Factors that influenced the Plymouth colony’s views on crime, law, and justice Plymouth was one of the first settlement areas of the colonialists who had traveled from England after separation from the Church of England. Although many of them had lost their lives during the journey, in December of 1620, they anchored in the shores of Plymouth to form their first permanent settlement after boarding Mayflower three months earlier. Plymouth’s colony was influenced by immigrants who were escaping war from their original countries following clashes with other nations. These people came in form refugees while other people were also fleeing religious persecutions. Different religious groups such as the Church of England, Martin Luther church, and other Protestants were looking for places where they could worship in freedom. These different people formed groups and cooperation and looked for various opportunities. Stratton also points out that these immigrants were then funded by the host governments to go and form colonies (Stratton, 1986). This was probably how the Mayflower landed on Plymouth after breaking from the Church of England, whom they felt had…
Federal and state government criminal justice The disagreements between the federal and state governments have existed in the United States for a long time. The federal government and California have clashed on many occasions on issues related to criminal justice.one of the significant disagreements has been on the subject of immigration laws. Immigration is usually controlled at the federal level, and the Immigration Reform and Control act were chiefly formed in 1952 to prevent illegal immigration. The immigration laws are controlled by congress, while the White House is in charge of enforcing them. The jurisdictions over the rules of migration have been continuously upheld by the United States Supreme Court, who has overruled some of the decisions by state governments to single out immigrants. Control, however, the many states, including California, have passed immigration laws that would allow undocumented immigrants to access public funds and that the local police should protect the arrested immigrants who reside in those states. The Californian government stated that their state does not succeed despite their diversity but thrives because of their variety. They make…
Deaf Culture Report Sign language has existed for over 200 years since the early 1800s. The language has evolved through the integration of different signs accrued over time to form today’s ASL. Children born deaf have grown in a society that has forced them to believe that they live in a soundless world because they cannot hear. The children have no choice but to accept it as the norm and to obey their guardians who were listening and without prior knowledge of ASL (Vpro World Stories, 2017). Sound is common in their lives, and as much as their ears cannot perceive sound waves, they have learned to rely on the non-verbal cues: body language and facial expressions from people around them. People assume that because deaf people cannot hear, they move stealthily like cats. However, this claim is false because they are human and are expected to make sounds when in motion for others to respond (TEDx Talks, 2012b). It is actually the expectation that deaf people are clumsy and make so much noise when moving. They have, however, had…
Gyn/affection Discrimination is an ever-present threat to gyn. “Gyn/affection” is a term that has been used to refer to the strong yet complex relationships between females (Raymond, n.d). My research on the claim has been done through readings such as Libra Bray’s “Beauty Queens” and my previous essay on female friendship narratives. Female friendships have widely been regarded, by females and males alike, to be the most open, honest, relationships in existence. The notion, to some extent, is true, as women have developed a sense of oneness with each other over the years due to the similar challenges that they all face in society. Discrimination, objectification, assault are only some of the multitudes of societal obstacles that women have had to encounter to enable them to fit in a society that holds men to a much higher regard, without proper reasons as to why. The shared struggles have brought up, within themselves, a bond strong enough to enable them to fight for their rights in an increasingly unfair world, and possibly acquire equal recognition as men in the current world.…
The Effects of Technology on Oral and Written Culture Folk material delivery, especially storytelling and other folk sculptures like drama, in the past few decades, has writhed proper perceptions and in-depth analysis. This is because they were grim to comprehend or convey contextually or even manifest the same information to printed text and still maintain their efficacy to the informer. Due to this, they suffered from a lack of sophisticated electronic devices like cameras and videotapes, which could be used to record the performances. Most of the traditional activities are only based on the existing environmental circumstances, which were beyond storage and retrieval. To maintain cultural beliefs and customs, it’s essential to ensure such information is passed from generation to another. Failure to create storage materials, traditional ideas are rendered meaningless. The development of electronic devices has created an enabling environment for highlighting the intricacies of contextually centered performances aggregated to the artistic roles in oral narratives. The urban legend is a genre of folklore comprising of the stories assumed as accurate, especially if it has happened to a…

Meaning Of Freedom, Equality, and Justice in the U.S. Constitution Introduction The promise of the United States, according to the founding father’s ideals was to promote equality and offer liberty to the great people of the United States. The constitution embodied principles of freedom, balance, and justice in the natural rights that were ideally to remain unchanging through time or cultural changes. The USA is a diverse country, justice, freedom, and liberty are major unifying factors for the people of the United States. Liberty and equality have stood out to be the most dominant dimensions of quality in the American constitution with liberty being held as the first principal to emerge and it was commonly shared amongst the founding fathers of the nation (Dworkin 27). For instance, the 14th Amendment has overtime stood out as the representation of equality. Despite being protected in the initial constitution, it took the United States a long time to achieve actual equality and freedom. Through the amendments that actualized the liberty and balance within the 14th Amendment as the cornerstones of the American constitutional…
Freedom of Speech Issues touching on free speech are the most contentious in the contemporary liberal world. The contention arises from the conflict on whether there is value on the freedom of speech. In cases where freedom of speech is not highly valued, then there is no conflict. However, in cases where the freedom of speech is highly valued, then controversies arise on the grounds of the limitations that arise from the limitations that are placed on the freedom of speech. Noting that there are limitations placed on the freedom of speech, it befits to state as Stanley Fish did, that there is no such thing as freedom of speech (Shiffrin, 2014). This discourse shall seek to address the university’s policy concerning free speech. It will also present the arguments that are present for the promotion, preservation, and limitation of free speech. Lastly, it will name the critical values of the university and describe how a particular policy will uphold these values. In satisfying these values, this paper shall seek to prove that there is no freedom of speech in…
Zerophilia Film-Gender and Identity Introduction Gender identity is a phenomenon that, when raised carelessly in a contemporary world, would perhaps result in constant debate. The formation manifests itself at an early stage of one’s lifetime based on the subjective feeling of leaning towards baby-girls/ baby- boys. Boys would prefer to play with boys. Similarly, girls would play with girls, and so is the assigned tasks. Basing on the film Zerophilia, the essay will explicitly discuss how each one is defined by gender and whether it shapes the way humans react in so many concepts. Later, the study will emphasize how different groups in the community view gender. Gender definition Human beings tend to belong to specific gender formation based on a personal realization of being either male or female. The concept is generally derived from the early stage of sex orientation by the community. The outward manifestation is probably seen from the behavior and the tasks they are assigned to perform. ‘Zerophilia’ is a film production released in October 2006 in North American which tried to explain ‘Zerophilia’ as a…
