...Female criminals are often overlooked given the perception that they’re ladies, mothers and caregivers so it makes it hard for women to act in such deviant ways. In all reality women can be the most dangerous and intelligent criminals in the world. It is hard to believe because many women in all societies have the role of either a wife, mother, caregiver. So when we hear or women criminals especially the ones who’ve committed a heinous crime we as people often question or assume it or have an excuse to back up that women’s criminal act. For example a women who kills her husband of fifteen years, most people would assume she was abused in some sort of way and that was her reason. According to (Siegel, 2011) the social process can often serve as an explanation to criminal behavior. There are a few theories that discuss and go into depth of the reason female criminals act and behave even think the way that they do. Those two theories are social learning theory and the social reaction (labeling theory). Female criminals are often taking out their previous problems in life on their current situations and turn those problems into forms of crime. Personal, family and their social backgrounds often intertwine with the reason they do and act the way they may. Family relationships and their past are considered a main determinate of a person’s behavior. The social learning theory states that the crime is a product of learning the norms, values and behaviors that are often associated...

...nature. Conservation is not only focus on the profits but also need the economic interests for long-term development. First of all, there is the destruction of ecosystem. The eco-tourism industry, which is growing rapidly, has emerged as one of the most important sectors of the international tourism industry, making up 7 percent of the world tourism market. In the Asia-Pacific region alone, eco-tour operators report growth rates of 10 percent to 25 percent a year. Demand for quality eco-tourism destinations will continue to grow as urban congestion, pollution, crowding, and concern for the natural environment all increase. (Jonathan Nash, April 2001). That means when the industry was growing quickly, it affected and destroyed the environment and ecosystem directly. Government focused on the economic development policy and land development. When there are increased a large number of industry, it reflects there must have air pollution to affect the resorts of animals and the quality of the air. In the past 15 years, sea shores, coral reefs, forests, and other environments are affected from pollution by the mass eco-tourism industry.“Almost half of all...

...Ethics Case Study February 18, 2015 Coca-Cola began in 1886 when Atlanta pharmacist Dr. John Pemberton created a flavored syrup to be sold at soda fountains in Atlanta. After many years on the market Coca – Cola has become the world’s number one selling sparkling beverage. (Coca-Cola, 2015) To protect their brand their recipe has become a closely guarded secret. While competitors have attempted to duplicate their formula they have not come close which is why Joya Williams was aggressively prosecuting when she was caught attempting to sell trade secrets to their rival Pepsi Co. She was caught on camera taking top secret documents as well as samples of upcoming Coca-Cola products and placing them in her purse. It was also alleged that she wrote a letter to Pepsi Co. offering them the Coca-Cola trade secrets for a price of $1.5 million. The jury at trail initially was deadlocked however, under further review they found her guilty and she was sentenced to eight years in prison. The critical issues at hand are that the she violated the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as Coca-Cola keeps their secret recipe offsite in a bank vault. (Cheeseman, Pg. 396) She attempted to infringe upon their secrets for her own personal gain. She misappropriated the secret documents and samples as a result committing industrial and economic espionage. The stakeholders in this case are the employees of Coca-Cola, Pepsi Co. as well as the general public. If Pepsi Co. purchased the...

...Amistad: Film and the book. After watching the film Amistad and read the book of this story, I feel like they are both valuable to study the history of America in 1840s. Meanwhile, from my point of view, the book is more academical than the movie while the movie can give you a quick idea about what is really going on in the story and you can feel the story more directly than the book. Now, let’s compare them in different aspects. 1.What can the student more readily learn from the film as opposed to the book? After watching the movie, the first thing that I feel different from the book is the mood that those actors behaved were really shocking. From the movie, we can directly feel the eager of those black people whom lead by Cinque want to regain...

...phenomenon. Psilocybin (magic mushrooms), peyote, & mescaline (extracted from the peyote cactus) have been dated back thousands of years to ancient Indian religious ceremonies; that still continue to go on till this very day. An archeological excavation in Mexico uncovered ancient writings, preserved by lava, that indicate the use of hallucinogens as long as four thousand years ago. Hallucinogens are nothing new at all. Hallucinogenic drugs, especially LSD, were prominent in the hippie culture of the 1960s & 1970s, but their popularity declined during the 1980s, giving rise to harder drugs such as cocaine & heroin. In 1972 it was reported that five percent of our nation, mostly under the age of eighteen, had experimented at least once with LSD. In 1974 that number had leapt to seventeen percent, & by 1979 the numbers went up to twenty-five percent. These numbers dropped as heroin and cocaine gained popularity in the 1980’s, but in the 1990’s the popularity of LSD grew once again. In 1992 nine percent of high school seniors had experimented with LSD. By 1996 that number had rose to thirteen percent & in 2000 dropped to eleven percent. Acceptance of this drug had clearly risen as well. In 1991 ninety percent of high school students disapproved of even a single experimentation. By 1996 that number had dropped to eighty percent. As was the case in the sixties and seventies, the primary users were young white men and...

...Racial Disparity and the Death Penalty Jeanine Clark PHI 103 Namoi Sanderovsky July 2, 2012 Penalty Racial Disparity and the Death Penalty We should, generally, want fairness in all areas of public policy. We should especially want fairness with regard to the death penalty, since the stakes are so high. Yet the opponents of the death penalty make a most peculiar argument about fairness. They argue that if the death penalty is not administered fairly, and especially not administered with racial fairness, it must be abolished. Nobody would even think of trying to apply this principle in a consistent way. If we find that black neighborhoods get less police protection than white neighborhoods, would we withdraw cops from both black and white neighborhoods? If banks are discriminating against black home buyers in mortgage lending, would we demand they stop all mortgage lending? If we find the IRS discriminating against middle-class and poor taxpayers, would we want to abolish the IRS? The first question, of course, is whether the death penalty is administered unfairly. Among right-thinking, politically correct people, the phrase “racial unfairness” is a mere tautology. It is difficult to imagine that anything in American society is administered with racial fairness. But, in fact, the opponents of capital punishment have both a “mass market” version of the racial disparity argument and a “specialist” version, and the two versions are flatly...

...Circuits of African Art/ Paths of Wood: Exploring an Anthropological Trail Before reading this article I researched Paul Stoller, in effort to get a better understanding of who he is and to also get a better understanding of the origin and nature of his works. In doing so I found out that Paul Stoller is an anthropologist was has been conducting research for about 30 years. His studies of West African immigrant in New York started in 1992, which has resulted in involving topics like the cultural dynamics of informal market economies and politics of immigration. His work has resulted in 11 publications which are widely read and recognized. ("Anthropology & Sociology) In this article Paul Stoller investigates the effects that evolution has on African Art. He starts with a scene set at The Ney York International Tribal Antiques Show at the Seventh Regent Armory on Park Avenue. As he highlights that African Art has been altered in the way the Western World perceived the art to be, he continues to provide evidence that indeed economic and social forces of globalization has changed the world of art. “There is a vast and varied literature on the social and economic impact of the globalization. Several analysts argue that globalization has fundamentally altered the nature of cultural processes, political dynamics and social interaction.” (Stoller 209) After reflecting on this statement, I believe that the Western World interpretation of the art may have predicted the way in...
