Picture the perfect criminal. Smart, intelligent, handsome, charming, and skilled. That is Neal Caffrey in the TV show “White Collar.” And although he seems like an immoral character in a very morally ambiguous movie, the show “White Collar” while different in its view of a god or an afterlife, puts forth strong Christian values and a worldview that has many similarities with Christian theism.…

Left Realist Criminology are from Critical Criminology as a reaction against perceived to be the Left's failure in everyday crime. The central tenet of lest reaslim is to reflect the reality of crime, that is in its origins, its nature and its impact Left Realism argues that crime affects working class people, but that solutions that only increase repression to make the crime problem worse. However they argue that the causes of crime in relative deprivation, although preventative measures and policing are necessary, but these should be democratically controlled.

In the years leading up to the Presidential election of 1960, America was embroiled in tension both at home and overseas. The relationship between the United States and Russia was growing more and more strained with every passing day and the civil rights movement left the American people divided. John F. Kennedy, widely regarded as a savior of sorts, brought greater stability to the United States and encouraged the American people to join together in the pursuit of progress. President Kennedy's inaugural speech would serve as the first glimpse at the incredible effect that he would have on the nation. In his inaugural address, President John F. Kennedy effectively wields the elements of…
Criminologists seek to understand the commission of crime in a given society, attempting to figure out why certain crimes occur, and then to study how these can be prevented, and deterred by individuals. The two key approaches I will examine in this assignment is that of the early 'Classicalist' approach, and the opposing 'Positivist' approach, each of which are crucial for understanding modern criminology today.…
Based on my own Christian worldview, that the Bible, the Word of God, is the absolute truth, and the answers and directions in life can be found within it. Kring, Johnson, Davison, & Neale, (2014) define psychopathology as the nature, development and treatment of mental disorders. Personally, I feel best describing psychopathology as labeling what we do not quite understand or attempting to define the imperfections of humans. In the Bible, we are taught that we are created in the image of God (Gen, 1:26, NIV). This is a perfect image until the first sin of Adam and Eve which resulted in the creation of suffering through the fall. In the presentation, the Human Experiences of Psychopathology (Thomas & Dumont, 2016b) it is explained that…
Criminology; "The study of the making of laws, the breaking of laws, and the social reaction to the breaking of laws." (Fuller: Pg 4.) In other words it is the study of how people acknowledge how crime is comited and the resoning behing it, as well as peoples reaction to it. One of the theories that one can study through Criminology is the Life Course Theory, which is "a perspective that focuses on the development of antisocial behavior, risk factors at different ages, and the effect of life events on individual development." (Fuller: Pg 140.) This refers to a "multidisciplinary paradigm" for the study of people 's lives, structural contexts, and social change in which they find what are the causes and factors that go into the birth of criminal actions.…
The first four commandments focus on the relationship between man and God. They command man to revere God and worship Him only. Further, the Sabbath day should be honored as the day a man focuses on their creator. On the other hand, the other six, focus on the relationship between man and another. The emphasis is that people should live harmoniously with one another, thus eliminating vices such as murder, stealing, disrespect, adultery, coveting and bearing false witnesses (Exodus 20, King James Version).…

Crime is an issue affecting us directly or indirectly in our everyday lives and we are surrounded by it constantly. Although criminal acts are often disturbing they are hugely fascinating and when such violent crimes occur, we seek answers. Regardless of how severe the crime is, we strive to know what the cause was and why it happened. Unless we have a clear reason it is challenging to put it behind us.…
II. Part Two: Articulate the biblical/Christian Worldview (what is believed) for each of the following 5 questions. Give 2 relevant scripture references (do not write out the verses) to support why it is believed. (300 words)…
One of the most significant problems in the world now is that of economic inequality, and the social problems it produces. And the most damaging impact may be in developed nations such as the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. in particular has the greatest gap in wealth among all developed nations, and the problem it is causing is becoming more apparent with each passing day. During the recession in the U.S., at least 6 million people have lost their jobs; 25 million are underemployed. Eight trillion dollars of middle class wealth has been destroyed in the housing collapse. One out of eight mortgage holders owe more money on their home than it is worth. Fifty million people live at the poverty level. One of out of 8 people is on food stamps. One out of 2 children will be on food stamps at some point in their lives.…

Part one will be about Buddhism and part two will compare Buddhism and the Biblical worldview. The questions to be answered are:…
The biblical or Christian Worldview, a theistic world view, “is based on the infallible Word of God” (Tackett, 2011, para. 2). Answering the questions of origin, Identity, Meaning/purpose, morality and destiny will further help in knowing what a Christian Worldview looks like. The Christian Worldview answers these questions with faithful certainty. The foundation of the biblical worldview is of course that the scripture is entirely true allowing for the words to shape what one does or says.…
