The immediate effects that he left was the 1968 Riots in Chicago, the improvement of the Civil Rights Act, and the Poor People’s campaign which demanded for economic and human rights for everyone in the United States.

And last but not the least, the Martin Luther King was a positive impact because this day was all about service towards people who needed help. Some of the impacts that was left behind might seem to be negative but these impacts were all about change that everyone has an initiative on
The Wire is set in Baltimore, U.S where crime occurs in the lower class streets like shown on the opening scene of the first episode. The fact that the crime is set on the streets and the low key lighting that is used in this series connotes a dark, tough crime. This is almost the complete opposite to CSI which is set in New York, a city known for its high class streets that denote luxury. Represented by the satellite views, the test tubes, microscopes and the model-looking detectives in CSI´s opening sequence, crime in the U.S. is shown to be solved by technology and good looking people. The Wire´s opening sequence differs in the way that the main focus is not technology or even the detectives, the opening sequence shows both sides of the law; for example, police badges and people consuming drugs.
This also shows the contrast of the two worlds, with the high buildings and bright lights of Manhattan in contrast with the dark world of the docks. Joey’s jacket becomes a mantle, a symbol of defiance that handed on those who stand up to the corrupt union. The jacket is first given to Dugan who like Joey testifies to the Crime Commission about the corruption on the waterfront. After he dies, it is returned to Edie who gives it to Terry. This creates suspense as it can be foretold that Terry will too testify.
Yufei Hua 1000067205 GGR124 Assignment 1 Professor: Deborah Cowen TA: Madeleine Cahuas TUT 5301 Word Count:393 Engage the City Institutional racism, as one of the causes of urban inequality, is slowing down urban gentrification. Institutional racism is “discrimination based on both formal rules and common practices that are so widespread and so well established that they are taken for granted” as defined in the book “Starting Points: A Sociological Journey” (Tepperman, 2011, p.266). Thus, people sometimes are being racist without realizing it. Similarly, collateral damage might be already happening in the city before people’s awareness, urban inequality, for example. In Professor Hulchanski ’s work “Three cities within Toronto”, the existence of urban inequality and a trend of polarization are apparently admitted as

In chapter five of Ethical Dilemmas and Decisions in Criminal Justice, Pollock states when one asks most people what the role of policing is in society, the response is some version of “catch criminals” or “fight crime”. (p.105) The majority of police officers are professional and ethical; however a small minority abuses their power. This leads to close suspicion by the public of all police. Police have great power in our society to arrest, use force and also have the power of life and death. Police have two types of perceptions of the police mission, either a crime fighter or public servant.
He captures the populism of that time from the strikes all the way to the farmer’s debt. It gives you a good look at some of the riots back then such as the Haymarket Riot in Chicago. After reading the book though I found that the book may not have been written so much as to tell us about the past, but try to help us with our political liberalism
Irony is used in many places such as the story’s title, the setting an even in certain character’s personality traits. In addition to Jackson’s use of irony, the black box and the story’s title represent the importance of questioning irrational traditions and the unexpected nature of death. With the use of these two literary techniques, Shirley Jackson is able to highlight important dramatic events within the plot. Reading this story allowed me to better understand the importance of questioning society. If people would have questioned Hitler’s plans before he gained too much power perhaps we could have prevented the horrible mistreatment face by the
Truong Pham 35476118 Comparison Essay Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail vs. Barack Obama’s “ A more Perfect Union” In their letter and speech, both Martin Luther King and Barack Obama tried to primarily use ethical and emotional appeals to raise awareness about racism in America and to persuade their respective audience to join their quest to put an end to racism. However, while Barack Obama talked about racism in general, Martin Luther King focussed on segregation, or racism specifically on African-American. King was straightforward in his arguments, often time hitting the nail right on the head, while Obama was much too diplomatic in his speech due to the fact that he had to appeal to a large audience of all
Organized crime participants are master manipulators and can easily instill fear in the citizens within the area. This fear is often times enough to keep innocent people quiet when being questioned by law enforcement. This practice has helped organized crime not only survive but evolve within the United States.
