... It’s our own choice to commit a crime. Also, criminal behaviour comes from our living environments. Lastly if anyone is a criminal they were raised to be a criminal. It is our own choice to commit a crime. Just like it is our own choice to study for an upcoming test in school. In the classical early history of criminology, a guy named Jeremy Bentham believed in utilitarianism which is the view that people’s behaviour is motivated by the pursuit to seek pleasure and avoid pain. It is about what a person wants. The consensus theory is a sociological early history theory which states that people know the difference between right and wrong, some individuals choose to do wrong. We all have a brain and we all know how to use it. Lastly, the rational choice and deterrence theory plays an important part of a criminal. Some people suggest that criminals calculate the costs and the benefits of criminal activity and if the benefit outweighs the cost, the criminal is willing to take the risk of getting caught. These theories prove that a criminal can think before they do. Everybody has a choice in life. Criminal behaviour also comes from growing up in poverty. Some people have less resources. Our living environments impact on how people behave. The Ecological School criminal theory states that crime is fostered by poor living environments. A person might be living in poverty and is able to see the success of someone who is living in riches...

...Directives Fatima Ahmad DeVry College of New York Dr. VanOrsdale 23 August 2015 Advance Directives Advance directives relate to treatment inclinations and the designation of a surrogate leader if a man ought to end up not able to settle for therapeutic choices all alone sake. Advance directives for the most part fall into three classes: living will, health care proxy and power of attorney (Fremgen, 113). Living will This is a composed report that determines what sorts of medicinal treatment are craved. A living will can be certain or extremely broad. More particular living wills may incorporate data in regards to a singular's longing for such administrations, for example, absence of pain (agony alleviation), anti-infection agents, hydration, bolstering, and the utilization of ventilators or cardiopulmonary revival (Fremgen, 114). Health care proxy This is an authoritative report in which an individual assigns someone else to settle on health care sets in the occurrence that he or else she is rendered unequipped for making their wishes known. The health care proxy has, generally, the same rights to demand or decline treatment that the individual would have if equipped for settling on and conveying choices (www.nlm.nih.gov). Strong power of attorney This is the third sort of advance directives. People may draft authoritative reports giving power of attorney to others on account of weakening therapeutic condition. The sturdy power of attorney permits a person...

...Living life as we are meant to Life is much simpler that we make it. Life is easier than we are living it. All we need is our basic instincts to live a simple and happy life. Annie Dillard is saying in "Living Like Weasels" that things are easier when your choices are made with instinct and carried through rather than analyzed. We all know that life through an innocent, and simple mind is a wonderful thing. That might be why we remember childhood as an easier time. We grow up and things get complicated and we loose that innocence or mindlessness. “The weasel lives in necessity and we live in choice, hating necessity and dying at the last ignobly in its talons.” (Dillard 100) Choice is something that we make day in and day out. I believe that Dillard is saying that the mindlessness of a weasel is simple to the core and it only making choices based on pure instinct rather than vanity or personal motive. It is a simple mind of a wild animal that uses necessity to make its choices. “People take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience-even of silence-by choice.” (Dillard 101) We choose to ignore our basic natural instincts for personal gain that we hoard for our future needs, but we don’t ever have the time to enjoy all that we have acquired. So why do we move so fast to gain as much as possible to overlook that we don’t have the time to enjoy it. Dillard is arguing that life is moving by to fast and so much is happening right before our eyes. We are so busy with our day-to-day...

...SO303RA: Urban Sociology Phone: | | E-mail: || Instructor: | | Abstract Using a revised version of John J. Macionis and Vincent N. Parrillo’s Cities and Urban life, the social distance scale, this research examines social distance toward other ethnic groups and all races residing in an increasingly suburban world. Analyses indicate that blacks & whites report closer social distance to each other than to any other racial or ethnic group. Blacks express greater social distance toward Mexicans than do whites. Mexicans report greater social distance toward African Americans than toward whites. Willingness to marry members of other racial & ethnic groups mirrors these same patterns. Country Life versus City Life Have you ever wondered how people live in the country versus how people live in the city? The country lifestyle and the city lifestyle have a lot of differences, so I saw them as work, let me tell about these the first difference is work. Both of them people usually work, but how they work different. To begin with, farmers work outside and harvest. Employee of the company work inside and work on machine. Second, the country has small markets and the city has big markets. The third way is the people in country don't need more money. Every time, they need to buy something, they can trade each other such as rice, potato.etc...But the people in the city make more money because they need more things...

