As Sergeant Standifird circled the parking lot area he observed the back hatch of the vehicle was open and a person lying inside.

Robert Bowdrie (Bowe) Bergdahl is a United States Army sergeant who left his post in Afghanistan 2009 purposefully and intentionally. The Bowe Bergdahl case is an odd case that sometimes does not make much sense. He will be facing court-martial sometime this year for is desertion and misbehavior. The Uniform Code of Military Justice is very similar to regular law, but has some adjustments that pertain to certain military rules and regulations. Bergdahl violated one of the most important rules and the first General Order, these orders are a soldier’s guideline on how to conduct themselves.…

Yes, I would report this incident. My reason being that the large handprint found on Jane's face was discovered after she had arrived home from daycare. The evidence of a large handprint across Jane's face is enough to report this situation and to look into who is responsible. According to the size of the handprint, it probably come from an adult (possibly an employee) at the daycare facility Jane attends. Daycare facilities are supposed to be a trusting and safe environment parents should feel comfortable sending their children to where their children are engaged through social interaction and fun learning activities. The concern Sarah has for the safety of her daughter…
A lot of news reporters will do whatever is needed for them to get a paycheck, including spreading fake news or exaggerating small news. Imagine if the United States did order an execution on Bergdahl. The country could be viewed as an antagonist for killing one of its very own sergeants. Just like a volcano, the news, internet, and social media would erupt as soon as the order is sent. That is one of the last things that we need! The U.S. is under enough fire as it is already and being put under a rain of complaints, protests, and insults would only make it worse! Ordering an execution would not be helping the United…

An American soldier, fighting in Iraq from 2003 to 2004, has written to his friends and family back home about his unpleasant time while serving his country. Through out his email he gives examples of what its like to live like a soldier and creates a vivid visual for his audience. He adopts a grim tone about his situation in order to give his audience the true experience of being an American soldier on the front lines. He creates this tone through his use of rhetorical strategies like figurative language, syntax and ethos.…
Dick, another group that deserves respect is the patient’s family members. If a patient is in crisis, the family is most likely in crisis as well. They can be very helpful in such things as giving the patient’s medical history, medications, and other useful information to an EMT. The family can also become formidable adversaries if they feel that the patient is being mistreated. EMTs should always listen to them and show that they really do care about their family member. Furthermore, Mr. Dick believes that being able to give comfort to the family is a required skill for all healthcare providers to have.…
Years later, psychologists studied this case, still perplexed by the behavior of the neighbors.They concluded that “the greater the number of bystanders who view an emergency, the small the chance that any will intervene” (Rasenberger). The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell concludes that this is caused by the “bystander problem” (Gladwell 28). This relates back to the number of people who witness an emergency. Nobody thinks that they need to be the one to intervene; however, if one person does not stand up because they expect somebody else to, no change will ever happen.…
A journalist takes the search for a story to far and because of their search it can easily ruin someone’s life. A Canadian minister was on medical leave and she was called on fraud because a picture 5 years old resurfaced on social media; showing her in Mexico eating dinner and he finished his story sending it in before making sure he had the…
A requirement for becoming an intern at my field placement was the completion of the California general mandated reporter training. I completed the training around a week ago, and will use that certificate and experience to complete this assignment. The training is extensive and states to set aside 4 hours to complete the modules in the training. The training is composed of four lessons or modules. Lesson one covers the different types of child abuse: physical, sexual, emotional, and neglect. It also covers the red flags mandated reporters should look for and how to recognize and identify the different types of abuse. Lesson two outlines how to file a report, who must report, when mandated reporters must file a report, and the consequences of failing to file a report. It also explains the confidentiality rights someone has as…
Choosing to enlist as an active duty member or a reserve duty member is one of the primary choices that will affect your entire military career. Before making a decision, most people should consider the amount of days worked and the duty station for both fields, their career after they return from military training, and the benefits and retirement. Those who have a good stable job, do not want to separated away from their families or homes, want to continue/go to college full-time should choose to go to the Air Force Reserve rather than active duty.…
As of now I personally believe the press has about the right amount of freedom to say what they need to say. As long as it is appropriate we all (even the press) can have their freedom of speech.…
It’s time for some good news, says Justin Lamontagne, 19, of Fort Erie. Lamontagne says he gets most of his news from the newspaper. “I’m not one of those people who hate reporters, not at all. I think reporters are useful, I mean they grant access to the whole world through the news. Without them I would never have known about mad cow disease and then where would I be?”…
