...judges are giving Community Service Sentences instead of imprisonment for Minor Non-Violent Crimes. Will this be good for the society in the long run? Offences that are defined as Minor Non-Violent Offences are those that are against the law but are not usually viewed as serious enough to be taken to the court if done once or twice (Notton, 2010). An example of non violent offence is burglary or motor vehicle theft. Community Service is an alternative of imprisonment imposed by the Court for minor non violent crimes. Community service is an unpaid work for the criminal so that he can repay the debt to the society for committing the offense (An tSeirbhis Phromhaidh The Probation Service, n.d.). Community service can also be a job for which any particular individual can volunteer for. An example of a community service is cleaning up the environment. Giving community service sentences instead of imprisonment for minor non-violent crimes would be good for the society in the long run because the criminal will get a second chance in life, it will reduce the burden on the prison system and society will benefit from community service. However individuals may take advantage of the system by taking too long to complete their community service work, although people might try to take advantage, if the work is done slowly then the criminals will be severely punished. Everybody makes mistakes, while others don’t bother to make it right, some people want a second chance at life which means...

...cruel and unusual punishment towards juvenile life without parole is one that needs to be addressed. The facts stated earlier in this paper have given more than enough reason to abolish life without parole sentences for juveniles. It has been argued in Graham v. Florida that because juveniles have a weak capacity to comprehend their behavior and actions, the punishment of life without parole might not be an effective deterrent from engaging in criminal conduct. Some states have already abolished juvenile mandatory life without parole as they have all found it to be cruel and unusual punishment. Many groups and advocates against life without parole for juveniles have seen this as a step in the right direction,...

...Do Inmates Deserve a Second Chance? Cari Adee, James Crooms, Latandra Sain, Taylor Cotter, Rodney Henry, Breanna Johnson, Latonia Pitts BCOM/275 7/20/2014 Do inmates deserve a second chance? Every time that you turn on the news you see it: School shootings, babies being left in the car by parents, people selling and doing drugs, people being murdered, raped and assaulted. According to the inter press services, in the last three decades people that are in prison have increased almost 790 percent, in the last 30 years the inmates count has risen from 25,000 to 219,000 and is still rising at a disrupting rate. The question that we need to ask ourselves is if the people that get out of prison deserve a second chance at a normal life. Everyone has a different opinion on this topic. Some people will agree that once a person serves time for the crime that they committed then they deserve a chance to start over. While others think that those who committed a crime should have thought about their actions before they did the things that they did. This paper will not just go over to the pros of why inmates deserve a second chance but the cons as well, in hopes that whoever reads this paper will make their own judgments based on all the information and not just part of the evidence. There are many pros for why a criminal deserves a second chance at life. For instance, many criminals have families that are in need of their assistance, financially, physically, and emotionally. There...

...Organ transplant is when a doctor surgically removes a person’s organ and places it in the recipient’s body. But this can only happen when the donors were agreed to donate their organ or tissue to the recipient. People need organ transplant because it is often the only treatment for end state organ failure, such as heart and kidney failure. This can happen because the person is having an illness or injury and there is no other treatment for it. I strongly believe that it is right to transplant human organs, because organ transplant can save many people lives and it’s a solution to many illnesses. Donating your organs is basically, giving someone a second chance at life. The best thing is that everyone can donate organs at almost any age – anywhere between a newborn baby to 65 years old can donate, whether that person is alive or dying. Organ transplant is more important than many of us realise- for our society. Today millions of people in the world are in need of an organ or tissue transplant....

...Society has often viewed pets, whether it is a dog or a cat, as part of the family and they often get treated like a member of the family. Unfortunately, not all pets arrive at a family’s house under the same circumstances. Many families decide that they want to purchase their pet via a breeder because they feel like they want a purebred dog, as opposed to the dogs that are sitting in shelters for months to even years at a time. Society needs to adjust, as purebred animals will still have a high chance at being bought, but shelter animals have a chance to spend a large chunk of their lives living in hopes that someone will come by and adopt them. Society has long preferred the purchasing of purebred dogs over shelter dogs and for various reasons. The first reason is the predictability of the physical traits in a purebred dog. By breeding two of the same dogs together, it uses a very similar set of genes which means that the traits that are common amongst the parents are going to be common amongst the offspring that they give birth too. A second reason is that people will buy their purebred dogs for the intent to run the dogs through dog shows. Purebred animals are the only kind of animals allowed in dog shows, so therefore by adopting a non-purebred dog; it eliminates all possibility of entering into dog shows. A third reason is that some temperamental traits are predictable in the offspring of purebred dogs. If the parents have similar temperamental behaviors (ex. biting,...

