Stress can occur to any human being. Stress is a normal psychological and physical reaction to the demands of life particularly to traumatic incidences. The process of induced abortion or natural is a stressful time for many women (Adler, N. E., David, H. P., Major, B. N., Roth, S. H., Russo, N. F., & Wyatt, G. E. 1990, p. 41). The stress can occur before and after abortion. In this study we are focusing only on post abortion stress. Women who undergo abortion natural or induced are likely to experience acute stress i.e. Acute stress originates from the demands and ...

Divorce is the dissolution or termination of a marital union. It is the reorganizing or cancelling of legal responsibilities of the marriage, thus breaking the bonds of matrimony between a husband and wife under the rule of law of a given country or state.

Divorce as a legal process comes along with some factors, which involve the distribution of property, child support, child custody, spousal support, child access, vision of debt and parenting time.

Abstract

Bullying and discrimination are a pervasive and highly damaging situation within school systems throughout the country (NYSUT, 2013). In recent years, this trend has expanded to include issues of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) related bullying and abuse, and the increasing dangers of cyberbullying (i.e. the use of the Internet to abuse classmates), making it paramount to pass legislation that is effective in controlling these trends. The possible effectiveness of the DASA (or Dignity Act) as anti-bullying legislation will be discussed, as well as the historical background of bullying as a practice and its effects. While anti-bullying measures ...

Kwame Kilpatrick former Detroit Mayor Case

Kwame M. Kilpatrick who was the former mayor of Detroit was sentenced for 28 years in jail for being involved in a corruption scandal. The defense should not apply to either reduce Kwame’s sentence or exonerate him. Kwame had greatly embezzled the city’s funds not only during his time as the mayor but also when he was a state legislator (Spence, 2011). His corrupt actions warranted him to get the harshest sentence possible given that he was a public official. Although the defense requested that he should receive a term that is not more than 15 years, ...

Broken Window Theory

The broken window (theory) refers to a criminological theory devised by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling. The theory states that monitoring and maintaining urban environments in a structured and well-ordered condition can stop vandalism. The theory investigates the effects of social disorder such as anti-social behavior as it relates to community life. Additionally, it correlates vagrancy, social norms and quality of community life. It is imperative to define social norms and disorder in order to efficiently examine how the broken windows concept requires both police and neighborhood participation.

According to Keizer and Lindengard (2008), social norms and ...

Children, as our messengers into the future we will not be able to experience, are our most valuable resource. Hence, the serious threat juvenile delinquents pose to the current and future safety of the American society. Debates have aroused about parents’ legal responsibility for their minor children’s behavior, both civil and criminal. So far, there are laws established that hold parents only civilly liable, like the Parent Liability Child’s act, where the parent’s obligation is to pay, depending on the State’s maximum monetary amount, for damage done by their minor children until they reach the ...

At various stages of human development the workforce performance was different. Primitive society was characterized by full employment, whereas, during the feudalism era, there was an absolute and relative agrarian overpopulation of free citizens, some of whom became soldiers, in order to do at least something. Under the conditions of frequent capitalism in the industrial stage of development, when market economy dominates in most of the countries, we have a new socio-economic phenomenon — army of unemployed.
Unemployment is a complex socio-economic phenomenon in which the economically active population is unemployed.In a market economy, unemployment is a result of the ...

Introduction

Childhood obesity is a contemporary problem of great relevance. Rates of the children diagnosed with this condition have increased considerably in the recent decades. Studies account that about 30% of children and adolescents in America are obese (Kiess 213). Obesity can easily be recognized; however, it cannot be treated easily. Nutritionists mainly associate obesity with unhealthy weight gain caused by aspects such as lack of exercise and poor eating habit. An abnormal weight gain trend indicates the likelihood of developing an obese condition. However, a child is not regarded obese until when he or she records a weight of ...

Introduction

The rise and development of America has a lot of historic landmarks. Being a nation of multiracial origin, discrimination was among the major problems that the minority groups in America faced. People were discriminated based on the skin color and their race. People lived very suspicious lives. Due to the differences, the Americans lived very suspicious of one another. The most devastating aspect of this discrimination was manifested when the incidence of “trail of tears occurred.” It was a historical happening where there was forceful relocation and ethnic cleansing that took place when the Native Americans were evicted from ...

People tend to feel good when they have established a daily routine, and a life in general, which complies with the rules of the community they belong, their morals, and personal beliefs. It is perhaps the safety provided to them by the entire societal structure around them that makes them not willing to accept anything “out of the ordinary”, when ordinary is what they have baptized as normal, based on all the aforementioned. With this in mind, being homosexual was definitely something a community could not easily accept. Having sexual drives with a particular focus on same-sex relationships was ...

Abstract

There exist numerous defenses to criminal charges. The defenses are usually used by the persons facing particular charges in a bit to negate the requisites of a crime, especially the aspect of intent. In criminal cases the general rule is that crimes are offences that are usually committed against the government. Every person is usually presumed innocent until the contrary is proved. As such, the burden of proof lies on the government to prove that a crime was committed and that the accused person committed the alleged crime. The prosecution side, which represents the government in a criminal trial, ...

