...Residential schools Residential schools represented the greatest form of abuse against the Indians by the government in the name of civilizing and assimilating them into Eurocentric values. This system of industrial schools was modeled along Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania whose intention was to alienate entire generations of Indian children from their language and culture. Indian children were taken away from their parents, relatives, friends, and communities to residential schools where they lost their culture and ability to communicate in the native tongue. This system of residential school has been equated to cultural genocide. The 1876 Indian Act gave the government the responsibility for native education and residential school...

...Are humans too dependent on machines/computers Too Dependent. We have become too dependent on computers for answers, personal interactions, and we spend way too much time on them. Our Children are the product of our Technology.Thirty years ago, 90% of the kids were outside getting oxygen and playing sports. In addition, they were building forts and enjoying life. In this day an age, more than 75% of our children are playing video games and staying indoors. Now, our dilemma is that we are having a weight issue with our children. Child obesity is a growing concern with our nation. If we used the computers for learning and as a tool this issue wouldn't be as big. The sad truth is that people use this great tool for an easy way to get out of face to face interactions with other people. In 10-20 years it is said that there will be a computer smarter than the whole human race alive today. That is a scary future that we don't have to look very far to. Against No. Computers are tools essential for today's lifestyle. The invention of the computer has been effective and efficient. Computers offer a variety of resources from social networking, marketing websites, educational websites, software, databases, and so much more.

...doing studies on inner city schools. In his book, Savage Inequalities”, he looks at, East St. Louis, Illinois, and the struggles the teachers, students, and community have to deal with everyday. He sees lots of problems in the city, but one that stands out most is segregation that still occurs in education. Kozol says, “In each of the larger cities there is usually one school or subdistrict which is highly publicized as an example of “restructured” education; but the changes rarely reach beyond this one example. Even in those schools where some “restructuring” has taken place, the fact of racial segregation has been, and continues to be largely uncontested” (Kozol, 4).” Kozol shows how schools that have supposedly “changed” still have segregation problems that were said to be resolved for years now. No matter how much schools deny it, segregation is still alive. There are facts and real life situations to prove it, but the question is, what factors lead to this problem? How has segregation in schools affected schools and students who go to segregated schools? What ideas or conclusions have been developed to identify this problem? As stated before, one of the most concerning questions we have to ask is, what are the factors that lead to segregation in schools today? One of the biggest answers I found to this question was the topic of residential segregation and its affect on school segregation. Gerald W. Bracey, the author of, “Segregation in Schools and Neighborhoods” from the...

Goeters from their book Real Estate Investment, in real property law, an estate is an interest in land. It is the sum of property rights and/or things affixed to the land, which have a given duration of time (including infinity). An estate is concerned with the land; an ownership is concerned with people. Another definition of Real Estate, according to Dennis J. Mckenzie and Richard M. Betts from their book Essentials of real estate economics 2006 edition, is defined as land, that which is affixed to the land, that which is appurtenant to the land and that which is immovable by law. The ownership of real estate carries certain rights, known as the bundle of rights. The bundle includes the right to use, possess, exclude and dispose. These rights are not absolute; they can be legally modified by private restrictions and government regulations and laws.

...House arrest, residential programs, and balanced probation. House arrest is conducted through an electronic GPS monitoring system that uses an ankle bracelet to send signals directly to the police department. Individuals offered this form of punishment are forced to remain within a specified range of the receiver located at the individual's residence. When the individual moves out of range, the tracking device immediately contacts the police department displaying a violation and officers are sent to apprehend the violator. Residential programs on the other hand, consist of group homes, foster homes, boarding schools, and an apartment-type environment. Juveniles involved in these programs may be provided with counseling, educational-job training opportunities and are usually placed with other juveniles in a family structured setting guided by professional staff members. The balanced probation treatment focuses on teaching the juvenile to take responsibility for his, or her, actions through community-based corrections. Furthermore, each community-based correction is tailored specifically for the individuals needs and the type of offense committed. House arrest allows the juvenile to remain within the community, family members, and continue with any educational and employment the juvenile may be involved with at the present time. Moreover, house arrest is far less expensive than incarceration and those giving this opportunity pay for the services themselves. Residential programs are...
