Essays on Inhumane

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

It was adapted for television from the comic books of the same title written by Robert Kirkman (Yuen, 2016).

There is a lot of debate in the government and scholarly sphere when it comes to when to and how to incarcerate people. A subdivision of that argument comes down to the actual housing that a prisoner is kept in while they are in prison. One method that is used for inmates who commit certain acts, either inside of or outside of prison, is solitary confinement. While this is deemed to be a way to prevent a prisoner from being a danger to others or even himself/herself while in prison, there are many that say that solitary confinement for ...

Introduction

Exordium The death penalty is something which has existed for centuries in various countries, but recently it has been coming under increased scrutiny. More people are turning to the view that it is somehow inhumane, or perhaps that it is immoral to say that we who obey and make the law are better than those break and oppose it, while still committing the same acts as they do (presuming that the offenders are murderers, of course). It could be said that the death penalty was a simple solution for a simpler time. Today, not only do we have the ...

It involves the covert transfer of alleged terrorists, who are citizens of other nations, from one country to another country in which the questioning of imprisoned persons involve extreme measures because pertinent international laws there are either lax or do not exist.

Capital punishment or the death penalty is one of the most contentious types of punishments in the United States of America. It is the type of punishment that puts to death an individual who is found guilty of a crime as a result of a legal trial. The implementation of the death penalty dates back to the 1600s but has undergone many reforms thereafter. The discharge of the death penalty is very uncommon because it is usually applied for crimes of aggravated murder. Because the public views the death penalty as too harsh, immoral, and inhumane, it has been ...

Maintenance of ethical principles is essential to the sustainability of the globe. In fact, lack thereof compromises the development of humanity, and this situation could result in unpleasant behavior. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that the current controversies associated with the inhumane treatment of animals are justifiable. Specifically, the process of preparing animals for consumption is primarily based on the final presentation to the consumer and not the welfare of the animals. As such, this situation questions the ethical principles of the individuals who consume meat. According to McClelland (4), inhume treatment of animals ...

Summary

The Tuskegee Experiment was a scientific research study conducted on 399 black men between 1932 and 1972. Starting in 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service started an experiment with a vaguely defined mission. Taking mostly illiterate and poor black men from a rural southern area, they offered the prospect of free medical care and described the medical attention as an effort to cure “bad blood”, when in fact all 399 participants were suffering from tertiary syphilis. None of the participants were ever told that they carried the disease nor were they offered any form of ...

English 263: Holocaust Literature

Introduction The Holocaust experience remains something memorable in the world history as one of the worst events in the world. Various authors have come up with different literature pertaining to the Holocaust events and the experience. None of the literature can be deemed accurate compared to another. The experiences during this period by the Jews under the Nazi regime led by Adolf Hitler were extreme and in the modern civilized society, no person can subject to such torture and death without punishment. The Holocaust literature is thus an interesting topic for readers to study and understand. The two books ...

The Gender Discrimination in Criminal Justice System

Introduction Traditionally, women have not been viewed as criminals because of their less aggressive nature, making the act of crime to be mainly associated with the male gender. There are several theories brought forth to explain why the female gender would, or would not engage in crime. The theories, however, do not provide satisfactory explanations to the phenomenon leading to counterarguments. Also, the criminal justice of the United States of America has been viewed as discriminatory because it fails to address the gender needs of female offenders whose number has increased over time. This essay discusses the historical perspectives, ...

Mernissi, a Muslim woman who grew up in the Middle East in a traditional Muslim harem, with women and other children, compares the “Western harem” to be much worse than the restrictions of the Eastern harem.

The author compares the Western standard of beauty as a very oppressive problem for women, much more damaging than anything she has experienced in her native country. The argument from her perspective is that the Western version of men ...

Human nature can be depicted as being inherently connected and communal. This means that although most of the occurrences are deemed inhumane, usually the level of depiction of love is still greater. Human beings throughout history have influenced and participated in events that could be looked at as inhumane. Wars, torture, and acts of violence amongst differing groups are some of the occurrences that depict the dark and selfish side of human being. The general perspective of most scholars depicts human beings as destructive creatures. Often, people are of the mentality that disasters and catastrophes tend to bring out ...

