Judiciary Assignment While, reading the case, Elonis v. United States, I was astonished to see that someone would post something so explicit, offensive, and inhumane. Basically, the case of Elonis v. United States is about a man named Anthony Elonis who is an upcoming rapper and used his stage name, Tone Dougie. His Facebook page consisted of him posting disturbing rap lyrics. Even though Elonis was going through a divorce with his former wife, which did not stop him from writing and posting crude

Enrique’s Journey In the book Enrique’s Journey written by Sonia Nazario, a projects reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Nazario talks about the true story of a young Honduran boy named Enrique that was abandoned at the age of 5 by his mother Lourdes. His mom left to the United States as an immigrant to work so she can be able to give her poor children a better living.

UTAH v. STRIEFF Reading over UTAH v. STRIEFF I will expound on some facts of the case that impacted some of the decision making in police administration. Narcotics detective Douglas Fackrell was surveilling a South Salt Lake City residence due to the anonymous tip on suspicious drug activity. Based on his surveillance he determined that the resident was drug dealing. Detective Fackrell saw Strieff leaving the residence. He identified and detained Strieff to answer questions about what was going

worker and her mother, Celina, worked as a telephone operator until beginning her employment as a nurse at methadone clinic. Sonia was the eldest of the two children, raised by their single mother after Juan died when Sonia was only nine years of age. Celina, worked hard to provide for her children, making it possible for Sonia to attend a Catholic school in the Bronx. Sonia did very well at Cardinal Spellman High School, graduating as her class valedictorian in 1972. Sotomayor became inspired to

with all the time we spent at the vet, I never thought to speak to a veterinarian. What did I know about job-shadowing? I now realize the importance of having real-life role-models, and someone to speak to about my goals and aspirations. It’s like Sonia Sotomayor said, “When a young person, even a gifted one, grows up without proximate living examples of what she may aspire to become, her goal remains abstract.” In those days, in my environment, my dream to become a veterinarian gradually diminished

I am incredibly excited to have learned about your internship opening because I believe in the purpose of the podcast to allow a platform for listeners to connect with impactful stories that are rarely spoken about in public. Being able to shed light on topics and real-life conflicts many people can relate to or possibly are experiencing is a great way to support communities and spark helpful conversations. As an intern for Death, Sex, & Money I would feel so privileged to be a part of this radio

Growing up my family had little to no money. My parents, immigrants from El Salvador, worked two jobs each. Home was a small space with a conjoined kitchen and living room. When Mom and Dad first arrived to America, they never imagined a child of theirs would become a university student. Coming to America itself was in their wildest dreams. To them, an education of that level was unattainable. Now, I represent my family wherever I go. I am at TWU for my family and for my dreams. One day, I will be

The Research in Human Relations course guided me in the application mindset of my studies. Mindfully being able to break down information, from the statement of the issue to the analysis of data, to even an appropriate outcome that is beneficial to a particular field of study, is what this course promotes. Don Miguel Ruiz states in his novel, The Four Agreements, that we make different types of assumptions simply because we do not have the courage to ask questions (Ruiz & Mills, 1997, p. 68). This

The issues caused by child neglect are very hard for a child to overcome as they mature. This point is made clear by Bruno Bettelheim in, “Joey: A Mechanical Boy”. This story portrays how hard it was for a young boy named, Joey, to move past his parents neglect of him when he was a child. In the beginning when Bettelheim began working with Joey he noted the obvious mechanical behavior of the child. Joey operated by what appeared to be remote control. Joey himself believed that he was a machine, but

Sometimes, the people around a person forces that person to give up their freedom in order to please the audience. The person wants to make the audience pleased and keeps their reputation high. In the short story, “Shooting an Elephant”, George Orwell describes his life as a police in a foreign country, Burma, where he is forced to shoot a wild elephant who destroys parts of a village. Orwell does not want to shoot the elephant, but because of the Burmese around him, excited to see the elephant die
