She believes that segregation isolates marginalized groups from access to resources, capital, and social networks. This case is particularly relevant when examining the gap between whites and blacks in America. Historically, this country was founded upon the principles that justified slavery, racism, and inequality. Today, there…
“There is only one way in which one can endure man’s inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one’s own life, to exemplify man’s humanity to man” was said by Alan Paton. The slave labor of the 20th century in garment factories, butcher shops and mines: where the employer looks upon its workers as less than human, demonstrates man’s inhumanity to man. The merciless owner disregard employees’ human lives for their greed to maximize profit. They murdered workers by using low wages, overcrowded…

I believe that the author, Jeff Jacoby, made many good points as to why the regular system isn’t working to decrease the number of criminals, however not enough was said about why flogging should be brought back. First of all, I believe flogging is inhumane and a completely outdated method of punishing criminals. The writer believes that a public whipping would humiliate criminals enough to not want to commit a crime again. However I believe that it’s just a more advanced way of spanking a child…

The lonesome town of Holcomb had never experienced true trauma like the Clutter being killed before and it left the people in confusion and it left the people in fear as shown by…
