Search For Justice Essay

When people say they “want justice”, what do they want? How can we achieve justice as a community?

8th grade has been a hell of a ride, I went through ups and downs, met new people, learned new things, and finally finished middle school. But along this hellish ride I encountered many challenges (and sorta solved them). I learned life lessons and had people help me along the way, I achieved goals that I set for myself. Most importantly, I learned many methods from AVID that I hope I will always use and take advantage of. Without AVID I would probably not care about my grades so much as much as I do now.

My bestest friends Megan, Allie and Kylee all were super kindhearted and cheered me on!

For my report I decided to do it on gymnastics. My report will include the history about gymnastics. I will talk about how to do gymnastics and the benefits for doing gymnastics. I will also explain how I am involved in gymnastics. In the late eighteenth-and the early nineteenth-century gymnastics began. It started in Germany. Johann Friedrich Gutsmuths and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn created gymnastics. It is different now because back then they did not have all of the things that we have now. To do gymnastics, you need lots strength and flexibility. Some of The rules for gymnastics are that on floor you have to stay inside the line so if you are doing flips on the floor when you land you must be inside the line Gymnastics is good for you because

The Justice system seeks to prevent crimes and to capture those who have committed crimes. But what are the causes of crime, maybe poverty, or greed, or is sometimes caused by the system. Is the risk worth the reward and is reward the worth risking the punishment? Power and influence is threaded deeply into the Criminal Justice System. Are all offenders caught and processed with the same demeanor and given the same punishment? The system needs to be impartial to all offenders regardless of the offender’s social position, job or yearly income. The general punishment for most crimes is incarceration in most states with a difference in duration to adjust per each crime. This is the deterrent against crime. This is what should be keeping

The competitive sport of cheerleading is not all about jumping up and down and yelling “Go team, go!”. It’s about using your strength to perform a variety of skills that form together to make a routine. These routines are performed by many teams to be judged during competitions. Practice is required to do well at competitions. In order to become a cheerleader, you need to have tumbling skills, endurance, and flexibility.

Sports are a popular pastime among all ages and types of people. People not only participate in them for fun, but also for money, physical fitness, rush of competition, and for many other personal reasons. Playing sports is especially common among young people in schools. Athletics are great and enjoyable for many reasons, but there can be a point where sports participation can go too far and become negative for children and adults. Sports specialization for young people is an increasing trend that results in sports having a negative impact on individuals and society.

Dance is a unique sport because it combines the grit and sweat of sporting events, such as track and field, with the style and extravagance of a fashion show (D.Fowler, 2000).

b) Some people think dance involves less endurance than sports like cross-country running. However, these runners exert forces in only one direction but, as Dr. McNitt-Gray said, in dance, your hands, legs, and head are exerting forces in different directions all at the same time.

In Reading, Massachusetts, one parent was beaten to death by another parent after a scuffle at a youth hockey game (Sachs). In Palin Beach, Florida, a father of a little league player was sentenced to three years in prison after taking a gun and pointing it at a coach (Gehring). In Port St. Lucie, Florida, a headline in the evening paper read, "Spectator Bites off Man's Ear at Youth Baseball Game" (Pallerino). Why would parents act in such negative ways? They are too competitive at youth athletic events.

My father have always wanted me to be an open-minded girl with different interests, and my parents tried to give me any opportunity to explore myself and find my true passion.

Some may see my life as a series of disappointments. I see my life as a path to molding my future. Since birth, I have been met by doctor's giving me disappointing, challenging, restricting news. I was born with one club foot, and severe flat feet, along with congenital hip dysplasia forcing me to crawl and walk later than normal development. As I began elementary school, I developed a love for gymnastics and pursued this path through 6th grade, only to be told again I could not continue due to now developing scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, and spondylolysis. Having to give up my love of gymnastics, and wear a hard plastic brace was disappointing and challenging, but this led me to a new love and passion to play tennis. I was able to finish

I think clearly we all have to define what we mean by “punish” and “punitive” and “significant.” These terms are subjective and Justices from different political persuasions may have differing opinions. Whether I agree with the outcome or not, it is my opinion that the dissenting Justices, Ginsberg, Breyer (both appointed by Pres. Clinton), and Stevens (appointed by Pres. Ford but known to have joined the more liberal Justices on issues) are correct, that is, the act was "ambiguous in intent and punitive in effect" and that its “retroactive application was incompatible with the Ex Post Facto Clause.” I feel as a lay person it is almost offensive for me to deem something unconstitutional – I leave that to the judicial system – but if pressed, for this particular article I just read, I would concur with Ginsberg, et al. Of course these Justices tend to be more liberal. Kennedy, however - who calls himself a libertarian but is clearly conservative, in my mind - reasoned that “the act was clearly intended as a civil, non-punitive means of identifying previous offenders for the protection of the public … and “found that the stigma, which could result from registration, did not render the act effectively punitive, since the dissemination of the registration information did not constitute the imposition of any significant affirmative disability or restraint.” So here we see that the Court felt the means to protect the public, and the lack of a “significant” affirmative

Research hypothesis: The influence of sportdance intensive training on bone mass density in competitive dancers. Background: Physical exercise benefits are well known and a for of exercise is dancing which can also bring great improvements in posture, balance as well as other functions (motor, coordination, tactile, reaction time etc.). Scientific literature regarding sportdance is extremelly poor, although there are more participants around the world than other dances like ballet, on which research has mostly been focused. World DanceSport Federation registers an increase in popularity and a great interest worldwide in this type of dance in the past years.

Studying with the company for the past weeks has given me better strengths of what intentions that I second guessed myself having. Having the opportunity to take three ballet classes throughout the residency, as well being able to their earlier works entitled Speaking Ill of the Dead and Never Be a World of Peace, gives me insights on what their company focuses on. From viewing the performance and taking classes with them, I got a broader understanding of how their technique is simplistic and continues moving in various ways. Having the chance of seeing their movement being executed from the studio to being performed on stage allows me to see how everyone has the chance to perform as one. The Robert Moses’ Kin residency helped me to clarify my primary goals to work on in ballet this semester.
