Razack begins with an explanation of the night that Ms. George was murdered. Pamela George was an Aboriginal woman and a mother of two, who occasionally prostituted herself for money. She was on the street the night she died. Two young, white, middle-class men named Steven Jummerfield and Alex Ternowetsky murdered Ms. George. These two men picked her up, drove to an isolated area, and after oral sex, each took a turn brutally beating her. They then left her for dead, “with her face in the mud” (125). The men went for something to eat following this, and eventually the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) exhausted their investigation and arrested the two. As Razack describes,“[t]he arrest of two young middle-class white men for the murder of

The Gangster Disciples are still an active group in the United States (Mallory, 2012). There are members of the group in over 35 states and 70 U.S. cities (Mallory, 2012). Nearly 20,000 members reside in the city of Chicago, where the FBI considers this group a “major organized crime group” (Mallory, 2012, p. 208). The Gangster Disciples were formed after the death of the group’s original leaders, David Barksdale (Mallory, 2012). A young man who was already a member of the group, Larry Hoover become the new leader of the Gangster Disciples because he was a person that Barksdale watched over (Mallory, 2012). After his death, the group split into the Black Disciples and the Gangster Disciples (Mallory, 2012). The group became prone to violence

In The Red Parts: An Autobiography of a Trial, Maggie Nelson, the author tells the story about her aunt who was murdered in 1969 and how her family suffers through the reopening of the case. Maggie’s aunt, Jane Mixer, was found dead, shot in the back of the head twice, strangled, and then was left unceremoniously, abandoned in a cemetery. Because of the way Jane’s murder was presented, she was thought to be part of a killing spree. During the initial investigation, the police arrested a suspect in 1970 and he was sentenced to life in prison. In 2005 however, Maggie’s family got a call from a detective explaining that he might have a new lead in Jane’s murder and that the man that they originally arrested for it, was innocent after all. He had “every reason to believe [that] this case [was] moving swiftly towards a successful conclusion” (Nelson 1).
In the 1920’s, constant objections from organizations who reprimanded alcohol led to the ratification of the 18th Amendment- the nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcohol. This authorization was thought to assist in the decrease of crime and the emptying of prisons, but rather increased consumption and deaths from other substances and poisonings. The stock market crash of 1929 was another event that occurred during this failed attempt of rehabilitation. Breweries, bar-owners, truckers, and many other jobs were lost during this time and increased the unemployment rate dramatically during the Great Depression. The utopian dream of prohibiting alcohol for the good of the people was quickly
In the convention movement Black intellectals used American political theory to their advantage. Since not being able to get together for politcal gathering, they need the conventopns to move forward any kind of political agenda for blacks. Since blacks had no part in it, it was important to show how unfair the current political system was towards blacks. Blacks used a quote from Locke stating, "government is morally obliged to serve people, namely by protecting life, liberty, and property" showing that blacks should have the same rights.
The formation of Hoodoos is unique and complicated. Its development in highly related to the erosion caused by wind, rain and the Sun (Scheidegger, 1958). The Hoodoos is formed by two parts, hard rock at the top and the sedimentary rock at the bottom. Majority of hoodoos are found in the badland topology (Scheidegger, 1958). It is because the badland topology has significantly less vegetation than other landforms, which causes less water can be held on the ground surface and more exposed to raindrop impact (Scheidegger, 1958; Tanaka, Hachinohe & Matsukura, 1996). The reduced moisture on ground will lead to higher erosion rate to rocks since moisture texture can help to increase the holding capacity of the soil (Tanaka, Hachinohe & Matsukura,
I agree that the result was inevitable, but not because of the election of 1876. I think it was inevitable because of the clearly anti-Reconstruction path that the Supreme Court was taking.

Would one feel right living in a world where if you are not perfect in a group of peoples eyes, there would be consequences? The citizens of the Waknuk community are finding themselves to be getting further away from perfection. This is important because as people try to be so perfect themselves and making everyone around them perfect, they are eliminating people who are not perfect making not anything but perfect.
Does human life matter? Is a question I’m sure many people have asked. The death of anyone shouldn’t be considered good, but there are certain people in power that were killed for a reasonable cause. One of those people that were assassinated was Yitzhak Rabin mainly because of his beliefs about the peace process between Israel and other countries in the middle east. This made Jewish extremists angry and, as a result, he was shot down by a radical Israeli as he was leaving a peace rally.

In the United States, starting salaries for teachers who have completed a four-year degree are far lower compared to many other professions, which also require a four-year degree. In most states, teachers must undergo testing and other rigorous certification requirements, but they are given the same consideration or status as beginning professionals in other areas. Although attractive incentives are offered, the compensation does not compare to the long hours of work and schooling required for a teaching career.
