Chicago's Violent Daily Life: Video Analysis
The video “Chicago’s violent daily life- gangs and crime- full documentary” talked about the crime that occurs every day in Chicago. The family Newton and other residents talk about their experience living in south Chicago. What the video mentioned is true; there is a lot of violence and crime occurring there. This video did a good job on informing how people are in danger everyday of their lives. Also, one of the characters in the video said that it is very easy to get a gun like it is to get gasoline which means almost everyone in that city has a gun.

    Savagery in Chicago Suburbs

    The article “Girl Fight: Savagery in The Chicago Suburbs” written by Susannah Meadows and Dirk Johnson, and published in May of 2003 by Newsweek still arouses controversy and shivers, especially for parents who have children that sooner or later will be attending high school. Not only the privileged Glenbrook North in Chicago suburbs in particular, but what Newsweek called savagery, could happen anywhere if there is a mixture of teenage brain, alcohol, lack of supervision, revenge and unfortunately the pressure for social acceptance.…

    Violence In Cincinnati: Historical Reflection

    Dan Hurley’s article, Violence in Cincinnati: an Historical Reflection, reminds us that “Racism is culturally engrained and institutionally embedded in American society” (Hurley,12). Hurley begins his essay by recounting the shooting of Samuel Dubose by officer Ray Tensing. This recent shooting proves his point that racism has been a common theme in Cincinnati for over 200 years. ”Between 1819 and 1841 there were four race riots in Cincinnati” (12). These riots included a mob of white citizens rising up against black communities, such as Little Africa, in an attempt to remove them from the city. “The emergence of abolitionism and the founding of the Philanthropist newspaper stirred…

    Personal Narrative: Gun Violence In Chicago

    When it comes to violence, there is one type of violence I think is skyrocketing out of control in Chicago: Gun violence. As residents and I believe we all can agree that it is shame that for the past 5 years or so, gun violence has taken such a toll. Especially, if you were born and raised here. I remember growing when gun violence was not a huge concern.…

    Active Shooter

    In the Active shooter presentation, we went over what reality would be like if we had to encounter a shooter at our school. The officer showed live clips, had a power point presentation, and talked about how to deal with the situation. This set students into the realization that a shooting could happen anywhere, at anytime. It’s a matter that should be taken serious. This subject is something that most people tend to overlook. In the presentation, the live reenactment videos really showed us how easy it is for a shooter to get in, and how hard it is for the victim to get out.…

    Police Brutality In The Ghetto

    The only time a problem in the ghetto gets addressed is when a cop murders a black male. Which by the way “every 28 hours a African American is killed by a security officer” according to alternet.com. Police brutality is a very big problem in ghettos all around the world. “Although black men make up only 6% of the U.S. population, they account for for 40% of the unarmed men shot to death by police this year” according to WashingtonPost.com.The officer that committed the murder usually gets just a slap on the wrist. Since the officer never gets punished it keeps happening. The media never really talks about any of the issues in the ghetto unless its police brutality.For example Trayvon Martin was murdered by George Zimmerman while Trayvon Martin…

    Gang violence is a major problem in many places in many places, and if the Interrupters keep up and expand their work, it could be lessened. According to the US legal website, "Gang violence means criminal and non political acts of violence committed by a group of people who regularly engage in criminal activity against innocent people."

    Gun Shows And Gun Violence Analysis

    The scholarly article “Gun Shows and Gun Violence: Fatally Flawed Study Yields Misleading Results” first appeared in the magazine American Journal of Public Health in 2010. It was co-written by Garen Wintemute, David Hemenway, Daniel Webster, Glenn Pierce, and Anthony Braga. In their Journal entry they aim to convince their readers that the widely publicized case study “The Effect of Gun Shows on Gun-Related Deaths: Evidence from California and Texas” is a bunch of nonsense. “We believe the study is fatally flawed”. Toulmin’s Model, along with the three appeals to argument, are techniques frequently applied by the authors used to create their convincing argument.…

    Gun Violence In New Orleans Research Paper

    People come to this city all year and embrace the culture and atmosphere to experience different events. Like the Essence Festival, Jazz Fest, Mardi Gras, or just to tour the French Quarters. But there is so much crime poverty here beyond the beauty of the French Quarters, drugs, homelessness and other situations often go unnoticed by tourists. When walking home from school one day after practice trying to get home because it was getting late, and I saw two men arguing with each other and the other man pulled out a gun a shot the other man right in front of me. I covered my eyes until the gunman left and then I ran home to tell my mother. I didn’t want to go to school anymore; it took me at least three to four week before I would come out side again. It gave me nightmares and I kept seeing it flash in front of me over and over again. Another time I went to the grocery store for my mother just to pick up a few things, upon leaving the store, I was walking up the street and this guy pulled a gun on me, telling me to “give me your money”. I dropped the things that I had in my hand and gave him the money and then I ran home. I was so out of it; when my mother asked me “where is the food”, and I responded to her “I was robbed” and she called the police. The police came out to take the report and wanted me to give a description of the guy. But all I could remember was that he had on a white tee shirt and blue…

    Police Brutality And Violence Analysis

    Violence between police officers and citizens has resulted in, and continues to yield, an unfortunate, growing number of deaths of both parties. Police brutality has already caused 345 civilian deaths in just 2017 alone, according to The Washington Post. Over the past few years, police shootings have been gaining increased negative attention in the press throughout the country, even to the point of sparking the “All Lives Matter” and “Black Lives Matter” movements. On the flip side, the number of officer deaths has also escalated since 2013, with 143 deaths caused by citizens in 2016. Although controversial, implementing a body camera system throughout police departments across the country would be a step towards preventing the tragically high…
