What if you were sentenced to die in 30 days, would you have the courage to live knowing that each day means one day less of your living?

Would you feel guilty if your hurt someone while going through all this abuses in your life?

Concussions have plagued NFL ever since football was invented. There have been 29 concussions in 2015 and the number may continue to grow. Munro Cullum, a professor of psychiatry and neurology at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and his colleagues reported that having a concussion can have long lasting effects. 28 former football players were studied and 8 of those were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment; they had some deficits in memory. While having the best equipments can increase the amount of damage sustained, there will always be a chance of concussion because brain floats in the cerebrospinal fluid in our skull and when there’s an impact, the brain hits the skull causing cell damage. Best way to tackle this is to
If it were something that would save others, yes I would die. I am a firm believer on if it is supposed to happen it will happen. If I was supposed to give up my life, to save somebody else or something that could change an outcome than so be it. I could die at martyr because as long as I know I am innocent and god knows as well I will be content. A personal life experience that would relate to the themes in this book would have to be the time where I had to choose my integrity over my reputation with my family. Integrity is the way you perceive yourself, not how others perceive you. It's the way you carry yourself and the goodness in your heart to hold a good name. My dad is an addict and that is a story I’d rather not share, but it’s a personal experience where I had to choose my integrity over my reputation with my family. If you know me, family is everything to me. When my dad came out as an addict, my family had the motto of “we are going to go through this together and not leave him behind.” I didn't want to be apart of that, it was my dad. I had to choose my integrity and my goodness to not be associated with enabling an addiction that needed to end. It hurt my reputation with my family, but I think I was okay because I knew I was doing the right
Imagine walking for 162 miles non stop everyday and, if you stopped or fell you would be killed. If you tried to escape you were either killed or in the case of my friend Albert Cleary, you would be tied to a log and beat, urinated on, and not fed for days on end. But my story is a little different. This started when I was 16, my dad and older brother died in war my mom had died giving birth 16 years ago. I was on my own

“Sonny’s Blues”, by James Baldwin, centers on a man, his life, and his relationship with his brother Sonny. In Harlem, growing up with a life of filth, the man(narrator) and his brother grow up with innumerable opportunities to dilapidate their lives and careen down the conventional road. The man was fortunate; he joined the army, got married, and became a teacher in downtown Harlem. However, for his brother Sonny, things turned out differently. As a teen, Sonny struggled to live in Harlem and to find himself, but, unable to escape Harlem, was drawn into a life of drugs and jazz music to subsist with his prevailing blues.

Plus there are people that have a terminal illness that does not want to suffer eve though they know they will die a painful and agonizing death. Plus people will commit suicide anyway and they will suffer instead of having loved ones around and not dying in pain

GUILT is an emotion one gets when he/she believes or discovers that he/she did a wrong deed and valuated his/her standard social, moral or penal code ( Chaplin, 1975). The intensity of guilt varies from one person to another. When some individuals survive a horrific event, they get this overwhelming feeling of guilt and blame themselves for surviving the abominable situation that others did not survive. This state of mind is a mental condition and is sometimes termed as imagined guilt. It may be found in survivors of holocausts, natural disasters, mass murder and pandemics e.g. the 9/11 Oklahoma City bombings. While this guilt might not be experienced by everyone, it a research based
Sentencing in the judicial system forced a sentencing for a definite term indicating a fixed time sentencing, which gave the defendant a fixed number of years to serve (Siegel, L. 2014). For example, the sentencing could be up to 20 years for robbery or a repeat offender could serve a 15 year term or a robbery with less violations might receive as little as 5 years (Siegel, L. 2014). Determinate sentencing actually reduced imprisonment (Siegel, L. and Bartollas, C. 2014).
People who end up in life or death situations should not feel obligated to the guilt that people think that they do not have. People should not feel guilt in places where they could have done nothing about it, and in situations where they could have done something; they should not be thinking of the what ifs and what could have been dones.
The next few themes of this article include the discussion of pain, loss of pleasure in life, and the right time to die. The carers felt responsible to prevent their loved ones from experiencing pain and suffering all of their later years of life. They stated that caring for someone they loved with dementia that was extremely unhappy with their quality of life brought up ideas of assisted suicide. They exclaimed that seeing their patient disintegrate in quality of life and in overall health that it was difficult to not consider assisted suicide. Several participants came to a conclusion that their relative was strictly waiting to die because they had suffered enough which made them want to end the pain for them.
Alternative sentencing has always been a consent debate due to the rise of corporation run prisons; many agencies argue that with our current prison system is void of human rights, promotes detrimental social impacts and the cost of imprisonment. Since the 1970's offering parole and probation options as an alternative helped reduce prison overcrowding. Lawmakers needed to develop new options for sentencing criminal offenders and enforce alternative correction programs, that would provide local courts, state departments of corrections, and state parole boards with a broad range of correctional options for offenders. When lawmakers discussed alternatives to incarceration they noted that there was a need to achieve the following goals rehabilitation,
What makes up a pyramid? 12 lines, 5 faces, 4 triangles, 1 base, and 5 vertexes and in the case of the Great Pyramids of Giza about 2.3 million stone blocks that weigh an average of 2.5 to 15 tons. That according to the time it took to build them they would have had to place and set a stone every 2 to 2 and a half minutes. To put that in perspective some weigh as much or more than an armed military cargo truck. So, imagine dragging a cargo truck with nothing but some strong rope and some other people. Now if you're like most people you can lift maybe 100 pounds. However, the average powerlifter can lift 350 to 400 pounds and that's just lift not pack around or drag across acres of land. Now how did the Egyptians build the Great Pyramid of Giza with blocks that weigh up to 15 tons with the technology they had then? It’s clearly very obtuse to think the pyramids were built by the Egyptians and the Egyptians alone. The question is, who helped them?
