the graffiti community overpopulates street art and causes society to view graffiti as a whole as negative. These forms of graffiti are illegible by the general public and are viewed as threats because the message behind them is uncertain and they may send negative messages. In a recent study conducted by the Economic Research Centre (ERC), the insecurity felt by outsiders of the graffiti community was described. “Given the limitations of current approaches to graffiti as a form of vandalism, we…

divided into distinct groups on the basis of inherited physical and behavioral differences” (Race). “The number of reported incidents of police brutality and excessive force toward Black men could very easily lead one to believe that the Black man may be American law enforcement’s worst nightmare” (Tyler Cole). Police brutalities are…

Several juvenile defenders will argue that not all minors have a reason to commit a crime. They can argue that in Jenkins 's article, "On Punishment and Teen Killers," she mentions that a teenager murdered her pregnant sister and her husband for the "thrill to kill," as Jenkins describes it (Jenkins 91). They will argue that adults dont murder for the "thrill to kill," and that some juveniles do it without targeting anyone specifically. They might not have a reason to why they committed a crime,…

research being fairly aged the statistics may not hold the same level of reliability and validity as it did in 2009. However, the information provided was very informative and understandable. The research set a good starting point to understanding the effects of New Zealand’s water usage. Although the case study that the eBook is based off was only conducted in Kapiti Coast, considerations and estimations that were made were educated and took the entirety of New…

Azar Nafisi and Maggie Nelson both address the issue of the ideology of art in their respective works, Reading Lolita in Tehran, and “Great to Watch.” Nafisi’s work focuses on whether or not one can use art as an escape to an imaginary world of their own ideologies. Nelson tries to show how art can let everyone have their own thoughts and ideas, without the presence of bias from the media. Ideology is best defined as an interconnected system of ideas, and both Nafisi and Nelson’s works…

important. When you handle a gun you are in control with what happens. I believe if people would stop abusing our gun rights I think our chances will increase in winning this debate. I am not going to lie, people make poor choices. Gun control may seem like an easy way out, but it is not. It will only make things worse. While this has become a big issue, I believe it should not even be an issue. “Let us remain worthy of Madison’s confidence in the American people and defend the Second…

older, African roots. Kiswana is dedicated to a movement that advocates pride in being black, rather than a conformance to white normativity. This approach, unfortunately, splits the world into “American” and “African,” overlooking the fact that there may exist a confluence in “African American.” Similarly, Wangero, formerly Dee, searches to assume an identity with a greater African influence; however, her motivation for doing so results…

individuals watch violent shows to numb themselves from reality. People also use these violent acts as an excuse to hate or discriminate on a particular race. These ideas of images portraying violence and sadism is illustrated in “Great to Watch”. In Maggie Nelson’s “Great to Watch,” she speaks of “banality and terror”, a paradox that seems to suggest that individuals resort to these violent show as a mean to distract themselves from the mundane daily activities. On the other hand,…

diverse source of health care. Planned Parenthood was founded October 16, 1916 as a “nonprofit organization that provides reproductive health services in the United States and internationally (Wikipedia). If Planned Parenthood were to be defunded, they may have to close all of their buildings. This would result in an increase of unwanted pregnancies…

In the patient setting, this failure to communicate adequately within teams can result in significant information being omitted and may have adverse consequences for the patient (Larios 2010). Dingley et al. (2008) suggests that in the absence of good communication, 70 per cent of clinical incidence events occur. Nonetheless, during this process I learned to develop personal knowing…
