Some of the possible reasons caseworker were not aware of the conditions in the Jackson home could have been due to the fact that the Jackson made have put up a front every time the caseworker came over by pretending to like and do for the kids, or it could have been that the caseworker knew about the condition but just did not care. It is very hard to believe that these caseworkers really did not know that these kids were being abuse and mistreated.…
John Locke believed that people are born with the right to life, liberty, property and the right to choose government. These Enlightenment ideas were the main inspiration to both the French and American Revolutions. The French Revolution was an important revolution in Europe, preceded by the American Revolution. Both these revolution had lasting influences and unique social backgrounds creating tension with each individual revolution.…

“It’s our policy” (6), A&P by John Updike, a short story centered on conformity and an adolescent named Sammy claiming his independence. The grocery store represents a box that cages Sammy in and prevents him from experiencing a maturing phase in his life. The every day ritual of the store is “empty” (4) and everyone usually has “nothing much to do” (4). The grocery store never really changes and is a bit of a “Crummy” (6) place to be as customers are as boring as “sheep” (6). Sammy has accepted the bore by molding himself into the store, observing and analyzing every square inch of the building. Sammy feels like the store has control over him, like he has been painted white and camouflaged into its vast walls. He needs to find his own unique colors and paint his own life’s picture.…
A lot of courage is needed to revolt against a dictator and risk one's life, and possibly other's lives for a country. In the novel, In the Time of the Butterflies, by Julia Alvarez, Minerva Mirabal (one of 4 sisters in the story) shows a lot of courage by standing up against her country's leader, Rafael Trujillo, and for what is right, risking her and her family's lives. She performs in front of him, while knowing his secret, that he is a horrible dictator that abuses his power, she slaps him at a party and them leaves, which is illegal, and she protects her sisters with her life. It takes courage, guts, and bravery, to fight for what you believe in, and the events in this story show these traits.…
The Youth Criminal Justice Act is represented in all of the following sources, but only 2 of them agree with and support the YCJA. The other one does support them to a point, but are saying that the punishments are not harsh enough for youth. Going back to the sources, in the first one Graham Long is stating that the law is already hard enough on young people. In his case he has been to many court hearings and almost all the young offenders that he sees are not the first priority to the judge, the victim is. I don’t blame the judge for this, but if you are going to be dealing with a child that’s 12 – 14 or so, I think that you should have some feeling for them. An example that he describes is in Drayton Valley, Alberta where a youth offender was ordered to pay the victim $25,000. This is a bit too much for a teenager to be paying; most of them don’t even make that much in a couple years even if they have a job. The second source that I am looking at has a complete opposite view. They think that a lot of the young offenders that do go to prison get off to easy, with not enough punishment and that they will probably be a repeat offender. The third and last source is a line graph that shows the number of youths charged with crimes. This graph is showing that in the early 1990’s youth that were charged with offences went up from 8000 to 9000 in as little as 2 years. These numbers start to drop after 2003 when the YCJA was first introduced. It is proven by statistics that about 80% of first time youth offenders will not break the law again. These 3 sources of information are just a few of the many examples of the different views and opinions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. In my opinion I agree with the YCJA, in that youth should get punished for their actions depending on the age of the person. For example going back to source one, Graham Long is saying that kids don’t get off easy and that some punishments are a bit harsh. Giving a teenager a fine of…

A strong sense determination has always been a key part of who I am. I've always felt that, like driving a car, unless you take control of your life and grab the steering wheel, you won't get very far, or go in the right direction. In a world full of indecision, seldom do you find someone who knows exactly who or what they want to be in life; someone who bears determination, dedication, and motivation towards their goal. Happiness is knowing one’s potential and acting on it. My ambition in life is to help others reach their goals. This is what drives me. I want to be a social worker for the disabled and rehabilitation. Getting out of bed in the morning for an average person doesn’t require too much effort, but somewhere in the world a 10 year old little girl is missing both of her legs. No one cares, no one took the time out of there busy schedule to believe in her. Somewhere in the world, a mother is telling her little boy why daddy can’t play catch anymore. The neighbors stare in disgust; they don’t know he had his arm blown off by a landmine in Vietnam while defending his country. Someday I will be the one to teach the little boy with a lung disease how to sing, and the kid with the prosthetic foot how to walk. I get my inspiration from my father. My father was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy; a condition due to a lack of sufficient oxygen at birth causing a disability in his legs. This was no one’s fault, his parents and family loved him very much, yet he has had a struggle all his life. He spent much of his childhood in surgery and recovery, including near 2 years in a swimming pool learning how to walk. While other children were learning to run, he was learning to crawl. While other children were learning mathematics, he was in a hospital room. Throughout his life he suffered the inhumanity and absence of compassion that was to be expected from his attending school. Friends weren’t friends; people have a tendency to treat those with…

In the short story "A&P" author John Updike describes in detail what a boy's infatuation with the opposite sex can lead him to do. John Updike goes into great description about the setting. He also makes it a point to be very vivid when he uses characterization. He gives the characters names that subtlety describe their personalities and lets the reader make assumptions and accusations on Sammy's motivations for his quitting his job at the grocery store.…
Breathing and Living Jazz For my Extended Project, I will be composing a Jazz and Blues inspired piece. Jazz is a style of music that originated in the United States of America and was used as a way to express one's emotions. The syncopated rhythms and simple understructure have led to some of the most influential songs and musicians of the 20th century. The room to improvise is endless. It is often said, “in jazz there is no wrong note”.…
