Introduction

One of the most significant topics of the Middle East history that is considered to be Arab cultural awakening is undoubtedly Arab nationalism. On the one hand, it gathered strength and coherence during and after the First World War. On the other hand, little light is actually shed on that recent phenomenon. A lot of scholars may even get into a mess in defining Arabs, as well as determining what is meant by Arab nationalism. However, taking into consideration the fact that the twenty-first century is characterized by a considerable political activeness, much attention should be paid to Arabs ...

I chose to write about Trump’s policy focus on the construction of a wall on the southern border because of the much attention that has been given to this policy in the recent past. The fact that there are multiple arguments on the necessity of such a policy make it a good topic of discussion at a time when people are keen to see the appropriateness of the policies that have been introduced by President Trump (Memoli 1). The practicality of the policy with regard to the purpose of curbing the rate of illegal immigration has also been ...

One such instance is the scenario where a deli owner offers to pay for a sandwich that a uniformed police officer goes to buy.

Political Changes in Mexico and Drug-Related Violence

Within a period of six years, closes to 70000 people have died as a result of waves of violence caused by the crackdowns on drug cartels. During the same period, more than half a million people have been displaced, and approximately 20000 individuals have disappeared due to the violence spurred by the illegal drug trade. The political changes that have taken place in Mexico have been consistently blamed for this state of affairs. The war on illegal drugs dubbed la Guerra contra las Drogas initiated by former Mexican President Felipe Calderon in 2006 and later continued by the current ...

Studies have proved the stepping-stone theory, i.e. from simple addiction to “hard core” addiction, which is similar to gateway theory. Some users used canabis or marijuana as a “gateway” or substitute for alcohol, and those who used medical canabis were former canabis users. Charlton (as cited in Reiman, 2009) indicated that substitution with substances was used by some users to address the problem of alcohol addiction, but further using harder drugs for self-medication. Alcohol and tobacco have been regarded “soft” drugs and are used as “gateway” to “harder” ones. The stepping stone suggests that it is a progression (from ...

Illegal Immigration.

Illegal immigrants have increased in the country over the past few years. Some of the pros of illegal immigrants are that they boost the economy through the provision of cheap labor as they are working hard for their families back home.

This aids in the distribution of goods and services. Illegal immigrants pay taxes especially if they work in restaurants and automobile shops. They improve biodiversity and enhance cultures.

In essence, the report shows that Georgia's criminal justice system is facing various finance issues. Many people are in a trial, and a lot of finances have, therefore, been put aside for the development of the prison system. In other words, the huge budget goes to the court of law, public defenders, district prosecutors, and the attorney general (Bluestein, 2016). Primarily, this has brought numerous challenges as the state has to keep up with these expenses. Notably, I chose this article because I am passionate about development.

The environment is one of the crucial components that enhances sustainable development. It is worth noting that environmental crimes are viewed to be less important compared to traditional crimes. Law enforcement agencies tend to ignore environmental crimes in society. Environmental crimes are threats to food security, economic development, health, and sustainability. Environmental crimes include unregulated fishing, illicit trade of hazardous waste, smuggling of ODS (ozone-depleting substances), illegal logging, wild animal traffic, electronic waste management, as wee as dumping in rivers. Analytically, environmental crimes are sensitive and dangerous to the living things. Militant groups and criminal gangs profit from some ...

What does the court mean when it says "Stare decisis is not an inexorable command; rather it is a principle of policy and not a mechanical formula of adherence to the latest decision"? Stare decisis is a Latin word that means to stand by what has already been decided. Therefore, in criminal law it is defined as the adherence of the current court system with the principles that has already been established by previous court decisions or rulings. In other words, it can be stated to be a principle of policy. Hence, it promotes reliance on the judicial ...

In my research on the topic of Human Trafficking, I have learned the following: that there are an estimated 600,000 – 800,000 people who are trafficked across international borders each year. I have also determined that human trafficking represents a significant criminal underworld, that takes away personal liberties and undermines community and safety.

These observations lead me to ask the following question:

How can human trafficking be prevented or stopped? This question has several plausible answers. For example, according to Chuang, the issue of human trafficking must be considered from the global perspective. More specially, he suggests that while trafficking is made up of a series of ...

Where did the idea of the American Dream first originate? Immigrants to the New World were bent on creating a new society, one that thrived on democratic principles, where they could worship freely and having equal standing in the eyes of the law regardless of their financial situation or social status. We believe these ideas to be our own, but they are not; these ideas are not uniquely American ideas. They are drawn from the beliefs of the early Protestants, specifically the ideas of separation of church and state, equality for all and hard work and integrity. The first ...

