In a normal society, the tendency of people to identify themselves with a certain class is common. These classes are based on factors such as social status, income ...

Community policing

The police protect people and enforce laws. However, nowadays, in some communities, police officers do not consider protecting people to be the main task of their job. Instead, they abuse people, especially those with different skin color or religious views. Moreover, some of the police officers use their job to take bribes. In recent years, there have been several cases of such police officers’ misconduct. This thesis is aimed at examining whether community policing leads to less abuse police authority or not. The paper will be divided into two parts. The first part will be devoted to the issue ...

Abstract

Censorship has been a debatable issue for decades with critics viewing it as an infringement on the rights that have been enshrined in many constitutions of many countries; this is the main reason why the notion of censorship in any sector is met with extreme resistance; however, it is a part of history that those holding positions of power often use this idea to suppress what they feel are ideas that might lead to opposition or other fundamental ideas that might threaten their hold over the people; when it comes to literature it is important to consider the effect ...

Who was James Brown? He was known my several monikers that paid tribute to his talent and contributions to the world of American music. Many have heard the term “God Father of Soul” or “the hardest working man in show business.” Of course, no one is sure as to whether “hardest working” is a description for amount of times spent in practice and musical development or how passionately he danced. James Brown was an American singer.
James was the originator and chief pioneer of the style of music known as funk. Thus, he deserves credit for its complicated grooves ...

Tennessee Williams’ play Orpheus Descending is a modern retelling of the well known Greek legend of Orpheus, who goes deep into the Underworld for his beloved Eurydice, to save her from the clutches of death. In the same manner, Williams portrays characters in a conventional Southern community, marred by issues such as conformity to traditionalism, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge and respect those who are different. Thus, these outcasts who are of an unacceptable sexual, religious or racial affiliation are treated as lepers, not even knowing why they are unworthy of basic human rights. All of this forces them to ...

This excellent book by Joseph Damato examines a murder which took place in the early 1980’s by father and son who were both farmers and who were on the brink of destitution with their farm abandoned and mortgaged off to the bankers who eventually met their end in a grisly murder. The murders took place in rural Minnesota, a land of superstition and loneliness where James and Steven Jenkins had to face ostracization from their peers for failing to perform on the farm.
D’Amato delves deep into the psychological problems of the father and son with the ...

The effects of bilingualism in a minority language on third language acquisition

Abstract
In the area of language acquisition, bilinguals differ from monolinguals in several ways. It is accepted that previous language knowledge is facilitative in developing proficiency in a new language and both the learner’s native and non-native languages can be sources of influence in acquiring a new language. Given the evidence that in some social situations knowledge of a second language is facilitative in learning a third, the paper investigates to what extent knowledge of a widely-spoken but non-official local language can be shown to be facilitative in this way. The students ...

There are several theories about the different models of bisexual behavior. Thus, there are 13 types of bisexuality based on the sexual desires and experiences. According to Flanders and Hatfield, alternating bisexuals may first have a sexual relationship with a man, and then can choose a woman, and then again return to men. Bisexual on the circumstances are mainly heterosexual, but can choose a partner of the same sex only ...

Abstract

In “The Death of the Author,” structuralist thinker Roland Barthes suggested the notion of the author as a distinct identity in the creation and interpretation of a text was a thing of the past. Instead, he preferred the use of the word “scriptor” to refer to the person writing or typing a work for the first time. The ideas in the scriptor's mind would have to travel through his or her semiotic filters to make it to the paper – those filters take the ideas and shape them – for example, the inspiration ...

As myriad of changes continue being experienced in the health sector, several challenges prevent effective implementation of healthcare services. These challenges include limitation in healthcare services, inefficient skills, unskilled personnel, poverty and huge gap between the number of skilled healthcare providers and number of patients seeking services. These problems further intensify in rural areas whereby the distance between patients and healthcare facilities prevent timely access to healthcare. This explains why several federal policies target problems facing the rural poor. Studies further show that more than 15 percent of healthcare beneficiaries reside in rural areas (Thrall, 2012). These patients depend ...

Being known to people is a social phenomenon that is ascribed to the objects that the popular individual interacts with. People in the society become well known because of the collective attention that they get from the societal members. Although all human beings have a role that they play in the society, the individuals who are well known provoke a social influence to other members in the society.

This is a question that films like Raging Bull and The Godfather Part 1 attempt to answer. These films feature "bad" boys who resort to socially unapproved and criminal behavior and still seem to get away with it. In a world where societies make the rules, perhaps their appeal lies in their ability to bend and break those rules. Nevertheless, there are reasons why they seem so untouchable—reasons that have to do with their immediate context, their thinking and their values. This paper will attempt to analyze those reasons.
The film Raging Bull (1980) is arguably a film ...

The topic of consumer buying behavior has researched by a number of scholars, and each one of them has illustrated what are the possible factors that influence or guide consumer behavior. Therefore, when organizations plan their strategies to ‘guide’ consumers, they do so by studying these factors and using them to design and market their products or services. This involves the participation of all stakeholders in the planning and strategizing process. The stakeholders could include the design team, the production team, finance, marketing, purchase and stores to name a few, and it is the collective effort ...
