like that, but I was too young to realize. My brother and I had grown really close in the past few years, but when I was younger he wanted nothing to do with me. My mom had to send him off to live with his dad, because his friends were arrested for robbery and she didn’t want him to do that. It was just my mom and I living in the house, and she wasn’t ever in the house too much either. She would go to work, then she would go straight to the bar until around three in the morning. I practically…

The word forensic derives from the Latin word “forensis” which means to be publicly known or heard. Most forensic scientists in the 1800 and 1900’s were self- taught but even now there are not many colleges that are certified to give a degree in forensics. Forensic science has been around since 44 B.C. but it wasn’t recognized as a method of science until the late 20th century. Forensic science is an asset in solving crime.

What is the most influential invention of the late 19th century? Well, there are many choices to choose from. There is the light bulb/electricity which is mainly associated with Thomas Edison, the airplane created by the Wright Brothers, the telephone created by Alexander Graham Bell and his partner Thomas Watson, and the automobile/assembly line which is mainly related to Henry Ford.

There are many outlets in which officials can gain the ability to scrutinize, regulate, and influence every action and behavior one makes therefore allowing surveillance to greatly affect the use of public space by standardizing who, when and where protests, art and many other social activities can occur.

War will be the one thing that will bring humans to their knees. How we as humans reacts and handles it depends on if humanity will fall. In the book Alas, Babylon, Helen had said, “You see, all their lives, ever since they’ve known anything, they’ve lived under the shadow of war” (Frank 85).
