On September 11, 2015, Morgan Simpson (heretofore referred to as “Simpson”) and I attended the General District Court of Pitt County. We observed criminal court from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. in District courtroom 4 with the honorable Judge Dean presiding. We opted to attend this court simply because it worked with our schedules; we were not required to miss classes or work to observe. Upon our arrival to the courthouse, the limited number of parking spaces near the court was all occupied. We were required to park by Town Commons on First Street. That was the first indication that court was going to be packed. The other indicator was the line of individuals waiting to go through the security checkpoint. The line formed at the security scanner was

Most young adults in the United States cannot wait to turn 21, so they can drink alcohol, but not this girl. I was from a smaller community and rarely ventured farther than the rusted barb wire fences of my families ranch. However, shortly after my 21st birthday life began to change. Applications got submitted, then came interviews, tests and more interviews. “You’re hired” said a voice on the other end of the phone. That had not told me much only where to show up, when, and how to dress. Basic Academy, just by the name I knew it would be a lot of work. One month later after passing more tests, learning the rules, more on dress, and expectations, they said I am ready to work in the largest prison in the state.

The story of Jackie Robinson parallels the life of many African Americans, who ore whose family, left the South in the hope of better living conditions. He was born in Cairo, Georgia as the youngest of five children to his mother, Mallie and father, Jerry (Robinson and Duckett 13). As Robinson puts it, although slavery had ended by the time he was born, a new kind of slavery began, where blacks were physically free, but were still working in plantations and were struggling to make a living (12). His mother could not accept that, so after his father left the family she decided to move to Pasadena, California with the children. First, they

The time frame was August 2013. The day started out like any other day in Afghanistan hot, dry almost unbearable for life in the desert. I was the EWO (Electronic Warfare Officer) for my company. I started my day like all the rest prepping all the Vehicle counter warfare systems and personnel systems for the company mission’s.

In Cahn and Abigail’s (2013-06-07) opening to Managing the Conflict Climate they state that no matter where you are, you’ll be in an environment that makes you feel either comfortable or uncomfortable, both mentally and physically. The five opposing concepts that make up the conflict atmosphere are individual decision making versus groupthink, supportive behavior versus defensive behavior, equality versus imbalance of power, cooperation versus competition and trust versus distrust. A nurturing conflict environment encourages mutually satisfying outcomes, openness, collaboration and assertiveness through trust, supportive behavior, equal power, and cooperation. The harmful conflict climate fosters avoidance/accommodation behavior, “chilling effect” and a competitive escalation cycle due to defensiveness, power abuse, distrust and competition (p. 135). I encountered both types of conflict climate while serving in the military.

2-My second military assignment in Germany, I was promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant (E6) in a transportation battalion in charge of six motor vehicle transporters. Although, Staff Sergeants aren 't greater in authority per se than an E5 they do in fact oversee more troops.

At this level I were more influential and significant in offering experience and counselorship to officers and others above and below me in rank. However, my day-to-day responsibilities consisted of supervising the operation of wheel and track vehicles to transport personnel and military cargo. Also, some of my other job

The occurrence was a physical confrontation in which caused me to be suspended from school and any after school activity for a brief time.

In my physical confrontation he decided to punch my head at an attempt to try and break my jaw. The consequence of this lead for the opposing student was a criminal charge of assault and I was given no criminal charges and was defined
