Essays on District

Neill Blomkamp’s allegorical sci-fi action adventure District 9 manages to fit a number of trenchant themes and issues relating to technology and politics within its unusual structure and audacious tone. Depicting a fictionalized world in which a derelict alien ship floats above Johannesburg, South Africa, with its indigent alien population (colloquially called ‘prawns’) segregated into districts and marginalized by its people, District 9 uses its setting in a powerful way to present a startling critique of the African apartheid that occurred in the late half of the twentieth century. In addition to its social criticisms about apartheid and ...

But there are others who wish for an education with the easiest of means and this is where the debate between ...

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Olaudah Equaino

Chapter one of Olaudah Equaino presents a glimpse of the 18th century culture and way of living in a typical African village.

However, he also expressed that he felt more favored by God compared to other Africans, which leads him to acknowledge how the Divine had been so merciful of him throughout his life. Consequently, his narrative was a demonstration of his high hopes to be able to help in promoting “the interest of humanity”. He ...

In my previous paper, I reviewed Systems Theory of management in regards to the early management practices in Ancient Egypt.

ABSTRACT

One of the interesting unique aspects of the American legal system is that it really is two systems, namely one at the federal level and one at the state level. Generally, the two systems have little interaction. That is to say, the federal legal system focuses on issues involving the federal government, foreign affairs, and relations between the states. Conversely, the state legal system focuses on matters state specific matters such as education and healthcare. Two areas, however, where the state and federal legal system often interact and occasional collide is immigration and crime. The 2012 Supreme Court case, ...

Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution

Introduction

The United States Constitution was framed without a Bill of Rights, and subsequent amendments came to be parts of the Bill of Rights, although this was framed amid the lack of confidence of an oppressive regime. The fourth, fifth, and sixth amendments provided rules to safeguard individual liberty. The Sixth Amendment protects citizens against unfair denials of life and liberty by ordering the federal government to give protections to all suspected criminal offenders (Chhablani, 2008).

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unpredictable violations of privacy by government authorities. This protects ...

A Personal Opinion In the United States, local government plays a vital role in the development of counties, municipalities, and districts.

When it comes to income inequality, there is evidence that counties with poorer neighborhoods receive less tax funds for public schools. According to the Department of Education, the richest 25% of school districts receive 15% more funds from states than poorer ones (Barshay, 2015). Federal funds have helped eliminated that gap. However, the Federal Government is not meant to be an equalizer (Barshay, 2015). Within states, tax funds are usually distributed based on property taxes. Those districts that pay more in taxes naturally should receive more funds in return. Residents can actually be charged with a crime if they ...
