1. James Harden- Houston Rockets Since being traded to the Rockets in 2012, James Harden leads all shooting guards in points scored, usage percentage, and made free throws. He’s established himself as one of the most dangerous offensive players in the entire NBA, regardless of the position. Harden is about as close to a lock as possible to average 25 points per game next season. From his incredibly high usage percentage, to his lack of a legit number two star around him; it’s almost a lock that…

Plus, both ladies have extremely popular TV franchises under their belts. But then again, The Rock has had a lot of success as the king of reboots. He even breathed new life into The Fast and the Furious franchise. So perhaps, the lineup is a sign of blockbuster success. The "Baywatch" movie is a real thing that is happening, so everyone is just going to have to learn to deal with that fact. But fans should know this isn't just some dull reboot, with star Dwayne Johnson promising…

My favorite NBA team is the Golden State Warriors. Based in San Francisco, California, the Warriors have a rich history and a passionate fan base. Founded in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors, the team has undergone several relocations before settling in the Bay Area. One of the defining eras for the Warriors came in recent years with the rise of the "Splash Brothers" duo, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Their electrifying shooting and teamwork propelled the team to multiple NBA Finals…

Being that the testimonies of the witnesses were later recanted, and most of their testimonies were deemed inaccurate, it is safe to say that Troy Davis was wrongfully convicted. Also, the lineups were conducted by the lead investigator, and it is shown that the death penalty is sought out five times more when the victim is white, not black (Baldus et al., 1998). There was no physical evidence at the trial and since the testimonies were all…

An issue in developmental psychology that is a common topic of research is the question of whether or not the testimony of young children can be trusted. Can they recognize perpetrators or even remember events accurately? The answers to these questions should inform how children are questioned as eyewitnesses in the courtroom, and since many people aren’t as educated in this topic, it important for a policy to be implemented to ensure that findings from recent research are being used to…

anxiety was linked with a higher heart rate. Researchers also found that high state anxiety was linked with participants reporting less correct descriptions of the target person, more incorrect details, and making fewer correct identifications from a lineup. The purpose of this study was to test if having high anxiety has an impact on a person’s eyewitness recall and identification.…

“A nail that sticks out will be hammered.” That’s an old Chinese proverb that I heard when I was little. This was the first year I played football and i didn't want to make a fool of myself. “I am determined to succeed.” I told myself but I didn't know how much it was actually gonna take to be an all-star. This past year, I chose to play football for the first time. At first I was nervous about messing up, which I did, but I corrected my mistakes and preventing it from happening by practicing…

murder of Deborah Sykes. This case, as established in the documentary “The Trials of Darryl Hunt,” is surrounded by many issues dealing to Hunt’s conviction. Of these issues, a couple stood out the most; police corruption, prosecution misconduct, photo lineup, false testimony, eyewitness testimony, jury selection, and so forth. As a tool, to help provide a better analysis, course materials will be used. Before moving forward and exploring deeper into the aforementioned problems circling…
