- Introduction to Adult Nursing
Nursing is an important role to play, be it for the young ones or the adults or the elderly. For adult nurses, the role is ever more enhanced because they need to look after the needs and care of the young adults all the way to the elderly patients.

This article talks about various criticism of a television series “The Race to Address in Orange is the New Black.” In this article, the author seems to argue that many people have written literary criticism against this TV series without necessarily watching of the episodes. He has pointed out that critics tend project various views against the characters in the series without conclusively learning their roles.

In this article, the author seem to hold that constructive criticism of the series should acknowledge the way the series has the concept of racial dynamism and has settled to what was displayed. ...

Criminal Law

Question No. 1
The philosophy of the Crime Control Model is that discovering, apprehending, and punishing offenders, preventing and deterring crime is considered a priority. The civil liberties are still protected, but shall be limited to the extent that they do not jeopardize social control. The repression, detection and efficient prosecution are central to this model. The failure to detect and successfully prosecute the offenders shall be considered as failure on the part of the government (Hall, 2011, p.316). When this happens, the public loses its confidence in the government, which will hinder its ability to detect and deter ...

Omi and Winant in their article, “Racial Formations” enlighten the readers on the precepts about race and its classifications. The authors assert that race is communally constructed by offering elaborations on its framework and how race is placed in different groups. The authors explain that people view race differently and individually; thus, no one can generate an explicit definition. According to the authors, race is a societal notion rather than a genetic concept; thus, they see race as a process of racial pattern. By giving a case law on Susi Guillory, the authors show that race is a concept that integrates identity, racialization, ...

Born during the height of discrimination and slavery, Paul Laurence Dunbar strived to be educated and was able to write poems, short stories and novels from the perspective of his race, the African-Americans. Their desire to be free from the term Africans which has a connotation of being a slave was vividly described in his writings. These writings became the inspiration of the personalities of the Civil rights movement like Maya Angelou. This is specifically to Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

In one of his poems entitled, Lyrics of Lowly Life, he articulated how his race were ...

Muller, the author of The new world reader: Thinking and writing about the global community, describes the US as a melting pot for all cultures and ethnicities around the world. Given that the US can be considered a multinational society, most ethnicities have migrated and settled in the country (Muller, 2014, p.35). America is considered as one of the flourishing economies that attract many foreigners to the country in that the country has high standards of living. Globalization has contributed to the US assimilating other cultures and ethnicities in their day to day lives. For example the Hispanics and Asians have ...

Introduction

Racial profiling is an act of targeting certain individuals for security or police detention by simply taking into account the ethnicity or race in the belief that minority groups have the most potential of being involved in unlawful acts.

Some contend that racial profiling is an efficient and rational approach of allocating resources for investigation to protect the security of people. Some refute the idea, however that the approach is not a legal measure, rather redirects investigatory examination from actual sources of possible danger. In the aspect where discrimination is involved, security and liberty do not clash. This paper ...

Question No. 1

The Crime control model poses the presumption that the criminal law is able to control crime without accounting for the fact (Roach, 1999). Under this model, the best way to control crime is by giving a fair treatment through adversarial criminal proceedings where the accused shall be represented by a defense attorney. Defense lawyers are not expected to invoke due process rights. In the crime control model, there are assumptions that fair treatment may be necessary for effective crime control and punishment may not be necessary to control crime. This model is attained by allowing the police and prosecutors as the ...

The concept of predictive profiting is that it is a method used to assessed and categorized potential for criminal or terrorist methods and operation. Rae (2012) in his article Will it ever be possible to Profile the Terrorist, mentioned three different types of profiling- Racial, gender and age profiling, pathological and psychological profiling and socioeconomic profiling. Racial, gender and age profiling is considered as the crudest and most egregious method of profiling terrorists because it is based on racial characteristics. The concept of racial profiling is to associate ethnic characteristic to possible (typical) criminal behaviors. The concept of pathological and ...

Nazism just as it is fascism is a political ideology based on “political behavior that is obsessed with the idea of community decline, humiliation, or victimhood by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity.” In this ideology, there is a mass based party of committed nationalists, militants that work with traditional elites to abandon democratic ideals and employ the use of violence to cleanse the society

Introduction

Chapter eight of this book, "White Racism the Basic" is intended at examining two concepts. These concepts are the race concept and the development of racism in England with reference to the history. This is clearly implicated in the chapter’s title, ‘Race’, racism and representation. The chapter incorporates items that are related to the aspects of study of culture as well as racism. The first discussion is related to the issue of race and racism (Tatum, 2008 pg. 230). In the discussion of race, it states that there is basically one race in the context humanism. ...

Question 1

Based on chapter 8, it is apparent that, the basic aspect of crime and race construction is that people particularly officers view race as a major element in identifying criminals (Barak, et. al, 2010). Of utmost importance is the fact that courts tend to view race as one of the major determining cause of an individual’s defiant behaviour and involvement into crime. Additionally, law on crime is racially selective an aspect that makes the construction of race and crime concur (Barak, et. al, 2010).

Question 2

Vices or “victimless crimes” fit into the social construction of crimes when a certain social movement, ...

