between professors and students, and also provides services on how to study. Since the discovery of the Internet it has become increasingly easy to search for information on topics students are unaware of. Kristen Purcell, a writer for Pew Research Center, wrote an article “How Teens do Research in the Digital World,” claiming “Students access a greater depth and breadth of information on topics that interest them; and many become more self-reliant researchers (Purcell).” Computers have been…

The United States is known as no stranger to criminal correctional needs. Throughout the United States history there have been ways in dealing with those who had broken a law, and it usually involved some sort of court system and possibly jail time. When one looks into correctional systems there is one thing that is missing: children.

was the ringmaster behind one of the biggest prison scandals in recent years. Ciavarella was said to have received more than $ 2,600,000 of secret income from a series of deals with the developers of a privately run, for-profit juvenile detention center (Temple University of the Commonwealth, 2012). “The goal of juvenile court has always been rehabilitation, but it was a revolving door of punishment and incarceration under former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella” (Kalinowski, 2014, p.1),…

The average weight and height of a 17-year-old male is 142 lbs. and 5ft. 7 in. tall. The average weight and height of a 17-year-old female is 120 lbs. and 5ft. 3in. tall (Disabled-World). The average 17-year-olds intelligence about their actions and repercussions is close to none. After reading these things, does it seem fair to place a 17-year-old in adult prisons and jails?

On September 11, 2001, there was chaos in the streets of New York; screams could be heard for miles as dust and debris flooded the air. The view from above showed towers falling from the sky, an event unlike anyone has seen since. More than two thousand people lost their lives that day in Lower Manhattan, as families were broken.

One of the worst terrorists attacks in U.S. history occurred in the date 9/11 in 2001. The attack was about the World Trade Center collapsing to the ground, the Pentagon under attacked, and an attempting to destroy the White House. I interviewed my mom and she says this attack had enough coverage all over the local news and she watched the attack at the hospital after giving birth to my brother.

Throughout the semester we have learned about all the different ways that the welfare can provide assistance to families who are in need. Nevertheless, we have also learned and saw in various ways, the struggles and obstacles families face in order to get what they need to get back up on their feet. George Tillman and John Q are two men who prove that struggling to get what you need from the welfare system is worth the success in the end. However, I personally do not believe people should…