There are a number of lessons that one must learn as one goes through life. But the lesson of attempting to survive through the racial discrimination in the south is one lesson that is most valuable to those who lived in that era. Many blacks can now relate to the racial challenge that Jefferson face in Louisiana in 1948. Like many other blacks during the 1940’s, Jefferson faces death for a murder. Of course the laws during the period did not require much proof to convict a black man as much of the stories of the past reveal ...

The film shows an accurate depiction of actual historic events that took place in 1942 during the Wannsee conference.

The meeting meant to find an implementation strategy for Adolf Hitler’s policy of eliminating the growing population of Jews.

The conference, therefore, featured top Nazi government officials actively involved in solving the ‘Jewish ...

The novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque explores the psychological and physical conditions of German soldiers fighting in the World War I, instead of focussing on heroism and military accomplishments. That is the primary distinction between the novel and its contemporaries. The novel tracks the life of Paul Baumer, as he joins the army together with his friends (Muller, Kropp and Kemmerick) at the urging of their school teacher Kantorek. While at the base, they meet Kat, an older soldier and a former shoe cobbler with whom they form a deep friendship and he ...

Women have often been viewed as inferior to men as a result of the predominantly male chauvinistic tendencies in most societies. They have often been given subordinate roles while their male counterparts take the forefront in critical decision making responsibilities. This situation has often made women to be subjected to unacceptable acts such as rape, early marriages, verbal abuse and physical violence, which violates their right to human dignity. Regardless, there have been women of outstanding character and personality who have stood up against these suppressions that limit the potential of many women across the world. ‘The Bandit Queen’ is a ...

Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried” is a story about a platoon of soldiers caught in the commotion of the Vietnam War. Reading this story was enjoyable, but there were several things about it that concerned me. In a story about war, it is all but natural for the author and his characters to have to deal with death, and Tim O'Brien’s story is no different. Tim O'Brien has used various styles to write this story, and he has written it in a non-traditional format. Mainly, he has written this story in a limited omniscient, third person style.

Question 1

Biosocial criminology cannot lead to oppressive and inhumane crime-control policies since it combines information across various fields of study in order to create cohesive perspective to study the relationship of crime and criminals (Beaver and Walsh, 2011). This means that by studying how the genetic influences play a major role in the formation of the anti-social behavior, can lead to effective crime control policies to deter crimes in the future. Several behavioral genetic studies of antisocial behaviours have shown how the study of mild forms of aggression can lead to deviant forms of criminal behavior of a person. It is the ...

Question One: definition of political graffiti

Graffiti remains one of the topics, which attracts attention of political sociologists and other researchers in various discipline. In essence, graffiti has existed for many years, but researchers and political sociologists have paid less attention in terms of examining the roles and functions of graffiti as a form of political participation and political contentious ,despite it conveying and eliciting political messages. The fact that researchers and political sociologies have paid less attention on the topic of graffiti makes it illegitimate and unlawful in repressive regimes. In other words, the government persecutes, charges, and convicts individuals who employ graffiti as a form ...

The act of painting and decorating walls was a common state of the affair among Americans in the early 19th century. Cut-papers of different colours were framed on walls depending on an individual’s occupation and hobby (Walker 1). In most instances, the silhouettes were also useful in presenting files of loved ones or happy scenes and moment in the family. Prominent artists such as walker went a step ahead to transform their silhouettes into elaborate tableaux of sexual and racial violence as witnessed during the pre-civil in southern parts of United States of America. Critical analysis of artwork can reveal ...

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow a successful American poet whose works carry a lot of sentimentalism. Sentimentalism is the act of stimulating tender emotional responses towards a given work of art that are not really due that work. Wadsworth successfully brings out this aspect especially in A Psalm of Life. “ tell me not in mournful numbers, life is but an empty dream (Longfellow n.p).” The two lines bring out a sense of hopelessness that there is no much meaning to life no matter how hard we attempt to live. Wadsworth was trying to show human beings the vagueness in life and the need ...