Introduction:

After two consecutive Democratic Party victories in the Presidential Election (2008 and 2012), the Republican Party will be looking to regain the country’s top Executive position although they face significant challenges in doing so. President Barack Obama remains relatively popular although he has taken quite a battering on the healthcare reform issue with the Republicans fighting tooth and nail to deny him any progress in this field. His final two years will also be significant, since Congressional elections in 2014 will probably see the Republicans take over the Senate, thus ...

Introduction

Poverty is the deprivation of basic things like money, food or assets that are essential for a normal life. GDP on the other hand is the goods and services produced within the by a country in a year. It is known that with increase in poverty it leads to reduction in output of a country. This is because essential resources that are vital for production are lacking. It also means that human capital is insufficient and consequently the resources needed to stir growth are used to feed and provide for the poor population.
Poverty and unstable GDP are common ...

Introduction

Obesity is caused by various unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as poor dieting and lack of physical activity, but obesity in children is a social problem because the behaviors of children are influenced by their social settings, including families, schools, and communities. Obesity needs to be prevented because it is associated with both immediate negative effects (e.g. risk factors for cardiovascular disorders, prediabetes, joint disorders, and social stigmatization) and long-term negative health effects (e.g. type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer, osteoarthritis, heart disease, etc.) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014).

Introduction

Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been considered one of the key determinants of criminal behavior. Family-level SES is usually determined by measuring income, education level, and occupation, but SES is a multilevel concept that applies to both family and community levels (Bradley & Corwyn, 2002). Families with low SES will more likely live in neighborhoods with low community-level SES, which limits the children’s educational opportunities and increases their exposure to violence (Bradley & Corwyn, 2002). Consequently, the children will identify themselves with the community and adopt its patterns of violent behavior.
The influence of both family-level and community-level SES is ...

Background

Poverty is broadly defined as insufficient resources for an adequate standard of living. (ECLAC, 2008). Crime is defined as action against the law or violation of the law (Finkelhor, 2009). Glaeser and Kahn (2008) have indicated in their research on Chicago inner-city communities that an adolescent getting exposed to crime due to poverty has 100 times more probabilities to commit crimes later in his life. Finkelhor (2009) in his research sought an answer for the root causes of criminal behavior. He found a relationship between poverty and criminal activity. His findings show that a poor person is five times ...

The oppression of the LGBT community, as well as their denial of civil rights, has become a commonplace fixture in today’s society. Many people see them as different, or abnormal. They see no reason to provide them with the same basic rights, such as marriage or parenting, that straight people are provided. Some feel so extremely about the LGBT community that they harm members, actions known as hate crimes, in order to instill fear, or set an example. The LGBT community is gaining progress in many separate states concerning their civil rights, but it appears that where progress ...

Should Children Who Commit Crime be tried as Adults?

Before the introduction of Juvenile Court System in 1899, individuals under 17 years who committed a crime were subjected to a similar system as adults. However, psychologists discovered that contrary to the perception that juveniles were hardened criminals, they are youths who have lost their way. Thus, the main objective for the introduction of the Juvenile Court System was not to imprison and punish the juveniles, but to rehabilitate them. This system works under the same viewpoint as the other justice system, which concentrates on encouraging good behavior instead of punishing bad. Victims are given a number of opportunities ...

Part I: Decision-making and Philosophy

Unemployment and the legislator’s decision regarding the unemployment benefits
Congressional republicans’ reluctance to extend the unemployment insurance, which led to its expiry on the 28 December last year, is cruel. The high unemployment rate caused by the 2008 recession prompted the government to expand the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program. The expansion was aimed at providing some income for the long-term unemployed persons who had already exhausted the usual 26 weeks of the period of state benefits. The program was extended for a period of up to 99 weeks whiles the federal and states also collaborated to ...

At the same time international law recognizes that family plays an essential role in the life of a person and human society as a whole. The right ...

Discrimination is the act of unfairly treating someone, or a group of people, based on the category to which they belong rather than on the basis that they deserve such treatment. The unfair treatment may be based on age, race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, height, size, sex, mental ability and physical ability. It involves treating other people with prejudice. Discrimination limits opportunities for individuals. Discrimination is an injurious behavior and should be discouraged in any way.

According to sociological and criminological studies, social problems, namely poverty, race, and punishment are interconnected. Different scholars have developed five core arguments regarding the interconnection of these problems. The first is that criminal victimization and sanctions perpetuate stratification and poverty. The understanding of this argument requires an exploration of the current trends in criminal punishment by poverty status and ethnicity. It also demands an examination of how victimization patterns vary across races and how sanctions affect future chances at life. Criminal sanctions are usually inflicted by a state; however, the determination of the severity of the sanctions needs justification ( ...

Literature tackles significant themes that relate to social issues and situations. Some of them are relevant in helping us understand human nature or explore life during specific periods in history. Nadine Gordimer's "Country Lovers" and Patricia Smith’s "What it's like to be a Black Girl” illustrate both concepts, such that they are different types of literature but an analysis of these two focuses on human nature in relation to the influence of a specific period of history, specifically during the decades that racism was prevalent in different parts of the world. Moreover, both literary works show the impact ...

Life accords everyone an opportunity of living once; in this case, one ought to be careful of the choices taken. Many teenagers make wrong decision by leading a life of crime without the knowledge that every misdeed has a consequence.

This paper critically argues in favor of the adult court by exposing juveniles to life imprisonment or even prison without parole. Mccabe (2007) argue that in the current society, the crime rates continue to skyrocket and the minors ...
