Lionel Toribio Eng 11 In the reading “A Mask on the Face of Death” by Richard Selzer, explain how men in Haiti are acquiring the AIDS virus. Selzer feels that religion, voo doo priests led to an influence on prostitutes to continue spreading AIDS virus. In addition Selzer gives an illustration of three prostitutes as being a weakness of men in Haiti to acquired AIDS virus.

1. Not enough public transportation – Rural, Suburban, or Urban Rural can be classified as in a small town or community in the country, not in or near a metropolitan area. Transportation in this area would be scarce due to the fact that rural areas are basically in the middle of nowhere and mostly in farming areas 2. Roads – Rural, Suburban, or Urban Roads in these areas are more likely to be driven on a lot due to urban areas being in the middle of a fairly large city and suburban areas are basically residential in a town and near a large city. Suburban: in a smaller municipality within a metropolitan region, but not the core city.
The Amish are a society who's subsistence mode is a unique blend of the various modes. Historically they are considered a horticulturist society, but should be primarily defined as an agrarian state because of its current involvement in modern day society. “Agrarian states are more complex than bands, tribes, and chiefdoms. Their complexity means that more than kinship is needed to recruit people into status positions” (Nowak & Laird, 2010). The other subsistence modes of living in rolling hills indicates foraging, farming land indicates a horticulturist mode, raising animals indicates a pastoralist mode, and emerging agriculturalists indicates that they are fully dependent upon themselves to create a surplus to sell to other populations to generate more trade opportunities.
Geography Practice Questions 1. Explain the changing relationship between regional centres and small towns Previously, regional centres and small towns worked in harmony. The regional centres provided the services that small towns did not have and vice versa. However, regional centres are growing with the expense of the small town. Services in regional centres are incentivising the large movement of populations away from small towns.
There was a lot of poverty and many jobs were lost which caused people to steal food or other items to get money and survive. Many people got caught stealing and were put into jail even if they stole just a loaf of bread and for this reason many prisons became overcrowded. England had a couple of solutions and one was to send the convicts to East Africa but they had diseases in the area or in South West Africa but they lacked adequate water. The British then decided to transport convicts to the new land which Captain Cook had claimed for
Due to this problem, Scarman Report suggested to reform ‘recruitment and training’ because of racism in young police officers. Bowling and phillips (2002: 128-9) mentioned that in the 1970s and 1980s police officers widely practiced using ‘oppressive policing techniques’ in the ethnic minority’s communities, such as ‘ mass stop and search operation, the use of riot squads using semi-military equipment, excessive surveillance, unnecessary armed raid, and police use of racially abusive language.’ For example, Willis (1983) mentioned that black males, adult and young, double to be stopped rather than white. Not only for black people, but also West Indians tripled and Asian five times higher on foot. Smith (1983) also mentioned that, many West Indians have experienced to be stopped ‘for almost any reason and very often for no reason
Issues surrounding gun violence have been prevalent for decades, however in recent years the crime rates have spiked drastically due to gang violence. These gangs are involved in a host of different crimes like homicides and the illegal sale of narcotics. Street gangs are setting up shop in predominantly Black communities threatening the lives of many innocent civilians. As if the presence of gang activity in these communities isn’t bad enough, these gangs are robbing young girls and boys of their future often recruiting them involuntarily. It is extremely important for the citizens of these gang-infested areas to grasp the totality of the issue and decide to fight against it despite feelings of hopelessness.
Diego Cervantes Mr.Olazaba English 11 March 29, 2012 During the great depression there was a lot of poverty because the economy was down and families did not have enough recourses to help support their children . People were drinking alcohol instead of supporting their families, mostly men were drinking. On January 16th, 1919 the 18th amendment of the constitution was ratified, prohibition in the United States was a law. Banning of alcohol only made things worse by increasing organized crime, violence, and corruption among law enforcement officials during the next decade. The 18th amendment contributed to the rise of organized crime because it created a lot of underground business.
These eye-popping numbers came about for many reasons: mandatory minimum sentences, three-strikes legislation, illegal drugs, gangs, immorality in all its modern forms, the war on drugs, the decline of marriage and families, high rates of recidivism, incarceration of the mentally ill, the decline of capital punishment, problems with the criminal justice system and all the forces pushing tough crime policies. Difficult economic times focus attention on the increasing costs of keeping all these people - 93% of them men - behind bars. Each prisoner costs about $32,000 per year, and the average prisoner does little to offset the cost of confinement. The social costs may be even higher. Breadwinners are lost, families destroyed, more kids grow up without fathers or mothers, welfare costs increase, the entire sex ratio is thrown out of balance and prisoners face grim prospects when released.
It is a little obscure to the ones who can't make it. The highest prison rates were mostly of theft and the lowest were of murder and homicide. Also, due to the overcrowding there is a lot of rape within prisons. Prisoners are sent in because they did something wrong and are meant to heal and never come back but that's not the case. With this overcrowding of prisons there is crime within prisons.
