“Go often to the house of a friend, for weeds soon choke up the unused path” is a Swedish proverb. This proverb means that one should make an effort to check up on their friends and always try. All people know they must talk to their friends to keep them. Or, try and help out to keep something working. Not much is known about the origin of this proverb even though it is popular. It is important to live by “go often to the house of a friend; for weeds soon choke up the unused path” which can be shown through Kitty Kallen, Beryl Grey, 11 Birthdays, and the United Way drive.

The manager will need to ensure that they have the correct level of rapport with their employee. Too familiar in nature may be misconstrued as forward and harassing in the wrong context. However no personal rapport whatsoever may provide the receiver of the information with the impression that the sender of the information is just not interested. A fine line must be weighed up for each individual. When a good rapport has been achieved, then the person will uncritically accept suggestion or advice which they are given.

There are many characteristics for online learners. My characteristics are scared, overwhelmed, and excited all in the same breath. However there are three main characteristics found in every person, entry characteristics, participation behaviors, and course outcomes.

For centuries capital punishment has been used to “punish” criminals for a severe enough crime that they committed. It dates back to hundreds of years ago and has been enacted in many different countries, some that still have it today. Death penalty/capital punishment is the punishment of death an offender receives after having a court hearing and being convicted of a crime (ProCon.org, 2008). Once someone receives a death penalty sentence, they go on death row awaiting their execution. For a very long time, the controversy regarding whether or not the death penalty is ethical or just has been a topic of debate. I believe that the

In the end, life is too precious to stare at 5 or 50 inch screen, to create, to do, to see, to feel, to learn. Ray Bradbury illustrates this and tries to spread this in a form of a warning to Americans. To make Americans think about the distractions and what humans are fully capable of. whether, the distraction comes from technology, the media, and even people. Humans themselves control their own lives, nobody should dictate, censor and prevent individual thought, It is only up to the person to realize this.

Good point. It could be a difficult transition when the inmates are released back to society. A few prisoners are released from jail and only have their clothes, a bus ticket and less than 200 dollars.

Prisoner reentry is an issue that has been ongoing for years. Prisoners are excepted to become law abiding citizens after spending years away from society. Employment opportunities for ex-prisoners are scarce and few. Without employment, ex-prisoners can face many issues financially, and even with their parole officers. If ex-prisoners could find employment, then the rate of recidivism would greatly decrease. Not having a means of living causes a huge impact on ex-prisoners and how they live their lives. Employers do have their reasons for not wanting to hire people with criminal backgrounds. This may be because they do not want to put their business at risk or because they just do not want to have to worry about what someone with a criminal history may or may not do. Education is also an issue when it comes to employment and many prisoners do not have high school diplomas, let alone any college education. There need to be more programs set in place to help prisoners find employment when they are released to benefit not only themselves but the entire community.

The fact is that these families suffer greatly from this, and they start to have financial problems that leads to poverty. Then not just the convict has to live off the government but also their families since they get help from the government. Penalties need to lesson and they need to implement a three strike rules with fines rather than with jail time. Not just that but also the mental stress that ex convicts face.

Most of the world believe it`s the companies that do not want criminals to work, but behind close doors it`s the EEOC. The EEOC would stop criminals from re-ingrate back into the work force. “ Adverse effect of a practice or standard that is neutral and non-discriminatory in its intention, but nonetheless, disproportionately affects individuals having a disability or belonging to a particular group based on their age, ethnicity, race, or sex”(EEOC Theory). Even when the prisoners are put its very hard for them to find jobs based on their

Punishment is an element of a proper policy against juvenile crime. Juvenile criminals must suffer some consequence for their criminal action. To let them go without punishment, would encourage criminality and discourage responsibility, but just throwing juveniles in a detention facility until they are 18 or before is most likely not going to have much influence just by itself. They need a combination of supportive counseling, psychiatric assessment, vocational training, and educational support. Essential care that they are missing from home is important. They also need to be challenged regarding their present path in life, like gangs, drugs etc. Counselors can provide therapeutic interventions in which the juveniles may learn to create more

When it comes to crimes that were committed whether minor or severe, the United States' policies on punishment has always been up for debate. Many individuals believed that certain punishments upon offenders were fair and just, while others believed they were alternative methods to rehabilitate wrongdoers. While I believe criminals should receive some sort of penalty that matches the severity of the crime they committed, I also feel there should be other options offered in the deterrence of criminal activity.

Michael Tonry’s Thinking about Crime: Sense and Sensibility in American Penal Culture suggests that the crime rate trends do not shift because of harsher punishment, but due to periodical changes in society. He states that harsh punishments like truth in sentencing and three-strike laws do not decrease crime because the states that have these programs have similar crime rates to those that do not have them (Tonry, 2004, page 119). Therefore these programs are not the solution to preventing future crime. An increase in arrests, incarcerations and sentences does not benefit the country or the criminal justice system. It overwhelms the system, which leads to an increase in prison facilities to house these more criminals.

Over the years more and more teens are being tried as adults for crimes they commit. Are the punishments really necessary or is it going to
