...grown-ups but also by children who are under 18 years old nowadays commit murders and other terrible crimes. Ordinarily, a young criminal is not applied the same restrictions for his crime as a grown criminal is, nevertheless if it especially goes about capital crimes people start talking about the death penalty for such juveniles. A child always remains a child and if he commits a crime it is not because he has had a good life. It is not the guilt of the children, but their big misfortune. It is a misfortune of not having anybody to love and truly support them and lead them in the correct direction. Along with that it is common knowledge that the period of 11 through 17 is a period of an especially intensive changes both in the organism and the mind of a child. That is why it is not fair to put a child in the same line with a grown up that can be completely responsible for his actions. A child is not mentally capable of comprehending the crime he or she commits. The system of values in the age under 18 is not built yet, other people can easily influence children and the psychic process are not stable yet. Under these conditions a child should never be sentences to death or a life sentence for they still have a chance to change and re-evaluate their life. If the aim of the prison is to change criminals for better then children under 18 should become the “material for changes” of the highest priority. The year of 1988 was an extremely important year of the United...

...currently only 58 nations actively practice it, with 95 countries abolishing it (the remainder having not used it for 10 years or allowing it only in exceptional circumstances such as wartime). It is a matter of active controversy in various countries and states, and positions can vary within a single political ideology or cultural region. In the European Union member states, Article 2 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union prohibits the use of capital punishment.[2] Today, most countries are considered by Amnesty International as abolitionists, which allowed a vote on a nonbinding resolution to the UN to promote the abolition of the death penalty. However, over 60% of the world's population live in countries where executions take place insofar as the four most populous countries in the world (the People's Republic of China, India, United States and Indonesia) apply the death penalty and are unlikely to abolish it in the near future. The Death Penalty in the U.S. From 1930, the first year for which statistics are readily available from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, to 1967, 3,859 persons were executed under civil (that is, nonmilitary) jurisdiction in the United States. During this period of nearly half a century, over half (54%) of those executed were black, 45 percent were white, and the...

...chase, Smiley encounters him on the riverbank. Thereupon, Smiley, with tears in his eyes, shoots Casper three times, the last bullet piercing his head. This allows time for the other maras to catch up. They then all proceed to empty their magazines and clips into Casper in an execution style killing, while Sayra struggles to hold on to the raft and screams horrified. From my point of view, it’s ironic that Smiley is the one who kills Casper. Smiley, a young 12-year-old kid, recruited and initiated by Casper himself was the one in charge of ending his life, no one else. Casper was the one who brought him up in the gang and taught him about the tasks, responsibilities, and sense of comradeship of MS-13. I think part of the movie’s a message with this scene is that “who that lives by the sword, dies by the sword”. This means that if you use violence, or other harsh means, against other people, you can expect to have those same means used against you. Casper lived from being a gang member, stealing, harassing, and murdering people and later died at the hands of another mara, one he created. Benito ultimately transforms into Smiley after killing his friend. He changes from being a doe-eyed innocent child to a cold, obedient gang member. As we learned in class, a...

...are said to be just and unjust: not only laws, institutions, and social systems, but also particular actions of many kinds, including decisions, judgments, and imputations. Do you think first before you act? Are you sure that your action does not violate the rights of others? Well, as a person, there are lots of things need to be consider as an unjust action. One example that is said to be unjust in our society is killing. When we say KILLING, it is the act of depriving someone or something's life. When you kill, you’re taking away their rights, not only right to live, but even small things such as right to smile, right to be free and right to love. You are not allowing them to continue their journey and mission as a human. In short you’re ending everything on them. Killing involves decisions and judgments. Judgment if you really going to kill him/her and decisions in deciding how will you kill or what is your way of killing. In every society in our world, it has been set in our minds that killing is prohibited. Once you killed someone or anyone, law will put you to imprisonment for you to pay the sin you've done and the consequences of it. But let me point these things out, even though all of the human race know that killing is forbidden, still there are instances of killing all around the world. One of the main causes of it is politics. Every time that we can feel the air of election and hear the heart whelming speech of the candidates; we can also feel each drop of their victims'...

...Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” and Thomas Wolfe’s “The Child by Tiger” show many similarities in each stories structure. Even though they were written in different time periods as well as different cultures, there is a unity in their conflicts, themes, and author’s purpose. Good and evil both exist in the world. Humans are good natured, but occasionally, evil is known to show up. Experiencing something tragic for the first time can be confusing and traumatizing. Two stories that illustrate young men dealing with evil are Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” and Thomas Wolfe’s “The Child by Tiger.” The protagonists of each story, Brown and Spangler, deal with the evils of this world but in different ways. Brown lets the evil take over his faith and beliefs while Spangler comes to an understanding that human beings can be both good and evil. "Young Goodman Brown," is a short-story of tragedy and personal loss. Hawthorne reveals the power of betrayal and the unsurmountable fear of evil. In this case, the source of these is the very foundation of a young man's faith. "Young Goodman Brown" is both memorable and perplexing because it is partially the story of Hawthorne's own self-discovery and a strong condemnation of the rigid fundamentalist system of belief that forms the core values of America to this very day. Unlike Washington Irving's earlier thriller, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," where the terror is ghostly and headless, Hawthorne unveils the murky dark...

...the woods and fell ‘ill’ a few days later. They experienced unusual fits that included screaming, throwing things and contorting themselves into odd positions. The minister of a nearby town believed it was the result of witchcraft. In order for the other girls who participated in the ritual to stay safe from being accused of witchcraft, they claimed that they were being tormented by witches in the town. An investigation began and quickly, three women became suspects. Sarah Osborne, Sarah Good and Tituba were women with reputations, or cultural differences that caused them to be outcasts. Those traits could have arguably been the only reason they were accused of witchcraft. Four others, including a child, were arrested when they doubted the credibility of the girls’ claims. The child was arrested...

A process needs certain assets, including CPU time, memory, documents, and I/O gadgets, to achieve its undertaking. The working framework is in charge of the accompanying exercises regarding process administration i.e. process creation and erasure, process suspension and resumption (scheduling), procurement of instruments for process synchronization and process correspondence. Process administration is normally performed by the bit. In numerous cutting edge working frameworks, there can be more than one occurrence of a system stacked in memory in the meantime; for instance, more than one client could be executing the same project, every client having separate duplicates of the system stacked into memory. With a few projects, it is conceivable to have one duplicate stacked...

...The first thing I noticed was an inconsistency in spacing. This paper was hard for me. A lot of the evidence was stretched which I think led to my editorial not being as convincing. However, one evidence I like is in the beginning when I was deconstructing a quote. I said: “In basic terms, this means that art is created to address concerns, entertain, and express your being, so to censor it is to ruin it.” I’d say that this is my best evidence. It is clear, concise, and makes sense. Others, not as much. For one of my points I was addressing the effect of art on small children. I said: “While art is meant to cause reactions, the way it is shown may be inappropriate for children. When you are a child, though, stuff you don’t understand generally flies over your head.” This is bad evidence, and not entirely true. This speaks of a minority of children. Most of the time children are curious and inquisitive. If they hear a new word or see something they don’t understand they’ll be curious, especially if it is hidden from them. Like any paper, this one had strengths and weaknesses. I will improve from this by researching more, and finding better evidence to support my...

The proceeding procedure and elaborates some of the irrational argumentations or logical fallacies that associated with traditional and effective abortion strategies. Recently, there are many controversial topics in this world, and abortion is one of them. So I choose to talk about should abortion be legal. In this essay, I'm going to talk about pros and cons of abortion. It was not a big problem before; however, recently the number of abortions increases rapidly. In some countries, abortion is legalized and in some country abortion is treated as a crime. There is two side to every story so the abortion. Abortion is the practice of ending the pregnancy causing the death of the human fetus. Some see this as a crime, and some see this as an option to an unprotected sex or to the situation where women become a victim. The US Supreme Court has declared abortion to be a "fundamental right" guaranteed by the US Constitution. First,...