After reading Boubacar Boris Diop’s novel Murambi, The Book of Bones I have come closer to understanding the extent of the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. Initially I had some hesitations on the nature and truthfulness of the issues that the author would reveal since he is not Rwandese or was not a victim of the Genocide. Diop is a Senegalese journalist and novelist. However, a reading of his book confirms of it as a witness to the genocide. The book has ingrained in me the extent of brutality of the genocide. I can visualize the deep emotional scars left in the hearts ...

Liam Neeson’s ‘Carriages Belong in Central Park’ is an article, which addresses horse-drawing carriage business in the Central Park. The author notes that such an activity has existed over the centuries, and sees no harm about it. However, Mayor Bill de Blasio intends to eradicate the activity. His reason for this step is that the industry was inhumane, and as a result, he suggested that he would replace the horse-drawn carriages with vintage cabs. Neeson had as his main aim the urge to argue against such abolishment, for he saw no reason for the horses to be banned for ...

Holocaust is derived from the Greek language and it means “kill by fire." The holocaust saw the death of more than six million Jews. In 1933, before the holocaust, the population of the Jews stood at nine million. This essentially means that about two thirds of the Jewish population was destroyed. The perpetrators of this massacre were the Nazis and their collaborators. They spared no one - not even women and children. Nowhere in the world has such a big group of people be killed over such a short period. The Nazis were of the view that Germans were racially superior ...

Many people believe that the death penalty is a violation of human rights and an inhumane and cruel act. Capital punishment is an inhumane when the person put to death is a guiltless. However, when you give capital punishment to a criminal who ripped and tortured the lives of many others, then the least he/she deserved is to get death penalty. The victims of rape would never feel the sense of safety unless they know that their assaulter had acquired what he/she deserved and executed from earth.

The argument presented in the “Petition to the president of the United States” is quite successfully crafted and factual. Given the extensive destructive nature and long-term effects of atomic bombs, the president should have practiced extreme restraint in authorizing the usage of atomic bombs. Why would someone use a weapon whose radiation effects are bound to genetically affect successive generations of any survivors? What authority would someone have as to deliberately taint the genes of an entire generation? It is plain inhumane to use atomic bombs on any animal or plant let alone a human being. Scores should always be settled ...

Humans are not the only animals to feel pain – all animals feel pain. Accidentally tread on your pet dog or cat’s paw and it will let you know immediately that you have hurt it. You will very probably apologize to the injured creature (even though it doesn’t understand your words), and fuss over it to show you are sorry. The fact is you really do not want to be the cause of any unnecessary suffering to your domestic pets – your household companions – so it is only right to behave in the same way to all other animals ...

Many of us grew up watching dolphin and shark shows and have good memories of watching these shows. However, there is the realization today that placing these gentle animals in captivity does not help their cause, and is perhaps also dangerous for humans as well.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Introduction You all have seen the degrading photos. You remember how you felt the shame, seeing what looked like electrical-shock wires attached to human flesh, whose head was covered by a black cone-shaped hooded cloak. Perfidious sensory deprivation ensued. Someone once conveyed the following words of misery: “Only by experience can anyone realize how deep, and dark, and foul is that pit of abominations.” These words were written by Harriet Jacobs, a black woman in American history whose first-hand account recorded the atrocities of her captivity and cruelty of slavery (“Harriet Jacobs Fugitive Slave”). The tortures she suffered are unspeakable. ...

Ehrenreich postulates that even though these individuals work under poor economic conditions, there is a strong “work ethic” present. But, this work ethic does not help to provide the basic necessities of transportation, food, and shelter. For those individuals who work in hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and a number of other service jobs the wages are not ...

Obedience to authority goes a long way and has been met with little rebellion or questions.

Personally, I think along the same line with ‘The Giver' in that, endorsing ‘release' is one of the absolute lessons Jonas must absorb in his alleyway toward wisdom. I further echo the views that through exposure, Jonas would be able to have a vivid and a wider view regarding the radical and dynamic society in which he lives. Hence, my view is that the society is cruel and uncouth in handling human life. This is witnessed ...

The world today is more sensitive to human rights violations than it was a few decades ago. Many people are now aware of their rights, and issues touching on the dignity of human life receive support the world over. Nonetheless, there are many cases of past injustice that still remain unresolved.

In as much as some people may want to forget about past injustices such as the inhumane treatment of African Americans, ...
