In 1829‚ Sir Robert Peel created the Metropolitan Police when he served as Home Secretary of England. He created the first modern police force‚ the Metropolitan Police in London. According to Peel‚ the real key for policing is "the police are the people and the people are the police (Wikipedia 2010).” It was his belief that prevention of crime could be accomplished without intruding into the lives of citizens. He set about nine principles that still seem to be true and useful in the present day

Sir Isaac Newton is one of most influential thinkers that we’ve had‚ his thinking still affects us today. He’s impacted the world in some many ways. When we bounce a ball we expect it to go down then come back up. When we jump up we realize were fighting the gravity pulling us down. When were in math class we realize because of him our lives are miserable. When we see an apple falling from a tree we remember the myth that gave him the idea of gravity. He developed the principles in physics‚ gravity

How does the mass of a ball affect the distance it will travel ? Exploring Newtons 2nd Law of motion. Background Research How does changing the mass of an object effect how far it will travel ? This question can be answered by Newtons 2nd law of motion; Force equals mass multiplied acceleration (F= ma). This law states that a force on an object will cause it to accelerate in the direction of the force. The greater the force exerted on the object‚ the greater the acceleration. But how does

Sir‚ I read with interest your story yesterday about the young internet criminal. My view of the case is that what the boy did was a really dumb idea. And I think that the people don’t have to have pity with the boy‚ because with 15 years can you estimate the consequence and you have to realize it. In the end begs the question‚ who has to pay. The Argentinian I think doesn’t have to pay. And the boy is a juvenile. In the end the company had to pay‚ but I don’t think that’s right. My opinion is

noble class? Sir Thomas Malory’s “The Tale of Sir Gareth” examines this question and presents an interesting view as to the true value of a knight. Malory uses the actions of important characters to reveal his opinion that the nobility of a knight was secondary to his integrity‚ courage‚ and benevolence. Many characters in Malory’s world view nobility as an absolute must and even a synonym for being a knight. Sir Kay is a telling example of this. In the beginning of this tale‚ Sir Kay chastises
