The large number of patients that exist both inside and outside the ranks of military personnel makes PTSD a major public health issue (Keane, Marx & Sloan, 2009). Soldiers ...

Signs and symptoms of depression

Depressed persons may not experience each and every symptom of depression. There are those who experiences most of the symptoms while the rest only experiences a few of them. The degree of suffering varies from each affected individual. The severity of symptoms of depression differs among the affected persons and also over time. It is also important to note that there are also common signs and symptoms that affect every depressed person (Spek et.al, 2007). Although some of the signs and symptoms do not necessarily mean that an individual is suffering from depression, the severity determines if one is ...

Through the ages punishment as a sociocultural phenomenon has changed its aim and methods; however, the main meaning to community hardly transformed. In some cases, this stage is the only one key chance to get free, prove the innocence by acting on someone’s behalf.

This rule can be good for citizens even if the evidence proves guilt but cannot be used against them because in the matter in which it was obtained. This means the evidence is thrown out of court, and the individual may not be ...

While the death penalty is a form of punishment that has been around since he dawn of time, many people question whether the use of the death penalty is compatible with modern society. The death penalty also raises some interesting constitutional concerns.

Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were brutally murdered between 10:15 p.m. and 10:35 p.m. on Sunday June 12, 1994 in the front of Nicole Brown Simpson’s Brentwood condominium located in Los Angeles, California. O.J. Simpson committed these murders. The witness testimony and the evidence at the crime scene of the murders of Brown Simpson and Goldman clearly indicate that O.J. Simpson committed the crimes. However, the incompetence of the Los Angeles Police Department during the investigation of the murders allowed the defense to create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors so that a non-guilty verdict ...

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novels can be perceived as significant and resilient records of the contemporary Puritan society, disclosing the social and religious order prevalent at that time. His novels portray the clash between the individual and moral values and virtues and social goodness and ethical codes. Laurence Sargent Hall says: “The moral problem to be found wherever the individual’s mal- adjustment to society culminates in sin furnished Hawthorne with his major tragic themes. In the main this problem is worked out through some resolution by the individual of his mal- adjustment, an expiation of sin, by coming to ...

Question One

Interviews are those normal question-and-answer sessions between an investigator and either a victim or a witness. Most interviews are always carried out outside of the lock-up, in rooms designed specifically for interviews. Interrogations can be described as normal questioning of a suspect in a crime. They are mostly held within the safe confines of a lock-up facility. Before an investigator starts interviewing or interrogating someone, the objectives of the exercise must be laid down. The objectives can be to prove innocence, to have valuable facts and to get a confession. The next step involves watching every move that the party makes. This includes noting ...

The US government has recently been embroiled in a series of fresh scandals under the Obama administration. The nature of the United States dictates that the actions of the government elected over the polity are in direct oversight of the polity by virtue of the rights of citizens. This creates an environment wherein political figures are often tried by the court of public opinion despite the possibility of the ostensible legality of their actions. In what was one of the most sensational scandals of the last century, President Bill Clinton saw his administration stained very seriously following his illicit sexual ...

PSTD and Religious Faith

Combat PSTD and Religious Faith According to Dr. Nelson-Pechota (2004), every war has been virtually fought with a religious foundation. Faith in the divine powers has helped soldiers to confidently stride to a battle. Their religious faith has strengthened their courage and convictions. They also believe that they are favored or empowered by God when they meet with success in the battlefield. However, wars also create a moral confusion due to the combatants’ religious influences. As such, they find it conflicting to perform an act of violence which might be a sacred duty in another instance.

For combatants, intrusive thoughts and ...

These figures also provide an over representation of female soldiers who not only experience ...

It is the rather unusually higher grade rate that made Quinn suspicious about the reality of the mid- term examination and he investigates, and finds out that there ...

Criminal Law

Question No. 1 The philosophy of the Crime Control Model is that discovering, apprehending, and punishing offenders, preventing and deterring crime is considered a priority. The civil liberties are still protected, but shall be limited to the extent that they do not jeopardize social control. The repression, detection and efficient prosecution are central to this model. The failure to detect and successfully prosecute the offenders shall be considered as failure on the part of the government (Hall, 2011, p.316). When this happens, the public loses its confidence in the government, which will hinder its ability to detect and deter ...

Many people who suffer from a substance addiction also suffer from a mental health problem at the same time and the difficulties they are faced with far outweigh the effects of either alone. Often, only one of the two problems is identified and that depends on the primary problems treated where the diagnosis is given and which problem is most prominent. When one of the problems is severe it may eclipse the other problems the individual is suffering from.