...Living Without Worry and Fear Freedom is defined as a state in which somebody is able to act and live as he or she chooses, without being subject to any undue restrictions. Jeffrey Borenstein has said, “Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond.” However, Anne Dillard suggests a simple and unsophisticated way of life and uses the world of the weasel for motivation to convey this message. Since our ability to think and reason makes us who we are as individuals, it is odd that Dillard marvels at the value of “mindlessness.” Yet, in Anne Dillard’s essay, “Living like Weasels” she uses her encounter with a weasel to demonstrate how we would obtain more out of life through living carefree and without a worry. This freedom translates to a beauty hard for many to see and we should remain grateful for our conscious ability and the fact that our presence provides this beauty to the world. Dillard evaluates the rodent’s way of life, which in reality is pure freedom. This weasel is free to do as it pleases and is not involved in taking on mental activity. Further, the weasel has no human responsibilities and approaches life with no thoughts other than survival. If we approached each day without being mindful, our actions would not be distorted by our biases or motives. Dillard observes, “I might learn something of mindlessness, something of the purity of living in the physical senses and the dignity of living without bias...

...to make. Among which there is a choice for them at first place, that is, he or she has to decide whether to live on campus or live outside of campus. Actually, both of the two choices have their own advantages and disadvantages. So, different people may have different opinions. For example, they will think about the cost, location, how to make friends easily and be specific. Sometimes, it is very hard for the students to tell which one is better and which one is worse because the two choices share a lot of similarities. However, through this analysis, they may find out which one they prefer. First of all, let’s see the advantages of living on campus. First and foremost, living on campus is more convenient than living outside of campus. For instance, If you live on-campus, you can easily walk to classes, libraries, computer labs and cafeterias.You don't have to waste time and money on driving to college, finding a parking space, and so forth. And also, Residences halls usually provide almost all equipment one may need. When living off-campus, it may not be convenient for you to walk to campus so you would have to find transportation. Whether you drive your car or use a form of public transportation, it is still going to cost you money. Traffic can also be an issue if you live in a crowded area. The second advantage of living on campus is can allow you to meet more people and establish more friendships than if you live off-campus. Living in a dorm means that there will...

...as though one’s life is forgo-ed. Yet others advocate that certain decisions and needs go beyond the freedom of choice. This controversial debate of freedom of choice extends across many issues, ranging from the choice to commit suicide to the abortion of the baby. Here in lies the problem for abortion: what right does one have to determine whether another should live? It’s no longer just one life that we’re dealing with, but the life of an innocent victim. Steven Poole mentions in his book ‘Unspeak’, about the idea of complex messages in terms used. Also could be known as the ‘reading between the lines’ that we rarely do. He brings up the example of ‘pro-life’ versus ‘pro-choice’. The previously known ‘pro-abortionists’ changed their names to ‘pro-choice’, using a softer tactic. This appealed to the idea of giving women the rights and individual responsibility on whether or not to have the baby. More importantly, it subtly cast the opposing team in the negative light-as dictators that are ‘anti-choice’. The opposing team was quick to catch on and swiftly reformed themselves as ‘pro-life’. This automatically placed their adversaries in the position of ‘anti-life’ or rather ‘pro-death’, appealing to the innate and sacred value of ‘life’. Poole very aptly points out that in a ‘conceptual battle’ of morals between life and choice, ‘life’ will easily win out ‘choice’. The law is what it is for the protection and safety of the people. It bars criminals to keep them away from...

