(College/Institute) Crime scenes are studied and analyzed as if it were telling a story. In order to be able to ensure a “good ending,” that is the arrest, prosecution, and if warranted, conviction and imprisonment of the perpetrator, certain factors must be analyzed to help in the identification of the suspect. Behavioral patterns such as writing patterns, verbal and non-verbal movements, and speech instances all predict the ways that a person will act in certain situations. This distinct behavioral pattern must be consistent and is independent of the variable of the impact of the activity being done (Douglas, Munn, ...

Even though the days of his early naïve childhood is far gone, he still managed to preserve his unique ability to admire the world and everything that surrounds him. “I want to feel all there is to feel, he thought. Let me feel tired, now, let me feel tired. I mustn't forget, I'm alive, I know I'm alive, I mustn't forget it tonight or tomorrow or the day after that.” (Bradbury 14) – Douglas keeps repeating it on and on, as a sacred prayer, every day, just as he ...

In the 1970s, domestic violence came into view when feminist groups revealed the complicity in women to be compliant, even with men lifting their hand against them. Women who were maltreated were given refuge under the women’s movement, while health and social workers were being trained on how to handle women who were maltreated. By the 1980s, international organizations had declarations defining violence against women and children as “an unacceptable violation of human rights [and] a source of tragic consequences” (Romito, 2008, p.1). This, however, may have proven to be fragile, especially in certain parts of Europe wherein ...

DNA tracing has been a helpful way of identifying an unknown person. As a matter of fact, this advantage is being used in forensic investigations which will completely recognize the identity of an individual when being logged in the database. However, this brings about risk in the privacy and confidentiality of an individual. Therefore, DNA database should not be used for commercial purposes. A DNA profile,which is stored in database, is not only used to identify a single individual, but it also allows to track close relatives using the information which can be located in a single DNA ...

The Coca-Cola Company has a long history of innovation and development. The company was founded in 1886 by a recipe concoction created by pharmacist John S. Pemberton (Coca-Cola, n.d.).

The primary argument in this paper is the fact that the post-modernist approach to architecture was a representation of the effort by architecture to establish a voice of its own. This is built on the realization that architecture is a dynamic ...

The invention of mobile phones aimed at developing gadgets that could connect wirelessly to the public network. Communication through radio calls started some decades ago and was popular even during the 2nd World War. However, the use of wireless, portable, devices that can connect to a standard telephony network is much recent. Ideally, the first handheld telephone was launched by Motorola in 1973 (O’Shea, 2009). The first wireless, handheld gadgets were hardly portable, had a short talk time and took long to charge fully. Evidently, the first devices were less efficient compared to modern mobile phones.

Slavery was a controversial issue for the Founding Fathers of the USA. For the sake of building an independent country, they preferred to ignore the problems of inequality and injustice that slavery brought into the American society. Moreover, the majority of the Founders owned slaves themselves.

They came from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York or Pennsylvania and had to take into account conservative attitudes of the other Founding Fathers some of whom ...

Introduction Established by the Greek statesman, Solon, sometime in the 600 B.C., voting has always been a key feature of democracy. The international community regards it as the most basic human right, which should be protected and guaranteed to all citizens of a country as stipulated by internal human rights laws. A government by the people must have the participation of the people, which is realized through suffrage. Today, voting rights are already universally practiced, yet there are certain circumstances wherein such right is taken away by the state. In the United States, a person will lose ...

Modus Operandi

Modus operandi as a method of interpreting motive in crime is the most effective because unlike other methods like signature behavior, modus operandi can always evolve across various offenses. A criminal’s modus operandi behaviors are acquired through learning and hence are normally malleable and dynamic (Douglas, & Munn, 1992). On the one hand, this method may mean that criminals are likely to learn more effective skills and use them in future. It is through the repetition of once successful methods that a criminal is likely to provide clues to investigators. However, deteriorating mental ability of criminals may also occur ...

As a nurse or healthcare personnel, it is always important to have a personal philosophy that guides one in their daily professional practice.

In most cases, the professional practice derives satisfaction not form the wages and economic benefits but from the satisfaction with the outcomes each time they are reviewed (Laabs, 2011).

Old Testament Bible Dictionary Project:

Micah, Book of Micah 1:1 attributes the authorship to Micah of Moresheth. This was during the time of the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. His visions were particularly directed at Samaria, and Jerusalem. This makes the writings current with the dates of their reigns.

There are a lot of opinions about the word father and what kind of a person this man should be and what kind of obligations or the absence of them this person should have.

Before the onset of the American civil war, the issue of slavery and racial treatment of African –Americans and other non-White or Native Americans was at its long time high.

