acts and our celebrity obsessed culture potentially be influenced or do the same wrongdoings as celebrities. For example, Deborah King states, “Winona Ryder has been arrested and convicted of shoplifting.” This shows that celebrities influence us negatively because some followers of her may think shoplifting is acceptable. Most of the media pay attention to the wrongful or tragic actions in celebrities’ lives. (King 4) This means that more of the media swarms with news about the bad…

During a sermon, he was addressing "That shoplifting by the desperate from chain stores might be acceptable behavior." While Rebecca agreed with the father, she wanted to go in depth to find out why these people are so desperate to make shoplifting an acceptable activity in this society.

In American Anonymous: Eight addicts in search of a life written by Denizet-Lewis (2009) I found interesting that in our society, there are many people who suffer addictions which are health problems that are common. I like how Denizet-Lewis describes each character, because he provides a lot detail. The language that he uses is colloquial, which let the readers get engage. Studies have shown that social factors play an important role in the development of human behaviors that include the drug…

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are the three well-known powerful words in the Declaration that are given to all human beings (Jefferson). Yet, they are taken away the moment you step foot inside a prison. Locking away inmates for life, for nonviolent crimes should not be upright. Withdrawing pointless money from tax payers is absurd. The Declaration of Independence states that the government should protect unalienable rights. How is life protected in prison when they literally take…

Reading the case example, Derek is still considered as a teenage boy. He had made many illegal violations of rules like arrested for shoplifting, vandalism, joyriding and drug use.

From the DSM 5, the symptoms for conduct disorder aggression to people and animal, destruction of property, deceitfulness or theft, and serious violation of rules. In the symptoms of conduct disorder, Derek has at least three out of…

In the business world, corporations use retail profiling as a tool to prevent crime or fraud within their store locations. Retail profiling is a discriminatory practice, which allows the workers to focus on the race of the customer, to deem someone suspicious of offenses. Retail profiling is an issue because it targets shoppers, effects the trust of the customers, and also gives white shoppers an unfair advantage. Many employees that work for corporations are instructed to profile shoppers by…

Bullying is a major problem among all schools in the United States and all over the world. Bullying generates fear, alters a student's abilities to learn, and leads to anti-social behavior. It can lead to severe acts of violence such as suicide. Also, some school shootings have been linked to bullying like Columbine and Santana High Schools in the early 2000s.