...Compare and contrast Wilde’s presentation of the fallen woman in A Woman of No Importance with Hardy’s presentation of the same issue in Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Say how far you agree with the view that Hardy provokes more sympathy through his portrayal than Wilde. Wilde and Hardy both present their heroines as the ‘fallen woman’ against the backdrop of Victorian society. This portrayal by the authors of their heroines and the contrasting ways in which each character deals with their own situation leads us to empathise with their burdens and gain a deeper insight into their thoughts and emotions. As we witness the deepening punishments and tragedies unfolding for each character, both authors also succeed in eliciting our sympathy for these women as they enable us to experience the unfairness and injustice of the world as it was then. Wilde demonstrates the sheer devastation for a woman, of becoming ‘ruined’ through his character Mrs Arbuthnot as she expresses her demoralising thoughts and deep feelings that she has not spoken of before. We witness the destruction foisted upon her state of mind by the label of ‘fallen woman’ that was bestowed upon Mrs Arbuthnot, through the way that she scrutinises herself and expresses that she is a “tainted thing”. This metaphor implies that she believes her actions are so horrendous that she has been de-humanised and should be regarded as something impure. When describing her emotional burdens she states “I will bear them alone”. This simple...

...In today judicial system, many criminals are getting away with very little or no punishment for the crimes they are committing. You could be walking down the street in your very own neighborhood looking for their next victim and you do not even realize it. These criminals have no remorse on what they do; they are just waiting to strike again. However, if someone asked what your thought is on the death penalty, most would probably say that they are against it that is until a family member or someone you love is walking down the street and that man who was looking for their next victim found them. It was a family member and you will never see them again. Capital punishment has been a topic of debate for a very long time and it still has no certain solution. The Supreme Court, in 1972 said that it was unconstitutional and had made it legal after the Furman v. Georgia case. They said that it was in violation of our eighth and fourteenth amendment citing cruel and unusual punishment (Shaw, 2001). They then reinstated the death penalty after the Gregg v. Georgia case in 1976 (Shaw, 2001). As of September 2010, fifteen states that do not have the death penalty ("Death penalty information center," 2010.) Today about seventy percent of Americans who support the death penalty (The pros and cons of the death penalty in the USA, 2011). While thirty percent are against the death penalty (The pros and cons of the death penalty in the USA, 2011). When seeking the death...

...there and continue on with your life without ever paying the price for it. Do you think that could happen now, not likely at all, and if James lived in this era, it wouldn't be possible for him either with the new laws and law enforcement. During the 19th century, substantial crimes were divided into degrees to allow enforcement to determine a fair punishment. The first degree crimes were punishable by the death penalty, and the punishment wasn’t as peaceful as a shot that slowly stopped your heart. Death sentences back then were carried out by executions. The crimes that sent people straight to death row were; rape, burglary, robbery, piracy, murder committed with arson, and murder with malice, meaning murder with the intent to be evil. Some felt the death penalty was too harsh, especially since the public could come in and view the executions taking place. In 1834 Pennsylvania became the first state to perform their executions in correctional facilities, away from the public. With some still feeling that the death penalty was still too harsh, in 1846 Michigan became the first state to abolish the whole thing all together. Sure enough, Rhode Island and Wisconsin shortly followed, along with many other state there after. Although the punishment was being abolished in some places, other states bought into it, some even made more crimes into capital offenses just to be able to put an offender on death row.

Vivita was one of the lucky ones. She left before the Iron Curtain trapped people inside the Soviet Union and its territories in 1945. However, the four years Vivita spent living in Riga, Latvia was enough time for Latvia to be occupied by both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, and for tens of thousands of Latvians to be deported to prison camps by the U.S.S.R. and Germany.
