The officer received a suspended sixty-day sentence and a fine of $ 1,000 for his plea. White was…

Watching this film broadened my view of how the society I live in, works. Being black in America is truly one of the most horrific and challenging experiences a human being can go through. In America, slavery has been reincarnated through the decades to the Jim Crow laws and in present day, the prison system. Since the coming of our ancestors two centuries ago, our people have been mistreated and denied basic rights. Prior to watching The 13th, although I was not ignorant of the present issues…

My experience at the prison was very insightful and interesting to say the least. I learned things I never knew went on in a prison like how a good amount of the inmates had televisions in their cells or that they could purchase tablets to download music to by using a program called JPay which is a service including money transfer, email, video visitation, parole, and probation payments to inmates throughout 35 states. I was also very shocked to see in front of a few inmate’s cells that they had…

In The Metamorphosis, a novel by Franz Kafka, the protagonist Gregor Samsa Wakes up to realize he is an insect. The tragedy of a working man that maintains his family and that later turns into a useless insect can symbolize the typical male figures worst nightmare, being unable to support his family financially. The figure of an insect can symbolize a similar “disease” that the protagonist on “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman was suffering from. In the “Gender and Pathology In…

In the spring of 1846, Eliza Stacey, realizing her desperate need for money, writes a letter to her father-in-law Edward pleading for his support in paying her family’s debt. The composition of her letter was critical as her husband remained in prison unable to pay their debt and her pregnancy was taking its toll. Eliza utilizes alliteration, understatement, and pathos to reach the generosity of her father-in-law all while examining her own situation with grace. Stacey opens the first paragraph…

In today’s world, gender rights are a hot water topic that not many are willing to wade into the rough waters that is Feminism and Men’s Right are constantly at each other’s throats or perhaps at each other keyboards. With each stroke of the keyboard they become angrier at each other and almost begin to forget about their beliefs and just desire to prove the other wrong. But both sides have validity in their opinions. Early Feminism was started during the Women’s Suffrage movement with women…

[In the criminal justice system the prosecutor plays a critical role in the delivery of due process. The prosecutor is an officer of the court with distinct responsibilities and duties. The prosecutor is charged with the responsibility for prosecutions with the authority to employ discretion in charging decisions in the jurisdiction (NVPAC, 2016). Which means not charging a case that is not substantiated by probable cause. The prosecutor is an administrator of justice, an advocate for victims of…

An Unsuccessful Plea to Save American Humanity The atomic bomb is the single most destructive weapon that has ever been created. Built in response to the ever increasing threat from the Axis forces of World War II, the atomic bomb packed the force of 12,000 pounds of dynamite and was capable of destroying an entire city. It was in August of 1945 that the United States used the first atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima killing tens of thousands Japanese civilians in one fatal swoop,…

were prosecuting James Earl Ray, I do feel my case would be strong enough to win at trial. A strong argument for my reasoning is due to the fact Ray’s own attorney convinced him to plea guilty. His attorney had hundreds of murder case experience and agreed the case would be strong against his client convincing him to plea guilty in order to not face the possibility of the death penalty (“The Martin Luther King Assassination,” n.d.). To make a convincing case against James Ray, I would first…

somewhat secretly transported to an Army psychiatrist to obtain a professional diagnosis and opinion of the state of his mental health.
