...In this essay, the articles “Homeless in Budapest.” by Raluca Besliu and “Homelessness Becomes A Crime In Hungary,” by Eric Westervelt are being compared and contrasted based on their information involving the growing homeless population in Budapest, Hungary. As the rate of rent continues to increase and jobs become scarce, the population of people without homes becomes larger everyday. By using ethos, logos, and pathos, one is able to decide who has made a more convincing argument for the same cause. The essay comes to a close when both articles are picked apart piece by piece and presents the article with the better convincing writing style to the reader. Homeless In Budapest ‘Treat others the way you want to be treated’...

...Ending Homelessness Even though there are millions of Americans who sleep under a roof every night, as many as 500,000 people sleep on the streets in the United States (Semuels 1). Clearly, homelessness is an issue, not only on the national scale, but also globally. As a first step to ending homelessness, we should reach out to homeless individuals through our law enforcement and provide aid to them, if they want it. Several debates are made towards homelessness, but there are two general opinions about homelessness. First, many people assert that to end homelessness, all homeless individuals should be helped. How, exactly, these people are helped stands undefined, as there are many different ideas of this. However, this notion of helping the...

...In the 1990’s, as the public became increasingly aware of sexual violence they turned to legislatures to develop and reform laws regarding sexual offenders. The hope was that with notification, communities would be motivated to adopt protective actions against violent and sexual crimes occurring in their homes (Bandy, 239). Both the works of Bandy and Bonnar-Kidd state that fear occurs after notification, but there is little research that protective behaviors ever follow. Instead, there must be a perceived personal risk, not just fear, to adopt habits that include avoiding unsafe areas, locking the doors, buying or carrying a weapon, taking self-defense classes, or installing an alarm system (Bandy, 241). The desire of risk community theory is that “to induce the public to take protective actions, the best results come from communication that is given (a) in the written form, (b) repeatedly, and (c) by a multitude of authoritative groups (Bandy,...

...harmful stereotypes given to people of color have been going on for a long period of time and are increasing to this day. One example of a common stereotype is the poverty that is heavily inflicted on African Americans. This causes a significant amount of them to seek survival through stealing. It is easiest to suspect and convict African Americans of committing these crimes based on the stereotypes that are imposed upon them, “While on its face the end of slavery should have meant the opportunity for Black people to build wealth, in reality each generation of Black Americans since the end of slavery has faced a new, even more insidious set of obstacles to obtaining and keeping wealth, status, and stability” (National Alliance to End Homelessness). After 9/11, many Americans have wrongly associated Middle Eastern people with threats and dangerous violence, creating the stereotype that they carry harmful weaponry. An incident like this can create and spread stereotypes towards the whole race. This point also illustrates how Mexican immigrants unfairly face suspicion due to the stereotypes of drug trafficking in Mexico. With this understanding in mind, the trend of stereotypes originates from history. Throughout the migration of Mexican immigrants to the United States, these stereotypes have persisted, becoming deeply embedded in American culture. This has been deeply ingrained into American culture, which has created these stereotypes inflicted by history and false accusations...

...Capitalism and Patriarchy’s Effect on Battered Women’s Syndrome and Abuse Introduction Domestic violence has existed for centuries and is still prevalent in present day society (Flowers, 1996: 131). Domestic violence generally involves violence towards women and children (Sev’er, 2007: 235).This generally includes physical, sexual, verbal, and emotional violence directed towards a spouse, girlfriend, wife, or partner (DeKeseredy, 2005: 234). One of the debates surrounding domestic violence is the legitimacy of battered women’s syndrome. There are arguments over whether or not battered woman’s syndrome is a justifiable defence or just an excuse (Fumento, 1996: 158). The aim of this paper is to justify the legitimacy of Battered Women’s Syndrome, or BWS for short. I will look at the history of violence to better understand the credibility of BWS as well as why it is discredited. I will analyze how the patriarchal capitalist society we live in affects the views regarding BWS and abuse. The purpose of this section is to understand how the patriarchal capitalist society attempts to protect male status by discrediting the validity of spousal abuse and BWS. Definition and History Battered women’s syndrome results from a pattern of abuse from a partner (Barnett & LaViolette, 1996: 158). Spousal abuse has had a long history, and has grown since the middle ages (Flowers, 1996: 131). Social scientist Friedrich Engels noted that spousal abuse began “with the emergence of the...

...In the opening paragraph, it was asserted that it was on the shoulders of society for the responsibility of these increases in violent crime. The following paragraphs are the reasons that will prove my arguments. The forces of social control affect every aspect of an individual in a society such as Canadian Society. That is, it is the attempt that society makes to regulate behavior of its citizens within that society. Some examples of these society enforced roles are our status roles, which place us into a hierarchy that is given to us by society. Their are both positive and negative structures and factors to enforce these laws rules created by the society. Positive being praise, wealth and power for abiding by the laws of a given society. Negative enforcers are disgrace, negative praise etc ... and other forms of deterrence that are created by society. These levels of punishment equal the importance of the laws that they enforce in the eyes of the society. Laws against criminal behavior has the criminal justice system in place to enforce and act as a form of social control. “A formal system that responds to the alleged violations of laws using police, courts and punishments …” Therefore although society as a whole sees crime as a personal failure and a choice of the individual to act upon. Society is the anvil on which ideas of good and evil are wrought and the individuals are hammered into conformity with applied force that is physical and personality shaping. ...

...IHR 1 Methadone: The Introduction of Harm Reduction IHR 2 As I began thinking about what topic covers a multitude of citizens and is a significant issue and problem that affects the justice system here in the United States, almost automatically I was drawn to my deep passion for recovery based solutions to drug and alcohol addictions. I have found my experiences in recovery, to repeatedly be surrounded with the pain of those whom have suffered and are still suffering from effects of their addiction(s). Many addictions have grown out of the same medications that when used properly, provided the relief sought to provide pain maintenance and therefore relief of such pain. I firmly believe that without some form of spiritual maintenance, recovery- both physical and mentally- is an endless merry go-round of medical doctors and drug dealers. As a recovering addict/alcoholic myself, my daily walk exposes me to the ever increasing ideology, of not only addicts, but the public at large, to the thought process of finding relief for every day undesirable thought and undesirable actions (according to some), to be the quick fix, which historically has been called the “magic pill” or “magical elixir” cure. In the near future, I plan to be a recovery counselor and placement specialist. I hope to be able to provide some experience based direction, on the path of recovery, to those whom still suffer. I felt the need to understand not only the options being provided for said addictions...

...Under which all people have the same rights to the maximum freedom. And secondly Rawls states, that it’s ok to have inequality, as long as those who are better of will somehow benefit those who are least well of. This according to Rawls will minimize the maximum, allowing to “close the gap”. (Shaw, Barry, & Sansbury, 2009) This will be possible according to Rawls as all rational, self-interested people will seek to maximize the minimum to be better of. They do not want to gamble with their or their children’s future. (Shaw et al. 2009) Nozicks theory on distributive justice is based on minimum government intervention because it enforces yours and mine violation of liberty or freedom. In his theory Government is only there to protect against force, fraud and theft. As well as to enforce contracts...

I want to show how racism contributes to the huge number of incarcerated African Americans. The criminal justice system creates and perpetuates racial hierarchy in the United States, and has done so throughout history.
