The study conducted under Lentini and DeHaan highlights that investigators cannot use patterns as a method to establish how a fire started. This is what caused arson investigation to be described as needing “much more research on the natural variability of burn patterns and damage characteristics” (NCJRS, 2009). This means that arson experts cannot simply look at patterns to determine its origin because there is still a lot unknown about arson and fire patterns in general. This is a common…

In 1640 Descartes published his famous Meditations on First Philosophy through which he shared his personal reflections on the separation of physical and intellectual realities. By demonstrating the distinctions between imagination and understanding, Descartes is able to declare the mind separate from the body. Through logical deduction, Descartes makes a case for the presence of a higher, heavenly power. With new information from modern science, society contradicts his initial comprehension of…

her company’s perceived bad cultural. Where she could have addressed how they were going to take responsibility as a company and improve corporate communication to earn trust and respect back, she instead focused on the many employees who were at fault. This provided excellent material for the media to run with and further damage the culture of General…

What is global Warming? Global Warming is the increase of Earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels or deforestation, which trap heat that wouldn’t stay on the Earth otherwise. This is a really big issue for the planet because it’s said that by the time a baby born today is 80 years old, the world will be 6 and a half degrees warmer than it is now. Main causes of climate change (human) People are constantly adding…

One of my earliest memories is a nauseating blur of deafening screams, broken glass strewn across the ground, my hoarse wailing, and a compulsory one-day stay at Disneyland Resort to “forget.” Under a cracking veneer of perfection, my traditional Vietnamese parents desperately fought to keep the shame of their failing marriage and verbal and emotional abuse a family secret. Then, during my middle school years, social work became undeniably real to me. After being diagnosed with major depressive…

The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) remains the most recent pipeline controversy covered in the media. Though the protests inspired government intervention of construction of the pipeline, the concerns regarding pipeline use remains relevant. One of the main concerns of the construction of the DAPL is that if a burst or leak were to occur, it would result in the pollution of the Missouri River, a main water source for hundreds of thousands of people (Kirby). This concern is not unwarranted: The…

A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines takes place in the 1940’s, a time period of segregation. This was a time when blacks were often at fault for a crime they did not commit, such as what transpired in this book. A man named Jefferson was convicted of a crime he did not commit and was insulted during court. Now his family, friends, and even Jefferson himself were trying to prove the white community wrong about their beliefs that a black man is unequal and lacks dignity for both Jefferson…

Good Muslim, Bad Muslim, which is written by Mahmood Mamdani in 2004, discusses the aftermath of September 11, 2001.

Furthermore, he argues about how we should find an alternative way of thinking about the politics of Islam surrounding 9/11. He argues…

For this paper, I will be forming an in-depth analysis of Adrienne Marie Brown’s “Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds” based on her critique, vision, and strategy. The main argument that I will present in my paper is bringing the concept of emergent strategy as means of a way for all of us from different backgrounds, identities, and beliefs to become creators of our future together. It is through relationship-building between individuals and communities to find a common ground…
