Hispanic Discrimination in the Justice System Recently there is an increased perception of the Hispanic community receiving unfair and unequal treatment from the US Criminal Justice system. The major concern is that the Hispanics are incarcerated before conviction more often than the whites. More than half of the people that arrested daily are racial and ethnic groups. A good percentage of Hispanics have encountered police, and for most of them, they always have a negative experience (Vazsonyi,668). Hispanic are more likely to be stopped by police and given a ticket because of their physical appearance. Most of them also feel that if they called police, the police would not come to help them, and if they did, they would come when it is too late (Urbina). They also feel that they are more likely to be ill-treated by a Hispanic policeman than a white policeman would treat them. The main reason being that they are looked down upon because they are not educated. Hispanic is a fast-growing population, but as the population grows, the number of Hispanics in jails has…
Book Report: The Impossible State The book report is based on The Impossible state: Islam Politics, and modernity’s Moral predicament by Wael Hallaq. The author identifies the Islamic state as an impossible state because the modern Islamic state devoid of morality from a European intervention perspective as the morality referred in this case is drawn from European genealogy. Hallaq development is a contrast of the European development with “paradigmatic Islamic governance” with a deep focus on morality based on paradigmatic sharia, which has overtime failed to accommodate absolutism and a hierarchical disciplining apparatus. Hallaq arguments are based on the rise of the modern state and how Islamic governance compares to the European monarchs. According to Hallaq,[1]power monopoly, sovereignty, subjectivity formation process dominance, and the discursive abstraction of a state as a timeless, universal, and enduring state are modern state’s delineating features. Hallaq thus results in tracking the rise of sovereign, powerful European monarchs. These European monarchs, according to Hallaq, had legislative power and used the power to instill power order and discipline in the society. Comparing the European sovereign monarchs…
Developmental Changes in Parent-Child Communication throughout Adolescence Annotated Bibliography Glatz, T., & Buchanan, C. M. (2015). Change and Predictors of Change in Parental Self-Efficacy From Early to Middle Adolescence. Developmental Psychology, 51(10), 1367–1379. https://doi-org.db20.linccweb.org/10.1037/dev0000035 Glatz & Buchanan (2015) conducted a longitudinal study to assess the mean-level changes in Parental Self-Efficacy (PSE) and various predictors of developmental changes among parents of adolescents. Using longitudinal data set from 398 parents, the study performed a latent growth curve analysis and hypothesized that “theoretically driven predictors reflecting the developing child” and ecological context could be applied to predict the level of PSE (Glatz & Buchanam, 2015). Although the study recorded high levels of PSE, the level, and amount of change in PSE, the parent had a decrease in PSE during the developmental period of the child. Some of the predictors of changes included physical changes in the adolescent, quality of parent-child communication, target-based anticipations of parents for risk-taking during adolescence, and ethnicity (Glatz & Buchanam, 2015). The study is applicable in the research subject matter, mainly because it shows how increased difficulties in communication…
Business communication D and A Chapter 1 In all organizations, conflict arises, and it is the duty of the conflicting personnel and the management to solve these conflicts amicably without any compromise or any of the party feeling short-changed as it may raise another conflict in the future. In the article Conflict Management: Difficult Conversations with Difficult People by Overton and Lowry (2013), they provide proper information on the benefits of conflict management and resolution, skills used in conflict management, and ways or steps necessary in a successful confrontation conversation.

Toxic personalities exist in the workplace and are described as the people who regularly display behavior that incapacitates individual teams and the organization in the end or over the long term. In managing conflict that may arise in a workplace, a person has to understand their emotional and physical reactions to situations…
significance of common good to leadership After critical and careful analysis of chapter 5, I came to realize the significance of common good to leadership. Common good originated thousands of years ago. However, as times passed by, new translations have continued to emerge-with the recent being from John Rawls. In simple terms, common good is making ideas, decisions, or plans that will benefit a community as a whole rather than just a selected few. This is totally contradicting to the utilitarian principle that demands choices to be made in regard to their consequences. One main reason why leaders seek to achieve common good leadership is to put the interest of their followers first. They aim to direct their perspectives toward other people’s welfare. At the same time, common good leadership involves disrupting the status quo in order to connect to the diverse group of team members or citizens. Remember, good ethical leaders are change agents. And you cannot bring positive change in a society without personal interaction with them. Also, you cannot be effective in bringing change without putting the…
factors influencing thoughts and behaviors related to gender Different factors influence thoughts and behaviors related to gender. For example, a choice for a child to play with a doll or a truck or to be involved in an active play or passive play is more contributed by innate desires developed by biological factors. In most cases, female kids are mostly attracted to playing with dolls, while male kids are primarily invited to playing with the truck. This could be contributed by biological factors in that women are useful in children nurturing while men are good in physical works. In some other cases, most male kinds are found to be associated much in active play as compared to females. This shows that there is an internal force that controls the behavior of the young ones. In my view, gender identity is mostly influenced by biological factors. One can be able to identify if a child is a male or a female when observing its behavior without consulting any other person. Prompt 2 There are different language development theories that have been…

The boss is available to oversee what we do, and I cannot do the wrong thing. I would instead consult the boss. Our relationship is strictly professional; any perception apart from that is your own opinion. By providing more information about this point, I will be glad to respond to it accordingly without hiding any detail. Thank you. A hard to please client snaps at you for not returning his phone call in a timely manner. I am sorry for not returning your calls in a timely manner.

It would be inappropriate to call you without any explicit intervention to…
