opportunity for partisans and special interests to install judges who will answer to them. In Citizens United v Federal Election Commission , by allowing such groups to spend without limits on communication tools during campaigns, the Supreme Court upheld these concerns. According to the majority, spending represents an exercise of free speech, a right guaranteed by the First Amendment ,…

Lana shot a glance towards the baby blue eyes that she felt lying on her. She saw Mary Eunice's face blow up in a dark shade of scarlet. She saw her body stiffen as she turned her head to the ground and she started to rush towards the exit out of the day room. "Second time this day." Lana chuckled to herself while taking another long drag from her cigarette. She flicked the cigarette over the ashtray, and watched the tiny specks float down from the butt. She finally released the smoke from her…

setting her back on the ground. I high five the rest of my team and they hit me on the helmet with their sticks. We walk back to our bench and do our cheer. “Good game -team name-, thank you officials, WE LOVE YOU FANS!” Following the suit of the other team, we line up and go through the line, saying “Good game, good game, good game…” I walk back over to the bench and take off my helmet and chest pad, keeping on the clunky shin and foot pads for now; I’ll wait until I’m back to the locker room…

I went to Enid, Oklahoma Municipal Court, which was held on September 23rd at 2 p.m. The judge that was over the court room was James Long that featured hearings for adult misdemeanors and traffic court. In addition, I have attended Stillwater’s court and have experienced Mrs. Raun in August. The comparison is to me the attitudes on how handling the people. I have only been in court once because of running a red light and the other times I have went has been for this class and another class…

(one for the defense and one for the prosecution), rows of police offers to the right side of the courtroom who where there because of tickets, arrests, etc. that they had made. Next, the judge sat at the bench with the clerk of court and several other members of the courtroom workgroup at a bench lower than her. The bailiffs were spread out throughout the courtroom with two at the front and two at the back by the…

Hearing Rod Sterling’s comments were extremely helpful. After watching my first episode of the Twilight Zone with my Dad a few years ago, I always wondered where the ideas for The Twilight Zone spawned. Thus, when the students asked the question, “Where do ideas come from?” I was delighted to hear Sterling’s answer. His answer was quite profound. Sterling simply answered that ideas come from “one’s experiences.” I thoroughly enjoyed how he showed that story is personal and comes from the…

In the film, the press shows off its prowess by publicly demoralizing individuals within the society. The press publishes articles with false stories that tarnish out the image and dignity. The press misrepresents the truth by showing the public that Katharina engages casually in sexual activities and that she is of an improper behavior when in fact she is…
