...will provide general information, such as the definition of domestic violence, statistics, and resources to help survivors leave domestic violence relationships. Following the review of the literature I identify areas which need further research. Since I can remember black women have been characterized as mean and argumentative, but also strong and self-sacrificing for their families. Black families on TV were always portrayed as single mother households. In my community there was also a reoccurring reality of domestic violence against women. This was is in direct contrast to stereotypes I heard about white women, who were portrayed as weak, frail and needing to be protected. Examples include June Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver and the Brady Bunch. But what justified the brutality of domestic violence against black women then and now? In 2011, black females were murdered at a rate more than two and a half times higher than white females: 2.61 per 100,000 versus 0.99 per 100,000. [1] In the U.S. domestic violence against black women has escalated. In 2010, Marissa Alexander an African American woman shot a warning shot at the wall in order to scare Rico Gray, her estranged, abusive husband. Marissa was a 29-year-old mother, who had just given birth to her youngest daughter prematurely, nine days earlier. For trying to protect herself, she was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In her upcoming retrial, Florida state prosecutor Angela Corey is seeking to imprison...

...In this paper I will be arguing why I believe the United States should keep fighting the militant group known as ISIS, but shouldn't do more than air power. While troops are on the ground there is a greater chance that ISIS can get hold of more U.S. troops and kill them. There have been over 10,000 ISIS fighters killed, but still that has barely made a dent in the amount of fighters they have. It is too much of a risk to send U.S. troops on the ground, so that should be left as a last resort. The normative principle I am arguing is the just war theory. The idea that violence can be justified under certain criteria. The seven pieces of criteria are just cause, last resort, announcement of intention, reasonable hope of success, proportionality, right intention and just conduct. Each of these will be described in deeper meaning throughout this paper. Also in this paper, I will be explaining how the different criteria help in deciding what is considered just. The first criteria is the Just Cause, stating the war must be justified by the right reason. The right reason in this case being the defense of one’s self and others. The war against ISIS meets this criteria because ISIS...

...country. Today, Islam is considered to be the fastest growing religion in the world. According to ncccusa.org, “there are about 1.2 billion Muslims and about 2 billion Christians in the world. By 2025, it is expected that Islam will grow by 50%, and Christianity will grow by 31%. Indonesia has the greatest number of Muslims with over 170 million adherents. Pakistan is next with 136 million”. If one follows the Islamic faith, women and men are equal in rights and life. They are not seen as equal in physical attributes therefore it is the man’s duty to be the physical laborer and be the main financial supporter of the family. The woman is seen as more nurturing and loving and is responsible for the home and up-bringing of the children. Both the mother and father are to provide for the children’s every need. A woman is allowed to have money and property and spend it as she sees fit. Many marriages are arranged prior to the actual marriage. They may meet and choose each other but they will still ask their...

For many people video games are a way to pass time or to have fun when there is nothing to do.

There is a video game called, “Grand Theft Auto” and you are a part of a gang and the objective of the game is to go around and do missions. These missions ask for you to go around and kill mob bosses or blow things up. Some parents believe that violent video games do cause their children’s behavior to change.

Capote got most of his research through interviews, first interviewing Dick, Perry, and Dewey. That wasn’t enough, so he found Dick and Perry’s families, as well as Don Cullivan, the remaining Clutter family, and various other characters, or people who knew people who were unreachable.

...town council stated that in 2011 “In South Carolina: A child is abused or neglected every 41 minutes. A child dies before his or her first birthday every 16 hours. A child or teen is killed by gunfire every 6 days.( http://www.childrensdefense.org) Furthermore it was documented that if any household had children that were being abused then the child or children would be taken from the home immediately. When stating abuse this means anything from child abuse, domestic violence, and drug or alcohol abuse. If this occurs then the child will be taken from the resident and then the state will take the child into custody until a foster home can be provided. The state cam hold the child for a period up to six months. Depending on the crime some parents will have to undergo certain steps to prove to the state that they are trying to clean up their act, The list of things that the parents/guardians may be required to take are drug treatment, family counseling, and anger management. Some other things that may be required are life skill classes and even having to take parenting classes. This is where the Social learning theory come into play, The Department of Job and Family Services made reference to the social learning theory as providing support for this approach, as evidenced by research indicating that “aggressive children have parents who use similar tactics when dealing with others. For example, the children of wife batterers are more likely to use aggressive tactics...

...3/15/13 English foundations honors 2 Mrs. Muratori Research paper hamlet INTRO Hamlet is a tragedy by William Shakespeare where the main character, Hamlet, Thesis: In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet mythological and biblical allusions informs us of Hamlet’s inevitable fall. Throughout the play, Hamlet uses many mythological allusions to show his feelings towards other characters such as Claudius, Gertrude and the old king as well as inform us of his “fall”. After Queen Gertrude is re-married to Claudius, Hamlet shows his feelings when he compares the late King Hamlet to Claudius. Hamlet tells his mother, "So excellent a king, that was to this / Hyperion to a satyr." (Ham. I ii 139-40). This allusion shows Hamlet's high praise for his dead father as well as his extreme hatred for Claudius. Hyperion is the Greek sun god. By comparing his dead father to Hyperion, Hamlet does not just connect his father to a titan, but also the source of light and with that hope and happiness. The sun is what also sustains life. Hamlet is alluding to how his father was a great king, a strong and dynamic leader that cared for his family and strength of Denmark. The sun also symbolizes warmth and glory which are qualities reflected upon his father. A good king, like the sun, is also a keeper of the peace who watches from above. It is evident that Hamlet greatly loved his father and is stunned by how his mother quickly moved on after his death to marry Claudius who...