...LIVING IS BETTER IN THE COUNTRY HOOK: Do people typically prefer to live in the country rather than in the city? William Penn once said, “The country life is to be preferred; for there we see the works of God; but in cities, we see little else but the works of men.” INTRODUCE THE ISSUE: Even after considering all of the negative aspects of living in the city, such as the crime rate, pollution, traffic, and the noise level, city life still offers a lot of daily conveniences. Some conveniences that city life offers are public transportation, a variety of stores, and restaurants, and lots of places to live and work. However; people who have lived in both the city and the country, know that country living is better than city living. STATE POSITION CLEARLY: The environment of a rural life style, the peace, and quiet, the beauty of nature, and the calming effect that it has on one’s mind and body, is the reason that people prefer living in the country rather than in the city. TRANSITION TO ESSAY BODY (THESIS): People prefer to live in the country because there are many advantages, and simple pleasures that can only be attained by living there. PRO REASON 1: There are no traffic jams in the country, and people need not travel to experience the wonders that nature has to offer. SUPPORTING EVIDENCE: There is no traffic in the country, so typically, the sound of passing cars, and trucks is not heard as frequent as in the city. The load noise of the sirens from fire trucks,...

...created to respond to the increasing sophistication and prevalence of the medical technology of today’s world. The wishes of the dying are going unheard because they didn’t make plans before the time came along. This is when the situation of living wills, durable power of attorney, and other directives came into place. Living wills provide the specific course of treatment that is to be followed when a person is dying. The durable power of attorney gives another person the right to state the last wishes of a dying person. There are four kinds of legal advance directives that are followed in any case of the dying and the parties left behind to decide. The first choice is the living will of a person. The second choice is the durable power of attorney given by a person to another person to decide. The third choice is a person legally stating their wants in writing before they are ill. The last choice is the person leaving the choice to a health care agent through a health care agency. I have personally been involved in every situation of this topic. My mother got ill and put a durable power of attorney in place for me to make the decisions for her care. There came a time when I couldn’t afford the cost of her choice and she signed her care over to a hospice facility and they became responsible for care and I lost the right to make any decisions about her care. She made this decision because the hospital wouldn’t let me take her home and the facility said...

...Living Apart Together Living Apart Together (LAT) is a new family lifestyle – voluntarily – for the couples all around the world. LAT is a term, to describe the couples in a relationship, which live in separate houses. Couples who live apart are becoming very common and have become a growing trend. The concept of this way of living is getting popular and can be found in all age groups. Experts agree that LATs is now part of the social landscape. Some say the trend shows, that you have problems in your relationship, which that you are attempting to run away from, instead of dealing with them. While others believe that this is an opportunity to be away from your actual partner and thus gives a better and healthier relationship. Of course there are many other arguments and those above, are only a few of many in the debate of living apart together. In the following assignment, I have focused on the issue “does living apart together have a positive or negative impact?”. Of course there are various points of views and opinions, and that’s what makes this topic so exciting. Therefore I have selected text 2 and 3, representing two different perspectives. Text 2 “Home alone together” is written by Jill Brooke in 2006. The text claims that LAT is becoming very popular and the number of these kinds of relationships is increasing. The co-director of the Nation Marriage Project at Rutgers University, David Popenoe, tells us about how the “younger couples often turn to LAT arrangements...

...emotion that many individuals try to search for throughout their lives. In addition, happiness is seen as a key factor to living a good life. All over the world, there are individuals who believe that this true happiness is found through distancing oneself from social interactions and by living life independently. This is believed because you are allowed to make your own choices when living independently. When we are independent, we tend to make choices that surround ourselves. In addition, the choices that we make as independent individuals tends to be selfish and self-centered. To this, these choices are selfish because we are independent and only worry about our own selves. Although living life independently may seem as...

...Although rational choice theory does have merit to otherwise strengthen its argument, there are some limitations to rational choice that weakens its case for criminal behavior. One limitation that I have identified, is that this theory does not take into account non-rational human behavior, such as emotional and psychological behaviors. In some cases, individuals, when confronted with a devastating or emotionally charged situation, are sometimes cause them to commit a crime. For example, if a husband walks in on his wife having relations with another man or vice versa, there is no real way to correctly identify the way someone is going to behave when confronted with this scene. Some individuals may commit a violent act based on irrational impulse...

The next importance is increase the quality of the products. When there is foreign trade, there will be competition and the local firms can feel the threat. Thus quality and standardized products are produced to attract customers to make sure that they can sustain in the market. For example, When Padini breaks into the local market, the local clothing manufacturer will try to improve their quality to attract the customer to buy the clothes. Besides that, foreign trade helps in generating employment opportunities. This is because when there is foreign trade, labour will be needed. This will automatically create job opportunities.
