The DC Snipers John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo are the archetypes of how serial killers impact the community because the duo was able to inspire fear, remain on the run, and commit heinous crimes. Using a content analysis I will be using 30 newspapers clipping to determine how the spree killing effected the community in the areas where the crimes took place. I will be using sources for background information about media portrayal of things that happen in their communities, also I will be…

Should guns be allowed in colleges if the student has a concealed carry license? Why? Do you believe it’s good for students to have guns? The Rolling Stones did a report on this and the young reporter Ben Wofford. Wofford does not point out that, in reality, Texas legislators—like most employees of the State of Texas—are required by law to allow the licensed carry of handguns in their offices (in fact, unlike professors, legislators are required to allow both concealed and open carry in their…

My take on recent history Write a personal essay in which you discuss your views on a recent event or series of events Not too long ago, while browsing the internet I stumbled upon a short story that has really stuck with me. It was about a man describing the day he bought a gun and left it out on the porch and it did not kill anyone. The man was angry and thought he had the laziest gun in the world. It was barely a short story, really, it was just a few lines, yet every now and again I think…

attempts to cease the shooter. If it weren't for his gun, many lives could have been lost. Many countries have tried to pass gun laws and Australia is one of them. In 1996 Australia spent over 500 million dollars to confiscate and destroy 640,000 firearms. Through the process of the ban a rise…

questioning whether or not they made the right decision. For me they did not make the right decision yes, I believe that people have the right to bare arms but not in public places like school where kids are supposed to feel safe and not worry about firearms. There is a lot to consider when deciding on whether or not it's ok to allow guns on campus for one how will it affect our education. Another one being that majority of gun violence happens in the age group of college students. And lastly,…

I completely agree with your opinions about Hochswender’s essay. When you state that ethos appeal was found in “I drive a large, four-wheel-drive vehicle. Does that mean I’m a bad person?” It is pretty sad that people think individuals are bad if they eat different things or do tasks differently than another individual. The slightest task that an individual does differently than other people will cause that individual to be judged, which is not right at all. People should just worry about…

The general argument made by author Paul Waldman in work “The Case For Banning Guns”, is that guns are pretty much the reason for all the murders, suicides, and mass shootings. And that if guns were banned our society would be better off. More specifically, Waldman argues that he believes guns should be banned. He states that he understands the many reasons gun owners have for not wanting the weapons to be banned. These reasons are valid such as uses for self defense, hunting, or the weapon…

Gangster archetypes: the gangster, the best friend, the canarian, the moll, the mother are some of the key factors that a gangster movie is made out of. This is, according to Hughes, something that any gangster film has to have in order to be a gangster film (215). All these archetypes are carefully defined and are not prone to significant changes which could be regarded as being in sync with the changes in the society. Still, some of thearchetypes did get some alterations, and most visably did…

Analysis of “Just Take Away Their Guns” James Q. Wilson is a man who is very passionate about the issue of gun control. However, in his essay “Just Take Away Their Guns,” that passion gets the best of him in what is decidedly a very biased and unsupported argument for the implementation of “stop-and-frisk” policies in place of more gun sale restrictions. While his claim that people need guns to defend themselves is at times convincing, he fails to provide enough evidence to convince his audience…

Analysis of the Arguments Surrounding the Possibility of the Death Penalty in the Case of the Parkland Shooter With the recent events in Parkland, Florida being plastered on the news at all hours of the day, there are many discussions taking place about the future of gun control.
