Forensic disciplines

According to Michel Foucault in his book Discipline and Punish, the Panopticon is a prison designed to establish power and control of one individual over the prisoners through observation. This observation is achieved through the prison’s annular structure, with the prisoners in confined cells facing the center, and the supervisor in a central tower (Foucault 200). The ring-like structure and the central tower allow the supervisor to see all inmates while simultaneously prohibiting them from…

Sociologist Michael Foucault argues that the existence of power is everywhere, and it influences society and how individuals behave (Mason 2016). He uses his interpretation of Jeremy Bentham’s concept of the Panopticon, to explain this phenomenon. Bentham defines the Panopticon as a circular pillar structure in the center of a prison that is used for the surveillance of prisoners. However, though it can be seen by everyone occupying the building, no one is aware of who occupies the interior; but…

from Peter Senge and its five main disciplines; systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, and team learning. Systems thinking, it is a concept that organizations use to collect information systems that measures the performance of the organization. It is the ability to comprehend, and examine the incentive and the means to integrate the discipline. One example of systems thinking is system maps also called diagrams. The second discipline is personal mastery, it is the…

50/50 One of the biggest tasks parents take on is how to manage their child’s behavior. Child behavior often differs from one kid to another. Children who are taught, or conditioned one way may have different behavioral characteristics than kids taught other certain ways. In today’s society, child behavior is generally controlled through the amount of parenting provided, and through the exposure of being able to make one’s own decisions. There are pros and cons to both issues, and ethically,…

Being on time, or punctual, has always been an important quality in American culture. People who tend to be on time are perceived to be more responsible and organized, whereas those who aren’t always on time tend to be perceived as the opposite. Personally, I agree with the text that describes being on time as being there about five minutes before the intended time of arrival. My mother taught me this tactic and I’ve seen the effects of people who aren’t on time, such as my brothers. In grade…

Is It Discipline or Is It Abuse? He hit me. Multiple times. I keep asking why but he would give me the same excuse, that I need discipline. The thing was I wasn’t bad. So, I didn’t know why he hit me. On the other hand, my little brother was the meanest, and the worst kind there was. My dad hit him too, but not because he wanted to, but because he had to show him discipline. My little brother needed it. The way my father hit me and hit him was different. The difference was abuse and…

sense of security and predictability (Houck & Siegel, 2015). According to Dror et al (2006), contextual information is defined as, information that provides an understanding of the context of an event or issue. In forensic investigations, contextual information affects most areas of forensic science, from blood pattern analysis, to crime scene management; however, contextual information can produce a number of different outcomes with the exact same evidence (Houck & Siegel, 2015). According to…

substances into a real and tangible science that can be applied in real life. This elaborate discipline is called forensic science, and has become a large part of law enforcement and due process of criminal investigations. While many are skeptical of the true effectiveness on the relatively new science, one can see from the multiple studies and observations of experienced scientists and crime fighters that forensic science is a reliable and effective resource in…

Forensic Scientist helps investigate crimes by collecting and analyzing crime scene evidence (Occupational Outlook Handbook). The scientist can have a focus of the crime scene or laboratory work. Forensic scientist needs some knowledge in writing for the lab reports needed after an investigation. This work environment interested me as a begin high school being in a program from the Chattanooga Police Department. In the program, we learned the lifestyle of the officers and everyday scenarios they…

Escobar brothers were the ones who had committed robbery in various towns. One of them, Jorge Escobar, was my grandfather. This type of heinous crime where three innocent men died is the reason why I am a Forensic Scientist and ultimately shaped my decision to obtain a Master’s in Chemistry. Forensic Science is any natural science or physical science, like chemistry, that is applied to the law. Hearing about my grandfather’s death pushed me to focus on a career where I can serve justice for…
