...in U.S. Society Response How policing is in the society of the United States The relationship that the government and the law enforcement agencies, policing in society share is that the government makes up the laws. That people in society have to go by, to protect them and others from criminal acts that take place in the communities and the United States. Then they share the laws they made up to law enforcement agencies so when he or she is policing they are knowledgeable, of the new and old laws that they will uses in the field. They will understand how to use them correctly so they can protect people in society, and the country in know how to use it right to be fair with the law in society and U.S. as well. Which is stated by Gary Cordner, and Kathryn Scarborough on the site of www.hsaj.org that says" It was understood that federal laws, state laws, secrecy provisions, and security clearances all affect what can be shared in different situations. Also, it was presumed that most local police had longstanding communication channels with state and federal law enforcement (whether effective or ineffective), but not with intelligence agencies or the military."The relationship between the government, local, and state law enforcement agencies is very good within the community and United States with policing. Its helping them keep the criminal activity in the community, and United States away and bringing down the crime rate in the United States and society...

...PAKISTANI WOMEN: RELIGION, STATE AND SOCIETY Much has been written in the international press in recent years concerning the difficulties facing Pakistani women today. Islam itself stresses that women have significant freedoms and rights and the Pakistani constitution guarantees equal treatment for all of its citizens. Pakistan has signed many United Nations treaties guaranteeing the equality and fair treatment of women. But the reality is very different. Most women in Pakistan face a hostile male-dominated environment where they have little or no choice in their lives and face the prospect of harsh violence directed against them. Some international journalists have written that Pakistan is one of the most dangerous places anywhere for women. The reason for this tragedy is that archaic tribal customs and attitudes remain a dominant force in many areas of the country. Pakistan was expressly created as an Islamic state, but many Pakistanis have not followed Islamic teachings concerning the treatment of women. The teachings of Islam provide full protection and security for women, but many Pakistani women are suppressed and victimized by their own family members. Although there are clear provisions both in Islam and in the 1973 Pakistani constitution to provide respect, safety and equal rights for women, Pakistan remains a male-dominated society where women still struggle to achieve their basic rights. Male officials in Pakistan can point to the nation’s constitution...

...thinkers and the Native American Societies This essay is trying to seek elements of answer to the question of the absence of state structures in Native American societies in the writing of Lafitau, Jefferson and Locke. It will also deal with the advantages that the Europeans colonists gained from this disorganization. Joseph François Lafitau, a very famous French Jesuit priest made a big contribution in the elements we today have about the period of the American colonization. He is still known today, as the father of anthropology. Lafitau in his famous book Customs of the American Indians compared with the Customs of Primitive Times published in 1724 made a deep study of the customs of the Iroquois (a tribe from North...

...Explain how the role of women in US society changed in the 1920s In the 1920s, the roles of US women changed in many different ways. At the start of the decade, women did not have the same rights as men and it was thought that their only jobs in life were to cook, clean and to please their husband. However, more and more women began to get jobs as the war had left the country’s men in a bad state and the women who had worked throughout the war didn’t want to go back to doing nothing. This meant that they began to earn their own money and for the first time women could become more independent from their husbands. Some women took brought the independency from men to a whole new level. Women called ‘Flappers’ did not marry at a young age (although generally did marry in later life) and supported themselves. They did many things which were looked down upon in that era such as: sex before marriage, smoked and drank in public places and wore short revealing clothes. Despite the fact that flappers helped to change western attitudes to women, there was some criticism surrounding them because there was still a strong conservative element in the American society. Therefore I think that ultimately without the flapper movement women would not have been thought of as being able to take care of themselves but through the flappers choices, 1920s society was proved to that women were just as capable to work for a living and be social just like the...

...Society in the United States an Ever Changing World ETH/125 08/26/2012 Society in the United States an Ever Changing World In the United States we have the ability to come across many different people and be able to learn from one another. In earlier times, we have been able to see how different some people were treated than others, but we are now able to live among one another and try to live peacefully. This is a cycle that will continue to happen as people become more and more tolerable to the differences we all have to bring to the table. This will only become easier with time as we all learn to accept the differences that we bring to the table. The benefits to living in a diverse community and society are that people are able to learn about other cultures and possibly be able to pick up one or more things from one another. When people are not familiar with other cultures or even places around the world they may feel a bit out of place and afraid when they do come to meet them, but this can all be avoided by being a bit more open minded and learn from others. Learning from a Diverse Society I have been taught the idea that everyone is equal, but I have finally found the meaning behind the saying. There had been some confusion in my eyes on whether or not everyone was the same, but in the end I find that we are all the same with different upbringings and possibly different culture. I...