Role played by race/ethnicity in the criminal justice system

Historically, race played a big role in the criminal justice system, especially in relation to punishment for perceived or actual criminal conduct. In the early twentieth century, the extent of punishment meted out depended on one’s race. Virtually all cases that involved minorities resulted to strict and harsh sanctions, especially cases involving African – Americans (Rosich, 2007). These sanctions served two purposes: to deter criminal conduct among the minorities, and to suppress any uprisings.

This was compounded by the fact that those in charge of the criminal justice were from the majority. All juries, judges, legislators, and law enforcement ...

The White Aryan Resistance was a Neo-Nazi racist extremist movement that was formed in 1983 and headed by Tom Metzger at Warsaw in Indiana.Its main area of operation was in the States of California, Arizona, Indiana, Michigan, and Washington. It is a racist skin head gang. However, some skin head gangs are non-racist (Leet, Rush, & Smith, 2000).

Discrimination has become a phenomenon challenge today with the most common of its form being based on gender, age, and race.

Gender discrimination is unfair treatment of another person based on his or her sex. In the USA and other nations, women are victims are prone to gender discrimination more than men are.

This essay provides a commentary on the perceptions of racial differences among children. The argument follows a reflective review of two reports. It will prove that in children, the race factor plays an important function during friendship selection and behavior interpretation.

I am not surprised by the results from the reports. This is because children have a tendency of making their friendship selections based on their view of the aggregate society. For instance, they are aware of the fact that adults have fewer interracial than intra-racial relations. Therefore, the children have not only internalized their cultural views of race, but also developed ...

There are several evidences that show that the US was fragmented between the years 1920 to 1970.The fragmentation relied mostly on culture, wars and race. The Americans were greatly separated when it came to very important values. The values might be of general sociological import. (Lessonde, S.171).Looking at the classical theory, it places on structural differences as modernity encroaches. When we look at the fragmentation of America at the historical point of view, it is diminishing. In 1960s, there was political assassination and mass demonstration and one could be forgiven to term America as falling apart. Even inn ...

In recent times, there has been an overwhelming amount of concern on ethnic and racial disparities in health, in the United States. However, there are still numerous amounts of questions that still need to be answered. There has been a variety of forums that present and evaluate evidence that indicate the relationships that occur between racism, ethnicity, diversity in culture and behavior, and socioeconomic status. Williams (2007) feels that “these statuses dictate the level of health concern, among many Americans”. The relationships depicted in these reports influence my opinion on racism, diversity, and health.

Disparities in health statuses reflect, ...

The Harlem Renaissance marks a phase in the black American civilization, where the black race coined a significant identity in the pursuit of self-emancipation. The events cascading this pertinent era is reminiscent of the Negro movement in the City of New York. The period tells of a time laden with turmoil amid a major initial world war. The early 1920s and 30s saw the outburst of civility and the demand for equal rights from the origin of races. Perhaps the cornerstone of this movement revolved around the great migration of African Americans to the urban areas (North) from their rural confines (South). This ...

Set in the fictional world of Middle Earth, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is a seemingly well-woven tale about the relationships emerging from the race of men and the realm of mythical creatures such as elves, dwarves, wizards and etc. Its ingenuity comes from the striking resemblance of the values and practices of Middle Earth creatures to that of modern day beings, touching on the delicate issues of morality, the ability to distinguish good from bad, and human nature.

In the story, even with divergent traditions and cultures, we see that mythical and ...

In situations involving juvenile offenders police discretion means that the police are in a position to make choices that are legally sanctioned as to what they do with a Juvenile.

The police discretion is affected by the following factors;

Offense: In exercising their discretion police pay greater attention to serious offences than they do to petty offences. Economic Status: There is some evidence to suggest that juvenile belong to lower – class families (lower class juveniles) receive different justice than their counter parts from the upper – middle class

Complains: The likelihood of arrest increases if a citizen makes a complaint and is present.

Gender: In the exercise of police discretion police are likely to arrest males compared to females. In most instances females are ...

It is almost conventionally accepted that color is so powerful that everyone sees the world through the lens of color. People see each other and evaluate them by how they look Black, Hispanic, Asian or Caucasian and make a judgment that are absolute on the authenticity of race. However, how many people ever realize that race is just, but a social construct? Scholars such as Ruth Frankenberg have stated in the book “The Social Construction of Whiteness, White Women, Race Matters” on how powerful and critical race plays a role in life. The common practice of passing ethnicities as if they ...

Jean Rhys’ I Used to Live Here Once, is an unusually short story. However, it is also unusually memorable, which is always a sign of an effective piece of work. Through the use of point of view, symbolism, imagery, and other narrative techniques, Rhys explores a delicate theme in a subtle yet powerful way.

I Used to Live Here Once is a rather shadowy tale of a woman who appears to be a ghost calling on her childhood home. The narrator trails the woman on her walk from a near river and along an old road that leads to the house in which she spent her ...

