Rational choice theory is no different from the principles espoused by Beccaria: Individuals have free will and using this free will they make rational choice to either commit – or refrain from coimmitting – crimes.

And swift, severe and certain…

The Road by Cormac McCarthy. In The Road, McCarthy uses the theme of barbarity to emphasize the love shared between father and son. Throughout The Road, our protagonists struggle to survive in their post apocalyptic world. The man consistently feels the need to ensure his son’s survival. Hoyle states “The Road is a literary portent- the cave is akin to the Underworld and the spider-eyed creature is as forbidding a Guardian at the Gates of Hell as Cerberus, or Milton’s hideous death; meanwhile…

In one’s opinion, William was not discriminated against based on him being obese, but he is protected under the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA). It was explained how the position required him to use certain equipment and climb utility poles, in which he was unable to do so. There were also safety regulations that were required by the utility company as well as weight requirements that William did not meet. Additionally, William’s supervisor made accommodations by not giving him…

The death of Franco elevated Don Juan Carlos de Borbón to the throne. In the years from 1969 up until Franco’s death in 1975, Prince Juan Carlos had remained in the background and seemed to follow the dictator’s plans of appointing him his successor as head of state with the title of King of Spain. Once in power as king, Juan Carlos facilitated the development of the current political system, as his father, Don Juan de Borbón, had advocated since 1946. The transition was an ambitious plan that…

Many of us expect business people to be wise with their decisions, consistent with their schedules, and fully aware of unexpected happenings. One of Main Street, New York’s article, Business Ethics 101 in 2013, by Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell, talks about the advantages and disadvantages of the business field.

they realize that she doesn’t really resemble Ruth. This instance actually serves to indicate the idea that throughout the students’ lives their knowledge and hopes revolved around stories and rumours, but we realize that this only works when they refrain from investigating their stories and rumours closely. The windows that they look through symbolize an invisible barrier that allows the students to observe the outside world without being able to interact with it. Unlike the magazine ad which…

on what they could mean; meanwhile the teacher who is guiding its students along the ruins often bringing to their attention details about every altar, statue, and symbol but never really tries to interpret what they meant and often ended with the refrain “No se sabe que quiere decir” which it is Spanish for “we don’t know what it means” and moved on. These…

Salt is a solute, meaning it can dissolve in anything with solvent compounds such as water; it can also create a mixture when a solute and solvent are combined. Salt, rock salt in this case, is supposed to refrain the ice from forming on the roads. So instead of ice, it might be slush. In this project/experiment we will be determining if the mixture of water and salt will cause freezing point depression once frozen-or almost frozen.When it snows, people throw salt on the ground. The reason why…

treatment for postpartum depression. Her husband, who happens to also be her doctor, is treating her condition with the rest cure; a relatively common treatment for mental disorders during the late 1800s. As required by this treatment, she is to refrain from all intellectual and creative tasks, as they will hinder her recovery. Though her husband loves her and is well-meaning in his care, he fails to see that this lack of stimulation and interaction with the world becomes the cause of her…