Although one problem may be considered primary and the rest secondary, this does not mean that the individual isn’t experiencing serious ...

Introduction

Images embody cultural meanings or symbolisms in their very nature, color, text and other elements. These meanings are drawn, created or extended from a wide sociocultural context. Advertising communications seek to inform, persuade and identify their products with symbols that would give their products or brands approval in the eyes of the consumers. In order to achieve this, advertising must establish a dialogue and create a relationship with a consumer, which in turn means that they must draw on numerous ways of creating meaning or modes of communications. Create meaning/relationships draws is heavily influenced by culture. This paper argues that the Fiat Panda ...

1. In Judy Rebick’s essay The Culture of Overwork, her purpose is effectively to re-examine the cultural norms of ‘overwork,’ defined here as a pattern of workaholic behavior characterized by long hours, high stress, guilt at unfinished work, etc. Judging the essay by standards of completeness and the relevance of the essay’s support, Rebick’s essay is somewhat solid, though there could be further support and elaboration on her part to further prove the inherent ethical and physical problems with overwork, as well as finding solutions for the problem.

In her arguments, Rebick makes use of ...

The movie Ordinary People describes the tragedy of family in a realistic manner. It portrays what can happen to the family belonging to the upper middle class when they face tragedy unexpectedly, and the entire order is disturbed.

The movie has realistically considered the guilt that is misplaced at each level. The inability of the family for working together in the form of the system via the tragedies bring them to the path where ...

The Japanese criminal court system is based on American law traditions. Back in 1922 Japanese criminal law used the Old Code of Criminal Law that was based on German law. The new code of criminal law was established after World War II and the 1946 Japanese Constitution. In 1948, Japan adopted a new criminal code (Abe and Niebler,1962).Japan has made multiple amendments to the criminal code since the 1960s. Once a person has been arrested and becomes a suspect in a crime, they have the opportunity to discuss the charges with a public prosecutor and sometimes a detention judge. After the suspect has ...

The short passage is evidence as to the suffering and agony that the monster, Frankenstein, experienced as a result of his loneliness and the grotesque sight that he was taken to be. Filled with anger and indignation that surged out of his painful quest for companionship, Frankenstein sought to wage vengeance on his creator, Victor Frankenstein, and make his life as painful as his own (Cobley, p 33). Surrendering to his painful fate, that of a monster, Frankenstein decides to adopt an evil nature which he was unwillingly chosen and crated for.

The theme of monstrosity is dominantly evidenced in this passage. ...

Introduction

In today’s hectic lifestyles, it is common for people to experience circumstances that are very difficult to handle. No individual is immune to challenges and it is these problems that enable people to grow and mature. The manner in which people deal with these problems differs markedly. According to Crabb (1977), people react to difficulties in life with feelings of guilt, anxiety or resentment. Counseling can help an afflicted person to deal with life’s challenges. The American Counseling Association’s mission is to improve the societal quality of life through enabling professional counselors to develop, advancing counseling ...

Introduction

In criminal law evidence, a confession is a statement by a suspect in crime that incriminates that person. According to Roesch, Zapf & Hart (2009), in more than 25 percent DNA exoneration cases, innocent defendants made incriminating statements, pled guilty or delivered outright confessions. This point out those confessions does not always come out of actual guilt or internal knowledge, but sometimes a product of external factors. Innocent people confess because of a variety of factors, including coercion, duress, diminished capacity, mental impairment, fear of violence, ignorance of the law, threat of harsh sentence, and the actual infliction of harm. The aim of this ...

The court that I visited was the Boston Municipal Court which was located at the Government Center T stop on the Green Line. The name of the judge was Honorable Charles R. Johnson.

There was a witness who testified before the court and was the cashier during the time the defendant stole the money. The cashier was a 25 year old girl who was on duty when the crime took ...

Introduction

Imposition of the death penalty as a legal form of punishment has been practiced in America since the early colonial times, when the concept was imported by the colonists from Great Britain (Malik & Holdsworth, 2014, p.693). The purpose of this paper is to review and synthesize the published views and opinions offered by various authors on the death penalty and it’s use as a punishment in today’s America.

The Research

Public Support: An important consideration is whether use of the death penalty currently has public support across the nation. According to Malik & Holdsworth (p.706), such support “reached an all-time high in ...

