Confounding

Howard Zehr (2002), prominent advocate for restorative justice in his book noted 'the primary goal of restorative justice is not to curb recidivism, but to put things right. ' But, how will any Criminal Justice System know when things are right and for whom? It is therefore empirical that the approach be measured by the standard mode all programmes globally are held against, and, in doing so the most relevant measure is the recidivism rate of any crime (Latimer, 2005). For that reason, I…

This fact is supported by the article “The My Lai Massacre.” In the piece, it is constantly brought up that “it is unclear what was ordered” (Kelman, Hamilton). Although in the film, Lt. Kendrick commands Santiago to be given a Code Red, the confounding element in the situation is that there were two orders given to the men. One was to not touch Santiago, and the other was to punish him. Dawson and Downey followed the most recent order given to them, which was to go into Santiago’s room and give…

To reject other confounding variables within a sample group. There also needs to be more research done among more diverse populations to find out if there are any cultural or genetic factors that may be limited to a specific group, that might may influence the development…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a broad range of complex disorders characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication difficulties. Some studies have found that ASD could result from the disruption of normal brain development early in fetal development, possibly due to defects in genes or the effect of environmental factors(cite). Although the results of some animal experiments and population studies indicated the potential influence of vitamin D deficiency in…

Driving along the baron, dusty expanse of Texas Interstate 90, the mundane scenery is pleasantly interrupted by something unexpected, a high-end boutique; a Prada store in the middle of nowhere. Boasting posh stilettos and handbags, patrons will never be able to get their hands on these luxury Italian goods, as the site is, in fact, not a functioning store the work of Berlin-based artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset. Erected in 2005, Prada Marfa functions as a site-specific, permanent…

Rise through Force: European Hegemony and the Military Revolution With the dawn of the second millennium (C.E.), the bulk of Europe existed as a relative backwater and there was little foreseeable evidence that this fragmented conglomerate of fiefdoms would eventually surge forth to control a better part of the known and unknown world. But surge forth it did, and by the twentieth-century the West , for better or worse, had come to dominate and influence societies around the globe. As the…

Defining the word family can encompass many origins, perspectives, and purposes. In the last few decades, the American family has changed significantly. New combinations of family households are more common than ever: the increase in divorce and remarriage, adoption, foster parenting, single parenthood, kinship care, and same-sex relationships. However, the African American family seems to have not only maintained its stagnated structure, but its function as a unit is vanishing from society.…

To both the fictional characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel, and its endless readers, Jay Gatsby’s overly decadent lifestyle and lavish parties were considered to be the ultimate American Dream and a source of excitement and pleasure. However, a close evaluation of the themes of the The Great Gatsby reveals the meretriciousness of wealth and how it brings more displeasure in life than it brings happiness. The first symbol expressing this theme is the color green, specifically the…

An example of a disorganized environment would be a chaotic home for a child. A lot of people would agree with the opinion that children growing up in these disorderly homes tend to not do well in school. As said by Kovas and Haworth, (2007), scholastic achievement to some degree is passed down genetically. The twin study done by Hanscombe, Haworth, Davis, Jaffee, and Plomin (2011) was to examine the genetic and environmental factors that link disorderly and chaotic homes and how well a child…
