On the contrary, the National Incident-Based Report System is more effective than UCR since it was introduced as a more detailed version of the latter. However, the full potential of this system is yet to be realized because of assumptions that its crime data is intrinsically biased (Addington, 2008, p
NIBRS's greater specificity in reporting is also attributed to its inclusion of 57 kinds of offenses including those associated with domestic violence. Some of these categories that have enhanced specificity in reporting under this system include assault offenses, disorderly conduct, forcible rape, and non-forcible rape (Fantuzzo & Mohr, 1999)
While the use of these sources helps in dealing with crime in the United States, they have some similarities and differences between them with regards to methodological processes and implications. Uniform Crime Reports (UCR): Uniform Crime Reports were introduced in the late 1920s as the initial national, standardized measure of crime incidence (James & Council, 2008)
Notably, this is considered as the major disadvantage of UCR and NIBRS because it makes it difficult for the approaches to represent America to its entirety. While UCR program has acted a major source of data for a long period of time, questions regarding the accuracy of the reports have emerged despite the long consideration of the methods as authoritative (Lynch & Jarvis, 2008, p
While the UCR system enhanced reliability of collecting and publishing crime data, it sacrificed validity. Some of the major components it improved include data-collection forms, standardized descriptions, and data-collection measures (Skogan, 1975, p
The fact that antagonism is shown to be on the valid and right principle, it is always peculiar to polytheism. It is not that the struggle between Antigone and Creon showcases the struggle between basic structure and habits that are established and governed by man, which he sometimes has trouble bringing into harmony with his inner self (Beacham
Haemon Haemon is shown to be the son of Creon and Eurydice and is engaged to be married to Antigone. From this relation he urges and tried to persuade his father to allow the burial for Antigones brother and release Antigone (Braun, Richard
Admist all of this chaos Antigone rises to set right from wrong and in both the plays points out the flaws in the earlier version of the play she screams as to what she wants to do and will eventually do it and in the second world war version she shown to already have achieved some form of divine ruling from above. On this note one school of thought says that the character of Creon has massively abused his power and would have to veil the warnings to Pericles and the Athenian people about the horrendous dangers which lay ahead in relation to dictatorship (Radford
In Antigone Sophcles mentions the type of pride and arrogance that forces man to substitute divine laws with manmade laws which are limited in their thinking. In the context of the play Creon creates laws thinking that it will substitute the laws laid down by the Gods and calls it the Divine law hence showcasing pride which is worthy of punishment for no human is capable of creating laws that can substitute divine laws and claim it to be right and above any law (Saxonhouse
Creon as the state leader is shown to be cruel and selfish but since he is caught in conflict between his inner self he is also shown to be the sympathetic character that is shown to be abusing his power subtly, mainly by using his laws to separate the divine law provided by Gods. He is shown to be completely be loyal to his state and but when it comes to taking into account all the individuals of the state he is shown to be weak to human needs and poor judgment (Steiner
Determination throughout the play is shown to be linked to hubris and proves sometimes less of a gift and more of a flaw that all characters posses. In such times the need of a hero is obviously felt and Antigine rises to take that place with her sacrifice and pointing out right from wrong and what has been wrongly attained (Carpentier
The conflicts listed above are extremely close in relation, however this basic set assists in understanding and untangling of various important issues throughout the play. In the Antigone version which was adapted by Anouilh during the Second World War, the character Antigine is as having her values lined up in priorities in each set of laws and rules mentioned above, and Creon is shown in conflict with the second set (Donellan
The main focus will be on how and what the themes represented in accordance to the time line they were written in. Also various difficult choices were made in both the plays regarding the pertaining situation, we will analyze the decisions that were made and whether they were the right decisions to be made (Glissant
The counter side of human behavior shown in this dramatic poetry is that man, instead following his creator, listens to an inside character that is part of his conscious and gives in to his inner needs, desires and compulsions which leads to the ultimate and mysterious justification of man's actions, behavior and eventually his life. In Antigone, by Sophocles, Creon is used to describe the role of a hero who is met with tragedy in every path of his life and this tragic hero has a tragic flaw, hence we can see that the fat of Gods are responsible for his downfall and possess a Hubris (Harkin
This play was the outcome of the utter disappointment and surprise on the World War II and is one among a series of plays adapted during this by the dramatist. Other among adaptations there are Eurydice (1942) and Medee (first performed in 1937; published 1946)
Difference of Choices Antigone ideally represents the tradional conflict between a government and individual wants and needs and indirectly urges on following the laws and rules set by the state making the rule of the leader absolute and the definition of democracy is explained in the words of the state leader not the people who are the integral part of democracy. This includes that citizens are supposed to follow the laws that have been made by the people not the Gods and which the citizens have to obey (McDonald
Religious perceptions In addition, Shamanism is a wider concept than religion because it involves healing, medical ideologies, counselling, interpreting (for instance, dreams), therapeutic work, art, trance and others. Ellison and Levin term religion as "a multifaceted and multidimensional realm of human life that entails behaviours, attitudes, beliefs, experiences, values, and other (Johanson, Revonsuo & Wedlund, 2008)

For instance, Oesterreich (1935:295) asserts on the capability of Shamanism to develop the shaman's aspect of realization and given them, the ability of seeing with eyes closed. As (Kallio & Revonsuo, 2005), Johanson, Revonsuo, & Wedlund (2008) and Ashvind, (1999) asserts, through altered states of consciousness as well Eastern shamanic approaches, an individual is able to attain a states of pure 'ecstasy'
