“Innocent until proven guilty.” The entire basis of the criminal justice system is to prosecute those who commit crimes and to validate every piece of evidence before prosecuting a suspect. It can be difficult for law enforcement to be precise and procedural in their quest for arresting and convicting a criminal as public outrage and pressure can affect the process of arrest and conviction. However, in other instances, the errors of law enforcement officials are not always due to outside forces or

importance of branding and its role in forging the convergence of consumer preferences on a global scale. Think of Coca-Cola, Starbucks, McDonald’s, or Google. More than 20 years later, in 2005, Thomas Friedman, author of The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century, had much the same idea, this time focused on the globalization of production rather than of markets.

The World Trade Organization is an intergovernmental organization that is mandated with the responsibility of regulating international trade. Each country in the world is considered to be endowed with limited resources that make it impossible for these countries to produce each and every good and service that they deem essential for their citizens’ consumption. It is on the basis of different and limited resource endowment that countries embark on the process of trading amongst themselves so as to

“The first and most notable of that series of duodecimos which have been read and discussed on almost every cultured language, and which within the lifetime of their author have changed the face and in some respect, the character of natural history, ---- indeed have almost as deeply affected many other lines of investigation and thought.” This is describing the effect of the publication of just the first volume of what entirely would be known as On the Origin of Species. Darwin was pushed to

However, these marron communities differ strongly from the communities in Brazil. Due to the Spanish conquest, Haiti, Saint Domingue at the time, was depleted of its indigenous populations. Courlander speaks about how Spaniards wipeout the Taino population (3). Many Tainos either died under the conditions of the Spanish rule or

Deforestation is the removal of a forest where the land is converted to a non-forest use; such as farms, ranches, or urban use. I will inform you of the history, effects, disadvantages, and what can be done about deforestation. Deforestation dates back to the late 1960s when Brazil began to cut down forests at an alarming rate. According to Schwartzman, S. (2013) Brazil has cleared 18 percent of the original Amazon - an area the size of France. In 2005 Brazil’s deforestation rate began to fall, which is good

how these causes are acted on. Finally, I will detail the repercussions of these actions, and what Brazil can do (and to some degree has done) to solve this issue. To understand how corruption occurs and what is effects are, the underlying causes of corruption must be understood first. Both systematic factors as well as traditional and societal expectations have made corruption possible in Brazil. Why politicians can and do abuse their power can give much needed insight in understanding the most

The late 1800s through the early 1900s was a time in history where migration from across the Atlantic was booming. This was a period where there was little, if any, government restriction about migration and there was new innovative technology making travel faster, easier, and cheaper than it has ever been before. In his book “Crossings: The Great Transatlantic Migrations” Nugent tells more than the American story of transatlantic migration. He compares different groups of people who travelled to
