Perception When it comes to white-collar crimes, perception is not just everything, it’s the only thing that prevails. As long as we continue to associate white-collar crime with the images of guys in suits, we will continue to treat these individuals with respect rather than fear. Our criminal justice system does not seem to place much emphasis on what may be considered as non-violent victimless criminal activity. The truth of the matter is that these offenses are considered more…

Following the events that occurred on September 11, 2001, Muslims have been subjected to the vile stereotype that projects all Muslims as terrorists. In Brent Staples’ essay “Just Walk on by: Black Men and Public Space,” he argues that black men are victimized because of society's perception of them. This can be compared to the victimization of Muslims due to society’s image of them as well; however, this stereotype is incorrect based on statistics, evidence, and my personal experience. In…

Many of the jobs in Canada were focused around the production of these products, thus when no one was buying them, due to lack of money, these jobs were lost. These products were also Canada 's main exports, accounting for a third of Canada’s Gross National Income (Struthers). Once other…

1. Overview of drug driving Drug driving is the fact that drivers control their vehicle under influence of drugs (Transport Accident Commission (TAC), 2015). According to DrugInfo’s report (2010), drugs can lessen driver’s driving skills. For example, the effects of using cannabis involve weak psychomotor skills, long reaction time required when there is a problem, ability to stay in one traffic lane when moving and maintain speed, reduced visual functions, and attention (DrugInfo, 2010).

According to (Arthur & David, 2014) tort law is described as "a collection of principles describing the legal system 's civil (noncriminal) response to injuries one person inflicts on the other". This view is share by Linda et al (2012) who define a tort as "A civil wrong for which the victim receives a remedy in the form of damages". With these facts stated, I think that it can be said that tort law is the body of laws regarding civil wrongs that cause harm to another person because of…

Singer discuss the excessive mistreatment of animals. After reading the disgusting facts and information about this topic, I will argue that animals that are raised for food need better welfare because it will be beneficial to the animals and the consumers. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that any human species should not be excluded from moral concerns (Park and Singer 28).
