The Current

This paper examines four current sociological phenomena and their resulting theories, offering possible explanations for the increasing problem of minority abuse by law enforcement. Although there are many other factors I have chosen to focus on racism (ACLU, 2015), militarization of the police force, (Jenkins, 2014) the hiring of veterans by law enforcement agencies (Jenkins, 2014) and a sociological phenomenon known as “the other” (Franzoi, 2012). Two of these seem to play a larger part in…

environment.2” Discussion/Current Research In 1970, Congress created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and passed the Clean Air Act. This gave the federal government ability to clean up air pollution in the United States of America3. The EPA and states, tribes, local governments, industry, and environmental groups have worked to establish a variety of programs to reduce air pollution levels across America3. Under the Act, EPA and states set emissions limits for motor vehicles and…

I find it funny that 12 years ago I would be inside my room with a bunch of papers, a ruler, and my grandma 's glasses on playing teacher with my friends. In that moment I would have never thought that being a teacher would be really what I would want to be when I grew up. I always found myself interested in teaching, I just never knew what grade or if I was really sure if that is what I wanted to do. I guess what helped me clear that up was the beginning of my senior year. It was a week before…

There are many current issues that the police face today and they are trying to make these issues better. The issue today that stood out the most to me was the relationship between the police and citizens. The news constantly talks about different situations that the public encounters with the police, right now all of the stories have been a negative light on the police. This negative light have cause issues among the police and community. In order for this to be fix, there must be a building…

type of electrical current. Starting in the 1870’s the fight over electric currents,…

we use in our daily lives. Without his lasting influence, we still may be searching for a way to harness the electrons whizzing around atoms. Nikola Tesla was an influential inventor who revolutionized modern engineering by introducing alternating current and developing countless designs for electrical devices. As a young man, Nikola Tesla attended the Technical University at Graz, where he had his first experience with true electrical engineering. The Gramme dynamo was one of the first…

generating station 's electrical power distribution system, which provided 110 volts direct current (DC) to 59 customers in lower Manhattan. However Edison became stuck, as in order for his system to work he would need to have power stations scattered every mile to make it economical. Which wouldn’t work, the reason being that to bury the cables would be very expensive and the cables would also lose current over long distances, because of the resistance inside…

Tesla Biography.”) . The Alternating Current is the most recognizable of all his inventions, and is still widely used across the globe to this day. The Alternating Current can make electricity flow either direction, which is more useful than the Direct Current which flows in only 1 direction. This was one of his most important inventions, because of how much it changed the world, and how much energy it saved. It was much more efficient than the Direct Current, because of the ability to flow…

These two field magnets always have opposite polarity. On the middle of the motor there is an armature, two commutators and two brushes. When current flow though the two brushes, one of the brushes touches commutator plate 1 and the other brushes touches commutator plate 2. Then the armature A and armature B turn in to field magnets, because when the current flow though iron that coil with wire, it will produce a strong electromagnetic field. This means that armature A and armature B must have…

sold many patent rights, including those to his alternating-current machinery, to George Westinghouse. His invention the tesla coil that he built in 1891 is still used in radio technology to this day. Tesla eventually died in New York City on January 7, 1943. Tesla didn't get as many patents as Edison did, he only obtained around 300 patents and sold his Alternating Current…
