...always in the spotlight of public eyes. But what is the drive behind all of this cautiousness of the authorities as well as excitement of the football fans? According to Concise Oxford English Dictionary (2008), “derby” or “local derby” (Martin, 2011) is used to refer to as a sports match between two rival teams from the same area (WordReference.com, 2011). These clashes of neighbors, especially those within the scope of the English Premier League (EPL), are often highly competitive not only on the field but also on the grand stand. The Barclays Premier League is widely regarded as the elite club competition in world football. Like every other league in England, the Premier League comes under the jurisdiction of the Football Association (the FA) and must submit its rules each year for approval and sanction (premierleague.com, 2011). Teams must fight for a stand among the 20 greatest clubs of the Premier League (PL), with three relegated to and...

...Disorders Writing Assignment The purpose of this project is to give you experience in making clinical diagnoses and to attempt to make sense of the many psychological disorders that are out there. You have been assigned to watch a popular movie. I decided to give this to you before Christmas Break because you will have at least 2 weeks to think of the movies form the list and watch one or two or whatever number you want. Pretend that you are a clinical psychologist, and the character in the movie has come in to your office. There is one central character in the movie that has symptoms of a psychological disorder (sometimes there may be more than one character; I have given you the character with the most obvious symptoms). In your paper, you should give a brief description of the character. Then, you should answer the following: o Identify the diagnosis that you would make of the character. • You should back up your diagnosis with the relevant symptoms displayed by the character (in other words, explain why did you make the diagnosis that you did). Refer to the movie to illustrate the symptoms that the character demonstrates. • Discuss all the possible symptoms of the disorder; does the client show all the possible symptoms, or only some of the possible symptoms of the disorder? • In some cases, the character may be lying, and does not really have a disorder. For example, the person may be faking the disorder to avoid prosecution for a...

...significance for the communities they represent at both local and national levels. Social and cultural analysts have only recently started to investigate the wide variety of customs, values and social patterns that surround the game in different societies. This volume contributes to the widening focus of research by presenting new data and explanations of football-related violence. Episodes of violence associated with football are relatively infrequent, but the occasional violent events which attract great media attention have their roots in the rituals of the matches, the loyalties and identities of players and crowds and the wider cultures and politics of the host societies. This book provides a unique cross-national examination of patterns of order and conflict surrounding football matches from this perspective with examples provided by expert contributors from Scotland, England, Norway, the Netherlands, Italy, Argentina and the USA. This book will be of interest to an international readership of informed soccer and sport enthusiasts and students of sport, leisure, society, deviance and culture.

...Fight At The Investment Club It started with a fight over Big Macs. The members of the Golden Years Investment Club rarely disagreed with each other about where to put their money. In fact, most times they left the final decision to Lenn Width, the septuagenarian leader of the group, whose 34-year track record with Golden Years had led Business Week to call him "a dazzling role model" for individual investors in a cover story last May. But on this crisp October evening in 1992, one of the newest members -- David Korn, a young architect who had joined the 26-member club a year earlier -- decided it was time to dump one of the group's longtime holdings. "We should sell McDonald's," Korn announced. "It's a stagnant company." Width was taken aback. He'd been a loyal McDonald's shareholder for years, and had no intention of bailing out now. "It's a growth company," he countered angrily. "Brinker International and Buffets -- those are growth companies," Korn shot back in a voice that now carried an unmistakable tone of condescension. "They're growing at 20, 30 percent a year." The other members sat in shocked silence; no one ever talked to Width this way. "They're too speculative," Width said, his voice rising. Finally, Korn couldn't take it any longer. "I despise McDonald's," he practically shouted. "The bathrooms are filthy, and the food isn't that great." This is not the sort of exchange that you normally read about in the press coverage of investment...

...For my argumentation paper I plan on discussing the drinking limit and why I feel it should be lowered to 18 instead on 21. There has been an ongoing controversy in the United States on whether the drinking age should be lowered to 18, like most of the world, or if it should stay at 21. Underage drinking has been a major controversial issue for years; yet why is it not under control? Teenagers are continuing to buy alcohol with fake identification cards, get into bars, and drink illegally. As a teen, I have proof that these things are going on not only in college but in high school as well. There are a lot of factors that come together to why the drinking age should be lowered to 18. The most obvious reason is too many people are drinking before they are 21. Liquor stores, bars, and clubs all want to make money and if they can get away with selling to underage teens then they will. My opinion along with a growing number of people across the country is questioning the reason of the 21 legal drinking ages. Throughout history, people have always wanted what they can’t have. Today, many teenagers experience different things in the world. Teens are always eager to try something different or new. One of the things that teenagers try is drinking alcohol. Around the 1980s many states changed the legal drinking age from 18 to 21. The theory behind this was, that if you increase the drinking age, people will drink more responsibly, because with age comes responsibility. Unfortunately...