Nobody hates looking at women’s funny character in movies. Something that mulvey well put across. The conditions of watching a move in the cinema gives authority to a voyeuristic spectatorship. All spectators are chirping characters taking pleasure and watching others while they remain unseen. In other fields, feminists have identified voyeurism as violence that is because of gender. The chirping character is most often a man-watching female without her knowledge. Most of the funny erotic scenes, you find a woman fully exposing her body and private parts but never will you find a man doing so. The power of the man’s look ...

In my own words, I explain sociocultural theory as the theory that the things around individuals (notably social factors) influence their cognition. Lev Vygotsky, the proponent of sociocultural theory, stated that development in every individual’s culture occur in two levels: on the social and the individual level (1978). Individuals (especially children, in consonance to Vygotsky’s emphasis) such as parents, mentors, peers and the like can affect people’s cognition (Vygotsky, 1978). In highlighting the influence of society to individual development, James Lantolf reiterated Vygotsky’s “zone of proximal development”, which is the variance of an individual’ ...

Gender and Racial Discrimination in Public School Punishment

The American education system is based on inequalities and disparities in terms of the treatment that the students get from the administration. This is because the first incidence of disproportionality of punishment based on race and gender was first documented by the children’s defence force in 1975 and up to until now the situation has not changed it is still the same. The differences in the way the students are treated is mostly based on two conditions.

The first condition is the stereotype that is always surrounding the people in different race and gender. White people have always ...

Discrimination is the unfair treatment of different groups of people usually on the basis of race, sex, religion or disability. Naturally, individuals find themselves in situations of diversity and in different life settings where interaction with other humans is necessary. In this process of interaction, discrimination may creep in especially when minority groups are involved as they are perceived as unequal by the majority groups in the respective society. Education institutions health facilities and work areas are just but a few places where people meet in the process of pursuing their social endeavors. While discrimination is a legal offence, it is ...

Introduction

Pain tolerance has been defined as the maximum level of pain that a person can undergo. For various reasons, pain tolerance is higher in man than in women, and it is speculated that this is because of the traditional need for display of masculinity by men while women tend to be more expressive of their pain and will thus most likely not withstand the same level physical pain as men. This paper seeks to develop an objective psychological test to be used for the measure of pain tolerance among different populations of interest, with particular focus on the pain tolerance ...

Social Distance Theory

Social distance can be described as a propensity to approach or withdrawal from a group. The division of people based on a social class, ethnicity, race, and gender can be described as a social distance that prevails within or out of the societies. The differentiated behavior of people that leads them to their segregation with another person or persons of the society is a social distance (Prandy, 2003). For instance if a person is not able to mix up due to race, gender, ethnicity or social class then he will be regarded as a person who is socially distant from another member living in a society. Such a ...

Q. 1. Describe the micro targeting tactic. How do parties use this strategy, and how successful has it been?A. Micro targeting is described as creating a look-a-like mode, which involves the use of statistical algorithms to extract a pattern from an existing one. For example, people from a church list can be used to people that resembles the same in other population. Political parties use this strategy to broaden their perspective in political behavior in relation to decision-making of voters during elections. It has been successful thus far because the current United States President Barack Obama used the same strategy twice, which ...

The irregular distribution of power, advantages, material rewards, and opportunities among groups, may be because of stratification within the culture. Racial and ethnic stratification may be referred to as a system of structured disparity where people receive dissimilar amounts of resources in the society based on ethnicity. Level of power may be determined due to a person’s diversity from the prevailing group (Andersen and Patricia, 1997). This diversity may be generally physical and cultural. In these ethnic groups; the prevailing group may be more greatly ranked, and those that may be considered different may be ranked lower. The lower ranked ...

While both men were active in the civil rights movement about the same time and had immense following among the people, their leadership style, personality and beliefs varied greatly.

Internalization of Oppression

Reading this article made me feel sick to think of how women suffered with binding of their feet, burning alive, and submitting to vaginal mutilation. I felt glad to live in a society that does not believe in any of these practices.
I am surprised by the internalization of oppression. If I was a widow and my husband’s family wanted me to be burned alive with my husband’s corpse, I would run as far and as fast as I could. Hopefully, I would not have married into such a belief in the first place. I suppose certain things are ...

It is true that works of the African American Psychologist, Dr. Kenneth Clark was heavily relied on by the United States Supreme Court in Brown V. Board of Education (1954) and substantially had an influence in its decision. It should be appreciated that prior to the Supreme Court reaching the decision to outlaw the racial segregation in the Education sector, the Supreme Court in its decision in Plessy v. Ferguson upheld the constitutionality of state laws that required segregation in public facilities.

Based on the foregoing, it is obvious that the Supreme Court had to be moved for it ...

Question One: Significance of Proclamation Line of 1763

The Proclamation Line of 1763 was significant in that it asserted the Indians’ right to land.

In the interim, the proclamation gave the Indians a share of the land. The same should be understood in the context of the fact that the Indians would now be under the protection of the King. In addition, the colonists who had settled in the land reserved for the Indians were ...

Meritocracy is term that implies a social system that gives the greatest power and highest social positions to people with the most ability. Entrepreneurs are more in the business of meritocracy than other industries. Decisions made on the basis of merit are executed faster than those based on hierarchy, politics, and titles.
