SOURCES ABOUT JUTICE

Ms. Kristy's homework

According to Wikipedia The Free Enciclopedia: ''Criminal justice is the sistem of practices and institutions of governments directed at upholding social control, deterring and mitigatin crime, and sanctioning those who violate laws with criminal penalties and rehabilitation efforts.
In the United States, criminal justice policy has been guided by the 1969 President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice, which issued a ground-breaking report ''The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society''. This report made more than 200 recommendations as part of a comprehensive approach toward the prevention and fighting of crime.
Some of those recommendations found their way into the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. The commission advocated a ''systems'' approach to criminal justice, with improved coordination among law enforcement, courts, and correction agencies. The President's Commission defined the criminal justice sistem as the means for society to enforce the standards of conduct necessary to protect individuals and the community''.

BRAINSTORMING ABOUT JUSTICE

Ms. Kristy's homework.

Justice is a big word and means a lot for me. We can't live without justice, because justice is like a pilar, that protects us againts all the bad things. Justice never stop, day and night fights for the good reasons and for the good things. All the people that are involve, work so hard just to make it much better.

Justice is in everywhere, I can do bad things and then run away, but sooner or later justice will be there for me. I think that's why I love to watch accion movies, or those movies where the the law [justice] always plays a role. In those movies, the bad guys do a lot bad things and then run away but later on they got cought.

The same happens in the real life, I had heard in the radio, watched in the TV, readed on the newspapers, and told by others people about all the bad guys and all the bad things that are happening in this world. But I think, that sooner or later justice will be there for just to make the right think.

When a mother take cares of all her children, I think justice does the same think, it take cares of its all people. This is what justice means for me too. I can say that justice is an act of courage and it is made it for the good people. For those persons who still believe in it, for those persons who really wants a a better world and a better future.

In conclusion, I can say that I'm one of those persons that still believe in justice, because I still believe in a better life and a better world. And I still believe too, in those persons who work so hard for just to make the justice much better. Justice is a very good reason reason and very important for me, because without it, this world would be more dangerous than it is now.

BRAINSTORMING ABOUT JUSTICE

One day my family and I, were in the living room watching TV. Suddenly my mom started to talk about an injustice. She was referencing to one of her friend. My mom said that the police made an injustice about one son of her friend. We were intrigued and ask her - how come?

She said that one night the son of her friend was hanging out with his friends. That night, they were driving one of his friend's car by all the Detroit's streets. They were driving so fast and with a louder music. Suddenly this guy ask to his friends - why they were acting like crazy people. At the moment no one of them answered him.
Later on one of them just told him - you are with us and you have to support all that we are doing or something bad can happen to you.

He couldn't do anything and he felt pressure by his friends. He didn't unterstand why his friends were talking to him like that. After a few minutes later, he noticed that they were on drugs.
He had a bad feelings and he felt that the worst thing could happend to him. And he wasn't wrong, after of many hours doing that, the police got the report that some gansters were making problems by all the streets. The police started looking for them, and later on they were caught. There was five people in the car, and the police notice that four of them were on drugs. Then the police started to inspention all the car and for their surprise, they were carring drugs.

The guy just got in shock, and he didn't understand why his friends didn't tell him anything. The police took them to jail, they were interroget. The judge found them guilty, this guy fought for his rights argumenting that he was innocent and that he didn't know about the drugs. But the judge didn't believe him. He never found his innoccent, so he went to jail and he pass five years in there. He was a U.S resident and he lost all the rights of this country. After the five years in jail, he was sent to Mexico.

In conclusion, I don't know if this guy was really innocent or guilty. But, I can say that there are many cases similars to this. About this cases, is going to be always the debate between justice and injustice.

HOMEWORK CHAPTER 3

MS KRISTY'S HOMEWORK - practice 5.

Narrowed topic: My brother Alberto
Controlling idea: is smart and a successful person.
Topic sentence: He never give up in one of his goal.

Alberto is my second brother. I really admire him because he is very smart, and a successful person. Since he stared to go school, and when he discovered what really wanted he never stop it. Now, he has a career and I'm very proud of him. Every day I saw him doing his homework, many times until the midnight. There were days that he didn't eat anything, even more many times he didn't sleep very well. I remember that when my mom saw him, she just got very worried. One day she told him - if you don't eat anything you're going to get sick, and he just said - don't worried mom is for a good reason. Now she's very proud of him, and the rest of the family too. He always worked in what he is now - a mechany ingeneer.

Narrowed topic: A time when I wasn't in control.
Controlling idea: Many times I can't control my anger.
Topic sentence: I do a fool things everytime that I get angry.

Many times is too difficult to get along with my anger. For example - three weeks ago like every morning at 6:00 am before I get to start to work, I have to go first to the stool deparment and just to get what I going to need. That day there were a few workers after me, and it took me a few minutes to get my tools. After that,when I started to work one of my work partner came to me and told me - I need this material, can you bring it to me? Yes, just give me a few minutes I said. Then a few minutes later my supervisor came to me and told me with an angry voice - what is happening you don't look the clock, is thirty minutes later and you are just getting started. Where were you, your partner is waiting for material - I know he just told me I said, and then I had a big argument with him. I got very angry and I did something fool - I just ran away from my job, I don't know what I was thinking. The next day I was more relaxed, and I showed up in my jod. I thought that they were to going to fire me, but that didn't happeng, they just gave me a warning. That day I wasn't in control.

Narrowed topic: An act of courage.
Controlling idea: Courage is the meaning of persevere.
Topic idea: To follow our goals, we need the courage to get them.

One of my goal is to go to the college and get a degree. But of course I need of this word - courage. I can say that I want to do this or I want to get that, but If I don't have the courage to do it, all my words go away and see my goals just disappear. I want to be a successful person and get a career just like my brother Alberto. I know that is not going to be easy. I know too that I have to work very hard, just like him. With an act of courage, I can make this dream come true. I heard people say - when you want something there are many obstacles to get trought. But only the wisdon people say - any obstacle is impossible, with an act of courage you can trought it.

The July 4th is an special day for the USA, and for me, I can tell that it is special too. I've been in the USA for 9 years, and my experience from this holiday, it has been nice because during all this time I had learned how the american people celebrates the July 4th.
For me, the July 4th means an special day, even when I don't know much about this event. It is an special day because first of all, I feel that I'm part of it, secondly because I like all the events from this holiday; fireworks, barbecue, parties, picnics, etc, and the most it is an special day because every July 4th, I got the day off, and I got pay for this day.
What I do is to go a picnic with all my friends, and we celebrate it with barbecue, beers, and of course with mexican food. After the picnic at night, we just start with the fireworks.

Well, I don't know much about July 4th, but I did my research and I foud it from: Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia.
