In general, experience is very valuable and can aid in making decisions or judgment calls. Racial Profiling compromises the structure in which America stands. With Constitutional laws that are supposed to protect us as American citizens from any discrimination or mistreatment, Racial Profiling is still being practiced. It violates our human rights, causes…

Harvey believes that scholars that adopt a new theory quickly are vulnerable to use the work in an abusive way that will benefit their own thinking. An example of this misinterpretation can be the work of Lawrence Mead who, like Lewis, was concerned with poverty and how it affects society. In his work “The Logic of Workfare; The Underclass and work Policy” Mead examines the lower class in 1989 and focuses heavily on the number of jobs and their availability to the lower class. This writing is…

To Protect and Serve: The Progressive Expansion of the Police During the depression at the end of the 19th century, the Bradley-Martins, New York socialites who were determined to organize their most extravagant party to date, spent large sums of money to host a costume ball. This ball was highly criticized throughout the country due to the public’s antagonism towards the wealthy and prevailing public opinion that the elites were living wasteful lives. While the Bradley-Martins argued that they…

With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past 40 years, the future of society, economics, and creations is at a particular fulcrum point. We are at a threshold where in the next 20 to 40 years, AI can become the foundation of all functions of human life, whether it be legal advice, driving, cooking, or stock trading. The acquiescence of AI into society has the palpable potential to remove human-centered facets of life, ranging from the near removal of a human workforce, to…

The federal minimum wage is currently set at $7.25 per hour. Many people around the nation are pushing for the minimum wage to be raised to $15 per hour, almost double of what it is set at now. This may sound like a good thing when first hearing it, however the effects that it will have on the economy will be far worse than having a lower minimum wage. If the minimum wage was raised to $15 per hour the inflation would also raise due to businesses raising prices to cover for employee costs,…

The Antichrist will persecute the saints. Disagreement exists whether these saints include believers in Christ that enter the tribulation period, or whether these saints are “new” believers that come to faith during the tribulation. It all depends on one’s interpretation on the timing of the rapture — God’s removal of believers from the earth by a super-natural snatching away. Various theological interpretations regarding the rapture’s particular timing in regards to The Tribulation is beyond…

In 2015 a new figurine from Playmobil sold 34,000 units in 72 hours, setting a new record in Germany. This toy was a 3-inch Martin Luther released for the 2017 celebration of the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther’s relevance is strange since he was living in the early 16th century and his actions are long removed from the German Nation today. But because of his Church, his Bible and his political use, Martin Luther seems synonymous with German nationalism and specifically that of early 19th…

knowledge; it is that which comprehends all science, and that to which all science must be referred” (503). Science is rooted in natural observation; and, therefore, nature contains all that science has and ever could discover. Human action is reactionary to natural law; despite its greatest desires, humanity has not truly conquered nature. Nature is the legislator of humanity’s actions – acknowledged or…

“The poetry of The Tower period is rich because of the fullness of Yeats's life, because his style was reaching maturity at the same time as his life.”(p.193) This is how A.