...for the information because while I was doing the flashcards I learned things I didn’t knew before about Ian. Some things that made me do this essay and all this stuff about Ian was that I like a lot how he act. In the “The Vampire Diaries2” series he looks like so bad and his personality is mean. In real life he is like an angel so I think he acts super good, and also while acting a personality that is totally different as his own.

...detentions, poor conditions and beatings of detainees by guards at Lindela Repatriation Centre, assaults by police officers involved in the arrest of suspected illegal immigrants, and arbitrary and verbally abusive conduct towards asylum-seekers by Department of Home Affairs officials (Amnesty International, 2001). Xenophobia is defined by the Merriam Webster Dictionary as ‘fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners or of what is strange or foreign’ (Mish, 1997). The literal meaning of the word suggests that xenophobic people would dislike all foreigners equally, as it is their ‘foreignness’ that makes them objectionable. However, the patterns that emerge of the targets involved in incidents that are attributed to xenophobia, as well as empirical research investigating xenophobia, suggest that this is not the case. Particular groups of foreigners are targeted, and the ethnic origins of...

...Research Paper on Human Trafficking and Sex Trade in the UAE ABSTRACT: Human trafficking, which relates to the treatment of people through the use of deception, force or coercion or other means to transport them across different borders worldwide and within countries, has attracted a lot of attention (Godziack & Bump,2008).This is so because the plight of women and children who are exploited for both labour and sex, has been brought to the attention of governments and international bodies such as the United Nations. Though human trafficking is not confined only to women and children, but includes men as well (for labour), it is the use and abuse of women and children for sexual activities that has received new focus. This has also been the case in the UAE. The country has been criticized for being lax in curbing or preventing this activity. This resulted in action on the part of the UAE government. The scope of this paper is to look at human trafficking in the UAE and the actions taken to stop it and prosecute the perpetrators of it. Definition and Background to Human Trafficking: In today’s world many people see and refer to human trafficking as the “ new slave trade”. Though human trafficking is seen and described as a new phenomenon, it is actually very old. It has existed for thousands of years, but just in another form and name, namely that of slavery. This leads to a comparison between the old and the new. In the modern setting of today’s world, exploitation...

The United States implement several policies to deal with criminal activity and social issues, for instance The United States Human Trafficking Policy, this policy is not a successful one but this policy is steadily improving with sustainable reform.

...shows that in clear cash terms nuclear energy makes about one tenth of the costs of coal (ExternE). But there is another group of people who think that nuclear power is harmful to the earth and the military uses from it can cause nations to fall and the earth to be heavily contaminated. With the thought of earth in the picture the use of nuclear power not only can harm this planet but it can also help it as well. This is because researches have found out that nuclear power emits zero greenhouse gasses. Which means that nuclear power will not cause any contributions to global warming. “You can’t just write nuclear off,” says Judi Greenwald, director of innovative solutions with the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, an environmental research and advocacy group. “I think everybody feels you have at least look again” at nuclear power (William M.).

...praying on what is considered to be the “weak ones.” The “weak-ones” are the ones who seems to be lacking something in their lives, and the only way they know how to fill that void or to get what they are looking for is by joining a gang. The gang gives them status, love, trust, attention, and most of all, it gives them an opportunity to have all the things that they think are important. They find all that they are missing without thinking about the consequences of being affiliated with such groups. This isn’t new to our society; youth gangs have been around for more than 150 years. The youth gangs have grown larger and bolder since the beginning of their time. This paper will discuss why so many youths join gangs? And why has it become such an “it” thing to do in the 20th century? Not only will this paper focus on those two area, it will also give alternatives. What can a juvenile do to redirect their attention away from gang involvement? Why Youths Join Gangs and How to Prevent it from Happening Youth gangs have been in existence for a long period of time.

...Summary The main objective of the paper was to highlight bullied youths and their behaviour and how they retaliate in a manner that no one would have expected. Their behaviour would come as a surprise to many because the end result would be murdering their perpetrators and also killing innocent people in their line of revenge. It also explained the different avenues why young people who are victims to bullying take matters into their own hands because many people such as school authorities and friends turn a blind eye to how they are treated. The writer also spoke about the initial stages of bullying to the extension where it becomes a bigger problem for the child who is a victim of such abuse. A few theories were highlighted in the paper which tries to explain or clarified some reasons why some children would resort to bullying others. The Strain Theory spoke about the victim who is the bullied would retaliate because of the strain condition that he or she is under. The Pecking Theory is where they relate the behaviour of animals on how dominance is displayed by over another in the animal kingdom. The Scapegoat Theory explains the act of minority groups and the so called depression that exerts from their behaviour It also brought to the forefront besides the theories mention that some of the children who are victim of such behaviour of bullying would not talk about it because of the consequences that they feared of being further victimized, if the bully...
