New York – the prototype of Gotham is saved now - fantastically fast, dangerous to Evil, but kind to all good citizens Batman is ready to defend anyone who is in danger. No one guesses that Bruce Wayne – the famous billionaire, highly educated person who attended courses in the best universities – Sorbonne and Cambridge hides his personality under the mask and costume of a superhero. The guy spent years to travel and to learn martial arts, criminology, gymnastics, escape artistry, fighting skills, chemistry and what not. He had only one aim – to punish killers and BIG Evil. When the boy was 14, he witnessed the murder of his own parents, thus the “revenge” became his goal....

...everlasting effect on the people around us. Stereotypes are one of the easiest ways to make someone feel uncomfortable and out of place. The essays “Black Men and Public Space” by Brent Staples and “Celebrating Nerdiness” by Tom Rogers both show us how the stereotypes we label each other with can affect the people around us. Stereotypes can be very hurtful and misleading. In the essay written by Brent Staples, the author shows us how difficult it is to be a black man in New York City at night. The preconceived notions associated with black men lead people, predominately women, to mistake the main character for a thief, a rapist, and even a murderer. Similarly, the essay written by Tom Rogers sheds light on the conventionalized ideas associated with nerds, or smart kids in school. Rogers explains his enthusiasm to answer questions in class, and his son's ability to name all of the elements...

...Child Study Cynthia Machol ED603 – Human Growth & Development University of New Haven March 28, 2011 Introduction As a future teacher it is important to be able to understand the physical, cognitive, and emotional changes that students are going through. Teachers must be versed in the basis of all areas of development. Teachers have a huge responsibility to give their students a positive, enlightening classroom in which they can blossom physically, cognitively, and emotionally. A teacher that understands their students’ physical development may find it easier to identify a possible cause to a problem a child is having in school. Understanding the stages of cognitive development is of the utmost importance. Knowing a child’s starting point is essential for a teacher so they can plan the right way to help move the child through their zone of proximal development. It is a teacher’s job to promote thinking abilities in their students. By asking higher order questions a teacher will help in their cognitive development. A child’s development of personality and self-esteem is important to not only their schooling, but in their whole life. A teacher can help their students establish this personality and give them multiple ways to develop their sense of self. My purpose in this child study is to be able to analyze an individual child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development and determine how the changes she is going through will affect her learning and behavior. ...

...Module 2, Writing Assignment 2 Essay Questions 1. Why is it helpful to have a topology of corporate crime, what are the main criteria used, and which criteria do you think are the most significant? A topology of corporate crime can be extremely helpful in recording data for evaluation. The separate concepts and dimensions of each topology can narrow an inquiry to a very particular subset of activities, victims and practices. A database search on more information of topologies within this subset of White Collar Crime yielded very few results. The author examines this from two broad categories. accounting for several factors within criminology or social science to allow a better study of the topic, in a more narrow scope. From these typologies, we can also draw numerous scientific values. The author uses the type of activity to study an area. The other typologies include, victims, such as the general public, consumers and employees. Another typology is the size of entity, such as the crime of a major domestic corporation. Thirdly, the product or service involved is another topology. Finally, the nature of the harmful activity. I believe the victim and type of activity are the most significant, because you will most likely have the most data to draw from. Victims will almost definitely report their loss if they suspect foul play; all the while the type of activity will be reported or derived from the victims report. These areas, in my mind, hold for quantitative data...

...and warrior. Alexander was a smart, brilliant man who used his brains when it came down to fighting. Alexander was born in an age of violence, conquest, and civil war. Alexander was born in 356 B.C. in Pella. His father was Phillip the second who ruled all of Macedonia. He was a shrewd king and general who conquered Greece. He stole the reign of Macedonia from his brother’s son. Alexander’s mother was Olympias. She was brilliant yet hot-tempered. Her father was King Neoptoelemus the first of Epirus. Alexander’s sister was Cleopatra (but not the Egyptian queen.) Alexander’s ancestor was a man known as the hero Achilles. Alexander through his life carried a copy of “Iliad.” Phillip taught Alexander that all the Macedonian kings were descendents from the hero Hercules, son of Zeus, and the high god. Alexander’s parents hated each other. Philip had lesser wives and children. One child was Philip Arridaeus who was retarded. The rumor was that Olympias had poisoned the mother of Arridaeus. Olympias once told Alexander that Philip was not his real father. Philip never admitted to it though. Yet he always had made fun of Alexander because of his high voice.

