...What this case is about is when Bridget Mergens wanted to get a religious club in her Public High School for everyone. When the Principal said no they couldn’t make the religious club, that is when it lead to the Supreme court. The reason why this case went to the Supreme court was because the school denied the idea of having a club that included any religious studies because apparently it was “illegal” for them to having anything that had to do religion, therefore when the students rights of freedom of religion were broken, Bridget Mergens went to the Congress and the issue was addressed to the Equal Access Right. Then that is when the case actually went to the Supreme court, and that's when the decision was made. When the case was almost...

...Farah English 3 Part 2: Why gun ownership should be held more strictly: I, Omar Farah, certify that I have personally completed this assignment based on my own personal efforts. I understand if I use outside sources, I must properly give my source(s) credit using the APA format and my paper should not include more than 20% of direct quotes from other sources. I understand if I do not provide proper credit to outside sources, I will be documented for plagiarism and be required to resubmit a new assignment. I will not divulge the content of this assignment or any of my work, generally or specifically, to any current or future James Madison High School students. 1/4/2015 I chose the topic “Why gun ownership should be held more strictly” because most of our daily news flashes say at least someone was shot and killed or shot and injured. I don’t like this; it is senseless and very sad. We are losing people every day, because someone is using their gun recklessly or leaving it where someone else has access or easily found. I don’t get why people kill people it is just inhumane and against our morals. Guns have very high danger to our country as well as other countries. That is why I pick or chose to write about this topic for my persuasive essay because that is what I see in guns and want people to see it too. I have one question to my reader; do you think guns should be under a stricter law? Honestly, I believe that we should have more stringent gun laws that tell people; that...

...Professional Interview I chose to interview Deputy Sheriff Michelle M. Willcuts. As a second choice, I chose Deputy Kristal Minor. Both Deputies are full time sworn law enforcement officers from the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s office in Yorktown, Virginia. The reason why I selected Deputy Willcuts for my interview is because she was born in another country, and as me, English is her second language. Another reason why I selected to interview a Deputy Sheriff is because that is one of my career choices once I get out of the military. I visited the web page where the professional that I am interviewing works for “York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office”, I was excited to find out that the department has a Forensic Science unit, hostage negotiation team, emergency response team, crime prevention team, support the D.A.R.E. program, drug task unit, and a crime investigation unit. I would like to work for any of these units. I obtained this information from the department’s web page http://www.yorkcounty.gov/Default.aspx?tabid=4611 List of Interview Questions 1) How long have you been in the Criminal justice field? R. 9 years 2) What are your duties and responsibilities? R.

...Dorothy Scroggins GM520 - Week 2 Assignment Administrative Law Assignment SEP10 1. State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? I chose the Department of Public Safety, Division 45: Missouri Gaming Commission, Chapter 5: Conduct of Gaming. One of the many benefits Casinos love to share is that money from their profits will go to a public school fund. 2. Describe the proposal/change. The Gaming Commission is proposing an amendment to 11 CSR 45-5.051, Minimum Standards for Blackjack. The amendment will allow a floor supervisor (Pit-Boss) may direct the dealer to shuffle the cards after any round of play is completed and all wagers have been resolved. It won’t affect me directly but depending on how the Pit-Boss uses this internal control method, it could help or harm the Fund that is generated for Public Schools. Shuffling the cards in the middle is a deck is used to stop the current momentum. If the player(s) at the table are hot then this can break a streak that is cutting into the Casino’s profits. In this case it’s a win for the Public School Fund. 3. Write the public comment which you would submit to this proposal. If the proposed regulation deadline has already passed, write the comment you would have submitted. Explain briefly what you wish to accomplish with your...

...110 Melinda S. Tharp I feel that America isn't a place where everyone is treated equally like it used to be. America is now a place of inequality and disparity. Our country has changed dramatically over the years both technology and economic ways. Both of these threaten the whole intentions of our founding fathers. In my opinion things have gone down hill for America. It seems like the poor is getting more poor and the rich is getting more rich. I don't think that American is very stable at all or equal for that matter. American used to be a place of equality, but no one gets treated equal. The higher class citizens with money get the best of everything. America just isn't the country it used to be. Everything has changed. I fear that the next thing they will try to change is the constitution. There are many strengths in our system. The Bill of Rights, balance of powers, the federal government shares sovereignty with the states, and also another great strength is that the Supreme Court balances the rights of each individual state. Our country system has many weaknesses as well. One of the weaknesses is that that everyone believes that the United States can “fix” the world and this isn't so. Our country is slowly falling apart. One of the biggest weakness that we have is that we have an over taxed system. If I were able to change one fundamental element of American democracy is the way that the...

