Introduction

Although rape and sexual assault are serious offenses, public discourse about these issues fail to clearly address the problems that victims go through even after these atrocious acts were committed against them. In reality, despite public acceptance of rape and sexual abuse as crime and the mandate for the punishment of those that commit these acts, the overall public response to these crimes are underwhelming to the point of bringing about detrimental impact on the life of victims. On one hand, we have a system that fails to prevent rape and sexual abuse and protect people and victims alike Continue reading...

In that piece, as well, Stravinsky took liberties with his writing and the plot of the story. However, the liberties taken in the music for The Rite of Spring were far greater and more surprising than past compositions by him, or any other mainstream composer of the time. Coupled with the unusual choreography by Nijinsky, the event was understandably shocking to an audience unaccustomed to Continue reading...

The white privilege

In several situations, people have found or felt that they were inferior to other people contrary to the reality. As a result, they have felt discriminated by such people.

In simple terms, the idea of such people feeling they have such advantages over others is what constitutes privilege. In his study, Johnson (2001) describes a privilege as what allows people to assume a certain level of acceptance, inclusion and respect, therefore, operating in a relatively wide comfort Continue reading...

Criminal Law

The legislation’s development of a certain country is bound up with the development of its national system and society order. The legal system in the United States closely follows the national system of government. Every state along with its government’s order has a State Constitution which in some cases dissents from the Constitution of the United States and gives grounds for additional, unnecessary and expensive trials. Such is the case Griffin v. California (1965) in which the difference between the two Constitutions (Federal and Californian) caused an additional trial of the Supreme Court of the United States Continue reading...
