Beyond Freedom and Dignity by B.F. Skinner is a challenge to deeply held beliefs regarding the autonomous nature of humans. Skinner, being one of the founding fathers of the behavioral movement reduces most human activity to a function of social living. Behaviorism has a distinct advantage over other psychological schools insofar as it’s hypotheses can be tested using the scientific method, and observation of objective behavior over subjective thoughts. While primary using rats as his experimental models, Skinner extrapolated his findings to human behavior to create a theory that promoted social conditioning on mass scale in order to create social control.

Personal Statement
Since childhood, I have always kept abreast with major developments across the world. However, I had a bias for topics in relation to human rights, especially topics related to the underprivileged in the society at large. The desire to champion for the rights of the underprivileged is one of the primary reasons I decided to pursue law. My pursuit of law is not only an economic endeavour but also a spiritual endeavour. I believe an LLM will heighten my participation and professional impact on the world. I am motivated and highly focused on obtaining an LLM.

Professedly, the death penalty debate is perhaps one of the most heated debates that are ongoing. Several valid agreements have been put forward in favor of death penalty just like a plethora of valid arguments have been put forward against death penalty. Taking the proponents side, I am strongly opinionative that death penalty should be upheld for various reasons.

It is indubitable that death is perhaps most dreaded occurrence to virtually every human being. In this regard, it can be stated that the best way to deter crime is by instilling the notion of death in people. Even as several ...

Personal Statement

In the past months, I have been working at the Gene Ramos law office as a legal assistant under the attorney’s office. Primarily, the firm focuses on wrongful termination and personal injury. The legal knowledge accrued from my studies has been instrumental in the cases I have been handling. Further, the guidance I receive from the attorney and the experience I have gained from resolving client’s legal matters continue to inspire me to achieve my dream of becoming an attorney, or as I now refer to as a guardian of the people and custodian of the law.

Statement of Purpose

Throughout my adult life, there has been a constant and strong connection to Sociology and, in particular, the law. My professional life has seen an on-going theme of law enforcement and protection, which I have always seen Sociology as being supportive of. As my career progresses, it is becoming increasingly clear that I need to build upon my previous education to better meet the demands of my profession. Equally, it is a dream of mine to teach Sociology at university level and I see achieving my master’s degree as being the first stepping stone on that journey.
Prior to my ...

My intellectual love affair with chemistry and forensic science began in my high school years. I was lucky, during this formative period of my life, to have a series of excellent chemistry instructors and classes; my enthusiasm for chemistry grew throughout these years. I became more and more interested in the discipline; in my free time, I read chemistry books and learned the history of the subject. It was clear to me that I wanted to build a career out of this interest. After I graduated high school, I was accepted into the Abu Dhabi police force academy to complete a study ...

Personal Statement

I have always been a determined person and always tried my best to accomplish my goals. Despite the fact that achieving goals brings satisfaction, my achievements have always made me aim even higher. Ever since I was young, I have always yearned to study at the Boston University. When I was to begin my undergraduate education, I applied to this institution and my application was accepted. However, due to financial constrains at that time, my family could not afford to facilitate my education at the university. I had to resort to other options, but promised myself that I would work ...

I am submitting my application to enter the Master in Criminology and Criminal Justice program to achieve an advanced understanding by learning how the criminal justice process operates. My interests lie in discovering how human behaviour can affect the application of law and how different strategies can be implemented when dealing with preventative techniques and the resolution they are meant to produce. I am very passionate about the study of Criminology as it has thus far challenged my extensive researching skills and enabled me to hone my critical thinking abilities. This field has also taught me the value of ...

I have always considered that the person who invented society was probably the greatest genius ever living on earth. Social norms, human relationships, communication, collaboration, progress, society, they are all part of a political system. Excepting the abstract concepts such as love, happiness or virtue, everything in the world, locally or globally, at micro level, or at macro level, is political. The dynamics and particularities of the international political scene fascinate me. It is with great interest that I follow the socio-political concepts integrated in the speeches or strategies of politicians or in the pleads and defenses of the lawyers. ...

Admission Essay – Birmingham Foundation Academy

My decision to choose the University of Birmingham as the headquarters for my future education comes from a variety of factors. Having grown up in Nigeria, I have experienced a number of difficulties throughout my life, all seen through the lens of a young country that is still struggling to find its place in the world. The primary source of wealth in the Nigerian government today is oil, a substance which has caused quite a bit of strife and corruption in my country – the way it is refined, distributed and taxed still suffers from quite a few problems. To that end, I want to make a ...

My country has recently become independent and despite its fast development and constant improvements, the country still lacks the fresh blood educated according to the Western democratic values that are still to be implemented in its legislation. To gradually substitute the Soviet past with the democratic present, our youth needs to study in the countries that are the cradles of the democracy.
For this reason, four years ago I took the Foundation course at HEFP, holding the conditional offer from the University of Warwick to study business law. Due to personal circumstances I was forced to continue my ...