Human trafficking is the act of conducting illegal human beings exploitation and trade for forced labor, reproduction favors or prostitution. In today's world, human trafficking is equivalent to slavery.

Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to expand the readers’ awareness about the philosophical and ethical principles that may be associated with abortion. With that, the topic that will be discussed in this paper is abortion. Abortion can be defined as the process of ending a pregnancy. It is important to note, however, that an abortion can happen intentionally or unintentionally. Unintentional abortion typically occurs naturally. Examples would be when there are birth defects that have been found during pregnancy; this is otherwise known as spontaneous abortion or simply a miscarriage.

1 A I agree with Joh (2004)’s idea that there is a new silver platter doctrine in the making. Here, private cops now have the ability to present the “silver platter to local, state, and federal public policing agencies. Now, this doctrine focuses on the fact that private officials can turn over evidence to their federal counterparts without much regard to suppression even if the former obtained this information through illegal search processes. In essence, the doctrine does not allow public police agencies to conduct unreasonable search and seizure activities. Thus, all pieces of evidence obtained using this ...

Differences between Classical and Operant Conditioning

In Behavioral Psychology, the term ‘conditioning’ is used to refer to a theory that learning can allow a human being or animal to modify the response (reaction) to a stimulus (event/object) (Hill, 2001). There are two types of conditioning: classical conditioning and operant conditioning with distinct characteristics. When the two types are contrasted, it is easily noticeable that both approaches involve diverse learning patterns. As far as classical conditioning is concerned, it involves “learning by association, and refers to the conditioning of reflexes – how animals learn to associate new stimuli with innate bodily reflexes” (Hill, 2001). According to operant ...

Prejudice and Bigotry in the Matter of Interracial Relationships Despite the fact that economic and social disparities between black and white Americans disappear gradually, situation in the sphere of inter-racial marriages is quite different. Even the United States today are the very segregated society in many respects. The most interesting indicator of segregation in American society is interracial marriages. At the end of the 17th century, slavery in some southern US states was replaced by indentured servitude (black worker was obliged to work on his master a certain amount of time, typically from 4 to 7 years, without receiving ...

Issue: Criminal Accountability of UN Officials on mission

Position: Head Chair/Co-Chair Introduction The criminal accountability of the UN Officials on mission is one of the legal issues, which has been debated through the Legal Committee for numerous years. The legal gaps make it difficult for the UN to hold personnel accountable for crimes committed in the missions under its jurisdiction. The UN personnel are being currently accountable only to their countries and their legislation or being protected by the international legal statute of immunity. The lack of accountability makes the whole organization less credible and reliable. With two different groups of UN personnel the troop contributing countries ...

I agree with your opinion that Google is likely to have a data monopoly. As a matter of fact, the company is not a pure monopoly but has a monopoly on data. The company is distant from a monopoly in terms of the whole range of internet services (Investopedia, 2015). Most of the people prefer Google in searching the web to its competitors including Bing and Yahoo, among others due to the extensive availability of information it offers. It boasts of offering some of the most well-liked digital products. According to Martin (2015), Google’s search engine has turned ...

Background

Today, the financial industry is more regulated than any other time in the history of economic globalization. However, the lack of fundamental professional behavior, ethics, and compliance raises the important question whether the current financial sector in Australia is destined for an endemic future. The persistent fraud cases in the Australian financial industry paints an impression that behaviors are yet to change even after experiencing the global financial predicament that emanated from the US. The recent ANZ suspected interbank interest rate rigging, CBA’s CommInsure denial of compensation to legitimate claims from terminally ill patients, and the Macquarie Group ...

Today, terrorism is among the top international threats and the exercise of radicalization is on the rise and civilization is hurting.

In a couple of last years the activity of different terrorist groups has gone up. The most know is a catastrophe of 9/11 where almost three thousand people became victims.

With this kind of magnitude, the number of victims can grow up to tremendous hundreds of thousands or eve millions. In case the worst case scenario ...

How to overcome racism if our own justice system is racial? We know that our nation has struggled a lot of unjust racial cases. For example, in the period of pre-civil war, the southern part of the United States was covered with slavery. The life of Black-African American groups was horrible as they were slaves and were treated as slaves also. They were a property that white people could buy and sell, had no rights, and were not protected by the legislature. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery, and the modern days are known for the public fight with ...