...There are only two reasons that caseworkers were not aware of the conditions in the Jackson home but for the most part the caseworkers were aware. The children were home schooled instead of going to public school. So in that instance they were not able to receive information from the schools about the children. The second reason could have been that the caseworkers never talked or interacted with the foster children to ask them questions concerning their living conditions. As I see it the caseworkers were well aware of the conditions in the Jackson home and they chose not to interfere or to remove the children from the Jackson home. The caseworkers were at the Jackson home when the electricity was turned off and they were able to see that there was barely anything in the fridge for the children to eat. There were no medical or dental records of the four males meaning they had not seen a physician during their four year stay at the Jackson home. Caseworkers should have been aware of this situation and they had evidence and proof right in front of them the entire time and chose not to do anything about it. From the information presented in the case study, should the nine members of the Division of Youth and Family Services staff have been fired? Why or why not? Yes, I believe that the nine members of the Division of Youth and Family Services staff should have been fired. It was their job and duty to protect those children and to report to higher ups and to remove those children...

...Alex Brossart 2/26/14 English When people consider what school they should go to public or private they never consider the subcategories of these two schools such as the artistic schools or the religious schools or the technical or lastly the Montessori. I am Alex Brossart a student at Wake Tech and I am going to be describing the difference between Public and Private schools. Although public and private schools may seem the same, they are actually quite different when you consider the many different options they bring to the table such as teaching style, funding and, free will in terms of classes taken. The most significant difference between public and private schools is the teaching style of the teachers there. For example, in public schools, there are far more students per class and these causes the teacher to not manage to spend as much time with individual students during class time. If a student needs one on one time the best way for them to make it is by scheduling in time to see them are after class or during their office hours. When you consider the how the teacher is reviewed by not only their boss but also the county school board and the state department of education and lastly the federal department of education who rigidly studies the teachers. For private schools, they have less students per class so the teachers can focus more on the individual, bear in mind though that no school, teacher, or teaching style has the time for all students at once...

...teacher interview I chose to interview Donnie Drew from Commerce High School where I live here in Georgia and Amberly Neese an English teacher here at Grand Canyon University. I chose Mr. Drew to interview first and for my administrator because he is an educator that I have looked up to since a very young age. I chose Mrs. Neese because she is the first teacher I have encountered here at GCU so far who has truly made a long, lasting impression on me as a person. Based on Mr. Drew and Mrs. Neese’s responses a few things were actually very similar. In fact, the answers that were similar are that; they both are educators who have a master’s degree; they both would recommend teaching only to people with a passion for it. They are also similar because they both have fellow teachers in their families, they both live in the communities they teach in, and both believe the greatest benefit of teaching is being able to influence and help children. Out of both of my interviews with Mr. Drew and Mrs. Neese only a few things stood out in stark contrast. These responses were; Mr. Drew has been an educator for almost 50 years while Mrs. Neese for almost 20, Mr. Drew began teaching because of a love of young people and sports, Mrs. Neese because of a love of children, helping people and because she wanted to be a good influence unlike some of her past teachers. I learned a lot about being an insider in the field of education during the two interviews I conducted. I learned from both interviews...

...Philosophy Final Paper For this paper I chose the topic of gay marriage. I chose gay marriage because I know that there has been a lot of controversy over the subject. People either say gay marriage is unnatural, immoral, and wrong or to not let them marry is discrimination and not equal treatment. The first article is arguing for gay marriage and the second article is arguing against it. While both articles give some good arguments, the first article is definitely the stronger of the two. I myself am against gay marriage, but both of these articles pose good points, but also some flaws. The first article I read was from USA Today arguing that the problem with not allowing gay marriage is that it’s not equal treatment. They start out the article with giving a premise saying that traditionalist only see marriage in religious terms and that they say by common definition, marriage involves a man and woman. I think this argument is weak because the premise isn’t really supporting the conclusion, its just saying that a certain group of people thinks that way. After this they propose the premise saying that judges look at marriage as far from a religious matter and that the state gives married couples privileged treatment under law. I think this premise is weak because it doesn’t really explain how they homosexuals are treated unequal, it’s just saying what privileges married couples get. Next he goes on to give the premise that homosexual couples, even some together 20-30 years...