...Matthew Schultz Professor Lupinacci English 101 CRN 30819 3/26/2013 Critical Response 5 Exploration of American Society There are many viewpoints when looking at a society. Most of our judgments given on a society are based off of our own values. This is the case for analyzing the reading for this prompt. After reading the selection, I felt that is was more of an exploration of society along with a critique of American society because of occupation/opportunity, and association. In the story, it talks about how the Chang family came to acquire ownership of a pancake house. The business was very profitable according to the text, causing the Chang family to be up high in the middle class or even upper class of American society. This came to be an occupation for the family. To me this is an exploration of American society because the story is being described from an owner of a restaurant’s point of view. From the father’s perspective, he is practicing what any business owner would practice today. For example, the one section talked about how some of the workers are unsatisfied with their working conditions, consequently he fires them or they leave their job. This is how America works today. If an employee is not performing up to standards, he/she is let go. This can be seen as a critique as well because the owner of the pancake house was asking his employees to perform outlandish requests. One needs to look at the other side as well. If someone is unhappy with their...

...is depicted as the central character of Fred D’auguir novel, the longest memory, the author uses multiple narrators to confront his main concerns upon American society during the slavery era. D’auguir uses the perspectives of multiple narrators to allow his readers to aknowledge the realities involved with slavery and to have a further understanding of the competency for evil that exists in society. D’Aguair has used Whitechapel and his recollections of the past to encapsulate the brutality and cold-heartedness of slavery. His narrative focuses on the phrase ‘…eyes that see without seeing’ to give the reader a cue of the extent to which society enforces its beliefs within people and its effects. Whitechapels response “eyes that see all, mouth that has said nothing but kept silence” indicates that over his lived long time he has finally realized the truth about his enslavement and the extent to which he has been dehumanized which is emphasised in a disgusted tone …”there is blood on my conscience…I don’t want to see any more” and subsequently “I answer to dog”. Whitechapels impression that “a slave can live a good , long life if he worked hard” in order to reciprocate” fairness and kindness from the master” provides reason that white chapel had been misslead all his life due to false hope from the society that surrounds him as he is not treated in the same way where he witnesses the whipping of his own adopted son chapel. Not only has D’auguir used the term ‘seeing’...

...Jacob Tatum English 1302 – XW4 April 19, 2014 Professor Lee Exploring the Consumer Society: The Urge to Splurge I grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in McKinney, Tx. The high school I went to, McKinney High School, had students in attendance whose parents were on government assistance, students whose parents were in the top 10% of the top 1% financially and everywhere in between. Consider this, if you took a group of randomly selected students from my high school and your goal was to estimate their household income based upon the value of their possessions (phone, clothes, jewelry, shoes, etc...) you'd most likely get it all wrong. This is because it doesn't matter where you come from, how much money you have, or what you look like; you're a customer, you're a consumer. We live in a society today and I went to a high school where people are judged based upon their possessions and what they can acquire. It doesn't matter how you acquired it, as long as you've got it. I think that judging people based off of what they own is a huge mistake. I think it's unfortunate we are constantly purchasing things because of a brand or a logo, but at the same time I don't practice what I'm preaching. It's interesting to me that as I begin to think about it, I don't think any of the nice things I own are bringing me happiness right now, they have only provided some form of instant gratification. If someone asked me what I have to be happy about, I'd provide the cliché answer along the...

...BOWIE STATE UNIVERSITY Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States that were established before 1964 with the intention of serving the African American community. They have always allowed admission to students of all races. There are 107 historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the United States, including public and private institutions, community, four-year institutions, medical and law schools. Most were created in the aftermath of the American Civil War and are in the former slave states, although a few notable exceptions exist. Bowie State University is the oldest historically black university (HBCU) in Maryland. The present-day public university, located in suburban Bowie, Maryland, was founded by the Baltimore Association for the Moral and Educational Improvement of Colored People in 1865. Then known as the Baltimore Normal School, the institution’s goal was to train African Americans to become teachers. The Board of Education provided funding and assumed control of the school in 1908. The school relocated to Prince George’s County and received the name Maryland Normal School in 1914. The first four-year programs began in 1935 and the institution became a state college in 1963. The first graduate degree was in 1970 but Bowie State did not receive university status until 1988, when it became one of the first members of the just-established University System of Maryland. The school’s first doctoral...

...Heidi Mann Mrs. Bredeson English ІV 9 January 2013 Puppy Mills There are a countless number of problems facing our society today. People place them into different groups according to how important they believe the topic is. At the top of some peoples list would be topics like obesity, hunger, and pollution, but what about the topic of puppy mills. Do people realize how big of a problem puppy mills are? I don’t think they do. Even though puppy mills are not at the top of everyone’s world problems list they are a big problem facing our society today. Most people have an idea about what a puppy mill is, but they don’t know to exact definition of what a puppy mill is and what takes place there. A puppy mill is an inhumane, dog-breeding facility where the health of all the dogs is disregarded in order to have fewer expenses and have a higher profit. What does that really mean though? It means that the dogs are kept in cages their whole life, feed and watered the bare minimum, and never get vet or any medical treatment for anything. According to McHugh-Smith, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, “Lots of times the animals aren’t properly vaccinated, are unhealthy, are too young, or are out in the sun all day” (Stephans). When dogs are kept in cages outside all day to fend for themselves in whatever weather they can get sick, get overheated, or even die from the heat or cold, but we have to ask our selves is it better to keep them caged in a dark...

