Bray Amaraos is an individual that for most of his life was in a vicious cycle of chaotic social and personal influences that Bandura called reciprocal determinism. That is, external factors, such as rewards and punishments, internal factors, such as beliefs or thoughts, and behavior as explained in chapter 13 in our textbook.

Prong 2: The vast development of forensics since 1971 could now easily intimidate D.B. Cooper out of attempting this crime again. Technology back then was too underdeveloped to catch a calculated criminal like D.B. Cooper. DNA wouldn’t be used forensically for until nearly 15 years after the hijacking. Had this technology been around, D.B Cooper would be rotting in jail as we speak. Investigators have attempted to obtain DNA particles from evidence, like his tie, but nothing has come of it.…

Throughout history, there have been many robberies in America, but only one remains a mystery. The name Dan Cooper, also known as DB Cooper, is well known by many. This was the name of the passenger who skyjacked the Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 on November 24, 1971. Cooper threatened to blow up the plane if he was not given four parachutes and 200,000 dollar, so Northwest Airlines responded willingly. After landing in Seattle to get his demands, the plane refueled and took off again.…

Phoniness, falsehood, uneasiness, tension, indecision, gray flannel aspirations, and insecurity were the defining propositions of the decade. Suburbia, American dream, and gender roles also ruled the decade. When men entered domesticity after a long absence after postwar they found it very difficult to settle down. They felt uneasiness and frustration and found it difficult to manage home, work and their very identity. The unrest in the mid-1950s was gauged by the same uneasy representation…

That Saint that I chose to be my model throughout confirmation and to base my Saint report on is Saint Michael the Archangel.

Ever since I was little, I would always watch movies and TV shows involving police and soldiers because I admired them so…
