Happy never after: Tales of a lonely heart

I choose the title “Happy never after: Tale of a lonely heart” for this story. I found this title appropriate as the main theme of this story is broken love and the effects of the loneliness that sets in after a love relation breaks on very disturbing and bitter grounds of unfaithfulness and betrayal. I believe Neal was betrayed by the fiancée as they had lived together for a long time and where engaged to be married only for her to get pregnant with another man’s child. I believe this pain that was coursed by the sudden break up, of a ...

Lately, the United States has experienced an upsurge in the number of juvenile arrests related to drug use and trafficking. The issue of drugs has dominated the media in the past few years with research showing disconcerting statistics on the average age of drug users dropping to below 17 years of age. This means that there are more teenagers indulging in drug use and trafficking than any time in the history of the United States. The important question here is, why are drugs so popular with the youth? I will seek to understand and answer this question through use ...

A shadow walks up the stairs of a dark and cold brick building. The walls reek of mold, the stairs creak with each step, and the mice are hiding from the rats. The shadow of a man reaches the third floor, and knocks on the only door in the darkest corner. His dealer answers the door; “ I need my fix man,” the man says in a raspy voice, as he’s scratching his arms; the dealer responds, “Marius I’m here to help.” Marius walks into the dealer’s apartment, a baby is sitting in a crib by the window; he sits down on ...

Loosely defined, a crime laboratory is a place where forensic science is utilized to scrutinize evidence with a view of solving a crime. Forensic science in this context means that the laboratory combines various sciences and technology to better analyze evidence (Ballard, 2009). Reports or conclusions made from crime laboratories are generally conclusive and admitted as evidence in court (Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc). To such extent, crime laboratories are crucial to any justice system, especially the criminal justice system. Given this central role, it is imperative that a crime laboratory is sufficiently equipped to analyze evidence.

Abstract

The allocation of tax dollars is an ever-present debate among Americans, both in and out of legislative positions; one priority in particular is the issue of welfare. In the modern political narrative, there is a perception that 'welfare queens,' those who have the ability or capacity to work but simply accept welfare instead, are a drain on the system. In order to curb this abuse of welfare, the proposition has been made in various state and federal legislatures to implement drug testing policies for welfare recipients. The argument is that this screening would weed out drug users who might theoretically ...

Over the years, the US government has maintained a “hands off” approach with regards to involvement in sports. This is based on the premise that privatization of professional sports is the best thing for the country. However, a cursory look into international sports will make one appreciate why governments get involved in sports. First of all, sporting events have an important place in any society because sporting is a cultural phenomenon. In addition, nothing beats the sense of pride and unity when athletes competing in international events win a medal for the country. As a consequence, sports help to promote a sense of community and ...

Truancy- big idea

Reducing the number of truant children and adolescents can be a first step to keeping these kids away from a lifetime of unemployment, crime, and incarceration. This statement holds its premise in that truancy is associated with poor grades leading to truants failing to secure college places and consequently failing to get any form of employment.
Truancy according to Huizinga and Jacob-Chien (1998) is a student being absent from school three or more days without a legitimate and reasonable excuse. This is in a five day school week. Reduced consistency of attending classes often leads to most truants getting very poor grades. The ...

Robert Merton and the functionalist and social control theorists maintain that most people obey the laws, rules and regulations of mainstream society because they have been trained and socialized to do so, while those who are more likely to become criminals and delinquents have weak social and community bonds. They are unable to obtain the money and material things that American culture values the most, so they turn to illegal methods to obtain them. Travis Hirshi wrote the classic work on social control theory, Causes of Delinquency in 1969. Numerous studies of juvenile delinquents over the last forty years ...

“Careful dear,” my mother lovingly caressed my hair as I bumped into her while frantically running upstairs on my way to the roof top. I would be nine years old tomorrow and she still treats me as if I am a three. I didn’t in the least like her gestures of love. ”Why can’t she just keep her hands off me? Why on earth she has to make a show of it every damn time I am near her? Just the thought of her touching me makes me puke,” angrily I mused as I continued to run upstairs. I ...

Establishing whether human senses and sensory data can be relied on in providing an accurate view of the world is highly controversial. This is because human senses often have the potential of providing accurate interpretation of our environment. Similarly, human senses present some detrimental weaknesses that affect their ability in the interpretation of sensory data. The paper examines the reliability of the human senses and interpretation of sensory information.

Reasons for Believing in the Accuracy of Sensory Data

The first the rationale for believing in accuracy of sensory information is based on the process through which humanity perceives experiences. Barth, Patrizia, & Klein, (2011) identifies perception as a sensory experience ...

Abstract

Perhaps, most people in the world believe that United States is the place to access greener pastures. Therefore there are many immigrants to america.The immigrants get into United States through illegal and legal means so as to access the opportunities believed to exist, (The Great Migration, 2002).

The two main objectives of a healthcare delivery system are to provide healthcare for anybody who needs it, as well as to deliver quality care at a price patients can afford to pay. Countries around the world have a different position on how to deliver these two main objectives. For example, Canada has true universal healthcare. Citizens pay higher taxes in order to afford this healthcare, but in return if an individual is hurt, sick, mental ill, becomes pregnant, needs a dentist, or just has a chest cold, almost all of the expenses are covered at a very reasonable ...

At this stage, it’s also common for teenagers to experiment with drugs. The confusion and excitement associated with growing up especially at the teenage years causes issues which jeopardize the health of young ...

History forms an essential part of our lives. It is from this that we make references to what happened and our future expectations.

Civil Rights Movement and American Paradox

Introduction

Since the inception of the juvenile justice system, there have been many segments of the society that have been incorporated into the management and running of the system to ensure its success.

Some of these parties include the police, the courts and the department of justice.