...Government Essay 1 Texas becoming a swing state is an idea that is very scary to the Republican Party. The whole state of Texas has a strong Republican background and does not have a very strong Democratic supporting. This all could change because four of Texas’s major cities like Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio all voted for Obama. A worry for Republicans is that the 4.3 million new residents that have moved into Texas cities have been Latino, black, and Asian. These groups of people are more Democratic and were the ones that voted for Obama. If Texas did become a swing state there would be no chance of another Republican likely ever wining a Presidential election. It would almost be like the Republican Party would not exist and become something of the past. Republicans should not have to worry right now because the Hispanic population only accounts for some of the votes and a lot of them are not registered to vote. Also we should not assume that all the Hispanics are going to vote Democratic. The Republican candidates have been smart enough to know how important the Hispanic community is and works hard to get their votes and have been successful. The Republican candidates have been receiving about 35% of the Hispanic vote which is really good for Republicans and the state. As of right now Republicans have almost 75% of the white vote and it will probably stay that way for quite some time. Texas definitely could become a swing state in the next few elections especially...

...Michael Clark Essay 10 In the business world marketers are what help sell products, whether the product be new or existing, it is there job to sell it. Well-made advertising can be the sole factor in the success of product. To design well-made advertisements companies need to be creative, a good creative collaboration can really skyrocket a product beyond its competitors. Being creative is a skill set that can truly be a tool in a career arsenal. Being a creative person, goes well beyond marketing, especially important in engineering. When companies work closely with marketers and creative firms a beautiful collaboration can happen. This idea starts with reference to our last writing assignment when we discussed the importance of team work, that whole concept applies here. Creative firms are generally filled with enthusiastic people whose ideas are well beyond reality; however these are the ideas that spark realistic ones. Marketers know the market, they know the target audience and how to get the point across but without creativity ads would be extremely boring. We see ads all day every day; whether it be the television or the paper everything is loaded. Because of this we are exposed to the “boring” ads, as well as the entertaining ones. The country just passed election 2012; regardless of who we voted for the most important part is the ads are gone. The television gets bombarded by political ads that are not creative and very boring, how many people actually say “gee...

...In this essay, I will argue that Plato’s suggestion of diminishing families by having the Guardians take away and raise the children of the city is in fact, unjust. The point that Plato is addressing seems unfair to the citizens that reside in the city. It also seems a little unnecessary. First Aristotle critiques Plato’s argument by stating that when children are raised by the community, they will not be taken care of because “what is common to many is taken least care of.”1 Plato’s reasoning behind the Guardians raising children is that it helps the society remain Just. However, Plato does not realize the downfalls of this decision. Such downfalls include citizens wondering whom their ancestors and relatives are as well as a lost sense of family ties and ownership. These types of relationships can help the city grow more than Plato anticipates. Family relationships also help strengthen relationships with friends. Having a family creates a sense of pride and ownership for those in the family. Without a family to look out for, one’s sense of self-worth diminishes. If the city wants to flourish, they must start at the family level. Plato does not realize this. Therefore, he removes the sense of family and property ownership and as a result, the idea of creating a Utopia is nearly impossible. In an egalitarian society, having a family and fellowship promotes gains in society. Self-worth is promoted when individuals have these bonds and a family to provide for. This...

It all started out when Phillis was bought by John Wheatley as a personal servant for his wife , Sussanah. Then, they had named her Phillis Wheatley, and they educated her. She became very smart, but she wasn't able to interact with the Wheatley's, neither was she able to interact with the other slaves.

...History Essay Contrasting the Proposals of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois United States History 1828 - 1914 Instructor Stewart King Clackamas Community College February 7, 2012 Accommodation vs. Integration In March of 1895, Booker T. Washington delivered his now famous Atlanta Compromise Speech. In brief, Washington proposed that blacks accept segregation and focus on getting jobs rather than demanding equality. He also proposed that blacks concentrate on learning trades and how to work with their hands – not necessarily in becoming book smart. Perhaps even more central to his message, Washington argued that if blacks focused on equality they would never make it anywhere in society. In short, Washington’s policy was one of accommodation and not rocking the boat. (Washington) Washington was very clear about what he felt black intentions should be, stating that blacks should only be seeking opportunity – not for the right to integrate with white society. He wanted white society to see the good in all black people, and not as a threat to their way of life. Eight years later, W.E.B. offered a critique of Washington’s proposal. While DuBois respected Washington as a black leader, he felt that his policy of accommodation was holding back the black race. Contrary to Washington, DuBois felt that "the right to vote," "civic equality," and "the education of youth according to ability" were essential for African American progress. (DuBois) ...
