able to determine the exact purpose and significance of the object. However looting does still happen and museums often blame private collectors who buy artifacts off of looters for causing the looting problem. Some governments who believe that artifacts from their country are part of their heritage and they view anyone who removes those artifacts, including museums, as looters (Buying, Selling, Owning the past, 3). Looting in terms of archeology is when a site is illegally excavated for the…

any African Americans on his wall of fame and a black man was killed by police, locals in the neighborhood decided to rise up and fight the power. African Americans broke into Sal’s pizzeria and eventually set the place on fire. The black community looting and burning Sal’s shop to rubble is a prominent example of Malcolm X’s belief that African American’s should rise up and use violence to protest discrimination and unequal treatment. On the other hand, the movie demonstrated the opposite of…

world has changed since 1954 and therefore the law must change and evolve with it. Therefore I propose a multistep solution to help preserve historical sites in the futures. Firstly, damaging and looting of cultural properties should be considered a war crime and any person involved in the damaging, looting or illegal selling of artifacts should be prosecuted under international law. Secondly, local communities should be taught the value of the sites of artifacts present in their communities.…

racial frames, pushing white people to see black people as victims. Comparing the two pictures makes no sense for me, because the both is searching for the stuff that they lost during the hurricane. However, the press means that the black man is looting and the two white people is searching…

Situational Crime Prevention Frailing and Harper (2013) explore the topic of situational crime prevention. This includes the use of outdoor lighting and security cameras, and strategic placing of money handling stations in retail locations (Clarke 1997; Felson 2002). In Philadelphia, where I reside, there are CCTV cameras throughout the city, with special concentration in high crime areas, which are monitored 24/7 by the Philadelphia Police Department. On many structures there are window…

shot of a young black man carrying groceries and the caption says “he’s looting a grocery store”. The second photo taken was of a young white couple with a woman carrying groceries and the caption under this picture read, “After finding bread and soda from a local grocery store.” Comparing the two of these one clear fact stands out and it is the usage of words. It is biased how the picture of the black man used the word “looting”. While the picture of the white woman used the word “finding”. In…

Hieroglyphs were a mixture of both ideographic and phonetic signs, and later made this public with his completed work, Precis du Systeme Hieroglyphique. On top of this great contribution, Waxman also mentions the fact that Champollion was responsible for looting two vivid wall sections from the tomb of Seti I. Not to mention, as stated by Waxman, the Rosetta Stone itself has never returned to…

such as, “Racism is still here and if you don’t think that’s true, open your eyes!” Others are quick to point out, “THE LOOTERS AND THE PROTESTORS ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE! STOP SPREADING LIES,” (sic). Some people disagree with the violent riots and looting, saying, “Out of control,” “So sad. All of those people are so sad,” or “I don’t care what side you agreed with on the Ferguson Trial……

In December 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army attacked during the Second Sino-Japanese War. In a span of about six weeks, the Japanese force engages in systematic killing, looting and raping of Chinese civilians and prisoners of war. However, it is impossible to attribute the genocide to any single cause. It is acknowledged in this paper that a common dilemma faced while studying genocide is to justify its occurrence. Scholars have, for decades, made attempts to justify what causes and motivates…

many protestants end up in jail and some even lose their lives. It is sad to see the way that police brutality controls police officers in a way that just harms families and communities. Why loot? Why riot? When you are not being treated fairly, looting and rioting is the way to go in order to search for equality. Brittany Cooper in her article also states the necessity of rage in the following way. “Rage must be expressed. If not it will tear you up from the inside out or make you tear other…
