Back in slave times, the slaves had poor language skills because they were not taught to read and write. Now, people who live in underprivileged parts of the city or the, "hood" tend to have poor language skills due to not going to school and learning correct grammar. In conclusion, language is a very powerful tool that if not used properly can be hurtful. Individual words, such as profanities, are just as significant as full sentences. Also how a person was raised and prior education can affect how a person uses language, but people can abuse language no matter where they come
The media only portrays the teenagers as the bad guys regardless whether an adult was involved in that action or case; the headlines always include the word teenager. If an adult pays a teenage girl to have sex is called teenage prostitution. Or a teenage girl getting pregnant by a 20 year old male is called teenagers getting teenagers pregnant. The same concept comes in account when violence is talked about. Even though stats say something else, the media automatically portrays the teenagers as the bad guy.
Simpson in Los Angeles for the alleged murder of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman. Regardless of Simpson's guilt or innocence, the trial clearly showed that class trumps race when it comes to the criminal justice system. At each step of the proceedings Simpson was able to obtain different treatment and results than he would have had he been penniless. This ranged from the obvious (the "dream team" of lawyers who represented him) to the not so obvious (the prosecution's decision not to seek the death
Not saying that they do not deserve time in jail, but how does smuggling a “plant” into the United States serve more time than forced sexual intercourse, which most of the time involves beating or severe harm to a person. Rape? It is any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person. In addition, it is the crime that I
The Cruel Hand In chapter 4 of her book –The New Jim Crow, Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness – Michelle Alexander discusses the legal and social challenges the drug felons face as they struggle to reintegrate themselves into the unwelcoming mainstream American society, after they are released from prison. She explores “the stigma of criminality” (Alexander 141) that follows these people long after they have served their prison sentence. She starts by describing how these drug offenders have often been made to plead guilty to drug charges leveled against them, in exchange for ‘lenient’ court sentences, without really knowing the underlying consequences of their guilt plea. Firstly, Michelle points out that these freed felons will not only stand disqualified from public housing, but that even private house owners are legally authorized to discriminate against them. Secondly, that these freed felons –who are disproportionately African Americans - are discriminated against when it comes to employment, making them even more miserable.
This issue is affecting immigrant families, children and child care setting because they are unable to communicate in English very well and this barrier affects them emotionally, physically and mentally. Families may face issues in communicating with people in the same neighbourhood; they won’t be able to socialize with the people who are living in their surroundings. Even people, who belong from the same country as them, might make fun of them and look down upon them as they are unable to speak English
Prostitution, labeled as a victimless crime, is basically the exchange of money or favors for sexual activity between consenting adults, this type of “victimless” crime is considered illegal in the United States and is punishable by heavy fines or imprisonment of up to ten years, sometimes up to 30 if one party is not of legal age. Prostitution should stay illegal, aside from the basic morality of the situation, prostitution can bring on a whole list of problems for U.S. citizens if allowed to be legalized. To sell ones body in exchange for mony or favors is the choice of an individual, even if the act itself is illegal. But to create a law, in the hopes of protecting citizens, is the job of the government or, when it comes down to it, the majority of the public. The argument that a person has the right to sell their body, for whatever means, and that prostitution should be legalized is not, in fact, very justifiable.

A civil case is when the plaintiff decides to sue another person, organization, or a business, the individual being sued is also called the defendant. In a criminal case, the crime is based on offenses against the state, with the prosecutor charging the suspect for the crime and not the actual victim charging the suspect. (The Differences between a Criminal Case and a Civil Case, n.d) Many fundamental distinctions between a civil and criminal case separate them from one another in our court system, which include but are not limited to; the standard of proof required in a criminal case compared to that of a civil case, the terms and forms of punishment, and also whether or not you are entitled to an attorney. “In general, because criminal cases have greater consequences - the possibility of jail and even death - criminal cases have many more protections in place and are harder to prove.” (The Differences between a Criminal Case and a Civil Case, n.d) A duty placed upon a civil or criminal defendant to prove or disprove a disputed fact is known as standard of proof.

Escape is difficult for the victims of trafficking because victims are “invisible”. In most cases, victims cannot speak the native language and are afraid to approach authorities out of fear of being deported. Most of the time, victims have no idea where they are or how to get help. Illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, child matrimony, domestic violence and hazardous migration are presumed to be foremost causes for the quick-growing rate of illegal human trafficking (1). The United Nations has previously helped to develop effective law enforcement and criminal justice institutions.