Eric Erickson started the psychosocial development theory that discusses the stages of a person’s life. These stages can be observed from my autobiography. I was born in California with a very rich family. I was told that my mother was a banker while my father was a very prominent businessperson. According to Erickson stages of development, during my infant years when I was about one to three years during the learning basic trust and basic mistrust stage (Crain, 1985). I was well handled and nurtured by my parents. However, when I was about three and a half years my parents and I were ...

Introduction:

When we speak of the public sphere, we think of public opinion and this is borne out by Jurgen Habermas accordingly in his various books and scholarly articles. The transmission of news is essential to development of public opinion due to the fact that this opinion is constantly shaped by what is fed by the news cycle and the media networks. Habermas points out various ways how the news cycle affects public opinion and we shall analyse these in detail below.

Literature review

Habermas remains an important figure with regard to the implementation of public policy and the effects of the ...

Research Problem/Question: The researchers had based their research on the argument that violent especially shooting video games have become most important leisure activity among youth. With the increasing praise for such games in media and public, these games have stimulated aggressive behavior and feelings of inattention towards friends and family as the users have perceived these animated characters as social beings and they are not actively involved in social activities. Apart from enjoyment and stimulation of aggressive behavior, youths feel no wrong in killing; rather they enjoy playing these games. However, very little research has been done to assess ...

The resignation of Port Hueneme Police Chief Kathleen Sheehan amid claims of improprieties brings forward the ethical issue: whether or not it was the right thing to do (Martinez 2). Was resignation the most ethical solution to the problem Chief Sheehan was facing? Since there is no knowing the truth until she herself lays it out into the open. One point to consider, though, is if she was not guilty of the allegations thrown at her, why did she give in and sign an agreement with interim City Manager Richard Velthoen? Why did she resign without fuss? Her action ...

James Baldwin is best known for his novels, short stories and essays. Most of his work revolves around the themes of discrimination towards blacks and homosexuals. Most of his work is considered to be at least somewhat autobiographical because a reader can often detect the traces of his own past torture and dilemmas. The loneliness and the suffering from all the taunts which he faced all his life are reflected in his writings.

Baldwin was born in Harlem in August 1924. His mother was Emma Berdis Jones, who happened to be single and poor at the time. No one never ...

Plea bargaining occurs when the prosecuting attorney and the defendant agree that the accused should accept they are guilty in a specific charge and the attorney to reduce the charges or the sentence they had requested the jury. It is necessary to note that plea bargaining only applies in criminal cases. As a result of a plea bargain, the accused accepts guilt in a lesser charge than the one they had been accused of. For example, a plea bargain would result in the defendant pleading guilty to manslaughter when in the first instance they had been accused of murder. In return for the defendant’ ...

Throughout the history, there have been noteworthy literacy movements, many of which have been over and done. Two of the most important literacy movements throughout the time have been transcendentalism and romanticism.

Transcendentalism was a literacy form in the 19th century. Under this literacy form, many writers have contributed in its movement. Among the major pioneers in this literacy form include Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Bronson Alcott Theodore Parker. Based on the works of these great transcendentalists I will elucidate the differences that exist between Romanticism and Transcendentalism.

Romanticism draws outs strong feelings and demonstrates significant actions. It is about a ...

Any situation that involves holding juvenile suspects can be rife with controversy – at least depending on the amount of resources that the parents have to provide quality representation for those juveniles. In the instance of these two boys, whose parents are not at hand, though, the risk of any parental outrage bringing meaningful consequences to the situation is significantly lessened. The fact that the two boys already have juvenile records for robbery and assault increases the probability that they may have committed this crime, and so I chose Option #1. I initially challenged my partner about the way ...

Many people with disability have observed and experienced substantial change to cultural approaches towards disability in their lifetimes. People with disability experience serious difficulties of misunderstanding and discrimination. Society attitudes towards disability are emphasized by the accepted terminology used to define people with disability. The people view the person with his or her impairment as a person having the impairment. Due to the exposure of the modern world, it has become so complicated to understand different cultural backgrounds. The couple may belong to different social or racial backgrounds, and the diverse cultures may be represented among the kids and parents. ...

The level of guilt associated with a crime can often differ according as to who makes that decision: the prosecutor, jury, or judge. The degree of guilt determines the criminal penalty the defendant can be sentenced with.

In the United States, crimes have a very narrow definition; therefore, a person charged with a crime knows exactly what they are being charged with, and which elements the prosecutor must prove for him to be found guilty. The defendant also knows what defenses he can use to prove his innocence. Furthermore, should the defendant be found guilty of a crime, any criminal penalty imposed on the ...

