As early as the history of minorities and the criminal justice system in the United States goes, judicial bias, lynching, discriminatory sentencing, and prosecutorial bias have contributed to the racial disparities in representation, sentencing, incarceration, parole, and probation. The United States is a racially diverse nation with democratic governance, but the society faces marginalization. The proportion of ethnic groups in the control system, especially for minority blacks, is far more significant than the ratio of the group’s population count. This disparity has mostly been caused by law enforcement policies and emphasis on community law enforcement. Crime control policies such as the war on drugs have been crime control policies that have brought about disparities in crime and justice (“reducing racial disparity”). Such other guidelines as the three strikes, truth in sentencing, and mandatory minimum sentencing were mostly enforced in the minority concentrated areas. This created a moral panic about crime and the threat of the African American group. This gave way to the manifestation of racial disparity in key justice systems as law enforcement, courts, and corrections. Beside policies, racial…

Australia Bush Fires Bushfires are a type of wildfires that burn through large areas of bushland. The fires are common in hot, dry weather areas like in Australia, parts of the USA, and Africa. Regions in Australia include the most bushfire-prone regions of the world. Causes There are various possible causes of bushfires. The fires can either start naturally, for instance, when lightning strikes and ignites dry plants and trees. Bushfires can also be caused by people, for instance, when a person fails to extinguish a campfire properly. Climate change does not directly cause wildfires. However, climate change plays a central role in making the bushfires large and more ferocious. Due to increased global warming, earth experiences intense and longer drought periods, which dries the vegetation. The dry vegetation provides good conditions for bushfires to start. Impacts Bushfires have significant effects, most of which are negative. The Australian bushfires have resulted in the loss of life, human and animal, and massive property loss. The most destructive fires are preceded by a combination of extremely high temperatures, strong winds, and low…

Australia Australia faces challenges in housing affordability in the 21st century. It is a problem that reduces the ownership of houses and stresses rental households. The most affected individuals are low-income employees in the housing economic market. Dwelling prices are on the rise due to the economic housing global trends. Notably, there was a decline of ten percent in ownership rates of individuals between the ages of 24 and 35 years from 1981 to 2011 (Groenhart and Burke, 2014).

The poem ‘Daddy’ by Sylvia Plath is an emotional and complex message aired by the poet to her late father and her husband. It brings out many themes, including hurt, anger, and oppression of women by their male counterparts. The poem is written from a woman’s perspective, whereby she is addressing the oppressive memory of her father and her struggle to set herself free from the memory. The speaker begins by addressing the harsh conditions that she went through, which are no longer necessary. Then, she addresses her father, claiming that she had to kill him, although she never had a chance to finish him.

Knowledge Knowledge is particularly an essential aspect concerning both state and global economic development. It necessitates the need to develop effective strategies that can be applied in various institutional systems. According to Rodrik (2014), most developing nations have taken a step towards economic stability with a subsequent reduction in the number of poor people. The facet has been effective in most Asian and African countries due to ideal strategies that serve both their short-term and long-term goals. Though they enjoy economic freedom, outside institutions have been questioned on their involvement in striking a balance between the states and markets. Their impact on the aspects above cannot be ignored, thus the need to have defined strategies for their involvement. Foremost, outside institutions should create a favorable political environment that will reduce state tensions, which eventually affect the market.

It is vital to have them in support of market strategies that will hardly interfere with economic growth. Also, they should not support…
