When We Were Very Young

for the very first time in my life with my Prison Ministry course. I always road pass the building to get to work, but never been inside to see how the buildings were structured. I have never been jailed, but always knew someone affected by the criminal justice system. For me, I grew up in a home where, I was taught to be respectful to others, Christian beliefs, morals, and values instilled into me at a young age. I know these same core principles were also taught to the many of the young men…

wore was very formal. Men would wear long trench coats with high waisted pants, vests underneath their trench coats, as well as bow ties and tophats. This would be their everyday attire, even though in today's time, it would be considered formalwear. Women were accustomed to wearing long skirts or dresses with corsets, hoop skirts or crinolines,…

The controversy behind this is an occurring process to this day and we will look further into how youth justice started, and how it came to be to this day. I had the chance to go view a juvenile delinquent’s court case proceeding. The court room consisted of…

There are still many social stereotypes that people meet in the life. Especially, in the oriental countries, people are strict when they establish social norms and judge a situation that relates to the culture or tradition. Stereotypes help people predict and judge a matter that they have to face to make a better decision. However, stereotype also lead to wrong decision if people equate one with the rest without adequate analysis and observation. In fact, judging an individual based on…

every £1 earned by men doing exactly the same job as them (The Independent 2014). Many have speculated as to whether the glass ceiling actually exists, and if so, whether it can, or will ever be, broken. To define what has created the glass ceiling is very difficult, and it is impossible to determine exactly what role the media plays in this. The media represents women generally as inferior to men, the weaker sex. They are generally portrayed as objects of male desire, especially in…

and literature that shaped many human beings. As readers, we are able to see into the literary world but nonetheless and world that reflects the society the novel was written in. Literature can act as a form of propaganda for some writers, for example Lewis Carroll 's Alice 's Adventures in Wonderland. While this novel deals with colonialism we are able to see how Carroll is subtly making fun of it and shows us how colonist and colonialism were viewed from an individual that may not have agreed…

******************************** As society we set standards for how an individual should present themselves in any setting they may be attending. A professor named James M. Henslin (2015), explained that a norm is an expectation that we set of “right” behavior within any setting (49). A norm violation can vary in many situations from affecting a person’s hearing, sight, smell, taste, personal space or just making an individual uncomfortable. Presenting a different type of behavior that is…

When we pick up our favorite magazine to read, do the images stand out in an influential or even impactful way? At first, the pictures don’t have any meaning to us, but it can be said they have a significant effect on how individuals dress and even act. It is in the issue of VIBE magazine from December 1994 to January 1995 that we see this work in an interesting way for those immersed in the culture of Hip-Hop: African-Americans. The images here appeal to both African-American men and women in a…

do with students underperforming. American education is very flawed, however it is necessary. I was a student of a private catholic school from kindergarten to the eighth grade. Now that I am older, I realize how terrible the structure and education was. We were treated like prisoners from the very early age of five. In elementary school during lunch, there…

marriage, or adoption. Most people do not really pay attention to the fact that our families have a great impact on the types of foods we eat. For the most part, yes, our food choices are our own, but our family and people around us also influence the types of things we eat. If we are with people who want to eat at a fast food restaurant, we are likely to join them even if we would not ordinarily eat from such locations. The video showed a mother who had to feel her family on a relatively…