It also shows how they deal with the death of their leader, how they protect their friends and their own group members.

I also saw when the leader of their troops is killed , the other members of the group mourn for him. They show their sorrow and their feelings for a mother who lost...

...Outline I. Introduction/Thesis II. The Tragic Hero’s Nobility III. Tragic Flaws A. Arrogance and Pride B. Arrogance and Paranoia C. Pride D. Pig-headedness IV. Downfall V. Conclusion Dramatic Research Paper “Oedipus Rex” by Sophocles “Oedipus Rex” was a Greek Tragedy written by Sophocles in the fifth century BC. It was the first of a trilogy of plays surrounding the life of Oedipus. Sophocles wrote over 120 plays approximately 100 years before Aristotle even defined a tragedy and the tragic hero. Aristotle’s definition of a tragedy is “… an imitation of an action of high importance, complete and of some amplitude; in language enhanced by distinct and varying beauties; acted not narrated; by means of pity and fear effecting its purgation of these emotions” (Kennedy and Gioa 2010). According to Aristotle there were six elements to a tragedy: the plot, the character, the thought, the spectacle, the diction, and the music. He believed that “[t]he plot, then, is the first principle, and, as it were, the soul of a tragedy; character holds the second place” (Aristotle 1999). The character (tragic hero) being the second most important element of the tragedy, he must be of nobility, he is not infallible and his downfall is due to an error in judgment, and is capable of making his own choices and, most important, accepting the consequences for those choices. “Oedipus Rex” is not only a classic example of Aristotle’s definition of a tragic...

...Persuasive Research Paper Dominique Harris ENG/215 September 30, 2013 Bill Morgan Persuasive Research Paper Restrictions on Guns for the Sake of Life Volsky (2012), "I support the Second Amendment” (para. 2) Governor Rick Scott (R) stated December 2012 when questioned by anchor Soledad O’Brien about which reforms, if any, he would support. Gun control is one of the leading controversial issues society faces in America to date. The government is faced with the issue of limiting assault rifles with a trite and establishing tougher gun laws vs. the second amendment. President Obama said it best “the country’s background check system for gun buyers is so weak it makes the United States vulnerable to mass shootings” (Rucker, 2013, para. 2). That statement alone should end any controversy on the issue of gun control. Regulating individual’s right to bear arms certainly would bring a since of safety to our society. In order for that to happen, government will have to do more than just prohibited sales of guns. In everyone’s community someone knows an individual who owns gun e.g., for protection or hunting. To regulate the rights to bear arms authorities would have to confiscate everyone’s guns to make America safer. I personally would like that to happen because guns kill, accidentally and on purpose. Take a look at the bigger picture “every day in the U.S., an average of 289 people are shot. Eight-six of them die: 30 are murdered, 53 kill themselves, two die accidentally...

Have you ever had that feeling like you tried to help but nothing works, as if you have no say at all? The topic that I would like to discuss in class would be child depression. This is a touchy topic to me because I am dealing with it right now with my little sister, it is a serious issue that most parents or teachers feel as though it isn’t a serious thing but it can lead to multiple other types of issue such as suicide and bullying. As a little girl she only grew up with my mother and I and her dad was in jail for about 8 years of her life so she never had a father figure. Then when she was 10 he got out of jail, he wasn’t really there that much as she hoped but she was willing to accept it. Then her 8th grade year he went back to jail and that hurt her a lot, because she was losing him all over again. That was when her attitude started to change then my first year of college she became depressed and never wanted to talk to anyone about her feelings. She felt as though everyone was leaving her and her and my mom weren’t the closest. When I came back for Christmas break that was when my mom told me that my sister had been cutting herself on her stomach and wrist and she had been seeing a therapist since I left for school. When I heard that it made me break down crying because no child should feel that way or do that kind of stuff to...

(Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and how this programs helps the community. As I mentioned before, the issue of DUI’s is becoming more of an issue every day and it is not getting any better. There is this misconception that individuals can only be considered driving under the influence when consuming alcohol but this is not the case no more. The second most inhibitor of driving under the influence is Marijuana. It seems like the more time goes by, the more states make it legal to smoke. This drug can be obtained easier then alcohol as when that time comes when there is, as long as the money is right, it can be brought by pretty much anyone. National Statistics on DUI’s The annual numbers of DUI’s is pretty hard to swallow and the following numbers are just with alcohol, not marijuana. * The average number of people arrested annually for drunk driving are 1,500,000 * The average number of people who die annually in drunk driving accidents are 10,075 DUI’s Arrest by age group...

...Armenian Genocides Prashanth P. Samuel Professor Hicks History 116 The Ottoman Empire was a very powerful and influential force in the world during the early 19th century. As the empire was predominantly of Turkish decent, other minority groups started growing within the empire. Eventually it came to a period where the Ottoman Empire felt these minority groups such as the Armenians, Greeks, as well as the Assyrians were becoming to strong and felt they were threating the empire therefore they were persecuted and the mass killings of the Armenian people being. The purpose of this paper is to dive into the times of the Armenian genocides before during and after the April 24th 1915 genocide attacks on the Armenian people. The various sources and references used in this paper will explain the various situations the Armenian people faced and how this has correlated to other world events at the time and how this has affected Armenian people for generations to come. The first part which we will look at is determining if the mass killings of the Armenian people is considered genocide or not as the people of Turkey time and time again failed to recognize that it was genocide. The genocide convention in 1948 defined the word “genocide” as an incident which involves a significant number of dead, as similar to the number of dead during the 1915-1916 era. “On 12 March 2010, the Swedish Riksdag recognized the 1915 Genocide in Ottoman Turkey” (Avedian). As the Swedish have stated that...
