The Incarceration Of The Correctional Institution

The correctional institutions are established for correction of behaviors by law offenders. The society expects that once an individual comes out of the correctional facility, he is a reformed person. In addition, these facilities are always expected to warn the law abiding citizens to deter them from committing a crime for fear of being in the correctional cells. However, the population in the correction facilities especially prisons is contrary to this expectation. Over time, there is increased number of offenders. This comprises of the new offenders and the repeat offenders. This causes overcrowding in the correctional facilities which is a challenge to the society. The focus of this problem is the social effect of overcrowding to the judicial system and ways of addressing the challenge. Overcrowding in correctional institutions Crime is punishable for three reasons namely retribution, prevention and deterrence. The main purpose of incarcerating offenders is to stop them from repeating previous crimes they committed. Appraising the current American system using these standards, the deterrence category has failed miserably, insufficient in prevention and providing unsatisfactory retribution through detention. Attempts to deter released criminals who are convicted are dismissed by the recidivism’s high rate (Tish Burbank, 2009). This is evident through the rising population of new offenders undeterred from crime.

All Quiet on the Western Front

All Quiet on the Western Front- Erich Maria Remarque Chloà © Magee 4O Miss Davies Essay In All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque depicts the truly gruesome events of the trench warfare of World War I. It is narrated by an imagined first person, Paul, whose poetic nature makes the reading of the novel, and indeed the horrors of the war, more heart-wrenching and believable. Remarque uses this novel as a means to tell the story of the boys and young men of the â€Å"lost generation† and of the sadistic jingoists who forced them into a life they never wanted. Paul Bà ¤umer is a nineteen year old German soldier fighting in the trenches of World War I. He is the protagonist of the novel and always has a philosophical take on things, which, although somewhat stunted by the brutalities of warfare, is always present throughout the novel. Paul takes more time than his classmates to get used to life in the trenches and when the first of his friends from school, Kemmerich, dies it has a dramatic impact on him: It occurs to me that those fingernails will go on getting longer, long after Kemmerich has stopped breathing. I can see them before my eyes twisting like corkscrews. Paul cannot believe that everyone in the hospital is taking Kemmerich’s death so lightly and the fact that one of the orderlies describes Kemmerich as â€Å"just another fatality† angers Paul. However, he soon understands the reality of war and seems to forget about Kemmerich. Paul quickly realises that grieving for every soldier who dies on the Western Front is just going to get him killed, so like his classmates he turns into an animal and completely shuts out the human part of his brain to be able to cope with the stress he endures in battle. Paul goes as far as to say that â€Å"if your own father came across with those from the other side you wouldn’t hesitate to hurl a hand-grenade straight at him!† showing that they must become hunters, obeying the orders of the commanders, and explains how after every attack, it takes a while before they â€Å"turn into something like human beings again†. Remarque puts across this new-found animosity by showing how Paul comes to terms with the soldiers’ deaths: Mà ¼ller is dead he passed on his boots the ones he inherited from Kemmerich that time. I wear them, because they are a good fit. By relating Mà ¼ller’s death in such a blunt sentence, Remarque expresses how Paul no longer cares about the deaths of his comrades. Perhaps moving on from the loss of his classmates implies that he does not want to think about it too much in fear of digging out the emotions that he had so carefully buried. Furthermore, Paul spends more time explaining why he is wearing Kemmerich’s boots rather than telling the story of how yet another comrade has died, showing than he now feels that practicality —good boots— are more important than life. However, this is just a vicious cycle as the boots are passed on again when the previous owner has died, which shows that good boots of course cannot help to keep you alive in the war, and whether you are killed or not is just chance. This theme of chance is considered in depth throughout the events of the novel. Kat, as he is known is the unofficial leader of Pauls company and has a knack for scrounging up food in seemingly impossible situations. Though half his age, Paul builds a strong friendship with Kat and when he is killed by a stray piece of shrapnel, we catch a glimpse of the old Paul: .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a , .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a .postImageUrl , .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a , .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a:hover , .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a:visited , .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a:active { border:0!important; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a:active , .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ue3c6e0c189f5d69ea1541da461d0707a:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Billy Liar EssayAm I walking? Do I still have legs? Everything is just the same as usual. It’s only that Private Stanislaus Katczinsky is dead. After that I remember nothing. With his best friend dead, all the emotions that have built up inside Paul are gradually starting to show. As with Kemmerich’s death, Paul does not quite know how to react to Kat’s death, which shows that he has come full circle and is now back at the beginning, representing the true futility of war. Moreover, he refers to his best friend –whom he normally calls Kat– as â€Å"Private Stanislaus Katczinsky† which takes away the strong bond they shared and returns Kat to just a soldier. Remarque describes the brutalities of the war so graphically that it couldn’t be anything but true. Gà ©rard Duval is the first man who Paul kills in close proximity and since this scene appears quite early in the novel, Paul describes this experience in great detail and the guilt he feels is almost too painful to put into words: Every gasp strips my heart bare. The dying man is the master of these hours, he has an invisible dagger to stab me with: the dagger of time and my own thoughts. Before Paul joins the war, he and his classmates all believe that dying for your country is the most honourable way to die. However, in this scene Paul realises that war is anything but that. Once the Frenchman dies, Paul has a great deal of respect for him and realises that war is pointless and that all the soldiers are just puppets in a game they had no reason to be in and Paul blames his old school teacher, Kantorek for not preparing them for the real world. Kantorek’s patriotic sentiments and bullying forced Paul and his classmates –whom he proudly calls the â€Å"Iron Youth†Ã¢â‚¬â€œ into volunteering for the war. Remarque uses Kantorek as a way of rebelling against the ideals that this teacher filled these young men with before sending them unprepared into the war. Kantorek ironically is drafted and this gives Paul and the rest of his classmates an opportunity to show him what trench warfare is really like and the fact that Kantorek makes a terrible soldier reflects the hollowness of the ideals that he preaches and in reality knows nothing about. In conclusion, it is apparent that the message behind Remarque’s narrative as a whole has a double meaning: the first is obviously to depict the despairing horrors of the First World War. The second, however, is less obvious and it celebrates human endurance and loyalty to one’s comrades. These two features of the novel are perfectly represented by the characterisation of Paul Bà ¤umer whose life is snatched away in the war, the last young man to die in his class that had joined the army to fight in the war together: He fell in October 1918 He had sunk forwards and was lying on the ground as if asleep his face wore an expression that was so composed that it looked as if he were almost happy that it had turned out that way. This ending is narrated by an unknown person, but by the level of description –similar to Paul’s description of Kemmerich’s death– it is not outrageous to assume that he was a younger soldier who had not yet been broken by the horrors of war like Paul had been. Paul’s death as an ending has a feeling of inevitability because the reader might think that Paul would die in battle, trying to save another man’s life, but the unremarkable nature of his death is quite unsettling and makes the reader realise that Paul Bà ¤umer is just another name in the list of young men whose lives were taken away by the First World War.

