Kirubakaran Amalraj Amalraj 1 Mr. McCarthy English IV 8 May 2008 Darfur: A genocide that we can stop Genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. At least that is how it is defined in a dictionary. But what does it personally mean to a person .The people of Darfur, Sudan have been terrorized and murdered but the U.S. has done nothing major to respond . People however became furious at Michael Vick for abusing dogs, and they worked hard to put him in jail. Why is it that nothing even close has been done when thousands of people are killed.
Strangulation was his preferred method, the same method he often used to kill animals as a child. After the body of his first victim, Taunja Bennett was found, the media’s attention surrounded Laverne Pavlinac, a woman who falsely confessed to killing Bennett with her abusive boyfriend (The serial killer hit list). Jesperson was then upset the he was not getting the attention, so he first drew the smiley face on the bathroom wall where he wrote an anonymous confession for the murder, hundreds of miles away from
Recidivism is a big problem I this country, too many inmates return back to prison after being released. Many citizens are affected by this as well as the x-convicts and their families. Many children of convicts grow up without their father and could end up in prison themselves. It seems that these x-inmates have no chance to be reformed. This problem exists because there are not enough programs to help inmates be reformed and the little programs that are available they are implemented only after the inmate is released and not in the prison itself.
It was frustrating and infuriating to read internal government documents attempting to justify its blatantly wrong actions. The group photos of whole neighborhoods, where no men are present because they've all been rounded up to Camps or volunteered to serve in the military, were powerful images of how entire communities were impacted in those years. There are few shots of little children, holding on to their stuffed toys, crying and clinging to their mothers, that was just plain sad. The internment ends up with a landmark case Korematsu V. United States and a decision made by the supreme court, Ex parte Endo. The case stated that the exclusion process in general was constitutional, but the decision declared that loyal citizens of the United States, regardless of cultural descent, could not be detained without cause.
Last fall, Deputy Vrotsos told about 30 of the offenders that they would have to move to meet the requirements of Iowa's law, which he said made about 90 percent of the city of Dubuque off limits. The sex offenders are forced to live in very close proximity of each other since there is only a small amount of places where they can live. Which is very dangerous for families who live near these congested areas because it makes their children more vulnerable to these offenders? Many families who are living in rural areas near these sex offenders are moving because there are so many sex offenders living near them, they do not feel safe. How is a hardworking father trying to support his kids focus on his work while he knows that his kids are in great danger.
Alannah Francis All across the world, hundreds of thousands of children are forced to become child soldiers. They are numbed by the loud noise of gunfire and splatters of blood. They commit crimes to stay alive. Most importantly, when they come back from war, they face a dilemma. Recently, the new book, A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, a former child soldier, has drawn attention to the issue of child soldiers.
Johnny Hernandez Mrs. James 2 February 2015 Juveniles as Adults I believe that juveniles should be tried as adults because they are old enough to know what they are doing, the juvenile system fails, and teen’s parents/childhood. The reason I think this is because I read a story about a kid named Greg Ousley who murdered his parents because he felt like he wasn’t loved enough, he felt like all he did was embarrassed his parents. One day after school he was depressed, his dad didn’t seem to care as much nor did his mother. So he said, “He has to kill them”, so later that night he shots his parents with a 12-guage shotgun in the head. Then tries to play it off as if someone came to his house, murdered his parents.
In March 2012 four-year-old Daniel Pelka was brutally murdered by his mother and her partner. As the shocking news hit the headlines it quickly became apparent that his death resulted from months of abuse and neglect. And the saddest part is, that his death could have been prevented. Failure in social care led to Daniel becoming “invisible” in a system that was in place to protect him. A serious case review found Daniel Pelka, was simply "not heard" at times and "no professional tried sufficiently hard enough" to talk to him.
And everyone searches for r easons, and scapegoats, and soluti ons, most often punitive. Yet one solution continues to elude us, and that is ending the ignorance about mental health, and moving it from the margins of care and into the mainstream where it belongs. As sure ly as any vaccine, this would save lives. (2) So many have already been lost. This month Kip Kinkel was sentenced to life in prison in Oregon for the murders of his parents and a shooting rampage at his high school that killed two studen ts.
These poor parents are wondering why on earth would someone want to shoot defenseless children? My life has changed till that day, I feel so bad for the families behind all these children and adults. If I were put in the same situation where I sent my child off to school, and later realized that I will never be picking them up, I would be heartbroken. The teachers are heroes for risking their lives to help save as many children as possible. This is one of the main reasons why I believe that in the 2nd amendment “the right to bear arms” needs to hold back on the right to have weapons because of all the crazy people we have in this world.
