...Review October 20, 2014 “Poverty refers to a situation which the basic resources to maintain an average standard of living within a specific geographic region are lacking.” (Bartol & Bartol, 2014, p. 31) It is known that there is a definite connection between poverty and criminal activity. The connection leaves little doubt that poverty is a legitimate risk factor and those who are forced to survive in impoverished conditions are more likely to engage in criminal activity. “There is little doubt that poverty has a strong connection to persistent, violent offending, as measured by official, victimization and self-report data on both adult and juvenile offenders.” (Bartol & Bartol, 2014, p. 32) Treatment of those who reside in impoverished areas by law enforcement is much different than individuals who reside in more affluent neighborhoods. “In many communities, children from the lower socioeconomic class are targeted by law enforcement practices more than are children of the middle and upper classes” (Bartol & Bartol, 2014, p. 33) Impoverished environments also connect the individuals who reside in them to other issues which make the risk factor of poverty even more complex. According to the text (Bartol & Bartol, 2014) attending inadequate schools, not completing school, being unemployed, carrying a firearm, being victimized, along with being a witness to violent crimes are more likely to occur when an individual lives in poverty. The articles “Public housing...

...Canada, A Cultural Analysis Abstract Canada is a beautiful country that is adjacent to the United States of America. There are many resemblances between Canadian culture and American culture. It is also common for Canadians to expect great communications in the workplace and friendliness. It is valued to be respectful of others ethical background as well. It is also standard to see similarities in basic hand shake as a cultural behavior to mean many things.

...Church and demonstrates that it has not always been flawed. In the general prologue, the Parson is written as the perfect preacher, devout, giving, and humble. He was described as generous and altruistic, “Giving to poor parishioners round about/ both from Church offerings and his property;/ He could in little find sufficiency...This noble example to his sheep he gave/ that first he wrought, and afterwards he taught;” (16). Here the Parson is the epitome of a man of God, helping others before himself and leading through example. As a harsh contrast, the Pardoner is instead selfish and believes there is no reason that his profession should cause him to live in poverty. He directly expresses this, saying, “What! Do you think, as long as I can preach/ and get their silver for the things I teach,/ That I will live in poverty, from choice?/ That’s not the counsel of my inner voice!” (244). These boldly delineated differences between the two character magnifies the deplorable nature of the Pardoner. Through this juxtaposition, Chaucer points out that the church is ideally a good and proper entity but has over time been tarnished by the greed and misinterpretation of...

...Progress Administration, established by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935, aimed to provide an opportunity for both people and the American economy during a time of great struggle within the United States. What made the Works Progress Administration significant in United States history was the fact that it unintentionally stimulated social reform and progress within American society, even though its main purpose was to create jobs for artists and stimulate economic growth. An analysis of artwork from the Works Progress Administration, reveals that, through the United States’ involvement of creating jobs for artists, social, racial and gender barriers were disseminated, which allowed for progress in American society both economically and socially. After being elected into the presidency in 1932, Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his New Deal to the American people, which addressed the devastating effects of the Great Depression. A number of bills were passed as part of the New Deal that was meant to alleviate the poverty rate, reduce unemployment, and stimulate economic recovery. Historians consider the Works Progress Administration to be one of the New Deal’s major work relief programs, employing over 8.5 million people nationally. The establishment of the New Deal was significant in the history of our country because it was the first time the United States government took responsibility and assisted the American people through such a tough time. Additionally, the New Deal questioned...

...concept on how to innovate can still be applied today. Secondly, the concept introduced in this chapter will be incredibly beneficial for me to build my career, and to be a better individual, later on. And thirdly, the chapter topic “The Dos” really helps me to acknowledge the things that have to be done to be a performer in innovation. Coming from Indonesia that still struggles with poverty and unemployment, I fully realized the need to be innovative, however, I always questions the on how to innovate and this chapter really improved my knowledge to identify the source of innovations and what to do with it. 27-years after the chapter was published, Drucker principles of innovation can still be applied on today’s business environment. Drucker’s explanation on the sources of innovation gave me a different point of view on how to innovate. Prior to reading this chapter, I thought some people, like Steve Jobs, are born with the innovation DNA because I have not understand on how they do it. However, Drucker explains that aside from the “flash of genius”, the purposeful innovation resulting from analysis, system, and hardwork is all that can be discussed and presented as the practice of innovation (Drucker, 1985). The main key to success is not just inspiration, but the practice of systematic innovation within the company. Besides the right strategy, the key to the...

...Rhetorical Analysis of Glass Menagerie The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams is a play about the narrator turned hero named Tom. Tom works at a shoe warehouse and writes poetry in his free time; while also taking on the responsibilities of his family after his father left. The mother Amanda lives in her memories of gentleman callers and parties, while avoiding the reality of her crippled daughter Laura who is in a dream world of little glass animals. Her mother seeing no future for her, she gets Tom to find a bachelor for Laura and invite him to dinner. Instead Tom brings home Jim his employee and also unknown secret idol of Laura’s from high school. Jim gets her from out this dream world, but when he breaks off bad news of him being engaged Laura withdraws for good. Angering the mother and eventually leading to Tom leaving as his father did. In this play Tennessee Williams uses a multitude of symbols. From these symbols, there comes deeper understanding of the relationship between the play’s four characters. The most obvious symbol in this play is Laura’s glass menagerie, representing the world she lives in. Being that this glass menagerie is a representation of Laura’s world. I understood that when Jim bumped into the table and knocked the menagerie over causing it shatter; Laura picking up the pieces then handing it to Jim, showed then that she wanted Jim to be her world/her happiness. Another recurring symbol is that of the fire escape. Each symbol is a concrete...

...native Indians called the island “Quisqueya” meaning the mother of all countries perhaps due to its influence on the rest of islands. The following settlers were cruel to the natives and within fifty years reduced the population of about one million to approximately five hundred habitants. During the 1600s French setters took over the western part of the island but it was later ceded by Spain in 1697 becoming the Republic of Haiti. The Haitians conquered the whole island in 1822 and held it until 1844, when forces led by Juan Pablo Duarte, the hero of Dominican independence, drove them out and established the Dominican Republic as an independent state. Today the island is divided between the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The trend analysis of the gross domestic product indicates that the economy of the Dominican Republic is growing steadily and expanding. The trend of the Dominican GDP also shows a dramatic increase from $6.6 billion dollars in 1980 to a whopping $17.3 billion dollars in the key year of...
