My first visit to Daybreak consisted mostly of learning about the facility and helping the girls work on their team building projects. When we first arrived, I begin to realize how serious the situation these girls are in is. I was told to put a lock on my phone and to not share too much information about myself. At first I was extremely nervous, but once we entered the common room with all the girls I started to feel more comfortable. These girls have been through more then I could ever imagine. I have been sheltered from drug abuse for most of my life and I never could have thought that girls so young could get caught up in hard drugs such as crack and heroin.
Unlike Dimmesdale, Hester accepts her sins, and therefore thrives and becomes a contributing member in her Puritan community√. Since she wears the scarlet letter, Hester initially faces judgement from most of the members in her community, but eventually, she helps benefit her society. After a few years, Hester walks around the town, and townspeople remark, “‘do you see that woman with the embroidered badge?’… ‘It is our Hester, - the town’s own Hester, - who is so kind to the poor, so helpful to the sick, so comfortable to the afflicted!’”(134-135). In this case, she sacrifices her dignity by wearing the scarlet letter, and she helps the “poor,” “sick,” and “afflicted” people in her town. Also, since Hester accepts her penance, she flourishes
The criminal trial process is an interesting process that takes place in Courtrooms all across the United States and throughout the globe. This study intends to set out the various steps in the criminal trial process in the American justice system. A trial is described as a "legal forum for resolving individual disputes, and in the case of a criminal charge, it is a means for establishing whether an accused person is legally guilty of an offense. The trial process varies with respect to whether the matter at issue is civil in nature or criminal. In either case, a jury acts as a fact-finding body for the court in assessing information and evidence that is presented by the respective parties in a case. A judge presides over the court and addresses all the legal issues that arise during the trial. A judge also instructs the jury how to apply the facts to the laws that will govern in a given case."

"All mental states and events are in fact physical states and events." quoted by Carruthers. All humans being has thoughts and emotions which happens in mind; The mind is divided into two parts: soul and brain, which is substance dualism, and brain alone which is materialism; believe in matter. Some people believe that they don't have soul and it’s all superstition. In your life you think about lots of people, some you hate and some you love. If you thought of someone who you missed then you called them; This will clarify that thinking is thoughts and emotions as the reaction calling is physical events. Thoughts and emotions have the ability to cause physical events, therefore, physical events have purely physical causes, the conclusion is thoughts and emotions - happens in mind- are purely physical. If thoughts and emotions are purely physical, then the soul doesn't exist.

There is a great injustice in putting a man in prison to rot; not giving him a purpose or letting him use his skills. So easily, he will lose his courage and ability to hold onto his integrity and humanity. So quickly, he will lose himself. Holding onto one’s humanity is a skill that takes constant practice and the conscious decision to do so. It takes great courage to cling to one’s humanity when he is faced with trying and troublesome situations. At points, one’s integrity might be compromised but if he has grit he can hold onto his humanity all the same. Director Frank Darabont uses the film, the Shawshank Redemption, to prove that the ability to hold onto one’s humanity is a practice that is nurtured and developed through acts of valor.
