“... Everything is possible for the person who has faith.” (Mark 9:23) this is one of the verses that personally helps me to reach what I dreamed to achieve. People who attend college face different challenges. Some may have to financially support their own while they study, others may have to adjust to multiple cultures and orientation and let themselves be vulnerable to learn new and different things from the people surrounding them, little may have to stress themselves with their projects and research study; to name a few. I may be fortunate for I have not considered the preceding circumstances as my major problem but as I have stated our problems are as unique as we are. Nevertheless, the obstacles that I have fought when I was still a …show more content…
I took Bachelor of Science in Criminology for the reason that I want to be a spy. I never knew the nature of Criminology until I was educated that Criminologists are supposed to be scientists. Criminology is a branch of social science that studies crimes and criminals; thus, Criminologists are social scientists that analyze what causes crime to happen and depict what makes a person criminal. However, in the Philippines, majority of the public sees Criminology students as future police officers. I personally consider this as a challenge and a burden as well because the more we hope to advance our knowledge and skills to be competent social scientists the more we are labeled to be brave police officers. I do not underrate police officers, as a matter of fact, I respect and salute their profession. The matter is the public tries to contain us in a box and tells us that the sole profession we can have is policing. We need support and courage to prove that we are worthy to be named as social …show more content…
We are also grateful to the people used by our Almighty Father who surround us. We are thankful to our family and parents who continually support and understand us and for always being there when nobody else was, to our instructors and mentors who share with us their knowledge and push us to grow holistically, to our friends who are always ready to listen to the words beneath our smiles and frowns, to random people who make us smile and laugh, and to some people who hurt us in peculiar ways. We are both glad for those who love and give us sweet memories and who hurt and give us life
Describe a time when you overcame a serious challenge. Explain the details of the situation and how you handled things and worked through things. A serious challenge I have faced is growing up with my grandparents. While most people say that I’m so lucky for it there is a lot they don’t know.
Society views college as the door way to success. However, many people fail to realize the same effort put into college also needs application after or failure starts creeping in from the side. Anna Chinero, a recent graduate, moved back home after failing to find a job. Chinero concludes her article, “Elevated by the Train”, by expressing, “instead of always looking out toward somewhere else, I’m beginning to look around here, wondering how I can make this neighborhood the better place my parents always sought for me.” Many graduates, like Ana, loose direction in attempting to achieve their dreams they possessed entering college.
When talking about the ongoing controversy and public debate on the outlook of police and community relationship a message or headline or even a video that is posted online involving an officer and an individual is going to be overflowed with every opinionated, negativity there is to say about how unprofessional the officer
When it comes down to it, officers have the great responsibility of keeping citizens safe and if there is no trust between these groups of people, then the system will not be successful and it will fail. Those in uniform have acquired a large feeling of distrust from citizens in some places because of these unfortunate shooting incidents. We need to work on building a better relationship between police and citizens because we are all in it together. The police are listening, they are there to help. It is a work in progress and every day we are moving toward a better tomorrow where we can all be seen
According to the TNCC 's Graduation Transfer Retention report, only 15.7 percent of students were able to complete their degree in 2012. This statistic is appalling because the students are working hard in their classes, paying the college 's financial gills, and hoping to get their degree. Some of student cannot graduate. I am attending Thomas Nelson Community College, and I hope to earn my degree within two years. Although college is difficult, I will be successful by seeking advice from experts and developing some effective study strategies.
In Law Enforcement and enforcing the law there is six areas in which police departments have been found to be defective or deficient. This is a very difficult topic for me to agree with because police officers are put in to very stressful and unknown circumstances on a daily bases. In many cases these scenarios require a decision to be made in a split second or it could be life or death. This split second decision has months and months to be twisted and picked apart by lawyers, jury, and mostly the media. Another reason police receive such attention is because it is their job to be in the view of the public at all times and today’s technology is making it even more difficult for them to effectively and efficiently do their jobs.
Post secondary criminology degree programs review the need for intervention at a young age, and that in order to hinder juvenile crime, its causes must first be understood. The legal system, however, disagrees. This situation is chiefly dangerous because teens who abuse limitation drugs may do as they involved. There are many constituents that contribute to juvenile felony, terminate, but not limited to, poor training, low multitude attendants, noble impression, damage socioeconomic condition, and firmness abuse.
This is not accurate to say the least. Officers are expected to live by near impossible standards set on them by the community they police, and if one individual was to taint the job the community can flip on them and make the job of being in law enforcement tougher than it
Officers abuse their power and most of the time get away with it which is not right, they are figures that the public trust to enforce the laws and keep them
Integrated theory does not necessarily attempt to explain all criminality but is distinguishable by the idea of merging concepts drawn from different sources. Integrated criminology tries to bring together the diverse bodies of knowledge that represents the full range of disciplines that study crime (Schmalleger, 2012). Integrated theories provide wider explanatory power (Schmalleger, 2012). Integrative theories are like diversified theories and focus on criminal behavior and criminal activity while other theories focus on punishment and crime control (Jeffery, 1959). Integrated approach combines concepts and propositions from two or more prior existing theories into a single new set of integrated concepts and propositions (Elliot, 2017).
Criminology is the wider area that is used to evaluate the context of crime. The scientific study of criminals and crime is used for evaluating the basis and reasons of crime done by people. It makes use of different theories and school of thought in order to analyse the reasons behind criminal activities. The main purpose of this paper is to consider one criminology theory or school of thought. The criminology theory that is used for analysing the requirements of this paper is rational choice theory.
Is College Worth the Cost? Life’s success is achieved in different ways. (Director, n.d.) A lot of television programs and magazines instills the idea in us that being successful means; having a fulfilling career, having a lot of money and being powerful. Most religious and spiritual organizations, in contrast, claim that success means being at peace with God and finding spiritual happiness.
In the “College Pressures” essay, made by William Zinsser, he shows the reader the struggles that college students have while they are in school. Within the essay he brings up the four pressures that college students face: economic, parental, peer, and self-induced. Zinsser makes his essay easy to understand by not being extravagant with his words and very straightforward. He also likes to transition from relatable topics and how he views them into interesting examples.
Collegiate Eases In “College Pressures,” from The Seagull Reader: Essays, William Zinsser explains the stress and obstacles college students face, he was a master at Branford College and was exposed to college student’s breakdowns. In the essay Zinsser explains that college students face four different types of pressures: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. Zinsser is master of Branford College and he uses his first hand experiences with students to explain how the four types of pressures effect students. College students are too worried about their future and obsess over grades that they miss out on experiencing college to the fullest degree.
According to Andrews and Bonta (2010) the psychology of criminal conduct ( PCC) can be defined as an approach to scientifically understand the criminal behavior of individuals through a systematic approach. Additionally, the psychology of criminal conduct is considered to be interdisciplinary, and considers all aspects of science that will assist in the further comprehension of an individuals criminal behavior, and the causes of criminal behavior (Andrews and Bonta , 2010). Andrews and Bonta ( 2010) stated that the psychology of criminal conduct can be considered a subfield of criminology and psychology due to common beliefs and common interests with both disciplines. Furthermore, the psychology of criminal conduct can be described as using