1. Support or criticize the statement that rude gestures (e.g., showing the middle finder to a police officer, etc.) would constitute fighting words or a threat towards a police officer. Justify your position Gestures are part of communicating in our everyday life, and they can be interpreted positively or negatively. The variations in the interpretation of gestures occur due to cultural, religious, ethnic and environmental differences.

Family Rights

1. Polyandry relationships provide for marriage system in which a woman can have more than one husband. Speaking from the historical perspective, the emergence of such marital arrangement in Tibet is related to the fact that the social system compelled marriage within a social status category.To understand the Tibetans' practice of polyandry, "it must be realized that Tibetan families consider it of great importance to keep together, without any division, whatever property they possess" (Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, 1962, p. 414). That is the reason why husbands are often brothers or close relatives, which is referred to ...

Gothic literature encompasses horror stories as well as darker supernatural forces. Such literature focuses on the destructive desires and irrational aspects of human nature.

Contraception as a method of population control has elicited mixed reactions from different quotas of the society. A section of religious conservatives still hold onto it that abstinence and not contraception should be the only approach to population control.

Canada is among the few countries on the globe where contraception has been implemented as a legal approach towards population control.

In a primetime broadcast President Trump announced that his nominee to replace the vacant seat on the Supreme Court left by the untimely death of Antonin Scalia would be U.S. appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch. Interestingly, the headline shows a touch of “Texascentrism” by pointing out the Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett had been “bypassed.” Willett himself declared the selection “a magnificent choice.” There were other Texas connections in the selection. Senator Ted Cruz figures prominently in this article. First, it notes that Cruz had been discussed by some as a possible nominee for the ...

PMS- as a defense

According to the various cases described where women turned excessively violent and killed people in a rage, their ascribed behavior has been linked with PMS as a trigger which led to these incidents. PMS is experienced by women before and during menstruation due to the hormonal changes in this time period. It can lead to depression, anxiety and when situations seem unbearable, women are believed to turn excessively aggressive and violent. In my opinion, PMS is not enough to be credited as a major or ultimate reason of why women can become aggressive, violent and murderous at a distressing ...

Black Lives Matter

I find social activism as a modern and more effective way to create awareness about an issue or initiate a protest against one. This is because social activism promotes mass movements in societies in which it is initiated, and as such, important matters that call for everyone’s attention can be addressed with urgency and the level of importance that can bring about social change. The social activism movement: ‘Black Lives Matter’, initially originated in the U.S. and later on replicated in the U.K., is one that I am particularly interested in. Spearheaded by the African-American community, the movement ...

One of the main advantages of literature lies in its ability to communicate various cultural experiences and provide greater knowledge and deeper understanding of foreign traditions for the reader. In the Western civilization, Eastern religious traditions and cultures informed by them are perceived with interest, fascination and even fear; while lack of understanding can often impair successful interaction and communication. In addressing the issue of religious values, the authors of two books, Confucius Lives Next Door: What Living in the East Teaches Us about Living in the West and Children of Dust: A Portrait of a Muslim as a ...

Sending a child to a school or a kindergarten, all parents expect their children to study there and to make friendship with the peers. The children are supposed to spend a lot of time in these establishments, so the school or the kindergarten must become a place the child likes and feels comfortable.

Of course, there may be thousands of reasons – bad marks, problems at school, illness or just a bad mood. ...

Question 1

1.1 In her taxonomy, Joh (2005) describes private policing as law enforcement activities offered through agencies owned and controlled by private individuals. That said, unlike their public counterparts, private police officers concentrate on property loss, preventive techniques, private justice, and safeguarding personal interests. As such, these entities mainly operate as parallel entities, each focusing on their individual duties in law enforcement. This taxonomy is both useful and an excellent beginning in the categorization of various forms of private policing as explained below. On the one hand, some of the existing classifications include publicly contracted, protective, intelligence, and corporate security ...

Robert Agnew developed a model in criminology, General Strain Theory, which recounts that there exist numerous variables that influence the effect of strain on criminal activities. The concept is one of the leading models in this subject. Notably, the existence of a range of strains increases the likelihood of crime. Primarily, to enhance criminal coping, the convergence of individual factors is necessary (Agnew 2013). Coping skills and resources, peer influence, and lack of self-control are among variables that increase the likelihood of crime. Social structures in society are a major component in determining the level of crime in that ...

Aside from this, there was a problem in the management of the crisis. The local, ...
