1.1 In her taxonomy, Joh (2005) describes private policing as law enforcement activities offered through agencies owned and controlled by private individuals. That said, unlike their public counterparts, private police officers concentrate on property loss, preventive techniques, private justice, and safeguarding personal interests. As such, these entities mainly operate as parallel entities, each focusing on their individual duties in law enforcement. This taxonomy is both useful and an excellent beginning in the categorization of various forms of private policing as explained below. On the one hand, some of the existing classifications include publicly contracted, protective, intelligence, and corporate security ...

Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper was published in 1892. The story introduces a candid female protagonist who’s isolation from society, and from her writing, drives her insane.

As it is known, survival in adverse conditions that threaten the life of a living being rarely depends on only the strength or intelligence of this creature. When it comes to survival, the ability to protect oneself from danger and adaptation to the conditions that are dangerous for the lives and well-being of an organism play a very important role. In The Origin of Species, Darwin said that in nature those individuals survive who “are best fitted for their places in nature” (Darwin, 1861, p. 93). So, the initial stage of natural selection is the development of some traits ...

Any person can acknowledge that sex sells, particularly Carl Jr. Considering the commercials done by Mr. Carl Jr., it is clear that he uses models that are extremely sexualized for more than ten years.

Essay in English Law Whether it is Unfair for Criminal Justice Insiders to Sit On Jury

Most likely, it is unfair for someone who works in the criminal justice system to be chosen to participate as jury selection-members, in the British legal system. Prior to the time of the Global Recession of 2008, one report discussed several aspects of the UK-defined protocol of what a jury-system process entails. Commentary was made regarding the UK jury system historical roots, trial-jury size, secrecy, independence, and selection (“Jury Service – Crown Prosecution”). One set of erudite Australian Professors noted that the advent of social media had fundamentally caused problems, especially during trials (Wallace et al. 2011). Consider, however, the ...

In Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”, the typical Victorian marriage is constructed as a prisoner from which a woman is only able to escape when she becomes insane. Her insanity becomes her only way of defying her husband, and gaining freedom. The author’s feminist argument in “The Yellow Wallpaper” is skillfully constructed by creating a protagonist whose growing mental instability is narrated from her own perspective. However, ironically, at the same time with her worsening mental state, she evades the social rules and pressures which had entrapped her in an unhappy marriage. While her mental condition ...

American Literature

To a certain degree, it may be taken as a symbol of American literature of the nineteenth century as naïve ideals and naïveté ...

In the system of practical philosophy, ethics occupies a special place. It specifies the ethics and inspires a well-known formula of the ancient philosopher Protagoras that man is the measure of all things, justifying the idea of man as the highest value and self-worth, the sense of life and how to achieve happiness. Ethics calls to treat a man as the aim and never treat man merely as a means. Ethics is a philosophy of morals, values, and ethos. The concept of morality is often limited to the level of elementary culture of communication, so the meaning and the ...

The loss of motivation and one’s bearing in life also often leads to a loss of confidence and direction. This proves more significantly relevant to people who are older which is the case seen in Fusi Bergman and Miss Hancock.

The two short stories God is not a Fish Inspector and The Metaphor both tackles the theme of conformity and betrayal. Whereas one emphasized a way of life guided through religion, the other showed one that focuses on strict compliance to order and discipline. ...

Once, she was forced to undergo a course of treatment for what the doctor felt was a severe nervous breakdown. The psychiatrists in those days, in the nineteenth century, were in the habit of looking at a woman as a domestic animal and diagnose her mental disorders as a result of her distorted domestic life. Gilman fictionalizes her experience in order to highlight the state of the subordinated life of a woman in her days, particularly the suppressed state of a married woman. ...

The film “Lost in Translation” is really about the difficulties in translation, but not so much in the linguistic sense, as in the human, - translation of others’ feelings ("Lost In Translation (2003)"). The film is not so much the words as the information, the mood and emotions are not concluded just in words. This is perhaps one of the few movies, where the characters’ silence can be comfortable and talk about many things. A slow, as it might seem, dragged action is not the lack of pictures – that's the essence of the whole atmosphere of loneliness – the characters ...

Utilitarianism is a form of normative ethics. According to Utilitarianism, an action will be classified as moral or immoral based on the end result that comes from such an action. Therefore, Utilitarianism classifies a moral action as any action that maximizes utility (Graham 121-161). Utility refers the wellbeing of the sentient entities in the society which arises from the aggregate good that arises from the action. In order to understand the good, the concept of hedonism is applied. According to hedonism, anything is deemed to be good if it led to pleasure (Graham 39-52). Nonetheless, the concept of hedonism ...

In the past and today marriage is still presented as the main goal and dream for women, implemented in numerous vague sitcoms, romantic movies, and symbolism of the pop ...

The depiction of a setting as the main hindrance or destructive force behind the fall of a protagonist is evident in William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper, and D. H. Lawrence’s The Rocking-Horse Winner. As the authors develop the settings around the main characters’ homes, the mentioned texts go on to give the otherwise lifeless structures roles of their own as they affect the inhabitants in one way or another. To that end, Emily’s house symbolizes her gradual deterioration while the unknown narrator regards her house as one would ...

In the Victorian period The Woman Question was a widely discussed topic, and engaged many Victorians, both male and female. The ideal woman of that age was associated with tenderness, understanding, innocence, domestic affection and submissiveness. The woman had to maintain the status and integrity of her husband, being always the devoted and pleasing angel in the house. Coventry Patmore supported the idea that women should be extremely pure and selfless in his popular, best-selling long poem “The Angel in the House” (1854). A woman that failed at such responsibilities was labelled either mad or hysterical. During the Victorian ...

Abstract

This is a review of a paper called, “Are Humans the Source of Canine Mange? From the journal Parasites and Vectors. I reviewed the paper and determined that the study was both accurate and sound.

The results indicated that humans were not the main carriers of Sarcoptes scabiei to dogs and other canines and that further studies should be undertaken.
