The program has been around over two decades, and is still being used in police departments. Of course, with a program like this, there are pros and cons that are present. With the program, it isn’t a sure thing that the program would turnaround the neighborhood. However, past history has shown that the program has been very successful. The main reason is because of that magical five letter word, trust. Trust is the main engine that makes the program go. On the other hand…

The novel was written in 1st person narrator. The book is composed of different letters written by Charlie.

The concept of gates throughout history details the idea of Heaven and Hell and private quarters while providing evocative imagery for us to contemplate. These works are physical manifestations of grand stories, and social barriers. The enormous size and various interpretations of these works, through religious, social or historical context, create a sense of judgment. It begs the question: who and what is allowed to physically and mentally pass these gates? Still, some objects don’t possess a…

How does it come into existence?” These questions ring clear in the opening chapter of Mumford’s book, as he sets out on a journey to discover the deeper meaning of today’s all-to-common city structure. The quest for understanding the fabric of the city is not formed simply on the physical remnants of ancient artifacts, but on uncovering and connecting fragments of the development of religious, technological and societal structures. Within this framework, Mumford exemplifies…

The barbaric way they have been treated have been recorded in many texts, including As Strong as the Mountains by Dr. Robert Brenneman. In this book it shows personal experiences, history and culture. Approximately forty million Kurds make up the…

an impartial justice. True justice would have eyes in the back of her head and a pair of mismatched shoes.” (Ashpence 2015) Just like Eli, I believe that to serve true justice, the situation and past of the criminal should be taken into consideration, because often, situations are not as black and white as they seem. Consequently, there is a grey area present that may be an exception for normal justice. When the grey area is acknowledged the wrongdoer can obtain a punishment that will better…

thought that even at the risk of bloodshed the rebellions were worth the taste of freedom after the long period of absolutism the people of Europe had endured.

He writes that a person is given an identity when nationalism becomes popular in their nation. He expresses how Europeans prefer their freedom…
