Over the course of human history, the concept of justice has been indefinitely disputed. Today, the definition can be told as: fair behavior and treatment. However, many intellectuals still fight over the applications of whether or not one thing should be considered “just”. In the past 100 years, authoritarian regimes have dominated a vast number of prominent countries. Many, maybe even all, of these societies committed acts that crossed the line of equitable, and fell to crime. The tragedies of…

During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries there was a massive influx of immigrants into America. As the immigrants continued flooding the country, many Americans began to support restricted immigration; they became known as “nativists.” American citizens had always expected new immigrants to assimilate into the country and its culture so the appearance of multi-ethnic neighborhoods and the persistence of old world customs was very unsettling. As a result nativists worked to…

Borderlands is a game that revolves around the player’s ability to level up wisely and attain the correct items to help the people of each town, that are in need.

Femininity and masculinity are structured and well thought-out in a divergent binary, which causes to be the mishmash of male/feminine and female/masculine “atypical” and publically obnoxious while crossing…

life beyond criminology. To transcend that level of analysis, (Mendoza 2008) demonstrate how hemispheric localism as a concept can yield an ingenuous tool to comprehend the binary of the Norte and Sur. It connects the local to the global, hence the borderland is no longer the sole defining feature of this distinction. The previous notion of neighborhood as the focal point in the making of gangs proved to be limited and false, as they are multilayer of markers including linguistic, racial and…
