The dry, desolate desert stretched out beyond him. Nothing but red-brown dirt for miles. no building or people, just the big blazing hot sun above. Everything was still, except for the occasional gust of warm wind that would rustle his hat and send a tumbleweed rolling slowly across the ground. The sun baked the ground so it had long cracks running through it. Sometimes a cactus would stand lonely on its own. He wasn't old, but he did not look young. His hair was dirty and untidy, but he…
This is a game that is completely possible to do and could be entertaining if the graphics and gameplay are done right. Basically, you start at a friend's house or, perhaps even better, at a masque ball, with eerie masks and victorian-like atmosphere or 1920's style. There are at least 12 or so people, including men and women. The game starts with a cutscene in which they're sitting at the table, having some kind of "truth or dare" game, in which they ask each other questions that get more…
Calvary Commission, the seminary that I stayed at, is located a few miles out of town on a land that seems to never end. I could walk miles and still find myself to be on Calvary Commission’s property. The first day I was there, my group and I went on a little hike up to the prayer chapel, which sat on the top of a hill, surrounded by trees, and a bonfire pit stood a few feet away. This was my group’s first real exposure to how great the people at Calvary Commission are. One of the male students…

the William P. Clements Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The prison official, Rick Hudson, invited me to tour the maximum-security lockup in northeast Amarillo. I accepted and spent most of a single day walking through the prison unit. Of all the sights I saw and sounds I heard, the one feature of my tour that gave me the creeps occurred in the "administrative segregation" wing of the massive prison complex. I was invited to step into a cell. I did. Then the door closed behind…

The possibility of forgiveness depends on the people involved and the situation. Some people believe in the common saying “forgive and forget” and live up to it, but others never forgive people for their wrong-doings and definitely don’t forget. In the book Sunflower, the main character, Simon, was not able to forgive the SS officer for his participation in the torturing of the Jews during the Holocaust. This is understandable considering that the Simon was an imprisoned Jew himself. It…

So according to control theorists, crime requires no extraordinary clarification, and it is frequently the most practical approach to get what one needs. Instead of clarifying why individuals participate in…
