the Law Enforcement field. Each field has its own perks and duties, but the common ground with each and every field is being one with the community. Law enforcement is present in all capacities in the community. Whether it is road patrol, homicide, or even volunteering, all are a part of helping the community. For me, a career in Law Enforcement is a great opportunity to be a respected member in the community, as well as enforcing the laws of this great nation to protect its citizens. Law…

In the beginning of this writing by Plato, Crito arrives at the prison to give Socrates bad news (43c). First, Socrates wonders if the ship arrives, because when the ship arrives, Socrates must die (43d).

The Code of Hammurabi, also known as the Code of Laws, is one of the earliest sets of laws found. Hammurabi wrote these laws in the city of Babylon. “He felt that he had to write them to please his Gods. He did not consider himself related to any God, although he did call himself “the favorite of the gods”.” (Babylonia - Code of Hammurabi - Crystalinks.)

explains that humans did live in a state of nature, but it was a state of liberty where people are free to pursue their own interests without the interference of others. In this state, all people are equal and independent, but are still bound by the laws of nature, so they can’t just do whatever they want.

Divine law is the law of the gods, whatever they will is what must be done. One of the most sacred laws of the gods is…

as law. It was shamed upon to lie in Puritan society. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the characters choosing to not follow the 10 Commandments was partly the cause of possibly innocent lives being accused of witchcraft and executed. While all the people in Salem are suffering from the witch trials, the character of John Proctor is suffering greatly compared to others. Since John Proctor is motivated by love and lust, his decision to finally tell the truth in the end creates absolute chaos in…

Ten Point Plan and Declaration of Independence The Declaration of Independence has championed for the idea that every American citizen deserves to be treated equally without any prejudice based on race or religion. After reading the Ten Point Plan by the Black Panthers I have come to the conclusion that the Declaration of Independence was just a writing that could not be implemented by the leadership of the time, because it mentioned the need for freedom and rights, yet the black people were…