...1. Problems in human relations have been expressed in “to Whom Should I Speak Today”; do these problems still exist? Support your answer. Answer: Yes, it is still existing. There are times that we think that we do not have anyone to talk to - it’s either because we had a misunderstanding towards another person or we committed mistakes. There are also instances that we do not know to whom should we speak each day because we face different people including our friends – but there are still times that we do not know who they really are and we don’t even know if we had to talk to them because we have doubt. Just think of this, we choose to whom we will share our secrets, we choose to whom we can ask for advice and they aren’t the same person. Why have people hardships on thinking to whom should they speak today? Because we are lacking of trust; of honesty and even of faith. It is better to be vocal but not that much. We must know the limits and check if it’s the right place and the right time to talk to. We talk not having the intention to hurt others feeling but to give solutions and opinions in the certain topic. If you had a problem with someone – speak up, open up, and don’t let you feelings be a barrier to solving certain issues. Then, don’t tell a lie. Telling a lie to save others for a moment is leading to more complicated issues and it will get harder to solve. We have two ears to listen and one mouth to speak. Just speak with thought and know to whom we should speak...

...Assessments: What are the Ethical Concerns and how to tell what Type will Work best Desmond Demetrice Edwards April 10, 2013 This assignment will discuss different types of assessments that can be administered to the clients aforementioned in order to properly develop a course of action to help assist them with their individual needs. For instance, what can be done to help this young man cope with his personal and family life? Is there any way that an assessment can help him rediscover the joys of life? Is it possible for the 41 year old divorcee to inner peace, and if so, how will an assessment correlate with this? Also, can the academic careers of the two students somehow be salvaged? This paper will delve into the different historical and contextual considerations for these clients in hopes that one can find similarities in the cases given. In addition, this paper will discuss the ethical and personal issues that could hinder an assessment from bearing the fruit that is needed to help these people in crisis find an alternative to the madness. Assessments can definitely either assist or hurt a client’s chance of recovery especially if the wrong one is given to them. B.F Skinner said in 1938 that, “we need to go beyond mere observation to a study of functional relationships” and that, “we may only do this by finding variables of which behavior is a function” (Steege & Watson 2009, p. 1). These quotes have a lot of meaning behind them. Skinner...

...The Principles of policing Introduction to law Enforcement (CRJS210-1501B-01) Name: Brandy Tucker 4/8/2015 AIUOLINE Abstract Am a patrolman and the chief of police asked me to head up the training department which includes the police academy and annual training of the police officers? I have been asked to give a class to every police officer concerning the two principles and how they pertain to the questions that I will go over. The first principle is no quality is more indispensable to a policeman than a perfect command of temper; a quiet, determined manner has more effect than violent action. The second principle is the securing and training of proper persons is at the root of efficiency. The chief wants me to tell how these principles pertain to these questions. The first set of questions is why is the command of temper important to the demeanor of the typical police officer? What can be achieved with it, and what can happen without it? The next set of questions are has enough been done in law enforcement to develop the proper demeanor of law enforcement officers? Can you find research that suggests that demeanor training is a core part of law enforcement training, or is demeanor training needed to be included in law enforcement training? The next set of questions is if you were the chief of police of a local law enforcement organization with the opportunity to establish guidelines on developing the demeanor of law enforcement officers, what methods would you utilize...

...sophomores become upperclassmen. Thoughts of SAT and ACT scores, GPA, essays, and letters of recommendation make their way to the forefront of student brains. High school students spend years creating a reputation of academic success for themselves. However, universities also have a reputation of bias that has been years in the making. Factors such as one’s religion and hometown can make or break a college application. One of the largest cases of anti-Semitism in college revolved around the Ivy League in the 20th century. Around 1926, the “Scholastic Aptitude Test” (SATs) became private colleges’ preferred exam. This test...

...adults at Sandy Hook Elementary school were taken within minutes. Though he does not deserve any attention, the man that took these innocent lives was named Adam Lanza and he was just twenty years old at the time of the shooting. The children of Sandy Hook Elementary school were only in the first grade, and their lives came to a tragic end. I chose to talk about this event because I think that it is important to remember these victims, who were not old enough to have any chance to defend themselves or hardly begin their lives. As well as the fact that in 2012 I was in high school, and had cousins in Elementary school, it was so frightening...