...“Bah, Humbug!” The classical story of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens drew us in and gave us many of the character types and themes that we have today. In this classical story, the reader follows the life of Ebenezer Scrooge and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future as the ghosts try to cure Scrooge’s greedy nature. The modern story that uses the elements in A Christmas Carol is How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. In this modern work, the reader follows The Grinch, a crabby old creature who tries to steal the Who’s christmas spirit and happiness. A Christmas Carol has become such an influential work that modern authors still draw upon the character types, conflicts, and themes found in Dickens’ traditional story. Firstly, there are the character types that are shared between A Christmas Carol and The Grinch. Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Present are at Fred’s Christmas party. Fred and his guests are talking about Scrooge. “‘I am sorry for him; I couldn’t be angry with him if I tried. Who suffers by his ill...

...where it is and is not ethical. Using animals to advance and improve living chances is extremely important. For example, developing the artificial womb for preemies. Most premature babies are just around “22 to 23 weeks old- typically weigh about a pound and have less than a 50 percent chance of survival” (Engelhaupt). This specific development would be very important to families and successful birth rates. By using sheep who’s “lungs develop similarly to humans” (Engelhaupt), we are able to safely test the effectiveness of the womb. Even though they are using animals to test it, it’s still ethical because they have plausible and effective reasoning behind what they’re trying to accomplish. By respectfully using the sheep’s lives we are giving those premature lambs a chance at life, and even the lives of future human preemies. However, despite the beneficial things that come out of testing there are also awful, unethical types of testing that go on. When some of the first “human-animal chimeras were successfully created” (Mott) then allowed to “develop several days in a laboratory dish before scientist destroyed them” (Mott). These actions are extremely unethical because there is no real substance or purpose behind making these creatures. No respect was shown for the animal’s life that was spliced and forged with a human, then killed outright. Even in similar cases some scientist have even tried giving animals human qualities without care for the amount of sacrifices it would require...

...something you really want? In our day to day life we don’t know how the day could go. Losing loved ones is very hard for everyone; especially when there was a chance that they could have been saved. Today’s technology has allowed as that, when one life ends we can give another person a second chance to live by donating our organs. Many people have organ failure and waiting to get a transplant. Unfortunately many of ill people die due the lack of sufficient organ donors. For many reasons and false myths people don’t want to donate their organs. The debate has continued whether people should donate their organs or not after they are dead. The need is constantly growing. People should donate their organs for three reasons. First, donating organ is a social responsibility. There are thousands of people that are waiting to receive organ and many of them die waiting to have a donor. Organ donation helps these patients who might not survive their illness. Once we die our organ is not necessary to us, but if we donate it to someone in need, they will survive their illness and have a second chance to live. For example, someone who has a heart failure can survive, if he gets a matching heart from someone who is dead. Donating organ could help that person get to his normal life. There are far more in need of organ transplant than there are people willing to donate their organ. Donating organ makes a lot of sense no matter what, because one life is already over and there is nothing to...

...The song Change Me by Tamela Mann relates to Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God by Johnathan Edwards due to the fact that both of them discuss of changing your life around. In Edwards poem it states “Thus all you never passed under a great change of heart, by the mighty power of the spirit of Gods upon your souls” (Edwards). This quote is mainly saying that a sinner needs to change their life around and get saved. In Mann’s song it states “Change me oh God, make me more like you, change me oh God, wash me through and through” (Mann). Throughout Mann’s song she continuously asking God to change her and throughout Edwards poem he states how you need to change your life around before it is too late.
