    The article “The Death of Benny Paret” is a prime example of why boxing should not be played. Boxing is just like when guys(Gladiators) would be in a arena and fight till the death back in 180AD. Benny Paret fights a man named Griffith and Griffith punches Paret 18 times and it kills him. Boxing is not a sport that should be played because it can lead to extreme injuries or possibly death. For example, Benny Paret’s story.…

    The Bra Boys highlights a continual conflict with the law and attitude towards authority. With a reputation of being territorial, the group is known to have taken control of a Sydney reef break, known as 'Cape Solander', and renaming the break 'Ours'. In late 2002, around 160 members of the gang attending a birthday party at the Coogee-Randwick RSL Club were involved in a brawl with off-duty police officers, 30 police officers left injured after the event. In August 2005, the Bra Boys led a 100-person non-violent protest against plans by Randwick Council to introduce parking meters near the local beaches. These examples show that the Bra Boys are very passionate about their community they live in and think they should have a say in how things are run. This could be a very negative effect on some members as they could get prosecuted by the authorities for their behaviour it could also be another way to have your voice heard.…

    Through his interviews, Jenkot discovered that there are very distinct and specific jobs or roles in the process of producing methamphetamine. In a methamphetamine-producing group, there is a spectrum spanning from highly respected roles to roles not respected at all. Most commonly, a member of a meth-producing group may start out with an undesired role and slowly work his or her way up to a more respected position, depending on his or her success at their previous position. The most desired position within a methamphetamine-producing group is the “cook.” The cooks hold the power, because they are continually providing the desired good, meth. In exchange for their creation of the drug, cooks are constantly waited on, given whatever they want—food, technology, sex, etc.—by the rest of the group. Immediately beneath the cook is the Gas Man or Juicer. Jenkot’s interviewees reported that Gas Men are also highly respected and important to their group, but their job is much more…

    Animal Bloodlust Analysis

    Papps initiates his case with an anecdote to describe the “brutal scene” in which pit bulls are “trying to tear each other to pieces.” This intended start was to hook the reader into the piece, coupled with the use of enlarged text and pictures depicting pit bulls labeled as “dangerous” behind bars, alludes to the point that they have no place in public, only belonging to euthanasia clinics that would end their “bloodlust”. From this, the reader is invoked with a sense of fear and perspective to the grandeur of the issue at hand, made to be shocked and weary of the breed as Papps attempts to distort their views on pit bulls. Smith also utilizes the prison motif for his pictures in his piece, to further stress the idea of “pit bulls are being used as weapons” but differing in his objective. He aims to objectify the dog in this case, where they serve no more than mere “weapons and aids for criminal activities” so that the audience feels less squeamish of the newly imposed laws regarding their stay in Victoria. This is contrasted by Papps’ representation of the dogs, calling them “super killer dogs” that were “trained to kill”. He demonizes each breed, which leads to a similar action Smith intended for the audience—in that, to distance the audience from these dogs, moving them away from sympathizing with the dogs which further bolsters the arguments of both authors.…

In the Baliness society a person can’t bet against a cock from the family, or village, but can bet against an enemy.

    In order to be fully confident in my decisions, my framework must be based on what values I regard the highest. First and foremost, the base of my framework is the facts of the dilemma – make sure they are credible, but more importantly make sure you have them all. If I began the ethical decision making process without knowing all of the facts, all of the people involved, all of the options for acting and without knowing there is absolutely no way to rid yourself of the problem, then the rest of my framework would be irrelevant.…

    There has been much debate on the issue of dog fighting. It has been said that there are two sides to every story, but in this case there is only one.

It is ridiculous to think that something so cruel could even be thought of as moral, although there are many people around the world that will say dog fighting is considered morally correct.…
