...career field is so broad and complex it has a position for every different type of individual. The position that I choose to summarize is the US border patrol, this is the position that I have the most interest in and would like to know more about. The United States Border Patrol, a federal government agency, frequently works with the Departments of Border Protection and Customs. It conducts operations under the supervision of the Department of Homeland Security. The Border Patrol is primarily responsible for protecting the nation's borders from drug smuggling and illegal crossings. When illegal border crossings are detected, Border Patrol agents are responsible for apprehending illegal immigrants. Because large quantities of drugs are smuggled into the U.S. through the border, Border Patrol agents also conduct operations to seize illegal drugs. Likewise, since terrorists have attempted to enter the U.S. via the border, Border Patrol agents are now involved with counter-terrorism. Demand is currently very high for qualified Border Patrol agents. The Border Patrol is the law enforcement division within the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, and it acts under the direction of the Department of Homeland Security. It was established by the U.S. Congress in 1924 to address illegal immigration. Prior to the establishment of the Border Patrol, the Bureau of Immigration was responsible for enforcing immigration law. The Border Patrol was primarily established to stop human smuggling...

...Jesus Rosendo Criminal Justice B1 Professor Roberto Sanchez April 9, 2015 “The DEA” It is widely accepted among the law enforcement community that drugs are the catalyst for the majority of crimes that are committed. With the growing war on terror erupting ever so violently it is shifting attention away from another equally important war; the war on drugs. Americans use drugs everyday from the common prescription pills that your doctor prescribes all the way down to the more destructive drugs such as cocaine and heroine. Drugs are here to stay and its never going to go away because as the saying goes when you chop the head off of one dealer two more grow. Drugs are a big business and as long as greed exists there is always going to be a plethora of people trying to push this into countries, especially America, it is at this moment perhaps the largest consumer of drugs on earth. Therefore it is absolutely critical that the law enforcement of the United States stay one step ahead of this growing enterprise in order to mitigate the dangerous effects that is has on society such as addiction, murder, and prostitution to name a few. Among the many agencies tasked with the responsibility of combating this threat is the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency or (DEA). Most people are familiar with this organization by popular television shows such as “Cocaine Cowboys”, but these programs although entertaining do not do justice...

...Microaggressions in Everyday Life Chinese people consist of the majority—Han and other 55 ethnic minorities, such as Hui, also called Muslim Chinese. Han and Hui have different living customs. For example, Hui are forbidden to eat pork while pork is the most common meat consumed by Han. In my high school, there were two dinning rooms: a big one for Han students, and the other small one for Hui students. I had dinner with my friend-Qian, who was Hui, but stayed with me in Han Chinese dinning room on that day. I enjoyed my pork dish, and wanted to share it with her but she refused. Qian explained, “I am Hui people, we do not eat pork.” I did not give up and said, “Come on, I have known you for ages, we are the same, we are all Chinese people. I can not see any differences.” My friend began to keep silent, and I kept persuading her, “just try one slice of the pork, they are really delicious”. However, my friend frowned and said “I can not eat it. The smell of the pork makes me sick”. After hearing her words, I stopped persuading her to eat pork because I did not want to make her uncomfortable. Then we began to talk other topics. I was unaware that what I committed was a microaggression at that time. Microaggressions are verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional happening in daily life, conveying communicating hostile, derogatory,...

...word “Socialization” in reference to the process through which an individual inherits the norms, customs and ideologies of the social order they live in. Socialization is necessary for making an individual capable of interacting within the society and a society itself shares the common values, customs, norms, traditions languages etc. Socialization is the process whereby the helpless infant gradually becomes a self-aware, knowledgeable person, skilled in the ways of the culture into which she or he is born. Socialization is not a kind of ‘cultural programming’, in which the child absorbs passively the influences with which he or she comes into contact. Socialization is a lifelong process by which one keep learning and developing oneself as a human being. Socialization process is very important as it teaches one to behave in a society. Without socialization, one would not be able to learn the accepted customs, norms, symbols, languages and behaviours. Socialization helps one develop and shape one’s place by learning social skills. Socialization in a layman’s sense is the process of learning from others. This learning process starts right after birth or after the emergence from the womb. It is Socialization that fills the tabula raza mind we come into existence with. Socialization technically starts at the early stages of life, this learning process continues all through life in most people, unless some physical disability or mental infirmity ceases or stops the learning...

...Warraich 260184828 Economics 316 As I waited in my front porch for the arrival of most extinguished group of guests yet, I knew that these people do love a good dose of intellectual conversation but nothing puts a stamp of approval more than one’s life style, his interest and how he serves both these in tangible forms. I stared off towards my house’s main gate that was to open at any time and let in a series of limousines and at the same time thought of the items in my house that will be of mist interest to the arriving guests. My Brazilian Big-Leaf Mahogany, The beautiful Macow Parrot in its solid gold cage, the antique vase from ancient Babylonian times and off course a bottle of wine that would knock even Donald Trump’s socks off. There is however a touch of dirtiness to the acquisition of these items and as I think back it brings a nervous yet satisfying smile to my face. My method of acquiring, smuggling and authenticating these banned and in some cases fine copies of valuable objects relied on my understanding of how foreign customs worked, identifying the loopholes that could be taken advantage of and a comprehension of the underground market. I have always been an admirer of Brazilian Big-Leaf Mahogany and was prepared to go the distance in order to acquire the desired amount. I discovered via my research that most of this mahogany in Brazil...

...mandatory precedent if he thinks that the mandatory precedent is not related to the case before him. From this, an original precedent is formed. Persuasive precedent is a precedent which is useful or relevant to a case. It is not mandatory for the judges to apply persuasive precedent. Persuasive precedent may be binding on lower courts if judges of superior court choose to apply persuasive precedent. Precedents are the decisions made by judges previously in similar circumstances. It is generally recognized that judges do make law though not in the same manner as the legislature. Judges make law by applying an established rule or principle to a new situation or a set of fact.
