I sincerely believe that there are other techniques, rather than incarcerations, to teach a lesson and ensure that they will never commit a crime again. A Masters…
The biggest influence on me as a writer was the introduction to National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. NaNoWriMo is a worldwide phenomenon based out of California. The basic idea is to give writers a chance to stretch themselves by challenging them to write fifty-thousand words in one month. As November approaches each year, novelists prepare to be antisocial and concentrate their brain power on hammering out a novel. From my first introduction to NaNoWriMo in 2013, I have participated…
Throughout history communities in America face the harsh reality that throughout their life they will be policed. The act of policing is the creation done that insoles personal control, social control, political control, and some aspects mind control.

multiethnic students from different cultures and countries. Now having that in mind, the school systems, educators, and policies must tolerate the fact that these students are not like the native ones. They think, act, and talk differently.

itself with its economy in ruins, and its government plagued by corrupt bureaucrats and lobbyists violating the constitutional rights of its citizens. From the fraudulent businessmen in Wall Street, to the institutional racism found in the justice system, the many problems that lie inherent in these establishments primarily stem back to one single institution: The government. The tide has swept back from the previous revolution, but now it is time for it to build back up. There must be a…
Introduction: In 1996, the U.S national welfare system switched from the idea of welfare as an entitlement program, to welfare as a time limit- work based concept. Through the implementation of The Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), previous federal programs were replaced by block grants. This modern policy complicates the opportunity to gain a higher education and income for mothers on welfare. This study focuses on 64 mothers on welfare participating in CalWORKS. The program allows an adult…

Some schools all over the country have already adapted to the virtual classroom system. Colleges are allowing Postsecondary students to attend their classes online rather than driving to the campus, and there are K-12 schools that are ran completely online. Despite the successes of virtual classrooms, though, they are not helping…
racism and sexism is what she terms intersectionality. The theory states that the various aspects of humanity do not exist separate from each other but rather are interwoven. These aspects are gender, race, sexual orientation, class, and disability. Systems of justice often try to isolate or separate each aspect. When this is done essential meanings can be lost and misconceptions can be formed (Crenshaw, 2016). This theory proposes that you cannot examine one aspect of an individual to…
et al., 2014, p.2). The explosion left many dead, and hundreds injured in the local surrounding area (McNeill, Pell, and Roberts, 2013).
