...read and watch about Jodi Arias Case. Jodi killed her ex- boyfriend or most likely her "friends with benefits" under jealousy, obsession, love, lust, and hate. Jodi Arias, had a tough past and was treated badly due to her aggressive and violent behavior towards few of friends and parents. Well that's what her parents stated on the interview with the Mesa Police. Not only did she had weird behavior toward her parent's but towards her boyfriends, and Travis's friends , like Sky and Chris Hudges. After a few months knowing Jodi a lot of people noticed her strange behavior, which was fearing and terrifying. In my opinion Jodi was and is a women who as problems with her behavior, in other words she is Bi-polar, but she is also a women who knows from right and wrong. She planned and knew what she was doing was wrong. I mean if she was crazy as she pleads she would've acted under range and hate, she wouldn't had made Travis go to the shower and pose for the camera and taken action while Travis wasn't looking and knowing what she had planned for him. Another thing she wouldn't had changed the scene and tried to get rid of the evidence and tried to make it look like she never was there with Travis. I mean on my opinion a crazy mentally ill person wouldn't had so much time to think of such a crime like the once she did. I mean a person with all senses is able to plan all this especially one that has so much hate towards someone. In my opinion I believe Jodi Arias needs to be put to death...

...Analysis of the Homicide Trial of Jodi Arias By Robert Davis Professor Lauren Burke CCJS 100 6382 University of Maryland University College March 8, 2013 Robert Davis Professor Burke CCJS 100 March 8, 2013 Analysis of the Homicide Trial of Jodi Arias The criminal justice system ensures the safety and protection of society from criminal offenders. The process of the criminal justice system begins when a criminal offense is reported to law enforcement officials. If required, an investigation begins, leading to a warrant and arrest. Following the arrest, bail is set and a preliminary hearing is scheduled. If the defendant is indicted, a trial date is set. Providing the defendant does not waive the right to a jury trial, a jury is selected and the trial begins. If the defendant is found guilty, a sentence is imposed, usually within a few days of the jury’s verdict. If the defendant wishes, he or she can then appeal the guilty verdict and sentencing, thus beginning the trial process again. Police officers, detectives, prosecutors, and defense attorneys make great efforts to ensure justice is served swiftly and fairly, thus creating a strong and effective criminal justice system.

...Inside the Little Mermaid by:Brandie Tittsworth Jm0300776 When I young, I liked to pretended I was Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I hopelessly dreamt of finding my prince charming. I sang and danced to the songs, and loved the thought of the castle in the ocean, or a secret cave with items from shipwrecks. Watching the same story later in life with my own children I can without a doubt say that Ariel could be a role model for not only me but my daughter also in the way she stays true to who she is. Her character is one of open-mindedness, strength and abundant love. Throughout her story, Ariel is faced with opposition and obstacles that force her to define and think about who she is. King Tritan and the rest of the water creatures try to push and mold Ariel into what they feel is "customary." The story of The Little Mermaid is one of Ariel defying the idea of what is right, what is normal, and what is supposed to be. A significant way of social interpellating an individual is by ostracizing the union or marriage between people with noticeable differences. Society praises when the usual path is chosen, whether it is a marriage between woman and man, or the relationship between two people of the same race. The central motif or theme of The Little Mermaid, which appears in many children's stories, is that of two people of different backgrounds overcoming obstacles and falling in love. Ariel, a mermaid, and...

...We define conflict as a disagreement through which the parties involved perceive a threat to their needs, interests or concerns. Every individual is unique and that very uniqueness will lead to conflicts in our relationship. You are in the middle of a conflict and resolution seems imminent, however, each time you approach the summit, the process stalls or goes into reverse. Why is this so? There are several factors that can delay or hinder the resolution process. The first one is Negative body language. A 'closed' posture (arms strapped across the chest), shaking one's leg, shaking one's head, tapping the floor with one's foot, sighing and grunting are all negative and do not help the process. Some men will apologise prematurely to get the woman 'to shut up' because 'I can't take the whole heap a argument'. This ploy may also be due to impatience. Some women will feign agreement while harbouring resentment and when the man thinks the hatchet is buried, the next conflict reveals that it was not buried deep enough. There may be times when there is a need to walk away from the conflict to prevent its escalation and to gather one's thoughts, but the decision to walk away must be thought out carefully as it could become a hindrance. On the flip side, persons may remain at the scene, but stew in silence. Besides that, Constant interruptions also can hinder conflicts resolution. If persons are serious about resolving conflicts, then there must be a concerted effort to allow the other...

...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...

...This first image was found at www.golfwrx.com website, the sign has misspelled word and the sign needed re-wording. There were words missing in this sentence. This sign should have put a period instead of a comma. My sign would have gone like this: When using the copy machine please do not put any items on it to avoid breakage. Thank you for your cooperation This sign can misinterpreted and the copy machine can still be broken, by the sentence saying heavy item, what about the smaller or lighter items that can jam the copy machine. The person who wrote this sign should have checked it first, this poor judgment of management. The second image was found at www.coriromashkina.blogspot.com website, the sign has misspelled word and the phrase should be rewritten. My version would have gone like this: The Town of Crestwood, in this town we speak English but if you don’t speak English your still welcome in this Town. This was a big mistake by the mayor’s office he should have not permitted it to be written in the first place and put up for all to see. This sign is very racist towards minorities. Personally I would have not have put something like that up, it is very rude. The third image was found at www.huffingtonpost.com, this is an advertising sign for food that is sold at an eatery.

...Why do we need to speak English? Is it really important for us to learn and speak English? The answer is definitely “YES” as English is a universal language. Speak well in English is the ticket for the employment. Studies also show that people who have advanced knowledge in English mostly will obtain better jobs. They even will get higher pay and also do well in their social life. Job interview is the first step for you to get a job. For jobs that offer high salaries, there sure will have higher competition. So, even you are qualified for that job but you do not do well in the interview, it will also forbid you from the success. Speak well in English will definitely increase your confidence during the interview and you can also express yourself well from the others who have the same qualification with you but cannot speak well in English. Therefore to make yourself marketable or superior to the other people in your work place, it is important for us to speak well in English. Nowadays, English is prominent in education. Good oral communication can help you to acquire knowledge more effectively especially when you want to ask question, express opinion and ideas, summarize information, and provide feedback. Besides that, all the information that we obtain from the books, internet and news are mostly in English. Even universities in our country use English to teach most of the subjects. Our thesis presentation at the university is mostly done in English; therefore we need to...
