I was born in the United States of America to parents who were born abroad eight years after their nuptials. Born in Kings, Brooklyn I moved to Port-au-Prince, Haiti as an infant with my parents and three siblings. In Haiti, my father stood as a sentinel retired with Forces Armèes d’Haiti and Police Nationale d’Haiti, and my mother employed, as a National Airport Supervisor Safety Authority of Operations at International Airport Toussaint Louverture. Studying French in Mikaline Kindergarten…

article By Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova called “Frequently Requested Statistics on Immigrants and Immigration in the United States” states that there were 41.3 million immigrants in America in 2013 and the numbers have probably shot up drastically since then. Just from that amount shows how many immigrants come to america and that's a substantial amount. Also from the article it states 19 million or 46% of those immigrants were of Hispanic origins and the shot in immigration happened after the…

of one’s skin, and it is unknowingly engrained in the minds of today’s members of society. Alabama joined the Union in 1819 as the 22nd state and was later declared a slave state as part of the Missouri Compromise of 1820. While slavery was officially abolished in 1865 by the Thirteenth Amendment, racism can still be seen generations later. The Criminal Justice System of Alabama is impacted tremendously by racism both internally with personal interactions and externally with legislative actions.…

March 20 2003 was the day everything changed, this was the day American troops stepped foot onto the foreign desert land that.US now know of as Iraq.

Crminal Justice entities exist to serve individuals and families the same way the Department of Human Services does. One sizeable reason systems like these even exist is because crime happens. There are multiple reasons why crime happens and the focus of my efforts are centered on the link between broken families and deviant or even criminal nehavior. I believe there is a direct link between broken homes and crime committed by young people. The government focused in the past on factors like…

2010s, racism was still prevalent despite how far the United States had come from slavery. On February 26, 2012, a white neighborhood watchman shot and killed and unarmed 17-year-old. George Zimmerman, the watchman, claimed self-defense against the black teenager; he was never arrested. This sparked a huge movement across the nation, which would later be called the Black Lives Matter Movement. The United States is not a place of social justice because Trayvon Martin was murdered due to his race,…

claimed to have a list of Russian spies working within the United States government. McCarthy’s speech would have a significant impact on the state of affairs in the United States in the following years and would lead to a quick rise in prominence for the young senator from Wisconsin – along with an equally swift fall from grace. However, the attitudes that came from the Second Red Scare lingered far past McCarty’s death in 1957. The 1984-esque state of distrust and insecurity brought about by…

attack (“Department of Government and Justice Studies”). This important event in American History should be remembered to hopefully prevent it from ever happening again. As terrorism changed from the 1980s to today, so did the types of people who became terrorists (O’Connor).
