Birth of a Nation uses its histrionic plot to show how tangled destinies of a southern and northern family before and after the Civil War. It willingly portrays southern blacks as spiteful and uncivil, the northern whites as crafty, dishonest, and conceited, and the film’s southern whites as anguish recurrent radical and erotic mortifications at the hands of white northerners and black southerners before factually being saved by the thoughtful, Ku Klux Klan. The film is divided to show the different aspects of those two sides during this historical time. During this time Africans were coming to America and it started the reconstruction on our country. D.W. Griffith made this film to show us the reality of racism at this point in time.

The Birth of a Nation, arguably one of the most ambiguous names in the history of cinema, is only about to get more complex and chaotic. The Birth of a Nation was originally the title of D.W. Griffith’s 1915 racist propaganda film about the rise of the Ku Klux Klan who “saved” the South from being dictated by blacks during the Reconstruction era when the North tried to rebuild the South after the Civil War. Now, that title poises a new movie written, directed, produced, and starring actor Nate Parker that dramatizes the 1831 slave rebellion led by enslaved African-American Nat Turner.

The Birth of a Nation is a dramatized biopic of Nat Turner who led the slaves of Virginia into a rebellion known as Nat Turner’s Rebellion in 1831. The movie opens with Nat Turner’s father running away from the plantation after being caught by slave catchers gathering food for his family outside of the premise. The slave catchers come to the plantation and berate the Turner family regarding the whereabouts of the man, yet no one folds to reveal he has run away. Moments later in the film, the white plantation owners discover that Nat can read. They take him into their household to further develop his literary skills, and he begins to learn how to preach. The head of the plantation passes away, and Nat Turner is forced back into the reality of slavery as he gets put in the cotton fields. With rumors of insurrection flying around town and the plantation revenue declining, Nat Turner is hired out by his financially unstable master

Nat Turner was a slave who used his failed troop in 1831 at Southampton virginia. That attempt leads to an incident which became a justification of civil war. He was born on a small plantation in virginia, owned by a slaveholder Benjamin Turner. Nat’s mother was born in Africa captured by the colonial masters, and shipped to the United State as a slave. She taught her son to hate slavery because she felt death is better than slavery. His master’s son taught Turner to understand how to read and speak English. He grew up to be a clergyman and served as a preacher to the slave surrounding him.

Approximately 240,000 brutal rapes occur in our prison systems each year (Lozoff). Most of the victims are young, nonviolent male inmates, many of them teenaged first offenders. They are traumatized beyond imagination. Most of these inmates are nonviolent criminals who cannot or will not defend themselves. Unfortunately, this results in many of those nonviolent offenders turning violent by the time they leave prison.

Gordon Hayward. Wow, Amazing, Great and how. How does he do it. He is an awesome player. I love the way he plays. I just would love to spend a day with him. He is an awesome player and person. I would just ask him to tell me how he got so good and in shape.

So even if the court or a jury look at an attacker’s past and see’s he was a star athlete with many friends leading them to lessen the punishment. If they committed sexual assault and get away with it they most likely will attempt and probably succeed at doing it again. The problem Krakauer had with the court system isn’t just that they are not punishing an offender properly of a heinous crime. They are enabling them them to do it again, giving them the chance to ruin another person's life. If looked at, the effects of a sexual assault show why the rapist should serve a life sentence. The victims in this story revealed they were condemned to a life sentence the second they were taken advantage of in that way. While so many will say that rape should be punished the most severely as possible, Krakauer's book revealed the minute it came down to giving a sentence, jurors and judges, and even prosecutors had been and are lenient and soft in their convictions. While many government officials and police in Missoula have tried to change for the better after this scandal came to light, an even bigger one came to the surface from Krakauer's research. Missoula isn’t even near being the pronounced rape capital of the US. It’s even reported that it has a lower rate of reported sexual assaults than many towns it’s size and demographic. In the book Krakauer reported that between January 2008-May 20012 in a

Sex offenders have been a serious problem for our legal system at all levels, not to mention those who have been their victims. There are 43,000 inmates in prison for sexual offenses while each year in this country over 510,000 children are sexually assaulted(Oakes 99). The latter statistic, in its context, does not convey the severity of the situation. Each year 510,000 children have their childhood's destroyed, possibly on more than one occasion, and are faced with dealing with the assault for the rest of their lives. Sadly, many of those assaults are perpetrated by people who have already been through the correctional system only to victimize again. Sex offenders, as a class of criminals, are nine times more likely to repeat their

Advisor met with the client and brothers Elbert Parker (POA) and John Parker. Overall, from the meeting advisor saw several red flags he deemed as suspicious, he felt that Elbert Parker (POA) and John Parker, her brothers are trying to take advantage of Kate when she passes away by changing the beneficiary to themselves. With changing the beneficiary to Elbert & John they would each receive 50% of her 6915016 account. He felt John was nervous in talking to the advisor while Elbert was confident and directed Kate several times on how to fill out the change of beneficiary forms.

The American justice system has created laws that are meant to help individuals in protecting rights and freedom, but in many violent cases, victims are not helped, and society as a whole is not benefited by these laws. On sexual assaults, there are statutes of limitations that give a time restriction on how long a victim has to come forward about the crime. Statutes of limitations are non-beneficial to any victims that have experienced a sexual assault in any of the 34 states that have statutes (Smith). Statutes of limitations do not give victims the time they deserve to heal, but worse, leave offenders free because of a time limit and has created a society that justifies rape. On the other hand, after many years after the crime, it may be

One of the philosophies not commonly used with sexual assault crimes is incapacitation. Although a perpetrator is placed in prison, rehabilitation immediately occurs. As for incapacitation, it does not require any assumptions about the criminal’s rationalism or “root causes” of the criminal’s behavior. Having the perpetrator incarcerated is beneficial because the physical restraint of incarceration prevents the commission of further crimes against society during the duration of the sentence. Reducing crimes is the most important factor is setting punishments (Muhlhausen, 2010). The problem is that sexual assault is one of the hardest crimes to prove. There are many factors that come in play such as the victim’s behavior, evidence and how it was handled by law enforcement. However, it the process goes through, then incapacitation will be able to reduce the problem.

When someone commits a crime, we expect them to receive punishment and for the victims to receive justice. That is not always the case with female sex abusers, who are ignored or disregarded. John L. Smith reports in his Las Vegas Newspaper article, Justice doesn 't always cut through gender bias, sexuality, the case of two former teachers; Mary Kay LeTourneau and Jack David Patton. LeTourneau was a grade school teacher, until she was exposed for being involved in a sexual relationship with her 13-year-old student. In a similar situation, Patton, also a former teacher. He was sexually involved with two of his high school students. LeTourneau faced a sentence up to seven years for her crime, while Patton faced up to 65 years. Was LeTourneau just a mentally ill woman who longed for love or simply a perverse abuser, who violated the trust she held? Should she have served a longer sentence for a crime with a younger student? I believe that women should be tried just as harsh as men for sexual abuse crimes in the court system. Women are just as dangerous as men, if not more and that victims of sexual abuse suffer terribly from their abuses.

Rape is a crime that is committed when someone is forced to have sexual intercourse through physical force or duress. “683,000 rapes occur every year” (CVS) and the national average for people accused of rape is eight years in a federal prison. Rape is a serious crime as well as other crimes but rape is considered to be a more serious and heinous crime along with murder etc. There are also different phases of rape that the victim may go through depending on how they handle it. Eight years in prison is not a good amount of time for someone to serve for what they did, all of the things that involve the process of rape should be incorporated into the sentence: force, against someone’s will, and most importantly the physical and emotional
