Contemporary Issues             Contemporary issues is an idea or event that is important or relevant currently. Teenagers in the current era face problems in their day to day life at a time in their life when they are experiencing internal as well as external struggles. Since they go through a lot and are expected to cope with them such as hormonal changes or parental and social forces, they end up feeling overwhelmed. Some of the typical contemporary issues faced by teenagers include; cyber addiction, depression, completion and peer-pressure, bullying, and last but not least, drug and substance addiction. This paper aims to research on the contemporary issues facing teenagers, its effects on adolescent behavior, external stressors associated with the problem and provide support options for the question presented. Drug and substance abuse, for instance, is when teenagers decide to take illegal drugs or legal drugs but not prescribed by a physician leading to a continuous habit of taking the pills. Studies have proven drug abuse to be among the causes of severe health conditions, and some of the cons towards…

Biological positivism Biological positivism is one of the theories that has been used to explain the origin of crime. Crime is when an individual goes against the rules and the laws that have been agreed upon by a community of a nation. In trying to look into the reason why people commit a crime, the environment is a trigger, according to the theory (Dr. Kris 2020). There is an environmental factor that might trigger an individual to commit a crime even though the criminals make the decision to commit a crime. Environmental factors might be involved in provoking or restraining a particular behavior. They, however, do not cause the commission of the crime. According to Cesare Lombroso, ‘The Criminal Man,’ there are criminal behaviors that are motivated by an individual’s mental and emotional state. The individuals with emotional imbalance might be motivated to commit a crime by things in the environment, such as religion or certain occurrences. The theory suggests that people do not just wake up one day and decide to commit a crime or become criminals. There are…

Criminal Evidence   Presentation of criminal rules before a court of law follows the rules such as relevance, weighty, and sufficiency. Evidence should be linked to the case either directly or can be directive. It should also hold weight and can be used to guide the jury in making decisions. There are seven reasons for having rules of evidence, which include equality, values, fairness, efficiency, quality, emotions, and improper conduct. The three reasons I find most important are fairness, quality, and improper conduct. The rules governing presentation evidence should ensure that evidence presented promotes fairness when passing a decision. In my opinion, presenting evidence in a court of law allows the jury to make a fair and just decision ensuring that the innocent and set free and the guilty are sentenced. Therefore, evidence that will not heed to this policy should not be considered evidence. Another reason for having rules of evidence is quality. Evidence presented in court should be substantial enough to settle a case. Any verdict passed should be on high quality evidence. In my opinion, a case…

Reaction to the article by Wilson and Kelling (Broken Windows)             After critically reading the article, I have a strong feeling that it is very informative, not forgetting being educative. For instance, the piece is professionally written. Indeed, the authors of the article are very conversant with the issue of police and public safety. Notably, Wilson and Kelling stipulate well-thought arguments that are supported by evidence. Findings of intensive research studies also support the provisions of this particular article. I feel that the suggestions provided in the article should be implemented in the police department to increase safety. Firstly, I agree with Wilson and Kelling that foot patrol significantly reduces the overall mobility of security officers (Wilson & Kelling 1982). It is indeed difficult for officers in the foot patrols to respond swiftly to security alarms and emergencies. A large number of security guards indeed dislike foot patrols following the numerous hardships associated with it. Secondly, I agree with the two authors that there exists a solid relationship between disorder and crime in society. For instance, disorder and crime have…

Decision making using system modeling A closer analysis of chapter 5 shows that the author highlights an open-source software tool, EMA workbench, that has the capability of undertaking EMA and ESDMA modeling. The EMA workbench can be instrumental in creating a model that can serve a great deal in developing a policy for a smart city arrangement. One of the policy areas where EMA can be instrumental is in regard to traffic light placement. In this case, the workbench can be used to help in the execution of movement lights, especially in the face of crisis, and this will be enabled by smart data science technology system. In this case, an android gadget with speaking capabilities can be incorporated with the movement lights. The integration of speaking capabilities in the movement lights will help in reducing reaction time in the face of crises. Apart from traffic light placement, EMA can also be used in surveillance camera coverage. Such kind of innovation will have the capacity to gather information and, at the same time, disseminate such in real-time. The use of…

advantages that are available for the students who graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business The notion that if a person graduates with a bachelor’s degree is a loss and that one will tarmac for many years in search of a job is a lie. I tend to disagree with such claims. Many students who had an interest in pursuing their degree in the line of business have changed their minds and gotten into other different careers because of false claims that they have heard connected to the business field. People think that many workers have flooded the business environments leaving no space for more jobs. This essay will discredit these claims and reveal the many advantages that are available for the students who graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business. Firstly, the students that have graduated in the business sector have a more significant advantage than those who do not have the skills. This is to say, and if one has graduated, then there will be less competition in the job sector. Therefore, the claim that a person will…

Colon Cancer and Relationship to Immune System Introduction Colon cancer also called colorectal, or bowel cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the colon or rectum. Colon cancer usually affects older adults; however, it can as well happen at any age. It usually begins as small noncancerous clumps of specific cells called polyps that develop inside the colon or rectum. Often most of these polyps develop into colon cancer. The polyps are generally small and may or may not produce any symptoms. However, the doctors recommend regular screening to help in identifying the polyps as well as removing them before they become cancerous. There are various treatments available for colon cancer. They include radiation therapy, surgery, and drug treatments like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. A colon is the last part of the digestive system. Signs and symptoms of colon cancer It is not easy to identify colon cancer at the early stages because its symptoms are barely noticeable, and when the symptoms appear, they are likely to vary depending on the size and location in the colon. …

Corporate fraud Introduction In the contemporary world, money is stolen from corporations by use of the pen to the extent of creating a significant problem. Globalization has created a dynamic business environment that is characterized by increased competition for profits and market expansion. Stock prices act as an indicator for corporate performance, and this results in undesirable but intentional corporate fraud by business managers. According to the Standard on Auditing (2004), fraud is defined as the use of deception by an individual with managerial and governance responsibility to attain an unfair and unlawful competitive advantage. As such, corporate fraud is an intentional act to possess money, property, and enjoy corporate advantage through illegal means (Singleton & Singleton, 2010). Therefore, corporate fraud exists where there is a false statement, knowledge of management, strong belief, and financial damage (Golden et al., 2016). In a business organization, corporate fraud occurs through embezzlement of assets, corruption, and provision of false financial statements (ACFE, 2014). Asset misappropriation is a type of corporate fraud that is undertaken by employees, and it results in misuse of the…
