Discipline Investigation

With all the jobs out there in the world, how does anyone decide what they want to do with their lives? Most of the time this is the first question young people ask themselves when they are trying to figure out what they want to major in at college. This question caused me a lot of confusion about my possible future career. The career I finally choose, like many other young adults, was law enforcement, to be a police officer. In the following paragraphs, I will describe the reasons for my choice, along with the effects that my education and training have on my goal of becoming a police officer.

With all of that being said, I am pursuing a Criminal Justice Major. However, this isn’t because I’ll be making extravagant money and be able to throw outrageous parties on yachts. No, it’s not like that at all. But, it will provide a secure income to provide for my future family. Yet, that’s still not the complete reason that I have chosen this major. I chose this major because for my entire 19 years of life I have loved helping anyone and everyone. I see people struggling everyday with all different aspects of life. Whether its money problems, they’re being harassed, they have problems with drugs, or anything else; I am always trying my hardest to turn their life around and just please them.

At the table I learned that students interested in the Criminal Justice field have to take the intro class and also a few psychology classes such as the intro class and the Psych and Law class. Additionally, I learned that there are very interesting jobs for graduates in the Criminal Justice major from working in local law enforcement all the

William Jennings Bryan once says, “Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.” Our future is depended on what we choose to be and how to get to it. We must stand up and get involve or communicate with the field before giving an ultimate decision. In this assignment, I will investigate the discourse community that I hope to join professionally and understand the broad view of the types of work along with its opportunities.

This article “Students of Success” written by Lynn Cheney was very well written. Cheney’s point in this article is that students in liberal arts shouldn’t be over looked in the world of business. She explains that students in liberal arts have the opportunity to become anywhere from Management to the next president of the united states. People should understand that its not the field you major in but it’s the way you use your major. Cheney states that students who follow their hearts in choosing majors will mostly end up laboring at what they love.

I choose to attend Bryant University because I knew of their strong focus on business majors and their strong networking reach with potential employers for their students.

A presumptive is a test that is used to establish what type of body tissue or fluid is present at a crime scene. Therefore, it can be used to find serology evidence which consist of blood, semen or saliva. Furthermore, it can narrow down the possibilities of who was on the scene as well as what test is needed. It can also cover a large area; find evidence that is not visible to the naked eye because it could be blood, semen or saliva. Therefore, when it comes to testing blood at a crime scene there are three different test that can be used to test it such as a phenolphthalein test, luminol test and alternate light sources. Now a phenolphthalein test also known as the Kastle Meyer test can be used at a scene to test for blood because if there is blood present it will react to the heme molecules in the blood and give off a pink color. A luminol test is used to get a reaction by using a light that results in the finding of oxidizing agents such as blood by catalyzing the oxidation by using hydrogen peroxide in a basic solution. However, this test has been known to give false results because of other chemical presents. The next one is alternative light which is the use of an ultraviolet light in order to make whatever fluid that is present
