Turn Of The Century Lynch Mob
1,526 words
In this age of computers and fax machines, we as a
people have devised and set up laws that protect
us and keep us on the right track. However these
laws and rights that each American shares and
enjoys today, have not always existed. Common
people, who were forced to face injustices and
were railroaded by the system because at that
time, no one before them sought to challenge the
laws or there was no need to change them, has
fought them for. Even though, these laws were
changed and new ones were...

Philosophical Investigation 6 54 Wittgenstein
1,007 words
Why did Wittgenstein come to call the propositions
of his Tractatus "senseless" (6. 54)? The
conclusions and final philosophical position of
Wittgenstein's Tractatus undermine and deny the
possibility of his methods and objectives. Namely
he concludes that metaphysical conjecture and the
attempt to answer unanswerable questions is
senseless. Since the Tractatus throughout posits
solutions to the questions of reality, the
meaningfulness of language and the possibility of
human knowledge it has to...

The brutal murder of 6 -year-old Jon Benet Ramsey
on Christmas night in 1996 shocked America to its
core. Just as the Lindbergh baby kid napping and
murder seven decades earlier had seared the
nations consciousness, this murder of a beautiful

crime occurred and no one has been brought to

Private Prisons And Special Interest Groups
1,649 words
Privately owned prisons began to emerge in the
mid- 1980 s. These prisons emerged because of the
ideological imperatives of the free market, the
huge increase in the number of prisoners, and the
substantial increase in imprisonment costs. (1)
Proponents of privatized prisons put forward a
simple case: The private sector can do it cheaper
and more efficiently. Corporations such as
Correction Corporation of America and Wackenhut
promised design and management innovations without

White Settlers Trading Post

The year was 1862. America was now engulfed in its
Civil War. By this time in American history, more
than 150, 000 white settlers were moving into
Native American soil. The majority of the Woodland
Sioux land had been surrendered, and what was left
of their land was vastly overpopulated. To add
insult to injury, the white settlers constantly
insulted the Santee's and insinuated that they
were better then them. That summer was a very bad
one in terms of crops and cattle. Settlers as well

Run The Investigation Tiny Particles Oswald

Before we started the section on John F. Kennedy
in our class I would have said that Lee Harvey
Oswald assassinated him without a question in my
mind. After reviewing videos on this subject in
class I am now not so sure. Was there really a
conspiracy to kill Kennedy or as a nation do we
over analyze something that was an open and shut
case? After reviewing the information in class I
do not think Oswald was the lone assassin. I do
not even think that Oswald was the assassin. The

Michel Foucault Psychological Effect
733 words
In "Panopticism" Michel Foucault describes the
"practices of investigation" which in turn gave
rise to a society that was under constant
surveillance. Soon the society became a
"disciplinary" society. Michel Foucault explains
the study and effect of "Panopticism" which gave
rise to many social sciences, which included
sciences of man, or human behavior. It is evident
that the effect of "Panopticism" had a great
psychological effect on the disciplined society.
