2) There are VERY fascinating punishments implemented all over the world.  Research caning in Singapore and the Michael Fay case. Find out about when they use this type of punishment, for what crimes, who is subject to caning, how it is done, and whether it is effective in their society. Give a detailed (in your own words) description of what caning is, what is used for, it’s effectiveness. How does rational choice theory apply to this form of deterrence? What 2 concepts from our chapter on rational choice theories can apply to caning in Singapore? Do you think caning would reduce crimes based on the cost-benefit analysis? How effective would caning be on reducing recidivism rates?

 

 

You can choose one of those two questions and write 200 words minimum.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on The People Have Never Stopped Dancing: Native American Modern Histories by Jacqueline Shear Murphy. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Dance exists in manifold contexts thus there is a tension between studying it at depth and doing it within its wider and immediate contexts. The study of the background history of dances goes way back to prehistoric times since through doing this is when researchers are able to trace the gradual changes that it has undergone. Dance can be referred to as the moving of one’s body part rhythmically or in a specific pattern which in most cases is done in the accompaniment of music. This can also be defined as a pattern of movement using improvised gestures and steps. Dance is done for musical enjoyment especially when someone is excited and wants to express their particular state. Dance can also be done to express one’s sentimental feelings.

There are many different types of dances in the modern world and all these types of dance are used to express what an individual or a group of people feel about a certain situation. Dance can be used to express contentment and in most cases, this can be seen when an individual has undergone a particular situation that calls for a celebration like passing an exam, a football team has won the match, or when one has won the lotto. It is not very clear for one to state when dance became part of the human culture because there are no specific artifacts that one can use to make claims. There are many stories of how people used to celebrate in the medieval era but in all these stories there are no clear indications of whether people used to dance or not thus the background history of dancing still remains unknown to date.

Dance has been considered as a very important part of any given ceremony both in the modern world and in the previous years before civilization. Even though there is no such evidence of dance in the pre-historic times concerning dance, people have always known about dances and this has happened naturally due to the fact that people have always been performing rituals and celebrations. Some archaeological sites in parts of India and Egypt tend to depict images of dancing people with claims that they were in existence in approximately 3300 BC thus this means that the art of dancing has come a long way and human beings have been embracing it naturally.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on In your opinion based on the facts why did the Romantics NEED to creat the space they did after the scientific emphasises of the Enlightenment. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required.

Why did the Romantics need to create the space they did after the scientific emphasizes of the Enlightenment? Why did the Romantics need to create the space they did after the scientific emphasis of the Enlightenment? The answer to this particular question should start with the recollecting the definition of romanticism. Romanticism is the intellectual and artistic movement in the European and American culture in the late 18th century-the first half of the 19th century. It is characterized by stating the value of the spiritual and creative life of an individual, a strong (often religious) passions and characters, inspired and salutary nature.

This movement was spread to different areas of life. In the 18th century everything odd, picturesque and existing in books and not in reality was called romantic. In the early 19th century romanticism became the symbol of a new direction, the opposite to classicism and education.Romanticism is sometimes interpreted as a reaction to the Enlightenment, however, it is believed that romanticism was formed in the context of the experiences that gave rise to the industrial revolution, as well as a piece of the response to the call of Napoleon.

Romanticism is a particular world view that has shown itself in a variety of areas: philosophy, politics, economics and history, literature and painting, poetics and linguistics. Romanticism claimed universality. its purpose was to synthesize the entire human knowledge, to understand the world in its unity and diversity. The theorists of romanticism in their works turned to music, art, philology, history (McCalman).The historical fact of romanticism origin is French Revolution, which clearly demonstrated the complexity and contradictions of the historical process of the human greatness, seeking to transform the world and its limited forces.

To some extent romanticism sprang from the bitter historical experience, which created a keen feeling of the contradiction between the beautiful theories and the harsh reality. For romantics the ideal and the real are tragically separated, but the ideal is above the real (Breckman).Actually, if the romanticism could have avoided returning to myths and fairytales, how would we get to know about these creations? Without this returning, we would learn only about the scientific discoveries, but they would not contribute to our mental life.

The fact that can’t be disproved is that people have always cared about their spiritual would more than about material things. Really, every discovery is first imagined and only then is proved with the help of scientific research (Ferber).Romanticism is closely connected with the science, it is even a continuation of it, but it made stress not on material, but on the spiritual as the essential part of human soul, without which humanity can’t exist. Our life will not be beautiful and pleasant if we focus only on something material, on scientific achievements forgetting about our mental life and desires.

This is the reason why romanticism had to return to myths and fairytales, because they create the wonders for us. The scientific achievements can be disproved, but the wonders will always exist and can’t be confuted. Works citedBreckman, Warren,&nbsp.European Romanticism: A Brief History with Documents.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Topical Analysis of Hamlet and Henry IV part 1. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required.

In the 16th century, the world was moving towards a change but was still in the realms of conservativeness. The palace of the United Kingdom was still in place and Queen Elizabeth was the queen of that palace. In these times when people were afraid to pass certain comments on certain topics, Shakespeare had the courage to use his skills and write on particular subjects which were not common in those days. In the times when all these topics were impossible to write on Shakespeare made a great move and wrote on these topics with immense care.

&nbsp.Henry IV Part I is a story about a King and his rebellions. It revolves around the greed for the kingdom and the betrayal of the king. King Henry leads the story as the king but soon faces problems at the hands of the people because of whom he has reached the throne. King Henry is not content with the actions of his son Prince Harry who is more diverted towards the materialistic world. Prince Harry not only does involve in drinking but he also makes friends with liars and burglars. This creates a gap of misunderstanding between the King and the Prince.

However, the change in the plot takes place when one of the loyal noblemen of the King betrays him and shows his greed for the attainment of the throne of King Henry. Hotspur is the name of the character that betrays the King and forces a civil war to pertain to his kingdom. Furthermore, he also gathers allies in order to fight the army of the King and defeat him, but it is later known that most of his allies refuse to take part in the war. Seeing the situation of a civil war in the state King Henry calls upon his son to fight in the battle.

Prince Harry comes back to the throne only to fight and win the war for his father. Hotspur is defeated by the army of King Henry with the help of his son and both the father and son get back on good terms. In this sequel, Shakespeare tells about the greed one has for the throne and the inner conflicts which a kingdom can face. However, in those times it was impossible to point out at the royal kingdom and the greed which people have for the throne.
