The Aboriginal community of Australia has been subjected to a life of undeserving hatred and constant racism. And these two texts show that not much has changed for the Australian community to prevent and slow down the amount of racism towards the native Australian people. The first text, ‘Stolen Car’, is a short story set in Perth, written by Archie Weller, where the life of a native Aboriginal is just constant fear of the white Europeans and police. The protagonist Johnny is an 18 year old Aboriginal, who has come to Perth to ‘enjoy himself, then go home’. Little does he know he will be alienated by the harsh life of being an indigenous Australian in Perth.
Businesses that handle personal information, such as credit card/sales receipts, and payroll records, have a legal obligation to keep your information secure. It's the law.

Some of this information may end up in a public dumpster, becoming accessible to criminals. Dumpster Diving is NOT a crime. Anything deposited in a dumpster is readily and legally available to anyone. The safest way to control confidential information is to make sure it is securely collected and destroyed. If your company is involved with any litigation, it is important to demonstrate that your company
Mr. White (White) is claiming false imprisonment by store security. On September 18, 2017, at 1:45 pm, White approached the checkout lane looking nervously from side to side when Ron Johnston (Johnston), Chief of Security, first noticed him. White was pushing a full cart with an Xbox One S on top extremely fast past the cash register toward the entrance as well as the restrooms according to the floor plan. Johnson worried that he was shoplifting yelled for him to stop, but White instead continued even faster. Johnston ran and intercepted him near the entrance to the restroom and told White he was being detained for shoplifting. White said “I haven’t done anything wrong! I just need to go!” Johnston asked him if he had a receipt for the items in the cart.

It is a beautiful, sunny day in Miami, Florida. The birds are chirping, and the fresh ocean breeze is rustling the leaves. Steve Weston is trying to make the most out of this hot, summer day. He spots a moving truck outside his window. A young girl with dark hair and bright yellow glasses and what appears to be her father get out of the truck and go into the house next door. Steve was not expecting new neighbors so soon. All of the sudden, Steve hears loud banging noises, one after the other after the other. To others that is the sound of a nail gun going off, but to him that is the sound of the bullets firing from an M240 machine gun. He is transported to the battlefield where he lost his best friend and wife, Caroline Jones. After Steve came

Larceny is defined as the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another from his or her possession with intent to convert them to the takers own use. To bluntly say it, larceny is stealing from others. No matter what the motives or reasons behind stealing are, it is still wrong. I imagine there is a multitude of motives for someone to convince himself or herself that it is worth the risk to steal something. Some other people might also not have the conscience to feel wrong for stealing. A large part of this is because people do not understand who or what they are harming when they steal. It is very common to become self-indulged and only worry about your problems. Even after being caught someone might only feel
	Another fine example of neorealism is The Bicycle Thief (1948), written by Cesare Zavattini and directed by Vittorio De Sica. The narrative of this film unfolds in post-W.W.II times. The film is a portrait of the post-war Italian disadvantaged class (the majority) in their search for self-respect. It is a time of struggle for the Italian people, amplified by a shortage of employment and lack of social services. In the first scenes of the film, these conditions are evident as Antonio Ricci (Lamberto Maggiorami) meets his spouse Maria (Lianalla Carell) on his way back home. We see the "men" arguing at the employment "office" as the "women" argue about the shortage of water. Although the director's
In the past few weeks, we have been reading the book, the Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The book tells the story of Liesel Meminger, a girl from Germany in the time of the Holocaust. The book starts with her as a nine year old, and progresses through her life until she is an old lady. The story details the life of this woman through these times. And in the story, her priorities are reading and learning. She steals books like The Grave Digger’s Handbook and The Shoulder Shrug, but one book which has negative influence was the book made by the Nazi Leader, Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (My Struggle). Hitler wrote the autobiographical book, which was spread around the Germans, who were brainwashed by the propaganda. The Mein Kampf influenced these citizens, but was the influence good? The book created nothing but negativity. There are three examples which are strong showings to prove the influence of the Führer caused nothing but hatred. Those three are Hans Junior, Max, and the entire population of the Jews. Those three personas were effected in a way which caused nothing but hurt to people.
We are faced with two considerations when discussing the dilemma of a father stealing a loaf of bread to feed his hungry family. The first consideration is whether this act is ethically wrong and the other consideration here is the way the society views stealing within the context of law. Morality is concerned with the relationship that exists between people and how, ultimately they can best live in peace and harmony. The goal of morality is to protect a high quality of life for an individual or for the community as a whole. (Purtilo & Doherty, 2011). Both ethics and law are not compatible most of the time. While the act of stealing is considered illegal with the context of law but ethically, he was trying to feed his hungry family.
