The United States of America is often referred to as the “land of the free and the home of the brave” and the land of opportunity. Some people might say this is true‚ and others would have to disagree. The family and friends of the five unfortunate adolescents who received life in prison without parole‚ presented in “When Kids Get Life”‚ would beg to differ. Ironically‚ the United States is among the very few countries across the globe that permits 18 year olds and younger to be legally sentenced

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

population growth occupies an important place in population study. Fertility though a biological phenomenon is often influenced by number of social‚ economic and cultural factors and as a result we come across fertility differentials from population to population. Fertility is regarded as an instrument for perpetuation of human society and one of the basic determinants of population growth. It is a matter of fact that every society replenishes it self with the

behaviors‚ depending on with whom they interact- their differential associations. A prison groups may differ in whether they view a behavior as deviant or not. This theory suggest that people in prison act deviant when they feel encouraging about violating norms then adhering to them. These prison woman use the “neutralizing beliefs” to reduce the apparent disapproval of the deviant behavior. In this show you definitely see the modification of differential association’s theory with regards to the positive

The salary gap between genders has been a predominant issue in the sports arena. Women are continually paid less than their male counterparts‚ but men experience pay differentials between each other in some sports. In male dominated sports‚ such as hockey‚ baseball‚ and basketball‚ there is a variation in an individual’s salary that adversely affects the team’s performance and vice versa. In a capitalist society‚ everybody is paid what their work is worth. Sports such as hockey‚ basketball‚ and

Maxima and Minima First Derivative Test 1) We are given the function First‚ we find the derivative: We set the derivative equal to 0 and solve: Since the domain of f is the same as the domain of f’‚ 4 is the only critical number of f. Testing: x < 4 | f’(0) = -8 | f is decreasing | x > 4 | f’(5) = 2 | f is increasing | By the First Derivative Test‚ x = 4 is a local minimum. 2) We are given the function First‚ we find the derivative: We set the derivative
