We would think of this person as sort of, untouchable, but Staples explains why he sees it this way. "I only needed to turn a corner into a dicey situation, or crowd some frightened, armed person in a foyer somewhere, or make an errant move after being pulled over by a policemen. Where fear and weapons meet-and they often do in urban America-there is always a possibility of death." (Staples 314).

In Harrison Bergeron, the society is a distorted, dysfunctional dystopia. The people suffer greatly without knowing it because they cannot think for themselves. Society has gone wrong because advancements cannot be made, hope of a new ruler coming to set thing straight is gone, and the government lowers the standards to make everybody equal.

From the articles “How people turn monstrous” by Mark Buchanan and “Revisiting the Stanford prison experiment” by Philip G. Zimbardo, which means human behavior is forceful. The good people always get forced inherently into the bad situation.
Gandhi’s fight against discrimination eventually leads to the freedom and independence of India. Gandhi experienced this first hand and went around India teaching his ways to other people and gaining followers who wanted to be like Gandhi. These followers would not falter, even when Gandhi went to jail, they did not riot. They responded to the government’s answer of violence with nonviolence, like Gandhi would. Nonviolence, such a great and powerful word yet has contradicted its meaning throughout history as something that can accomplish many great tasks.
A various amount of self-defense laws have changed over the years, but none of them have gotten as much attention as the "Stand Your Ground Statute." This law is a very controversial issue because it takes away the, "Duty To Retreat" prior to the use of deadly force for self-defense. This has raised concerns for the public who are not in favor of using deadly force in the first place. While many opponents want to abolish the "Stand Your Ground Statute", I believe that it is an essential law that should be kept in our society in order to protect the innocent people who have no other option than to exterminate the threat he/she, or the family have encountered.

Although stand your ground laws provide additional means under the law for people to protect themselves and their families, they should be banned since in reality
Citizens do deserve the right to protect their families in their own homes, especially if the police are judged incapable. Guns don’t kill people – people kill people.

Pro-gun users are aware of the negative aspects guns have on society.
Introduction The people who often commit hate crimes are not mentally ill, no signs of schizophrenia or manic depressive disorders. The do often share a very large amount of aggression and antisocial behavior. They can be very troubled, disturbed, extremely problematic members of one’s community and they post a great risk for future violence. (Tori) In this paper I am going to describe the profile of a person who commits hate crimes, why they choose to do them, who they target and ways we can maybe prevent the crimes from happening. The person who commits hate crimes will most likely plan their attack more so than someone who just commits crime on a regular basis.
Above the Law Police officers are given the authority to uphold the law and to maintain peace. They risk their lives every day and will have to use the rules of engagement to determine the threat level of violence towards them or society. They are able to use excessive force towards people who are violent and unable to comply. But in some scenarios, officers who think they’re above the law, abuse this rule and that’s when police brutality take place. Officers use brutality for the wrong reasons such as being racist or discriminating the individual.
