In 1954, the third period of KKK violence and racial hatred was launched, More recently it is clear that Adolf Hitler carried out one of the most heinous hate crimes of all time by slaughtering upwards of six million Jews (and others deemed unfit to be with the white Aryan race, including mentally disabled people, homosexuals and gypsies). Lost in the horrifying facts of what Nazi Germany did to Jews is the fact that Joseph Stalin -- in the 1930s and early 1940s -- killed "…many millions of innocent people" (Naimark, 2010, 2)
Hence, for years after, Christians were slaughtered because of their religion, so these need to be called hate crimes. Author Barbara Perry digs back in history and reports that it is ironic in history that acts like "…assault, theft, murder, and rape were crimes under common law," these same behaviors were not likely to be seen as "criminal when motivated by racism, ethnocentrism, or classism" (Perry, et al
The first federal hate crime legislation, Shively explains, was debated in 1985, and the first federal statute related to hate crimes was the Hate Crimes Statistics Act, passed in 1990. Subsequent to that Act, other pieces of legislation have passed: the Hate Crime Sentencing Enhancement Act; the Violence Against Women Act of 1998; the Church Arson Prevention Act of 1994; and the Equal Rights and Equal Dignity for Americans Act of 2003 (Shively, 3)
The homeland security also needs to ensure that the business community is aware of how to prepare for any emergencies that may strike at their business premises. This awareness that should be initiated by the homeland security department is crucial in ensuring that there is maximum safety at the places of work (Commonwealth of Kentucky, 2011)
This it has done through running several websites from where information can be obtained and even individual citizens can ask questions about emergencies and related disaster events. Homeland security department through Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has also undertaken to develop a matrix that guides employers at work places that would significantly reduce their vulnerability to terrorist attacks as well as reduce the effect of the explosion if any arises (Counter Terrorism, 2011)
The homeland security department has also undertaken to educate people about disasters and how to manage the aftermaths even at a national level. The DHS has been involved in several security operations like border patrols, cybercrime security, and disaster response and even to smaller things like availing information for families to use in case of emergencies (Homeland Security, 2011) as well as promptly responding to emergencies whenever there is one
Also terrorism can be seen as willful destruction (killing) of people or destruction of property by people not acting on behalf of an established government to redress a real or imaginary injustice attributed to an established government. However it is important to note that not all cases of willful destruction of people or property are acts of terrorism (Red Cross Organization, 2007)
In past, epidemiology studies focused more on cause of communicable diseases and that leads to work in identification of preventive methods. (Bonita, Beaglehole, & Kjellstorm, 2006) Steps and Methods of Epidemiology Epidemiology employs different sound scientific methods for the inquiry of the problem
Further researches are also been carried on African-American teens and HIV Transmission Risks. (Highleyman, 2012) The Government of Obama is also putting maximum efforts to create AIDS- free Generation
Epidemiology can be defined in detail as the study of distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations, and the application of this study to the prevention and control of health problems. (Last, 2001) Here, in the definition the distribution refers to analysis of persons, classes of people, places that are being affected by the specific disease and determinants refers to factors that influence population health; these factors may be chemical, physical, biological, social, economic, cultural, behavioral or genetic
However, Isocrates did charge a fee for his doctrine, something Socrates never did, and thus it may be tempting to label Isocrates a sophist, like so many of those other teachers who made a living by teaching. Keith Murphy, on the other hand, notes that Isocrates' Academy was responsible for issuing forth some of the "greatest statesmen, historians, writers, and orators of the day" (Murphy) and thus it would certainly seem reasonable to charge a fee for providing such a service
Isocrates did value rhetoric and composition over philosophy, even though he did emphasize truth and morality in his teaching. This may be why Isocrates is seen sometimes as a middle-road between Plato and Aristotle on the philosophy of absolute truth side and the sophists (like Gorgias) on the other side, who emphasized rhetoric and grammar rather than philosophy (Porter 383)
. ] My feet scuffed and round, and the heels all crooked that look dumb with this dress, so I just sit" (Cisneros 47)
Critic Annie O. Eysturoy writes, "Sandra Cisneros gives voice to the ordinary experiences of a young Chicana by letting Esperanza tell her own coming-of-age story" (Eysturoy 89)
Author Sandra Cisneros writes with knowledge and pathos of growing up Latina in America because she herself experienced the difficulties of growing up in multi-cultural family. Her mother is Mexican-American and her father is Mexican, and she spent her childhood "commuting" between homes in Mexico and Chicago (Kevane 47)
However, liability is limited to the corporation and offers owners' limited personal liability, which is something that is not found in a sole proprietorship or partnership (Corporation: Definition, Formation, Maintenance, 2012). Furthermore, a corporation is also considered to be a stand-alone entity that has separate tax liabilities; as such, the corporation is responsible for paying corporate taxes on any of the profits the company makes, however, each employee is responsible for paying takes on the money that is paid to them in the form of a salary, commission, or dividend (Lorette, 2012)
As she puts it, Researchers who study the structure and evolution of the American family express unsullied astonishment at how rapidly the family has changed in recent years, the transformations often exceeding or capsizing those same experts' predictions of just a few journal articles ago. (Angier 2013) Sharon Jayson quotes the results of a 2010 Pew Research Center poll that indicates some interesting and novel results
In the final analysis, any relationship that promotes the overall sense of happiness and well-being of the people involved is a successful one. (Hockenbury and Hockenbury, 406) I should make it clear that my own definition of family is one that embraces the "diversity' that the Hockenburys emphasize here
(Angier 2013) Sharon Jayson quotes the results of a 2010 Pew Research Center poll that indicates some interesting and novel results. According to Jayson, "86% say a single parent and a child are a family" and "80% say an unmarried couple living together with a child is a family" and "63% say a gay or lesbian couple raising a child is a family" and "88% say a childless married couple is a family" -- although surprisingly only "54% say a cohabiting couple with no children is a family" (Jayson 2010)
Describe the different definitions of death. Which do you support and why? "The most traditional way to tell if someone is dead has been to see if their heart is beating and if their lungs are breathing," but this is problematic given that many patients continue to live with artificial assistance to help their lungs and heart continue to function (Cline 2013)