My pattern of life or worldview is Christian. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he” (New King James Version, Proverbs 23:7). As this verse says my faith journey and worldview is a trip through the inner recesses of my heart and being. Gilkey wrote, “Whether he wishes it or not, man as a free creature must pattern his life according to some chosen ultimate end, must center his life on some chosen ultimate loyalty, and must commit his security to some trusted power. Man inevitably roots his life in something ultimate” (229). For me, the ultimate is in ...

Implications of an Ethical Issue-Abortion

Introduction In one’s day to day life, decisions are made. These can be minor decisions like what to wear or major decision that has an impact on their life and that of others. When making these decisions people base their answers on a variety of understandings. Some of the basis of decisions includes morality or ethics from a Christian perspective. These two bases guide one in what is right and what is wrong using principles and beliefs previously formed. Abortion is one critical decision that can be supported and condemned using moral and ethical set standards.

Domestic Violence

“Domestic violence” can be defined as “the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and other systematic behavior [designed] to be part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another.” It is a contagion impacting people in every community regardless of social station in life, age, gender, racial background, nationality, or religious pursuit. This action is commonly followed by psychological abuse and extreme domineering dispositions against the other partner; however, this is only a fraction of the structured pattern designed to force and domination over the other. Ultimately, the action of domestic brutality can ...

Culturally Sensitive Counseling of Asian Americans

Abstract Culturally sensitive counseling is integral especially in a multicultural and multilingual society such as the United States. Scholars and researchers alike have been trying to identify the reasons for the underutilization of psychological services and premature discontinuation of therapy among ethnic groups in the U.S., particularly Asian Americans, and one of the major reasons they found out is the lack of available Asian American counselors and culturally sensitive mental health providers and staffs. This paper therefore explores these issues and provides an explanation of the importance of culturally sensitive counseling. The analysis focuses on the common psychological issues ...

Patients with bulimic symptoms suffer from an uncontrollable urge to consume a large quantity of food. Immoderate food intake leads to vomiting and excessive use of laxatives (Rushing et al., 2003).

The Summit on Community Resilience, Intervention, Prevention, and Training (SCRIPT) conference took place between July 16th and 17th 2015 at the California Endowment Center (Los Angeles, CA). The purpose of SCRIPT was to raise community awareness regarding male survivors of violence and abuse by presenting a variety of topics, including sexual abuse, domestic violence, community crisis interventions, hostage negotiation, bullying, survivor advocacy, and several others. I attended several interesting presentations at the SCRIPT conference that enhanced my understanding of forensic psychology in general, as well as the understanding of sex offenders and potential strategies to increase their chances of ...

One of the most difficult aspects of modern society is how can law enforcement and the criminal justice system do to protect the public, punish the wrong-doers and make certain that those punishments are appropriate in severity for the crime committed. Issues of justice and ethics within the criminal justice system continue to be fought on a daily basis. Of course the ideal situation is, when a crime is committed the perpetrator is identified, arrested, they confess to the crime they committed, they have a trial, where his or her guilt is not doubted, they do their “time,” and we all move ...

Psychological, Social, and Moral Development of the Infant and Preschool Child

Both Jean Piaget and Erik Erikson emphasized that the children develop in the predetermined order. Specifically, the Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial development consists of distinct stages with possible results in every stage. The theory explains the successful completion in every stage that results to a healthy personality and interaction with others. In contrast, the failure to complete successfully leads to a reduced capability to complete the other stages resulting to more unhealthy personality and interaction with others. Additionally, Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development applies the different genders and cultures.

A1. A negative perception of Thomas Randall and his friends may have shaped Helen Brook’s perceptual lens. She lives downstairs from the defendant and they continually bother her with her parties; she says they “tend to be noisy and keep late hours”. The day of the incident, they were having one of these parties and she alleges the ceiling was shaking, not allowing her to rest. All of this may lower her credibility, as her perception is obviously not objective. She might have resentment from past disputes, as well as differing with her neighbors about how to ...

After reading Boubacar Boris Diop’s novel Murambi, The Book of Bones I have come closer to understanding the extent of the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. Initially I had some hesitations on the nature and truthfulness of the issues that the author would reveal since he is not Rwandese or was not a victim of the Genocide. Diop is a Senegalese journalist and novelist. However, a reading of his book confirms of it as a witness to the genocide. The book has ingrained in me the extent of brutality of the genocide. I can visualize the deep emotional scars left in the hearts ...
