The mindsets of warrior vs. guardian are two models that are distinct from one another on ways to approach policing. December 2014, there was a highly publicized officer-involved shooting; in its wake, more than twenty cities reached settlements or entered consent decrees with the D.O.J. because of a history of repeated patterns for some police practices that were considered unconstitutional. After that, the White House put together a task force whose main objective was examining all the policin...

While only 56% of the current jail inmates admitted to taking illicit substances, the actual percentage is probably much higher due to the increasing number of individuals in a program like drug court. Programs to rehabilitate criminals, such as drug courts, recovery opportunity court (ROC), and family courts, are becoming more popular. Most states are now offering them to free up jail and prison space. This paper will cover the criminal justice issue of illegal drugs and go over how the judicia...

This journal will go over how women's artistic expression and movements for social change intersected in the late 20th century. It will provide two examples of creative women from that time whose art helped make social change possible. Lastly, I will discuss art and social change intersecting in my community.

In this Journal, I will compare how the statuses and attitudes toward women during Gilman's time compared to the lifestyle of women in Herland. I’ll speak about how Gilman challenges widely held views about women’s nature in times of the Renaissance, the Victorian ideal, and during the time she published Herland. I will give my opinion on what attitudes about women (gender ideology) and limitations on women's lives I see in my lifetime? And lastly, what are some changes that have occurred ...

The two creative women I will discuss are Artemisia Gentileschi (159–1653) and Barbara Strozzi (1619–1677). While reflecting on the topic, I will consider questions such as, did these women benefit from having family support or professional networks, or were they excluded from them? Did these women have access to education or artistic training? Did they challenge the existing power structures? And if so, were they successful?

Since the very beginning of time, there have been exceptional women who refuse to be told who or what they can be. Today that is not unheard of; however, in the 17th and 18th centuries during the Baroque period, artistic women were few and far between. It took a strong and fearless woman to stand up for what they believed in and push back against a system composed of mostly men that were built for them to fail. As time went on, gender ideologies and society began to change, realizing that women ...

This journal will discuss how gender ideology impacts women's creative expression and illustrate examples of creative women from the Renaissance period. I will explain how a woman's nature and role impacted their work. Lastly, I will reflect on how the contemporary activism of the Guerilla Girls addresses similar issues in today's art world.

The history of religious conflict and violence had painted a vivid picture of the past, leaving us to wonder if the conflict and violence were really due to religion or did religion get blamed when it was really for economic purposes or political gain. There are individuals and religious groups that use their faith to justify their immoral actions. However, for most, their religions are a safe haven where they are surrounded by like-minded individuals who love and support one another. Further re...

History vividly paints religious conflict and violence; it begs the question of whether the conflict and violence stemmed from religion, or was religion used as a weapon for economic purposes or political gain? For some individuals or religious groups, their beliefs are what they use to justify their horrible behaviors and actions, which they, in turn, use this immoral ammunition to carry out their violence. However, many people feel that their faith and beliefs make them feel safe, and they hav...

According to numerous previously read articles, to be a global citizen basically means to respect and nurture our fellow man while having respect for ourselves regardless of where in the world you reside. Having global citizenship is important because it encourages every individual to think more in-depth and critically about what they considered equitable and just; it also means thinking about and acting on what everyone can do to help minimize harm to the planet. Exploring global citizenship al...
