Every modern society, culture, race, and religion share one commonality. That commonality is laws. Laws are one of the most foundational pieces of a society. They serve to maintain the balance of order and security, and to prevent total disillusion and anarchy. Laws are made to establish what is acceptable and what is wrong. When laws are broken, there comes consequences. While every society develops and establishes laws, the consequences do vary based on cultures. Two crimes will be analyzed…

would also be able to see what worked and what did not work based on the received collected data. Another evaluation strategy would be to measure performance. This could be done by seeing if the created tasks were completed, how they were completed, and how long it took to complete them. This is beneficial in evaluation because if the created tasks were completed then the objective they were created for was also completed. This will allow me to see what was successful and could be used again…

character Meursault demonstrates many psychopathic tendencies for which he is ridiculed during his trial for killing an Arab Man. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a psychopath as “a mentally ill or unstable person; especially : a person affected with antisocial personality disorder” and this definition perfectly aligns with the personality of Meursault (Merriam-Webster). While Meursault’s personality has both sociopathic and psychopathic traits, he is more aligned with the traits of a…

Important Information In Los Angeles during the summer of 1955, Doctor Foster had enough patients to secure admitting privileges at a hospital; however, it was not near Cedars Sinai or the UCLA Medical Center. The hospital was near his office and was called Metropolitan Hospital (Wilkerson, 2010, p. 309). The majority of the patients were of color, but the hospital doctors were white, with the very few exceptions, Doctor Foster was one of them (Wilkerson, 2010, p. 309). Doctor Foster dreaded…

hear people refer to the monster by the name Frankenstein. This goes to show that “Frankenstein” as a term is still very relevant, and Shelly can take credit for first coining the word in 1818 when she published Frankenstein (“Frankenstein,” Merriam-Webster). Even still, time has taken a toll on the meaning of “Frankenstein.” This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; language is constantly evolving. For example, the roots for many spoken English words are derived from Latin, and their meanings have…

have to say it aligns with the definition given by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, which states a family is a group of people who are related to each other by common ancestry (Merriam-Webster). This definition gives the impression that your family is only consisting of your parents and your siblings. Many people even consider their pets part of their family. I, myself, do not agree with this definition since I agree with the Merriam-Webster definition of family. I was born into a family where my…

These circumstances have violated several virtues. One major virtue that has been violated by Mattel is fairness. In Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, fairness is defined as "agreeing with what is right or wrong” (Merriam Webster, 2016). In several instances, Mattel failed to be fair to employees, and their code of conduct. For example, the article states that employees at some Mattel locations were forced to work "excessive…
