As said by the author Jonathan Carroll, “Sometimes you have to give up on people. Not because you don’t care, but because they don’t.” Throughout history many societies that were once prosperous have collapsed or plunged into great poverty.

Policing is more than just police officers out controlling the streets it deals with a lot of behind the scene stuff such as the FBI, Detectives, DEA, Department of Homeland Security, and Federal Air Marshals to name a few. Without policing in today’s society everything would be crazy, laws would not be enforced and all the different types of crime would be at an all-time high. People depend

The essays, “Neat People vs Sloppy People” by English teacher and writer, Suzanne Britt and “Batting Clean-Up and Striking out” by humorist and reporter, David Barry take a whole new look on the dreaded aspects of cleaning.

Progressing through the book, I wondered why the black people stand up when Atticus walked by? One reason I think the black people stood up was because they wanted to show respect. The black people are the type of people who feel the need to pay someone back if they do something nice for them. They did not get very special treatment and when they did, they felt obligated to pay them back with respect. Tom is a member of their community and Atticus helped Tom out in a large way.