The thesis of this paper is that Frederick Douglas’ narrative about slavery and the subsequent events that led to the American civil war represent important events in the American history. This ...

History is full of wars, battles, rebellions and revolutions between peoples all across the globe for a plethora of reasons, both, ethical and unethical. When issues cannot be resolved and unrest begins to stir it is, fairly, inevitable, especially when that unrest involves a greater dominating force oppressing a more vulnerable one. This is when rebellion can occur and revolutions begin. One of the most famous revolutionary wars is, of course, the fight for American independence from British rule. But there was another revolution that took place, in the same era, where people rebelled against their oppression in order ...

The novel Emma was written by Jane Austen in 1815 and the film directed by Douglas McGrath was released in 1996 starring Gwyneth Paltrow.

There are many significant points throughout history that many regard as pivotal, the Renaissance, the Age of Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution are some. For Americans it is often the founding of the first colonies in the east and the fight for independence in the 1700s, however, the most significant event for many Americans today is the American Civil War, beginning in 1861 and ending in 1865. For the two sides of the War, the Union North and the Confederate South, the goals were rather different. For the Union army it was about quelling rebellion and preventing the succession ...

Introduction

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas was written by Douglas, not only as a means to recount his story, but in order to raise awareness about the predicament of the people who suffered from slavery. It was his belief that through his works, people will have a better understanding of the slavery and the need for its complete abolition. Douglas thought that, being a former slave himself, he was in the best position to tell the truth about slavery. Accordingly, the author provided some arguments in his books, a) he argued that slaves must be allowed to ...

Reciprocity of Marketing & Culture

INTRODUCTION The growing interdependence of global markets has made a more compelling case for culture as an increasingly significant variable in marketing efforts. For one, products and services produced at a global scale find more diverse platforms, particularly across virtual media. The pace, scale and content of products and/or services are, moreover, making an increasing case for more standardized offerings across different marketing contexts. Typically, consumer behavior metrics – including, most notably, conventional market research and more innovative approaches as data analytics platforms and applications – are adopted in order to identify consumer behaviors and needs. This approach to consumer behavior ...

What is Self-immolation?

MELISSA Self-immolation I believe, is one of the most interesting acts of protest, seemingly most common in cases where individuals aren’t happy with the political atmosphere. Thought, interesting it seems to be a favorite especially in many of the eastern countries in Asia. I think this could be one of their virtues, maybe because the Buddhist people believe in selflessness and a lot of history in their culture proves such acts of self-sacrifice for the benefit of a people or for some kind of greater cause. Looking at the cases of Self-immolation, it is quite true. There is ...

Writings on Hinduism have been remarkably expanded in the past decade by anthropological research which focuses on the real nature of religious practices, including the underlying philosophy, and examines the setting or environment as well as the written literature. Edward Harper, in his article Ritual Pollution as an Integrator of Caste and Religion (1964), vividly showed that the hierarchical relationship of the concepts of 'purity' and 'pollution', which are the foundational elements of caste, is based on a paradigm of society wherein different groups are brought together by the common pursuit of religion or rituals for the gods. The ...

As a postmodernist city

Art accompanies the humanity over a long period of time. It has already become an integral part of our lives. The man has invented many kinds of art: painting, music, theater, etc.; and architecture takes pride of place among this diversity of arts too.

The history of the Modern Art dates back in the 19th century and continued in the mid-20th century, a time marked by rapid industrialization and commercialization such that the old hierarchical order of the nobilities that originated way back in the Middle Ages collapsed and in turn the growth of the ‘bourgeoisie’ spearheaded the modernization by changing the society on the following aspects: philosophy, government, and culture. The changing societies and perceptions contributed to the increase for the demand in visual arts; in turn, these visual arts also evolved from religious to the highly secular themes that reflect the ...

Introduction:

Identity is a construct that encompasses the way people think about themselves and their role in the larger social environment. Human identity is enacted through social interactions with other people as well as the relationship built between them.

Absolute identity characteristics can be written in the body such as ethnicity or gender. Therefore, the way people behave reflects on their behavior, beliefs and affiliations.

In Jan Beatty’s “My Father Teaches Me to Dream”, the overriding theme is that a strong will to devote one’s life to work is more important than any other distractions, such as dreaming. Similarly, Georgia Douglas Johnson’s “Calling Dreams” stresses the value of a work ethic, and the wastefulness of spending one’s life dreaming. For example, Johnson states, “The right to make my dreams come true/I ask, nay, I demand of life,” (Johnson, 1-2). Here, the poetess makes her will clear, that she has just cause to pursue her dreams, and make them come true. ...