World Issues Essays - Demography, Population, Human Overpopulation

World Issues There are many important world issues. Among these issues, we have studied the rapid growth of the world, which was the topic of critical importance. The extraordinary rapid increase of the world population constitutes a serious problem in which no citizen of the world can remain indifferent. The public has become increasingly aware of the dramatic rise in the rate of the world population growth during the three centuries of the modern era. There is a tendency on the part of many to see rapid rates on population growth as giving rise to a barrier on a road to progress. This may threaten peace and stability in the world because the population growth may make it impossible to meet in a timely fashion, the reasonable aspirations of hundreds of millions of people in the underdeveloped countries. During the first three centuries of the modern era, from 1690 - 1990, the world population has multiplied five times, from 1 to more than 4.5 billion. Over this time span the population of Europe increased six times, and of Europe and European occupied areas in the Western Hemisphere and Oceania combined about eight times. The population of North America increased about 160 times and that of Latin America about fourteen times. During the same period, the population of Asia increased by less than 4 times (however, this contrasts with what must have been a much less rapid increase earlier. The absolute increase in Asia however was very large.) In Africa, the population merely doubled. It is clear that greatly accelerated growth occurred first among the nations that first experienced modernization - the combination of "revolutions," including the agricultural revolution, commercial revolution, science revolution, and the technological revolution. Explosive population growth, th! e "vital revolution" - a pace of growth without precedent in long settled areas - did not approach nations in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, until after Wold War I and especially after World War II. Rapid growth has been one of the three related population phenomena generating public concern. The two other are the increasing concentration of people on a relatively small portion of the Earth's surface - a phenomenon of better urbanization and mertopolitanization and growing diversity of the people who share the same geographical area and increasingly, the same economic, social, and political systems. World population growth is entirely the result of natural increase - the excess of births over deaths. If mortality declines rapidly and there is a high birth rate in any given country, there will become a heavy child burden that marks the beginning of overpopulation. The reasons for this remarkable change are not entirely clear. One cause was certainly the widespread control and virtual elimination of Malaria and other insect-carried disease. Other causes were widespread use of vaccines and modern drugs in less developed countries. There also has been speculation that human beings have developed more immunity to some microbial diseases that the virulence of some microorganisms has declined. The disadvantages of high birth rate are not generally admitted for two reasons. First there is and ideological prejudice against admitting that a high birth rate can in any way be harmful, and so anti nationalist policy does not generally appeal to politicians. Secondly, there is widespre! ad belief that an ever-greater pool of manpower is a military and economic asset to a nation. It therefore comes as a shock to many people to hear it maintained that one of the demographic factors weakening a nation's powers is a birth. No one can maintain that a pre-industrial birth rate is always and in every way disadvantageous. In certain instances, it may be an asset. But an analysis of the effect of birth rates on a nation's efficiency will show that in most cases today the advantage lies with a low rather then a high rate. The rapid population growth has economic, social, and political effects. It also interacts with public education, health, and welfare, and the qualities in which people live. Economic Consequences: Rates of population growth in many less developed countries are at least half the rate of economic growth and in some cases equal the latter. Chiefly because of high fertility of these countries, the ratio of
