The question of what will befall humanity should the world as it is known ever end is one that offers many different answers. As ...

- What was your favorite film viewed in the class this semester and why?

I would mark out Reservoir Dog by Quentin Tarantino as my favorite because I am a worshiper of his creative activity. I liked it because once one had seen it he would never forget the scenes.

I believe that the film leaves no one indifferent due to black humor used and Tarantino’s unique narrative style. Also, particular attention should be paid to social context of the film meaning the relationships between black ...

The combination of all these musical elements make the listener, especially one who was young in 1968 (when the song was ...

In positing a learning theory of deviance, Edwin Sutherland’s differential association theory obtains that criminal behavior or deviance is learned or attained through interaction with deviant people, in a process of communication. It is through such interaction that a person learns the methods of committing crime and the validation, motives, and attitude for such behavior (Sutherland et. al., 1992). The level of learning depends on the incidence and extent of the association. Ideally Sutherland argues that just like other learned behavior such as reading or painting, criminal behavior too may be learned (Sigel, 2011). It is through the process of ...

The labeling theory argues that some people become the labels that people give them, and therefore it is good to be careful with the labels that we give to others – ...
