For this paper I will be talking about the process of setting up the debate and the topic of the debate. This was a new concept for me and I found it to be very interesting. When I registered for this class I didn’t think we’d be doing such debate oriented things and I have to say it was a great learning experience. Thinking back on it, I probably should have joined the weed debate. I chose to go with police violence because I feel very strongly on the topic and have a strong appreciation for the
somehow white people write it off as black people’s fault. That black people are to blame for being different than the white default that they love so much. “In all of the fifty suspected or actual slave revolts reported in newspapers during the American colonial era, resisting Africans were nearly always cast as violent criminals, not people reacting to enslavers’ regular brutality, or pressing for the most basic human freedom.” (Kendi, 69). Anything that went wrong was put Muñoz 5 down as the
against blacks? Also, I will be exploring if stereotypes are related to racial profiling, if the media affects racism, and if racism is still present in the 21st century, in particularly, since President Barack Obama got elected as the United States first black president in 2008. This topic’s inspiration came about after reading Sojourner Truth’s speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” and after watching the famous, or at times, infamous Fox News program, Bill O’Riley. On this particular program, O’Riley and Martin
majority or minority status. I had nine responses, three identifying as minority status, five as majority status, and one student who was not sure, since he/she/they fell into multiple target groups but reported that she didn’t experience any discrimination. There were some interesting discrepancies, since one female student reported that she was a minority, and another reportedly felt she was in the majority. At RIT, the distribution of gender differs by program, so this could be a reason why this discrepancy
physical assault each year (Domestic Violence Facts, 2007). This estimated number is just the instances of abuse that are reported by women to police each year. Many women do not report domestic violence to the police out of fear for many different reasons such as fear of being killed, increased violence, losing their children, not being financially stable, or not aware that there are resources available to them. Violence affects everyone regardless of race, socioeconomic status, background, and education
Before we can discuss what serial killers do, we must first define what a serial killer is. Some people might place serial killers into the same group as mass murderers. This would be incorrect because they are two totally different types of killers. While both of these individuals may kill many people, the difference lies in the reason they kill and the period over which they kill their victims. An event or a build up of circumstance triggers mass murderers and causes them to act. This may
there are many careers, which require a dedication to doing the right thing, it is undeniable that there is a tremendous degree of responsibility and expectations placed on the police officer. While most professions allow for careful thought and planning, a police officer is often thrust into a situation with little advanced intelligence about what is occurring. Often an officer is involved in a situation which has the potential to turn violent. Relying on training allows the officer to successfully
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE Violent crimes in America have unfortunately become a common event that takes place in our society today. The most common cause has always pointed to gun control, however there is new evidence that proves it is not guns; it is the misuse of psychiatric drugs. The effects of these drugs and the misuse and misadministration of these drugs has led to a social and criminal justice issue in the United States and it needs to be addressed
Kay Clark TDA2.2 – 1.1 – Identify the current legislation, guidelines, policies and procedures for safeguarding the welfare of children and young people, including e-safety. Within my workplace I am aware of the statutory and regulatory health and safety requirements for pupils, staff, families and visitors in the school.
