Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

The book, “Nickel and Dime” by Gary Soto is once again proof that the author knows how to weave seemingly pointless stories together in order to prove something greater. The novel is a highlight reel of America’s consumerist tendencies, pack mentality, and how we force those we believe do not belong to the sidelines even when they so desperately want to be a part of what we are building. Many of the characters included in the novel appear to be criminals on the surface, desperate for what may not be theirs for the taking. Society paints them in this way, ...

We are often contracted to be coerced by our everyday actions because we believe that everyone in the group is better off. If a person buys something voluntarily, they know that they will have to pay tax on that product because it is of the benefit to the majority. There will be harm from the state if they don’t pay the tax or they will not receive what they want. There is a problem when people can’t make good judgments or there is a choice or alternative and the only option is to participate. This is not voluntary. If ...

People spend money for apparently many reasons. We spend money to sustain our daily lives; we spend money for foods, rents and many other bills. Though we predominantly spend money for good reasons, some people in a bid to enlighten their lives extravagantly spend money.

Trial vs. Plea Bargaining

Trial The oldest and most well-known form of dispute resolution in criminal cases is the jury trial (Kadri, 2005). Certainly, the jury trial is the fundamental dispute resolution mechanism of the American adversarial legal system. In fact, the core principle of the criminal justice system holds that disputes are most effectively resolved when the parties in contention are made responsible for: (1) investigating and gathering their own evidence and (2) presenting their own arguments to a neutral and passive lay decision-maker who decides which party presented the most convincing argument (Kadri, 2005). Furthermore, the entire process is subject to ...

For example, the prevalence of crime among the African American populace has significantly influenced the school of thought of ...

The first question is all about whether the father—the one who refuses to let his daughter and the rest ...