...Chandler Gore Writing 121 Sean Crouch 6 December 2013 Euthanasia in Animal Shelters Animal shelters were non-existent until the late 1800’s but now every year in the United States six to eight million dogs and cats enter animal shelters and three to four million of them are euthanized. Of all the animals that enter animal shelters, only 15.8 percent of dogs and two percent of cats get reunited with their owner. Unnecessary deaths of animals occur because their population is growing rapidly due to breeders and illegal puppy mills. Also, the public doesn’t understand the importance of sterilizing their pets by spaying or neutering them. Most animal shelters have become more humane about the way they euthanize the animals at their shelter, but there are still hundreds of shelters that use inhumane ways to euthanize animals such as electrocution and decompression. Buying an animal from a shelter instead of from a breeder will decrease the population of the animals, which will result in less animals getting euthanized. Some people might argue that animal shelters are a staple for our economy because they can keep the rates of animals under control. Animal shelters do house hundreds of animals at once, and only keep the ones that they think are best fit for adoption and euthanize sick and injured animals. Without animal shelters, there would be a lot of unnecessary pain and illness of animals on the street. Shelters are a place where people can bring their pet if it...

...World History I – Final Question #1 #1 Bentley and Ziegler state that dar-al-Islam became probably “the most prosperous and cosmopolitan society in the postclassical world.” What does this statement mean? What evidence is there for this statement? Do you agree or disagree, and why? Prosperity of Dar-al-Islam Islam itself was transformed over time as the Islamic armies extended the boundaries of the empire beyond the borders of Arabia. Each territory conquered was influenced by the Islamic religion and politics. This enlarged sense of community and grand the scale of the Islamic Empire came to be known as Dar-al-Islam or the “house of Islam” referring to all lands under Islamic rule. Although the Muslims took over conquered territories they did not alter the social structures of the previous empires and many were allowed to continue to practicing their religions as well. The Local Muslim governors were appointed and continued rely on established governments and economic systems. This system of governing promoted the fusion between the conquered societies and the Islamic religion and its politics. Take the Sasanid Dynasty for example, Muslims left in charge adopted the Persian techniques of government and finance (p.260). These transformations were not only political and economic but cultural as well. The blending of policies and technologies throughout the empire increased all facets of the Islamic economies such as overland and maritime trade as well as banking (p.270)...

According to Crede & Mansell (1998), ICTs are crucially important for sustainable development in developing countries. Thioune (2003) notes that for the past two decades most developed countries have witnessed significant changes that can be traced to ICTs. These multi-dimensional changes have been observed in almost all aspects of life: economics, education, communication, and travel. In a technologydriven society, getting information quickly is important for both sender and receiver. ICTs have made it possible to quickly find and distribute information. Thoiune (2003) indicates that many initiatives have taken at the international level to support Africa's efforts to develop a communication infrastructure and. These efforts are designed to enable African countries, including Nigeria, to find faster ways to achieve durable and sustainable development. Helmut (1998), cited by Akpore (1999), states that of the technological changes that have influenced our lives in recent years, information technology (IT) has had the greatest impact...

...Yahoo.news.com. International society (vs. int'l system): both are side by side however, states can be members of the international system but not the same international society. In an international society, Hedley Bull stated that states share a certain common interest that can lead to a common set of rules. For Bull any type of society needs to have rules about restraints on the use of force, about the sanctity of agreements, and about property rights. Without elements of these three there would be no society. International society involves mutual obligations between states and the international system considers contact and interactions between states. States can be part of the same international system but not part of international society o Example: Persians and the Greeks o Example: Ottoman Empire and Turkey Domestic pre-conditions for society exist and cooperate is: 1. Placing constraints on violence 2. Respect for property 3. Ensuring agreements International Pre-conditions for International society to exist and cooperate is: 1. Placing limitations and rules on the use of force a state can use 2. Respect of borders and territories 3. Agreements being becomes translated into Treaties Institutions of International Society: 1) balance of power: its IR’s main concern.

...Contemporary Context As the dominant intelligent being on earth, the human society has evolved to increasingly sophisticated yet convenience-oriented faction of the earth’s population. The various challenges that faced ancient man have been decimated significantly by the modern progresses. These developments are somewhere along the estimations of Huxley in his book “Brave New World” despite its futuristic setting, 600 years from now. The similarity of his fictional society to the current world is worryingly accurate, let alone the concerns that he claims to plague the society at the time. Furthermore, the increasingly liberal nature of the modern society is akin to that of the future described by Huxley,...
