The Silence of the Lambs Introduction The Silence of the Lambs shows us about the criminal nature of humans and the reasons why people become criminals. It shows us about women in careers and the unseen struggles they face while navigating the work environment. An analysis of this film shows that psychopaths are hard to change even with medication and rehabilitation. Also, women are intelligent and don’t need to have males or have ‘favours’ to climb the career ladder; they can do it on their own. Women are strong, and can even solve some problems in a way that the males cannot. Background information The silence of the Lambs is a film adaptation of the book by the same name, written by Thomas Harris.

It is believed that people abuse drugs or even take drugs out of addiction or also to ensure that they feel good and be in a state where they able to proceed with their activities. Prescription is an order written by a doctor where a patient is directed on how to particular drugs, a process called prescription medication. In his book “Drugs, Society and Human Behavior,” Carl Hart is more concerned about drug use and the effects resulting from the use of the society and the individual. However, there is much concern about the issue of legalizing prescription medication and alcohol. According to his statement, Carl seems to support the legalization of prescription medications and alcohol. He believes that the drugs posses less danger to their children and the community at large than do the adulterants used to cut drugs by people. He gives an example of street…
Ethics in Christian vs. Non-Christian Companies Religion is understood as the most crucial factor in an individual’s perspective of business ethics and the process of developing personal values. This feature, however, is examined and challenged in the business and economics perspectives since each player in business practices has to uphold ethical business conduct (Otte, 2009). In the workplace environment, however, the relationship between the two ideologies differs based on the position of an individual in the organizational structure. This paper evaluates the role of religion in business ethics by examining the responsibility of different players in the workplace environment. A religious-based ethical principle develops as a personal code of conduct in how a person carries out their activities daily. In this approach, a Christian employee in a company applies his/her ethical principle in the operations without a direction from the management. Therefore, a Christian employee doesn’t have different obligations or responsibilities to an employer than a non-Christian employee. The duty to do more in the workplace should develop as an individual decision rather than coercion from the management, which would…
Cultures Were Not Benefiting Human in History For ages, people have always linked culture and history together and assumed that culture plays an integral role in history. Culture has been used as a way to define the life of people and understand their history. Culture can be described as being a way to characterize the arts, customs and traditions of a society, community or a group of people. Culture is essential in giving the lives of people value as well as an identity. The difference in culture also makes people feel unique because they have cultural traits that are not present in other cultures. Culture helps explain the habits of people living in a society. To understand the differences between people in history, one must understand their way of life. Thus, most people might have an assumption that culture is a critical component in human history. However, culture does not hold any benefit to history whatsoever. Understanding the way of life of people does not necessarily help to understand their future or come up with ways to solve their problems.…
safeguarding and protecting the rights of vulnerable adults Question 1 The most exciting content in the unit EDU 514 is about the established acts that aimed at safeguarding and protecting the rights of vulnerable adults. These acts include The Sexual Offences Act 2003, the Human Rights Act 1998, the Health and Social Care Act 2008, and the Public Interest Disclosure Act, among many others. The Sexual Offences Act focused on individuals with mental disability as well as the offenses involving abusive types of relationships and also the abuse of trust (Johnson, 2016). The Human Rights Act discouraged treating individuals with no act of humanity, which leads to torture. This act also emphasized the right to liberty for every individual unless under specific legal justification. Additionally, the Health and Social Care Act protected the people using residential care by subjecting them to the Human Rights Act. The Public Interest Disclosure protected all the workers in public, private, and voluntary sectors from being victimized in employment through lack of proper health and safety facilities while in an organization as well as breaching…
Effective Communication Question 1 In all Dr King’s speeches and conversation, the language of restraint was evident. In particular, in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” he attempts to reveal his purpose and the envisaged effect through his creative use of ethos, logos as well as pathos. Based on the context within which the letter was drafted, the tone portrays King’s remarkable restraint and composure that is rare. All along in King’s career, several of sceptics accused him of engineering for segregation together with other policies inclined toward racism. Nonetheless, using the power of his tone, he appeared committed to stand for different purposes. In the first place, the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” strictly sticks to King’s eventual intention of seeking to justify his hard stand as being the pursuit of justice. Martin Luther King Jr never wished to validate the deep-seated fears of his audience that the movement championed by the Black was an extremist sect seeking to stir-up violence. Consequently, his restraint earned him a sympathetic audience whereby he managed to declare his firm embraces of tension and extremism.…
An Ideal Society with Greatest Happiness Happiness was a concept that emerged during the enlightenment era. Jeremy Bentham, a philosopher, argued in his book “Introduction to Morals and Legislation” that happiness is determined by psychological experiences (Bentham, 1789). Other philosophers supporting utilitarianism argue that public policies should focus on people’s happiness. Importantly, the achievement of the greatest joy for the greatest number of people is not always desirable and realistic. Several strategies can be used to promote the greatest happiness, although it has been argued that fostering such pleasure to the whole society is unreasonable and unfeasible (Veenhoven, 2007). Happiness can best be described based on the quality of life. Although society can provide the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, not all people prioritize happiness. Urban design and architecture can foster happiness to many people in society. Urban planners and architects should focus on designing cities that attract a huge number of people. Although the towns might be small, the building designs should be friendly to all people as careers and work impact happiness on people by helping…
Supreme Court Hearing on the Harvard Racial Discrimination Case The Students for Fair Admission led by Edward Blum is suing Harvard university. The organization is accusing Harvard of its unfair admission procedures that prefer other racial minorities to Harvard students. The Asian American Coalition for Education (AACE) has taken up the case. Yukong Chang, stated that the Supreme court should issue a total ban on racial discrimination in college admissions. Blum cites that Harvard is involved in a quota system that discriminates against the Asian community. The university, as the defendant, would, however, argues that in 2018, the Asian group was 22.2% of the admitted class. Harvard could also add that the supreme court has allowed the institutions to use race as one of the factors to consider when accepting students. In addition to this, Harvard could also give a guideline into its holistic approach to admitting students. As a lawyer who draws upon legal realism and critical legal theory, these are the arguments I could make for the case. The primary proponent of Legal Realism had a belief that…
Angel Island; A Haven for Injustice The life of a detainee is neither easy nor enjoyable. We take the freedoms and human rights written in our constitution for granted until they are taken away. Being detained goes against everything the American constitution entails about the rights and freedoms of its citizens. As an immigrant, one feels left out and out of place because of them in a new land and foreign country. The unfamiliar surroundings, the people, and the customs of America are new to immigrants, and it is not an easy task to adapt to life in America. The culture in this new country is different from my own’s. Their way of life is also different from the one back in my hometown. The people are welcoming but at the same time, not friendly. They look at us immigrants like aliens who have come from another planet to take their lives, jobs, and way of life. Even though the country’s constitution protects the rights of every person living in the country, the rights of immigrants are ignored by most…

Thereby attracting many foreign direct investments as business opportunities bloom in this part of the world.
