INTRODUCTION

In human society there have always been laws and lawbreakers. Police were designed to protect the public from the dangerous offenders who might steal from them, harm them or kill them. The idea was that police were to be a positive inclusion in American cities, towns and neighborhoods. In some cases and some places they are exactly that. However, over the last few years there have been more and more instances where police have committed acts of unnecessary force, extreme violence and, unfortunately, including the use of deadly force in cases where their actions and motivation are being questioned ...

1.0 Introduction

Historically, civil engineering is one of the oldest practices in engineering, and still remains the broadest professional field combined with scientific principles. Many early structures, facilities, and transportation aspects were the result of the greatest engineering minds, then branching out into materials science, soil mechanics, waterworks, environment, mechanics and other subgenre fields. However, a particular discipline thriving in one geographical area may not necessarily thrive in another. This explains why sustainable design in the United Kingdom prefers to keep its design sustainability a step ahead for all aspects of civil engineering design (Sherwin, 2012). Since civil engineering umbrellas a multitude ...

The author of this paper opines that the very question “is history a science or an art” is redundant. A scientist has to have a certain degree of creativity and imagination to be good at his or her work. For instance, in general terms, a zoologist has to understand organisms at the cellular level as well as have an understanding of their habits and needs to appreciate animal behavior. This not only requires scientific training but also a certain development of instincts and awareness, which in many ways makes the zoologist a keen observer of life, not unlike a literature professor or even a painter. ...

Phineas Priests

Phineas priests accept they are defended in killing individuals who, they say, "ignore God's laws" by performing premature births, wedding somebody of an alternate race, or being a gay person. They depend on the bible founded story of Phineas, described in Numbers 25, to add God's gift to their shocking convictions and fierce actions. Paul Hill, the man declared guilty the fetus removal center homicides of Dr. John Britton and his escort, James Barrett, supported his kindred hostile to fetus removal radicals to submit "Phineas activities." He utilized the same Old Testament section to support such movements. The far right ...

At the Battle of Cowpens in South Carolina on January 17, 1781, throughout the Revolutionary War (1775-83), American troops under Brigadier General Daniel Morgan (1736-1802) attacked British armies under Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton (1754-1833). The Americans exacted substantial setbacks on the British, and the fight was a defining moment in the war's Southern campaign. American rifles, despised by Britain's expert troopers, demonstrated devastatingly successful in this engagement. More than 800 British troops were executed, wounded or caught. The Americans endured not exactly 100 setbacks in the first Patriot triumph to show that they could whip a comparative British constrain without any ...

Photography and death:

Introduction: Death in photography has always been a controversial subject and this continues to elucidate comments especially when considering the ethical implications of photography itself. Nostalgia is also an important element of photography and this has been revealed in several artist’s work most notably those like Sally Mann and Luc Delahaye who have both treated the subject of death with some detail especially in their portrayal of dead and decomposing bodies. When one writes about death in photography, we also have to deal with the ‘death of the subject’. After we press the shutter the subject 'dies' at ...

Introduction

Over the last 200 years, we as a society have gone through many changes. We’ve seen two wars on our own soil, 9 monarchs and 54 prime ministers. We’ve even seen the Chanute's hang glider of 1896, and we can now compare the first steps of the invention to what is now an aeroplane. Although there aren’t many of us in London now who were present for the 1st World War or the 2nd, photographs of soldiers in their trenches are available for the worlds viewing. The subject of death in photography has also been treated with ...
