...The United States is a country known to have highest incarceration rate throughout the world, with around 700 people per 100000 population and according to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), around 2.2 million adults were incarcerated in the US federal and state prisons, and county jails in 2013. The main reason is because of high-occurrence rate of criminal deviance happened. Based on the research, races and classes are two main factors caused criminal deviances. And based on the historical data, white and black arrested rate for murder and robbery are almost the same while white arrested by forcible rape and forgery more (Around 70%). But there’s a significance difference in population of race since the report of population in 2013 showed that 72.4% of population is white alone and only 12.6% of population is black alone, which means black race has the higher criminal rate. And among the violent crime in the US, the assaults stay the highest and murders stay the lowest throughout the history. Both rates per 100,000 population committed assault and robbery crimes varied a lot throughout the history and reached the peak in 1990’s and both rates of rape and murder stayed relatively the same throughout the history.

...In addition to the tax on the winnings, there would be additional income from the losing bets. With nearly $365 billion up for grabs outside of Nevada this seems like a great opportunity to capitalize. The losing bets could help fund local school systems, or local government projects. In addition, the additional tax from the winnings would help lower or sustain the national budget. Not only will there be additional revenue from winnings and losing bets, legalizing sports gambling would also require some additional jobs to be created to monitor and regulate the networks. It’s too early to estimate how many jobs could be created but it would no doubt help create additional jobs. However, like any other controversial issue there are some disadvantages to legalizing sports gambling. Opponents of legalizing sports gambling point to potential issues with increased gambling addiction. Gambling addiction...

...Corruption is a phenomenon that public good uses for private gains. It happens in both private and public sectors. In term of government it’s defined as “the sale by government officials of government property for personal gain”. Also, it can happen in different ways and in different level from different positions and different countries, but this phenomenon is mainly widespread in developing countries. Even though, corruption is a worm within the body of society and cancer to economic and political development; but it can also be used as the cure for some people to sustain their life and maintain their economic advantages. The major coast of corruption is increasing poverty and social and economic disparity because some officials take the control of the country resources and exploit public instead of distributing on society and creating job opportunity to their people. Because of corruption, Child mortality and hunger endangered the life of millions. In Angola, 1 out of 5 children die before they reach their fifth birthday and more than half of population lives with $1.5 a day. Hence, corruptions create social class and widen the gap between wealthy and poor and it causes further problem. For instance, the corrupted people send their sons and daughters to the world best universities, and other cannot even support their children to complete primary education. So, not only in terms of finance, but corruption creates disparity in education and other aspects of life. Moreover...

...and discretionary expectations. It goes on to highlight how a company can be deemed a ‘corporate citizen’ only if they fulfill the economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic expectations of their stakeholders, and involves corporate social responsiveness (the methods of achieving social issue objectives) as well as corporate social performance (the end result). This essay shall attempt to critically analyse the CSR concept by weighing in the advantages against the disadvantages and reaching a balanced conclusion. One of the advantages of corporate social responsibility is business involvement: by addressing social issues, businesses can be a part of the solution and hence lead society. However, businesses may not be well equipped to be handling social issues especially on a larger scale, as was the case with Exxon Valdez. When the Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred, the company could not handle the situation on it’s own – it required the help of various other entities such as governments and NGO’s to clean the mess it made. Another advantage of corporate social responsibility is the fact that it wards off future government intervention. If a company engages in CSR effectively, then governments will have no reason to intervene in the business of the organisation. However, it is worth considering that sometimes working with governments may lead to better results than working without them. This of course depends on the government in question. For example, if Shell opts to work with...

...directly. A referendum has pros and cons. Firstly referendums are a device of direct democracy, which gives the general public direct and unmediated control over the governments decision making, this ensures that the public’s views and interests are always taken account of and are not distorted by politicians who claim to “represent them”. Another advantage is that referendums actually help to create a better informed, more educated and more politically engaged electorate, which gives the members of the public a strong incentive to cast there vote. Also another advantage is that referendums reduce the power of the government, because the government has less control over their outcome than it does over parliament, and therefore citizens are protected against the danger of over mighty government. And a final advantage to referendums is that there is always a clear-cut answer either yes or no. However there are disadvantages to referendums as well such as the general public which is usually ill informed, poorly educate and lacks political experience. Therefore it leads the public into making ill-informed wrong decisions. Another disadvantage is that a referendum weakens parliaments, as decisions are not made on the basis of careful...

...Rough Draft Provision of foreign aid to Africa African continent has struggled with chronic poverty and under-development. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been given to African governments. More billions were lent to these same governments. Countless tons of food have inundated the continent, and swarms of consultants, experts, and administrator have descended to solve Africa’s problems. However the state of development in Africa is no better today than it was when all this started. Per capita income, for most of Africa, is either stagnant or declining. For this debate analysis I will address the different types of aids foreign nations give to African countries. I will also discuss the debate of the advantages and disadvantages of the provision of foreign aid to Africa. In the end I will provide a conclusion on what I think should be done. Over the past 6o years at least $1 trillion of development-related aid has been transferred from rich countries to Africa. Yet real per capita income today is lower than it was in the 1970s, and more than 50% of the population over 350 million people live on less than a dollar a day, a figure that has nearly doubled in two decades. Food aid is the source of the international aid system, although it represents only a small proportion of total aid. With the help of international emergency response, famines and other natural and human-made disasters no longer kill in the numbers they used to prior to the 1980s. ...

... policies used by street hawker are helping the corruption to grow more faster. Introduction; I propose to find the unbelievable but realistic truth about the unfair business policies and strategies of street hawkers which are effecting the growth of corruption badly. Street hawkers may looks like a very poor and decent people but for their business they are following many such strategies that are very unethical. Moreover as a result of those policies some honest people in the same profession can not make this business profitable. Understanding the bad effects of those policies I intend my paper to be a background report for audiences and hope that my research will help readers to concern about this problem and take adequate actions to solve it. Areas to be studied: At this point in my research I have identified the following four questions to investigate: 1) What are the main strategies and policies of street hawkers which are unethical? 2) What are the main reasons to follow these unfair business strategies and policies? 3) What are the advantages and disadvantages to follow these strategies and policies? 4) How these strategies and policies will affect the growth rate of corruption? I plan to divide the body of my paper into four sections, each one exploring one of these questions. I will also provide an introduction and a conclusion...
