The Narrow

the strengths first. I believe that my decision style of analytical played a role in helping to make a decision of choosing the five candidates for the position. Being able to gather as much information as possible helped to compare applicants and narrow down the search. However, when it came to selecting the best fit for the position; the only way a decision could be made was by calling references. Although that is the last step in the hiring process, there should have been an element of…

He shoots and my body reacts instantly, dipping forward and dodging the bullet. I step towards him, closing the distance between us and send an upper-cutting right to his jaw. It’s my silver fist that hits him and he drops to the ground, teeth clanking together. At the same time, my right-hand reaches out and twists the gun out of his grip. I straighten up and fire one shot at the man who’s about to knife Jensen in the back. He drops to the floor, dead. Okay, maybe killing a guy isn’t such a…

Puritan thought, the so called start of American thought, and the time of the Puritans was very important for the development of American history. Two tales that show the flaws in thinking and judgment of that time are “The Crucible”, and “The Scarlet Letter”. Both of these stories give a similar portrayal of the Puritans, the freedom that can be won - or lost - by a symbol, and shows how sin, whether it be lying or adultery, can destroy you. However, these narratives also differ in many ways…

My first week at the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation, or Camp Hohn as everyone called it, was probably one of the worst weeks of my life. The camp looked nice on paper; it was described as a 120-acre camp on the banks of the Lake of the Ozarks, with bluffs overlooking the lake and many campsites,all surrounded by a five mile nature trail.

Sociology can help law-makers do a better job at doing their job. I am sure there are already certain provisions that include sociologists’ insights. More and more, I hear about different…

LEAD PARAGRAPH Zakynthos Island is called “The flower of the Levant” for a reason. Its eastern coastline widely differs from the western, and while the first abounds with green hills and settlements, the latter is dominated by rock formations and narrow coves. Since Zakynthos’ dramatic and wild coastal beauty is best perceived from the sea, taking a whole day cruise is highly recommended. Although it’s hard to separate one top sight from another during the Zakynthos cruise, a couple of…

To narrow down exactly which crime data collection data gives the most reliable representation of crime rate in the United States I had to rule out which ones I knew where not. With all great sound arguments one must lead with the process of elimination first. So to begin this journey I first researched the three most profound data collections: Uniform Crime Report (UCR), The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), and The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).
